I think O'Sullivan, Tyrrell and O'Neill have all played for Bray at some point and Corie Treacy is from Bray. TC must like Bray. Treacy sounds like a great addition. We should be well stocked at centre back with himself, Willo, Hope and Deans. Haverty can play in there too.
Tony Griffiths wasent mentioned, has he signed for someone else does anybody know???
Probably wasn't kept on I'd say. Haven't heard of him going anywhere else as yet. Used to work hard but he missed so many chances it was crazy.
Wasn't mad on him either. Would have been nice to see Crawley on that list! :D
It would have been but it seems he's had better offers which isn't very surprising really. I think Dundalk have been the ones most strongly linked.
I was speaking to a Dundalk fan last week and he told me Crawley is very close to signing with them
I remember Tyrell playing with Bray and obviously Traecy with Limerick but I know very little about the other 2.
Loving the pre-season line up!
Theres no mention of Gary Cronin this year at all. Is it he stayin on as coach or is the new coach taking over from him? Great news that popstar duffy isnt around as he was useless last season! stick to makin music!!
We'll find out in a few weeks I suppose. Had forgotten about Duffy, he didn't have a great spell but got a lot of abuse when he didn't do anything particularly offensive just didn't play well.
Duffy is muck delighted hes gone as for Cronnin a nice guy that did well 2 seasons back filling in for Mick Lee but fairly hopeless at times so if he stays as a coach great if not oh well.
Was Duffy not gotten rid of after he got sent off in one of our last games??? Could be wrong but heard Cousins was like a bull with him over something and he was given the boot!
Happy with who we have kept, could do with a few more signings as small squad, few injuries and same thing could happen as last season...hopefully these 3 lads from lsl are able to step up to the mark.. i expect playoff place at LEAST this year
Careful now...Quote:

Brilliant signing
Any info on him?
Left sided player, was over with Sheffield United then came home and played for Fingal, Monaghan and Waterford as well as Cork I think. Good footballer but he has quite a short fuse however and is prone to making wild challenges from what I can remember of him.
Brother of Alan and Stephen Quinn. The only of the 3 not to have full international caps.
There's more brothers. Graham & Ciaran played LOI for a number of clubs tooQuote:

A cracking read here.

There must have been some amount of comfort eating between 2008 and 2010 !
The comment about Quinn and a short fuse are correct hes prone to making wild challenges and seeing red for them but theres no doubt he has the ability to be a top player or he wouldnt have made it to England in the first place.
I suppose when you think about it Keith Gillespie and Keith Quinn would have being at Sheffield Utd at the exact same time. Keith Quinn didnt make any first team appearanes when he was with Sheff Utd between 07-09 but both Alan and Stephen Quinn played against us in the Sheff Utd friendly in 07!

Meant to say earlier I am surprised that Darragh Reynors name isnt mentioned. Is he gone officially??
He hardly played for us in fairness. I wouldn't think it's much of a surprise if he is gone. There's better players than him out there.Quote:

Not that Romanian (?) kid is it? Didn't see him myself but I remember everyone on here raving about him. Wouldn't need a work permit now either.Quote:

I think it's just since 1 January that he doesn't need a work permit and the international window is open too so he'd be free to sign if they can get him alright.Quote:

Could really do with that Romanian lad. He was very good in pre-season.
Would be the perfect replacement for Tommo
He was Latvian/estonian Gints Freimanis?
No, not him. This kid was about 18 and played one friendly during last summer I think. I wasn't at it so can't recall his name.
He played a pre-season game last year against Derry I think.
Did a quick search there it seems it was Drogs he played against last February. Radu Contor was his name apparently. He was with a Romanian second division club it seems.
