Wonder where Crawley would fit in if we signed him? For me he was always a better winger than full back but we've just signed lorcan Shannon to play there and I can't see TC using his head and playing willie Tyrell in his natural position of centre back next season and we've re-signed Glenn O'Connor to that position also so it will be interesting to see where he ends up putting these players should Crawley sign.
. Be serious if we signed him again, any word on purdy??Quote:

Cousins wants to re-sign Purdy but I think Purdy has said he wants to be playing more regularly. He wasn't happy with O'Brien been picked ahead of him week after week. There is a contract on the table for him but have heard UCD and Bray are interested.
hmm interesting that. A little known fact is that his uncle Michael O Brien played for us in the 93/94 season making 27 appearances and scoring 2 goals.Quote:

signing confirmed on Shannonside today!
Can I ask why on earth Aaron brilly has been let go? Anytime he's come in for the first team he's been played out of the position and been fantastic. He's a natural leader of the u19 side and as a result he never worried or looked phased when he came on alongside the senior players, I mean what is the point in producing these u-19 lads if we are just going to let them go after 2 seasons because bar the odd exception like Jamie Mulhall that's what seems to be happening every single season.
Didn't see much of Brilly to be honest but he's very small which may have counted against him. Dean Murphy and Dylan McKeever have apparently been signed for the first team for next season along with Mulhall as confirmed already.
Probably to make room for a new right back. Cousins has a Premier right back lined up. If he signs it nearly looks like Havo could be centre back next season.Quote:

He was small but he was very strong physically and he was played as a right back for the first team when he was in fact a midfielder and preformed brilliantly it would he no harm to keep players like him around the club.
I for one am delighted Pat Flynn is coming. He is extremely experienced and except for his spell with Shels I think he is highly thought of by Waterford,St Pats and Shamrock Rovers.Maybe a few of the shamrock rovers can tell me if he played for Shamrock Rovers against Partizan Belgrade. I think he did play in that game..

what's the point in just keeping someone around the club who won't get a game,even as second choice!?for the craic?he is a good ball player all right but not good enough for senior football yet,he would not be able for the physicality of the first devision yet either from watching him. it goes to show the terrible structures in place in this country for bridging the gap between U19 and senior football if anything!Quote:

In other news the draw was made for the fourth round of the Leinster Senior Cup and we have being drawn against Shamrock Rovers(Wexford) away. Ties have to be played on or before February 16 2014.
Never knew there was a Shamrock Rovers in Wexford but it seems there is. Maybe they'd like to join the league as well.
No, Pat Sullivan started and finished both games. He was an unused sub for both matches I think.Quote:
