anyone hear the boro are back training already?
Yeah, I heard they either went back last Thursday night or this week, not too sure.Quote:

I would suggest maybe Tues 8th or Thurs 10th July to go back and have 6 weeks pre-season done by the time the league starts.
i think that the players wanted to go back as they felt they had fallen off of the pace last season...
6 to 8 weeks is madness abbey... there's prem teams who dont even do that!
4 weeks(2/3 a week) of tough sprinting sessions is more than enough for pre season.
I think its way too early to start pre season, boro were struggling to field a team for games this season... Give players a nice few weeks off so that by the time they come back the hunger is there again.
Is it true they've signed a few underage players for the junior team next season?
Shane Guerin leaving Balla alright but going back to L37Quote:

No forms out yet so they cant, they have youths and 17's sides so id imagine underage players would sign for those teams!!Quote:

I said 6 weeks for the top 4/5 teams in the Prem (which would mean probably 4-6 weeks for the sides outside the top 5, a minimum 4 weeks is definitely required for any team in Junior football).........
Not if he's father, grandfather & unlce in law have anything to say about it.Quote:

5 weeks is plenty of time for a preseason, most players will keep themselves ticking over and do a bit before the preseason starts anyway. Not totally convinced about the decision by the Boro players to go back so early, bit of a knee jerk decision but again it would depend on numbers attending and the type of training they are doing so early (or late) in the season. Only time will tell.
monty, peter clark, darren naughton, to star pa barry to stay, new manager going to be in soon, most of last season to stay wiht the odd few leaving. :cool:

He would walk on the Boro team, and IMO would also get in the Pike side.
Is there any other big name transfers on the horizon? or what about managerial changes?

Dermot Finnan will still be Park manager next season, was surprised to hear this from a Park player on Tuesday evening. We shall see.....

have heard nothing but would expect dermto to leave park and if not park get rid of him. He did not get p[romotion from 1b which was a must.Quote:
