What about Stephen Fox? Is he with Arklow or is he still playing for that matter?
So who would you pick as your first choice XI from what you have so far?
Well the first XI against Athlone was:Quote:

I'd guess it'd pretty much be that, except maybe David Tyrrell would start.
From what i've heard the following are training with us and we are in talks with them - Dave Rogers, Mark O'Brien, Robbie Doyle, Stephen Brennan, Mark Leech, Gavin Whelan and Anto Flood (i think).Quote:

some very interesting players mentioned there...all areas covered
Gavin Whelan should get an interesting reception back..
Robbie Doyle is back also.
Christ.Quote:

any news of any more signings?
Confirmed on website that Robbie Doyle has signed. If his attitude is right this is a good signing imo. Will carry much better goal threat than Kelly
Flip Flop returns!Quote:

Robbie Doyle and Richie Baker both confirmed signings for Bray
I'm glad to see Ritchie Baker signing for us. He could prove to be a good performer.
I'm really not happy about having Robbie Doyle back. Hasn't the club learned anything from the last few times? Fair enough, you can give somebody a second chance but this is too much. Imo, the fact that Dundalk and Sporting have both released him since says a lot.
2 fantastic signings for Bray! Baker is a speed merchant and Robbie will score given the chances. Robbie and Shane O Neill up top!
Ditto. Always liked Richie Baker. Will give RD the benefit of the doubt but feel will have an "I told you so" moment later in the season.Quote:

I am sure you could add a few more clubs to that list as well but sure it's not his fault he's just a misunderstood flawed genius.Totally agree with what you say but hope to be proved wrong.
3 or 4 goals in 30 odd appearances for us hardly backs this up. He's a flawed genius who's just misunderstood. Remember one of the first things Eddie did when he took charge was bomb this fella out. I suppose it's a sign of the times. If we had stayed up at the end of last season i honestly believe he wouldn't have brought him back.Quote:

As long as players do it on the pitch season then i don't really mind who we sign, i think people personal opnions about a player off the pitch get involved in on the pitch issues.Quote:

Which is a huge question with the player in question.Quote:

Rafa stop stirring it. Robbie in his first spell wasn't played much. And he was a work horse in his second spell. Zayed took the plaudits but Robbie done the donkey work. Myself and anto discussed this when he signed for his 2nd spell. I remember he was taken off against pats and the boo's from us could be heard back in Bray cos he had a great game and lazy **** zayed did nothing and was left on!
Remember that well KR. And if I remember correctly Robbie won a peno and picked up the ball and Zayed took it off him on management orders and then proceeded to miss it with a proper sh!t penoQuote:

Jesus i remember that now, i think it was one of the 1st times i can really remember the fans getting on the managers back about taking the wrong player off. I think in that game to Robbie won a peno and Zayed took and the ball and missed the peno?
Edit - Didn't see Hulsy's post above :)
Stirring nothing. One game against Pats means nothing. Zayed was and is a better player. He is a striker who scores goals. Pity the same can't be said about Robbie Doyle. The fact he has had so many clubs tells the tale imo.Quote:

no matter what anyone says about robbie he put a shift in last night.
I think he couls be a really good influence on the pitch for the younger guys (I know that seems a bit off the wall but I juyst have a feeling that robbie has a point to prove and is going to prove it)
Yeah hope Flip Flop can prove a point. Time will tell.Quote:

However, after Friday night I realised what I'd been missing out on all along.
It's not really about going to see a game and sitting there expecting to be entertained.
It's about sitting in front of your team and being part of a vocal support.
I wish I'd started going to games sooner!
And that move near the end between our 2 yound forwards, which Shane missed wouldn't have looked out of place on any level!
Really can't wait for the next home against Fingal.
Also, it was good to see a lot of families & kids at the Carlisle.
My nephew will be over from Paris in April, so I'll drag him along - give him a football education!
Fair play to ya. Great to have new supporters on board.Quote:

I'll try and drag him up to a game when the weather gets warmer. :cool:
It's only fair to warn you that there is no going back now.Quote:

Him and Shane O'Neill looked good up front and will hopefully form a good partnership.Quote:

SupaJon, welcome aboard ;)

You should be safe enough for the moment but if you want to be 100% safe you should think of a season ticket as its only €99 for an adult ticket.Quote:
