Gorgeous Georgie's Career path can change in a different direction at any time. As a Scholarship player he is with UCD AFC 'til the end of 2018 Season (Football). There is a three month Internship to be endured as part of his Commerce Degree course after his Finals to be sat in 2018 (Education). If the Student isn't jaded with formal education he can sign up for a Master Degree course immediately on completion of the Degree course (Education).
If he transfers to Dundalk FC from UCD AFC (Football) before the end of the 2018 season, UCD can expect Compensation. What value is the slow down of UCD's scoring and likely loss of points gained at the back end of the season?
I think HarpoJoyce has it fairly well covered there.Quote:

He's got a scholarship with UCD and has no interest in leaving there yet. The scholarship is handy for him and he wants to make full use of it before going to full time football"

Being a LOI player for Dundalk or anyone unless you get picked up by the UK means a decent living and then when you hit 30ish.........thank God for the education. Besides he could be in the Premier league with UCD next year anyway...
Commerce Masters would only be one year full time. If he done that course next year, he'd still be finishing that season 22 years of age, turning 23 during the off-season the following year. He'd already potentially be playing Premier Division football with UCD.Quote:

Or finish the degree, push for promotion with UCD, remain the focal point of their attack, potential promotion and one year Masters, and have your full education behind you at 22 years of age and have a go at full time football then.
No brainer for me.

The is in no way inspired by any desire to see him get the hell out of the first division this year.
Looks like he'll be staying... for now anyway

The lad has good options, whichever way he goes. Neither option is a poor one.

So that leads one to question, is it no longer fake news? or did someone get in his ear and tell him to delete that as it might look bad? Or was it one of the LADS at UCD who took his phone and tweeted it out as top notch bantering because they are, loike, pure legends, loike.
How many questions in that one question?Quote:

I've used the presumed south Dublin speak myself (poster below). But our Fans are from everywhere, just like the Players.

Georgie, Georgie they call him the Belfield boy...
You’re welcome UCD fans. I’m curious to see if anyone else remembers that tune now.
https://youtu.be/0d4xbt93gKA Had a video about Best my dad bought me when I was a kid and I could be heard singing that song for years afterwards. Great memories.
Yeah I have a memory of him having some kind of a testimonial game in the late 80s and that song being on the TV before it.
Rumours that Blues are signing a free agent defender from England. We only have four defenders in the squad with John Kavanagh out injured for a good while. If he's a free agent would it still be July before he can play?
If he was a free agent before the last window closed then he can play as far as I know. If he was signed to anyone but contract just finishing at the end of the English season then he can't play until July.Quote:

John O'Shea has been described as many things, but a young right back/defensive midfielder I've not heard in a while..Quote:

So, Ronan Curtis is away to Portsmouth at some point, confirms Kenny Shiels is a strange, nautically-themed way.
https://www.derryjournal.com/sport/f...mpression=true
Aaron McEneff could be away as well.
Paul Cook is interested.
https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soc...derry-12514836
There was talk that Dundalk had expressed an interest in the winter, Derry had valued him in 6 figures, end of interest, as he'd be free end of season, but if any side from championship or even L1 comes in, no contest with wages.
If true and with Wigan getting promoted that move would be a no brainer move for McEneff. Cook would be well aware of what was needed to step up.Quote:

Ronan Curtis is off to Portsmouth today, while another club is also interested. Portsmouth offering £250k plus add-ons being talked about.
Not according to Kenny...Quote:
