That's very annoying. With the current climate we are in, every club in the league is finding it hard to generate income to keep going, but are things that bad ???Quote:

Can this player register with a club after January 31st or is there just a total ban on signing new players after this date.
I'm almost certain that it is ok to sign a free agent if he has not signed any form that season.Quote:

We just have not received as many invitations as we have in previous years, in spite of our impressive start to the season.
I could suggest plenty of players on our team that I think are worthy of a place in the AUL squad but that's just pub talk.
The manager's opinion is the only one that counts.
Best of luck to Niall and the lads on wednesday night.
Hopefully our friend sharpshooter will bring his scoring boots.:ball:
As far as I'm aware its the end of March for a player who isnt signed with any club!! Shetland being the guru on player registrations might be able to confirm that for us ;-)Quote:

Hey Scaffa, any update on Littleman?
Well Trouble/Dixie it would be unwise of me to confirm anything yet but you never know!! .......as i said before it would be good to see him back on the football field wheather be coaching or managingQuote:

The closing date for signing an unregistered player is 31st March.Quote:

Jesus lads thats embarressing enough the pink pages!!
After he stated a few week back on the aul site that....
'' When recruiting new players we don't want just anybody that can fill the gap''
'' I've set myself some goals that only I and the committee know and we will keep them close to our chest for the time being''
''Some people might think the club is on its knees, but nothing could be further from the truth in fact the club has just climbed the first rung on the way back to the top. The club is in the ascension.''
Well if the pink pages is what he had close to his chest well in afraid the club is on his knees.
Sad really.......
Scaffa Littleman would be a great addition to your club. Even for a small role like doing the homework on opposition and stuff if he wanted to give a bit of a hand
Lads, on the AUL manager using his position to get players to Bandon, did Minty take one at least to Casement with him after the win? Its upto every manager to use his connections surely? He laughed when I told him the other day that he sits at home wondering which AUL players he can steal for Bandon!
Thats crap - stealing from another club. If that is true - the AUL should throw them out. Its that serious. It might only be a ball or a corner flag or whatever, but its the principle. 90% of our board meetings talking about fundraising and these clubs robbing from another. We were out in CIT the other day V Pearse and one of our guys went over a ditch after our ball - spotted one of theirs that we couldnt reach. We marked the spot and went and told their line. Why? Cos every club is struggling.
Lads I can confirm that no one in Grattan placed that ad - was possibly placed by a disgruntled former playerQuote:

I own up. I placed the ad. It was part of my conspiracy to annihilate Grattan......................
Nah i placed the ad :-P (joke) I asked the manager last week if he placed the ad or someone in the club - that would have to be ran by him first! It actually appeared in last weeks echo tooQuote:
