He was very impressive. Played just behind Ozzie in the 2nd half and was very good. Thought he had a foreign look about him alright.

Trying to out do our mysterious foreign trialists is it. Maybe he is coming on loan from Spartak Moscow.

This guy maybe? Page can translate into english via Chrome, not sure if it does on any other browser. Essentially, he's only 18 years old and a 'golgetter' which one can only assume means he's a goal getter...aka striker.

Radu plays jotbal counter the Union Club junior team. At only 15 years, it has already received 15 medals in recognition of sporting performance

Or something to that effect....bad translation to say the least.

Impressive Googling Nigel. Could be him, it seems he came on up front. I couldn't make it so can't confirm anything else!

Google? Nonsense...I knew this already with my extensive knowledge of everything Romanian.

Harps had a very strange starting lineup. Going by extratime it's a very scrappy game.

Finished 1-0 in Dundalk.

Meh, you've got nothing to complain about. Harps haven't even scored a goal in pre-season.

yes, based on what I've seen, that is one match against each team. My opinion doesn't equal fact you know.

No team has anything to fear from Dundalk from what I saw against Finn Harps.

Anyone know who Peter Thomas for Dundalk is or where he came from?

That's even more comforting since our strikeforce is probably the strongest part of our whole squad.
