Bray Wanderers have completed the signings former Republic of Ireland youth internationals Joe Gorman and Gareth McDonagh. The two players have recently enjoyed youth team stints in Scotland – with striker McDonagh (18) returning from Celtic and defender Gorman (19) joining from Inverness Caley Thistle.
Everton looking at Ronan Finn and B team goalkeeper Michael Kelly apparently. Would be a strange one that. I love Finn but he's never looked THAT good and he's having a rotten season. He at least does condition himself for full-time football in England so that might make him a more attractive option for clubs over there.
Ian Turner from City to Limerick (possibly a loan move since he's under contract until the end of the season).
City to sign either Andrew Neville (UCC) or Gavin Kavanagh (Waterford United).
I would be amazed if Everton signed Ronan Finn, he's turning 27 this year.Quote:

He was only with us for a what, 4 months? I can't imagine we were paying him enough that he'd be able to cancel all the money spent on a holiday. It certainly didn't suit us at the time but won't be condemning the lad, especially when he played so well for us in the last game he did play.Quote:

Open to correction though.
I can see the truthful conversation now:
Ebbe: Mr Chairman I've a holiday booked clashing with the playoff game, if you pay for a new holiday I'll play.
Mr. Chairman: No
Ebbe: But Im a semi pro on 2 and 6 a week, im only at the club a wet weekend, you can hardly expect me to change my personal plans.
Mr Chairman: This is Longford Towns biggest game in years!!
Ebbe: Goodluck with that.
Seriously, if he was a full time pro by all means flog him to death. But some sort of reserve keeper knocking around Longford??
A few grips need to.be gotten I feel.
He's not a keeper by all accounts.
In other EXCITING NEWS we've confirmed the signing of Ian Turner from Cork.
He goes straight into the squad for tonights match against bohs which should boost the attendance from 200 to 203 assuming he has a family.
Ian had been unlucky with us. He's probably the best athlete in the league and has a great attitude. He'll do well.Quote:

According to the report they won't be able to register the 3 players they signed this week.Quote:

Kynan Rocks was being talked about as a serious player at Cobh but seems like he didn't rock at Waterford. Any good? His name is too cool not to succeed at the highest level possible.
Find it very strange a Premier club would take a gamble on him considering the amount of game time and complete lack of influence he's having at Waterford. Impressed me at Cobh, but a long way to go yet before he's ready to play Premier Division.
Mick McCarthy was in Oriel Park last night at Dundalk v Jeunesse. Rumoured to be looking at Richie Towell.
Karl Sheppard signing for Pats maybe even confirmed by early next week apparently
Heard that Danny North wants out of Sligo, possibly moving to a Dublin Club, any Sligo lads hear anything ?
He left at halftime and if he was watching Towell he wouldn't have been too impressed.Quote:

Didn't hear it but hopefully it's right.Quote:

Wilson Carvalho is on trial with us. Winger/striker.
Lad called Nathaniel Gumbo has signed for Ramblers. On the bench tonight. Keeps up our record of signing players with great names
Gary Dempsey to Shels.
Didnt hear it but hopefully it's not rightQuote:
