Ah well. I'm sure we'll find someone else to bring in if the budget allows. No shortage of available players these days.

bit of useless info for ye guys. I was goin thro the 2004 ltfc match programs and came across the fact that Des Hope got the late equaliser for Athlone Town against us in the Fai Cup match in flancare(2-2) in that 2004 season.. Other info I picked up on him was : he is from Co Kildare ,moved to ballinasloe and missed the entire 2007 season injured for them. He left Athlone Town two months before the season ended last year!
He also played for Roscommon County in the Oscar Traynor many years back when the old fella was manager.
He and Paddy Collins had a cracking game VS Bohs
yeah fully agree with you on that. outspoken I have a good feeling that we wont be conceding as many goals as last season especially with the likes of Alvin Rouse marshalling defence!!.Quote:

heard alot about this new keeper, all good... he is ment to be good enough already...
I got it confirmed from someone close to the first team that Paul Hunt is here permanently..as per general thread he was goalie on pats A team last season and Bohs A team the season beforeQuote:

Good to see a back up plan anyway hopefully we wont need him and Alvin can do the job.
Whats the issue? I'd rather know it comes from a credible source rather than some randomer.Quote:

Hello, Paul, welcome to the club! ;)Quote:

Well maybe it's Paddy C as there is a mention of him before as well. Maybe you should read the whole article not just the first line. Maybe it's not either of them and someone looking around the forums and giving you some info on a new player you have that you can't even spell his name correctly.
I have watched these Bohs players Collins, Lee and Hunt as well as others that have been to other LOI clubs as they have moved about from the most successful Bohs schoolboy side that they have had to see how they progressed, it is good to see how a club's academy players progress at other clubs
I was joking, relax. All info is appreciated. Cheers. Out of interest what other LOI players were on that side?
thanks macy. I am not willing to disclose on this forum who told me the information but he is involved with the first team and I thought of texting him to confirm the status of the Paul Hunt transfer instead of people wasting time speculating.. And no its not the gatekeeper!!Quote:

Lee was just referred to in that second one, whereas Hunt was referred to in all 3!! The last about Rouse having to look over his shoulder!!! As Longfordian said RELAX mate its just a bit of craic!!Quote:

A lot of the squad would be on amateur contracts I'd imagine. Credit to Tony Cousins he's got a decent squad together on very small money.

I'm almost certain we will sign a LB as cover and I'm sure wel have a few junior league players coming in so far Athlone, Waterford and Cork have all tapped into that market, some real good players out there, just look at Jack Morley for example he came from Crumlin, wasnt even getting in their 1st team.
I believe that Longford have signed a centre forward called Jean Biansumba, born in Congo and has played with Ireland U-15s, previously at Nottingham Forest Youth and Shepshed Dynamo in English lower league and was on trial with Cork City during pre-season.
Saw someone that I think was him sat with the players at the first Finn Harps game. There was talk of him coming in earlier in the season but he must be only eligible now.
If thats true it would be a great signing as it gives us cover for Don and Ozzie because i wouldnt call the roches out and out strikers same goes for Oledele.
Talking to a cork fan he says hes crap, fast but crap
Heard we signed 4 new players any truth in this?
You were after a striker that played last season with St Francis in the LSL
