Rafter was with Colchester United in England but returned home due to homesickness, even though he was supposed to be doing quite well there. I heard he hadn't set the world alight with Waterford but he is supposed to be a quality finisher when he gets going. Commitment must be an issue then.Quote:

Thomas McBride - Stute to Harps??????????
Any muckers hear anything?
Training with Dundalk I think.Quote:

I would count him as he had played 3 games for glentoran..Quote:

Wouldn't surprise me tbh. A Stute fan on their forum was giving out about his performance on Saturday...Quote:

When he was subbed he then showed his complete disrespect by walking straight to the dressing room without acknowledging the oncoming player or the call of one of his coaches and also the captain.
I hope he was told to keep on walking and not come back. He is of no use to the club, a disgraceful performance and attitude which could spread to some of the other players if not curtailed.
If he has an attitude like that I don't want him near the club.
He wasn't released from Derry because of his ability, its because he is a complete header. He doesn't have a brain, he is a quality player but spoils it with his attitude. Abit similar to a midfielder who was with Harps a few years back and Coleraine also, cant remember his name though?

The "McBride is a header" isn't as clear cut as that. Im hearing there is alot more to that story than people know about.
The lad is a cracking player and I'd take him in a heart-beat, exactly what we need in midfield.
We've some 20 year old French fella on trial, Nicholae Millinceanu. A Google search brings up nothing, though apparently he was at Monaco and a few lower league French sides. He'll be playing tonight against Harps.
Dundalk signing Left back/Centre back Brazillian Hernany.
Clip of him here:

i predict about 4 red cards for him this season if he signs
That vid reminds me of the Jaroslaw Bialek one that was floating around when he joined Pats.
Why didn't you give him a bigger budget than he already got when he turned down Derry and St Johnstone, cant blame him really course he was going to f**k off....Quote:

Surprised somebody like Bray or Monaghan didn't take a chance on Alan Kirby. Looking at that Monaghan team in the friendly thread, it's safe to say he would certainly be an addition to them.
