Any sign of the transfer fee for Mark Griffin?
Ryan Matthews, Jeff Flood, Friel and McCarthy (Not sure of first name of either on trial with Athlone last night
He must have some agent..... Having seen Enda play for Mervue, Galway United (the less said about that spell the better) and Salthill, I can honestly say I will eat my own head if he gets a deal off a UK club. He runs around the pitch like a duck, he's not pacey, his work rate leaves a lot to be desired. His finishing is alright. He has a tendency to lose the rag on the pitch and do stupid shít like dive into tackles recklessly or hit out at players. Somebody like David O'Sullivan at Longford would be a much better prospect. I think a career in the LOI is the best Curran can hope for, and I don't think he's above First Division level yet.Quote:

Adrian Friel, Luke McCarthy, Aaron Shine in goal and Mark Geoghegan on for Byrne in the second half.Quote:

Osborne is on an amateur contract same as he was at Dundalk.Quote:

He still has to be getting a few quid plus accommodation to justify moving up to Derry, which Im sure is what Brendy was getting at...Quote:

Nah, sure no money left after all these new signings.Quote:

Mentioned about 5:30
Longford are preparing a multi million pound deal
We've promised him a personal burger van at every game.
Getting a bit old now isnt it??
What's getting a bit old?!! :DQuote:

Plays in midfield spent a few years with Derby County and Ayr United. Think he might have been one of the players we were linked with earlier in year along with a striker from Sligo.Quote:

Nowhere near good enough for any Premier Division team. Doubt he'd do much in First either.Quote:

Connolly mainly played on the wings for us anytime he got a game but can play CM (which he done in a friendly), He's fit and will battle for ya but dont be expect him to be beating players galore or whiping in great crosses.
It's a significant step down he's taking to be fair so he may have more of an impact. We'll see.
Big boost to his age packet though.Quote:

Great news for him if true. Pity he's defected to the beggars up north.
He's only played U21. Plenty of time left to make the right call.Quote:

Connolly makes the move to the First Division high flyers after a year with the Bit o’ Red, having made 31 appearances.
Colm McLaughlin has also left Rovers by mutual consent. He was previously part of underage teams in The Showgrounds and was a member of the senior squad.
The club wish both players well for the future and thank them for their valued contribution to Rovers.
Sounds a bit like Nkololo. Only promising thing I've heard is that he can play in the middle and get stuck in. Could help fill Salmos void.Quote:

Last signing we got from sligo rovers was a certain Tom King in 09 and he turned out to be a super signin! give the lad a chance! at least its not his older brother Evan we are signing who was poor for us!
He's been with Derry the whole time, no?Quote:

We're also in for two Spanish centre halfs, Carel Tiofack and Gareth Bale.
I assume that's excluding agents fees. Pat Dolan will be looking for his usual 65%.Quote:
