Kildare County have signed:
Alan McDermott from Dundalk
Philly Gorman - back from army duty
Alan Kelly - played with Dublin City last season
Trevor Bowers - signed from Coill Dubh in the non-league. He scored 25 goals for them last season and scored four goals in five games for the Oscar Traynor Kildare side, as well as being an ammateur international.
Work on the new 1700 seater stand, complementing press boxes, toilets and offices are due to start towards the end of the season. This will bring seating capacity of the RSC up to 3000. The athletics track has already been installed. WE dont owe any substantial debts AFAIK and the Management Committee are running the business side of things very astutely.Quote:

Gorman and McDermott are decent signings. I don't think Alan Kelly will play much because i don't think he is fully commiting to training after a year playing GAA for Carlow. Bowers is interesting, i saw bits of him playing for Coill Dubh. He is quick but a bit small. It's a massive step up for him though, i would imagine that it could be next season before he makes a real impact. What has happend to Derek Delaney by the way? he hasn't been involved in a long time.Quote:

It's interesting that the club is starting to bring in the likes of bowers, Eoin Kavanagh and John Flynn. Good to see local players getting a look in but i hope that the board and John Ryan remember that we are still an Eircom League team so there is no point in just filling the team with junior players. We need experienced Eircom League players too if we are to ever get away from the bottom of the league.
Is that the same Liberian tour he's been on since late last year or has he returned home since? Very effective striker at First Divison level, provided he keeps his temper in check.Quote:

No new signings at DC that I'm aware of. The comically rotund Brendan Markey (last sighted at Pat's) re-signed on a free transfer about a month ago and has hauled himself off the bench for a couple of substitute appearances.
You missed a sighting - he was at Kildare County briefly earlier in the seasonQuote:

Heres one thing I don’t understand :eek:
Lots of Bohs fans saying that Crowe would love a move back to Bohs.
Lots of posters here saying Shels have not paid their players in two weeks.
Lots of posters here saying contracts are null and void if you don’t pay a player for two week.
Now heres the bit I don’t get !
Why have Bohs offered Shels money to take an unhappy player with no contract :rolleyes:
Come on, this is Bohs we're talking about - they can't help p!ssing away their hard-earned cash.:)Quote:

Just confirmed on www.waterford-united.ie that Alan Reynolds has resigned for the blues for this year and for the rest of next season, also james chambers is staying on at the club, also heard of another 1 or 2 more major signings to be announced before the deadline is up, will post up if i hear anymore.
Whats your opinon on Mr Chambers ?
There is no evidence to suggest that Bohs have offered MONEY for Crowe.Quote:

Dublin city have signe Lee Roche from Pats. Not sure if its permanent or loan deal. Pats expect to have one more player leave and up to 4 to come in. Have heard the rumours but will won't name names until they sign

Have you figured out yet which of the above three is incorrect ?
He could **** up his vocal chords in some way.Quote:

In the early part of the season, he was giving 100% - certainly not afraid of a tackle. Since the break, I think he's looked lethargic and possibly not fit enough. Yet to score for us, although he's been terribly unlucky half a dozen times. His discipline has been poor. He missed the Bray game through suspension (for 4 bookings) and has since been booked in both games he's played!Quote:

Thanks bluemovie.
I only got to see him play as a sub a couple of times and he looked ok but he was never going to get a look in at Shels with the amount of midfielders we have.
Will Reynolds take the place of Chambers in the middle?
We played three in the middle cos they were all light young lads which meant we never got a sniff up front. Hopefully, Rennie's return will allow us go 4-4-2 in which case, it'd be Grant and Reynolds in the middle and Chambers might have a chance on the right of midfield or as a second striker?? I'd say we'll still play 4-5-1 for tomorrow and Monday until we sign another striker. So that would mean Chambers will probably keep his place against Sligo, but he's ineligible for Monday anyway cos it's a loan deal.
In return, PM me if you hear anything about Harris coming to us!
I think Fenlon has suggested that them two Reynolds and Deegan are the only two players who he sees leaving the club.
Apart from Crowe Ndo to Drogheda and Ryan Moore etc etc to Bohs of course ;)
Actually you might want to ask the Rovers fans as they normally know before us. Actually I think its the rovers fans who will inform Harris if and when he is to move!! :p
Gareth Cooney. Ex bohs, Limerick (loan) Kilkenny (Loan) Kildare, Rovers at the start of the season i think so...back to Limerick now!
Bowers played class against Kilkenny, I haven't seen a player so good at taking on others on the ground at Station Road since Jimmy Igwilo! Alan Kelly had his jaw broken V Shamrock Rovers I heard - won't be back for a while. Derek Delany had what it took, but never really tried. He might be gone out the door. Gorman scored V Kilkenny and is starting to show form straight away. He hasn't improved his temperment though. He headbutted the Kilkenny keeper Zidane style!
You really are a tool higgins!! :rolleyes:Quote:

Any Transfer Table of all the transfers so far in the Premier League and First Division ?
http://www.stpatsfc.com/news.php?id=983
St Patrick's Athletic FC can confirm the following movements of players during this transfer window:
IN:
Keith Fahey from Drogheda United
Brenton Leister (last club Leeds United)
Mark Rooney (last club Dublin City)
Kevin Grogan (last club Bray Wanderers)
OUT:
Stephen Caffrey to Bohemians on loan
Ian Maher to Kildare County on loan
Alan Reilly to Waterford United
UCD out -
Alan Cawley (Waterford)
Ciarán Quinn (Glenavon)
Some other full-back - think his name was Paul Shiels or something - to Glenavon. Strange move as we only signed him from Newcastle/Middlesboro (forget which) this month!
