Maybe he's cousins with the manager :cool:
A step backward here for Athlone. Emeka was an average player, got a few goals early on then he dried up. Never tracked back and will struggle against more accomplished full backs in the premier division.Quote:

I seen him play probably only once maybe twice at most but he looked a hell of a player (for 1st division level.) If he has a good attitude and works hard he should do a job for them.
Whats the general consensus on that rovers b team? Could it be strong enough to challenge?
I'd imagine only a handful have seen the Rovers 19s and they seem to make the bulk of the squad. Very hard for most to sayQuote:

Well let's hope Rovers B are equally good or bad against everyone or there will be some whingeing going on - still that could be a bit of craic too
People are going to whinge either way. A team made up of teenagers is not going to be equally good or bad against everyone, so people might as well start getting their excuses in now to save time.
Daryl Carrigy, 17 year old Longford lad who is currently signed with Derby is likely signing with LTFC next week apparently. Played for us tonight v Athlone. Sounds like the club and/or the player are negotiating his release from Derby as he wants to stay home for a while. Played for Harps earlier in pre season but it looks like he'll be joining us.
Dave O'Leary from us to Rovers is the rumour going around.
Dave o Leary has signed for cork city this morning, has been training all week and penned a contract today.
Do you think he will get many games with ye? Ye seem strong enough in the middle of the park as it is.Quote:

Stephen Mc Phail has signed for Shamrock Rovers from Sheffield Wednesday for the 2014 season.
Delighted with that. Croly seems to have lucked out after letting all his midfielders go and not being able to attract anyone from within the league.
Has Stephen Bradley signed?
Rice 30, Chambers 27, McPhail 34. No doubting his experience, but ... At least Kilduff got on scoresheet against Shelbourne. Hopefully Croly has more faith in him this year than last.
