Any word on who Roddy is letting go? Talk of Garvan Coughlan going back to Limerick.Quote:

Would have liked to see Roddy add another central midfielder to the ranks though, feel we are still a little weak in this area, Lanigan started in a promising manner but he hasn't cut it hence being sidelined.
As far as i know, Dixon, Coombes, Oguntola, Relihan, Kelty and Brian Gill are gone. Sean Byrne is a good left back so id imagine Roddy will play Clancey centre mid now. Lanigan started very good but has been terrible the last couple of months. Rumours hes gone too. I think we need a centre back (Gartland hopefully) Another winger, and a striker.
Is Coombes just on loan at the moment? Are Pats taking him back or is it ye dont what to keep him any longer?Quote:

Is Sexton gone now until after the uni games?
Coombes has been fairly **** but as far as i know he told roddy he couldnt play away to harps cause of work but was pictured drinking that day
How has he been doing for ye ? Has he been in the side ?Quote:

Ian Sweeney is easily Athlone's best player this season, the lad is excellent, a real hard worker, genuinely classy and very intelligent on the ball too.
Sweeney has been good but i think if you take away his goals he hasnt been anything great. Lazy is the last word i would use to describe coughlan. Hes been better away from home though thats why alot of people havent gave him as much praise as he should be getting.
Garbhan always looked talented with us but not up for the dog work. I always thought premier would suit him cause of his skill level so was surprised to see him loaned out. From what I hear his younger brother with our under 19's is even more gifted.
Hopefully if Garbhan comes in to the first team he can show what e can really do.
and would roddy play him if he goes to the student games? or maybe a deal can be done where ATFC can pay his wages when hes away at the student games for a month? if he were to stay out on loanQuote:

Very harsh if he is being made not to go but might be no truth in it. Id rather leave him at Athlone tbh dont think he will really make that much of a difference for us this season will more then likely end up on the bench so leave him there to get proper game time.
There is truth to it i know that for a fact. Came from a reliable source. Yeh it doesn't make sense for him to go back to ye
Davy McDaid has parted company with Fleetwood Town, possible return to the LoI perhaps?
If he stays with us then hes off to the Student gamesQuote:

Has there been any developments on signings ATFC?
From what im told Stuart Taylor has told him he will start for them
