Bohs, Dundalk, Sligo and Fingal the only full time teams this year then and all bar Fingal with reduced budgets. Maybe, just maybe, despite all the negativity of clubs struggling and going to the wall we might be edging towards a sustainable league.

Bohs, Dundalk, Sligo and Fingal the only full time teams this year then and all bar Fingal with reduced budgets. Maybe, just maybe, despite all the negativity of clubs struggling and going to the wall we might be edging towards a sustainable league.
Something I was wondering about - how many players have Dundalk signed at the moment? They seemed to release most of last year's squad and then just sign four or five players.Quote:

We are full time and have been since 1992, bar 4 or 5 seasons under O'Riordan and Cassidy.Quote:

We just signed our eleventh player, Stephen Maher, yesterday (http://dundalkfc.com/news/100210_Maher.asp).Quote:

"Galway United are expected to reveal new signing Wes Charles tomorrow provided terms are finalised with the FAI.
Charles, a native of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines will rejoin the Tribesmen following a short stint in Canada with the Vancouver Whitecaps."
Wesley Charles is back? Really? I just like this tough defender, tbh!
Don't know how true the Wes stuff is. The source is Wikipedia. Local paper says that Stephen o'Donnell has signed for Galway and Bobby Ryan will be training with us for the next 2 weeks. Thomas Heary is expected to sign over the weekend. The thought of Wes and Heary at the back is a bit scary.
It was on Wesleys wiki page and some lad posted it on our own forum. Stepen O'Donnell is a great signing we are well covered in midfield now but we need 2 good forwards to and a couple of defenders to sort out the squad.If Seamus Conneely and Paul Sinnott resign we might need one more centre half.
Letterkenny Rovers 1 - 1 Finn Harps
Oisin McMenimen with the goal.
We play The Irish Army side on Wednesday night and Sligo at home on Thursday followed by Cockhill Celtic on Saturday.
What time is kick-off Thursday?Quote:

I dont think he even reached that total with us for the first half of last year.
fair play to him always liked fabio but wouldnt imagine Dingli Swallows are up to much
You dunno what you are talking about man, haven't a clue. They are a top European side, it's clear. I mean, their first ever win in top flight Maltese football was to beat Roddy's Floriana in Floriana back in late October, what more evidence do you need?Quote:

Latest from Galway.
Quote:
Jamie McKenzie, James Creaney and Karl Sheppard have all officially signed for United.
Scottish born defender Jamie McKenzie has played League of Ireland football with Sligo Rovers and was Captain of our Connacht neighbours for a period of time.
Irish youth International Karl Sheppard joins from Everton having joined the Merseysiders from Shelbourne youths in June 2007.
James Creaney has played at left back for United in pre-season.
Quote:
United have signed experienced centre half Thomas Heary. 31 year old Heary was Captain of Dundalk last season and was previously with Bohemians.
Robert Bayly who was with Fingal last year came on as a sub for Dundalk tonight against Drogheda.
He'd be a top signing.
Ex Bray striker John Flood scored both our goals. Looked very lively, ran after everythoing, could of scored a hat-trick.
The latest name for Dingle?Quote:

I'd thought that was confirmed. Really does get hard to differentate between rumours and confirmed signings....Quote:

The guy is quality
Unfortunately he is not great for team morale. A bit off the wall tbh. Still worth having though.
A lady of the night....Hailing from Dingle;)Quote:

Seems to be dragging on a bit at this stage.
