He's embarking on his seventh season with a club that's existed for two years.Quote:

It may not be the same to you, but I'll live with the sporadic snide comments from opposition supporters.
I wasn't trying to be snide at all. Is this Galway United recognised as the same as the old Galway United? I thought even within the club they were recognised as two different entities.
Apologies then for taking you up incorrectly. Yes would be the answer to that question (By our supporters anyway, although the FAI didn't list our history/honours before this season, they did for Cork City and Derry City FWIW).Quote:

It's a shame to see Towell go even though I hate the ********.
Mad goings-on at Bray. They seem to have a unique nose for fithy rich suckers at that club.
Danny Furlong has re-signed for Wexford as per their Twitter page
He might have been your ******** only he didnt like the attitude of the Rovers squad, the prima donnas and the way that they believed that they had very successful careers. Alternatively at Dundalk at the time there was a bunch of hard working lads with something to prove and they were all buying into what was happening at Oriel; We know how it panned out. Having said that though there is a nice satisfaction when other club supporters dislike any of your players as it means they are doing something right or they are filthy hardmen who end up with cult status at a club, Tome McNulty being one though there more to his game than kicking people.Quote:

Had a brief chat with Tom at the FAI Cup final(he was working for LMFM radio on the day) Fair play to him he still looks like he could still do it for Dundalk! "He was admired by many that also hated him" to borrow a quote or prob a mis quote from someone or maybe even one that i made up in head just now :D ;)Quote:

I didn't think Healy had another year in him. Gaynor is a big loss. I heard he is talking to Pats, Rovers, and Dundalk.Quote:

I would be shocked if Gaynor was on Dundalk's radar. Most Dundalk fans on here said he was ****e when he was playing with us.Quote:

I would be delighted if he signed back with Dundalk. He would put pressure / provide cover for three positions - left back and both wings (as Horgan could easily switch to right wing)Quote:

Dundalk meant to be announcing 2 or 3 new signings at the kit launch tomorrow night. McEleney could be one, but the compensation figure seems very high.
To be fair that was his first game back in months. He clearly wasn't at 100%. I don't know if hes back to be first choice or to play in a reduced number of games.Quote:

That was my immediate thought when I saw that aswell.Quote:

I've heard that Benson has signed aswell and will be "modelling" the new jersey tomorrow evening.
I saw online earlr that if dundalk didnt play much compensation to Derry City Derry will get more of a cut if McEleney moves abroad!Quote:

Any relation to Paul?
Son of Paul Curran. Derry fans don't seem to rate him much, but he's a good young signing.Quote:

I saw Benson against Bratislava last year and he was outstanding, but seemed more of a no10 than a centre mid.
This is what I would expect (assuming Gannon re-signs). Shields and Benson to compete for a central midfield sport. Kilduff and McMillan to share the lone stiker role.Quote:

Does McEleney play wide? I thought he was a no10 at Derry
He played mostly central. I'd expect Benson to compete with Mountney and Meenan for the wide spot on the opposite wing to Horgan
It is an interesting one and we await the pre-season friendlies with particular interest. In the interim Stephen Kenny interviews might shed some light on his thinking.Quote:

Surely you'd assume Poynton would be heading off on loan somewhere this season? Possibly to Drogheda?
Has Gannon not re-signed yet?, Best fullback in the leagueQuote:

Think he is only recently back from holidays, there were rumours he has rejected a deal, maybe its to get a better one, he is definitely the best right back in the league, so hopefully they can agree terms with him.
* Kurtis Byrne left for Bohs, Sean Maguire will not be staying as he wants regular first team football
Yup! Pity he his probably still serving a ban though...Quote:
