Are Longford not alright? Seem to be exactly where they’re suppose to be with the 3 above tipped to be the best sides in the division before the season,be harsh to be under pressure only 20 odd games into the job….Quote:

By account of a Bray player during Cronins tenure at the Carlisle Grounds, his behaviour was the right up there with what he ever experienced in a career that has seen him under some of the leagues elder lemons who weren't shy !. By all accounts over stepped on a weekly basis. But LOI just isn't progressive in terms of the types of people that make it as managers. A bit like life in general in Ireland, if you are truly ambitious to over achieve, you tend to get out of the country if the business you are in is small and insular. Stuck in the dark ages in many respects.Quote:

Shane Keegan appointed Cobh manager…

I had convinced myself it was MacArdle was ref, but was Spillane. JFC why would you complain about a ref nowadays when we don't have to put up with Spillane or Wallace - MacArdle was one of the better ones, if that says much.Quote:

The league cup final following season almost made up for it though.
My 1st cup final as I wasnt allowed go the previous year, though didnt miss much. I remember people shouting at the ref politely where to go, thinking it was a free out, then realised it was penalty given, and were 'great refereeing'! and then people asking had they missed something off the ball. As the saying goes ye win some ye lose some. I will never forget that wall of red and white of the Derry end!!Quote:

If right back, it could be a good move for James Brown to get more game time.
For those that were listenin to LOI late nite the other nite it was mentioned that Shane Keegan was linked to the Cobh job! I imagine that Shane Keegan wont be on LOI late nite any more. I always find him interesting!
Louis Britton signs for Cork,bad for Waterford and probably not go down well….

Liam Kerrigan will have an interesting coach at Como ;)
a move to uk might not have been bad after all.Quote:

The meltdowns on twitter are almost as funny as when Dylan Watts left Bohs mid-season after his loan to sign for Shamrock RoversQuote:

Not so much exposure as sheer intense horroer! Kerrigan tore us a new one both times we played UCD last year. Bircham was in charge when we tried four different lef backs on him in the cup and then he was an observer at the playoff a few days after his sacking when LK destroyed us again. Not sure if Bircham's tweet necessarily means he's coaching at Como now, but we'll see.Quote:

Oh well. Better that than Rovers I suppose. Hoped we’d keep him for the season, but I suppose better to get some cash rather than lose him for nothing at the end of the season.Quote:

An initial fee of 200k plus future add ons is brilliant money for Burns considering he’s out of contract in November. Pats also linked with Harry Brockbank most recently of El Paso Locomotive and a former Bolton teammate of Eoin Doyle's
Have the yellow tie on standby, signing alert in Inchicore. The Saints have signed ex Bolton ace Harry Brockbank and Dutch midfielder Thijs Timmermans. I think the SEI will struggle to make up songs for them pair.
Well he'd have been right at home in Dundalk with The Railway men!Quote:
