No, he hasn't appeared yet, but none of the new signings this month have. They'll probably be bedded into the USL team first but they have a few weeks off currently which is a bit unfortunate.

Pats are signing Daryl Kavanagh from Cork
Dave Ryan is going the opposit direction
Former Derby County and Bray midfielder Graham Kelly signed for Athlone from Salthill.
Has left the club, wasn't able to commit to training. Was highly rated at the club and would have certainly got his chance but fitness and sharpness needed to be better.Quote:

Don't see him getting much game time at Athlone. Take it Roddys just strengthening the squad?Quote:

Absolutely ridiculous. We dont even need a keeper and now kenny and morrissey are our only registered strikers with kilduff only on loan. Behan and furlong also out the door and although they weren't up to much we now have limited options up front. Im hoping he has another striker lined up... surely?Quote:

Sligo Rovers in:
Matt Gledhill, last with Stoke City reserves.
Richie Ryan returning to us apparently. Not confirmed yet.
Limerick in:
Cecil Nyoni
Ali Abass (Pending work permit)
Prince Agyemanng ( Pending work permit)
Those are some fantastic names.
The second two lads have come through the right to dream academy in Ghana.

I cant wait til we are live on RTE and the commentators have to describe a flowing move from Abass through Nzuzi,Nyoni,Tiofack,Agyemang and Bossekota.Quote:

But then ghana is a former colony aswell. :-\
Also how long do you have to stay in Ireland to get eu citizenship??

They work the same way they work in any job in Ireland, football doesn't get an exception. If you aren't an EU citizen you have to be working in a job that pays a certain salary. That used to be around €30,000 a year or so but may have changed.Quote:

Apparently Liam Kearney is in Turners Cross, on the pitch, wearing City colours.
Big signing.
Did nobody tell him the cup match was last night?
Ray Lally also playing for cork tonight.
Oh the irony :DQuote:

I'm actually happy about that. He failed his medical with us.
Don't lie to us Dong....Quote:

Very little ambition if he had a choice between the two Rovers
Mid table mediocrity wins out over a league title challenge. I suppose a four figure wage packet compensates for probable absence of European football next season?
Big gamble by Shamrock Rovers. An expensive half fit player for the last 10 games?
A desperate last throw of the dice by Croly to keep his job?
Unhappy with it? Of course - he was a class player for us. Then again, so were Quigley and McGuinness. He should be able to do a job for them, but in fairness to Dong, the talk about him failing the medical was around early this morning, long before any of the Sligo fans heard anything about him signing Shams. Could be true, could be someone in Sligo making excuses. We'll find out soon enough. It wouldn't be the first time we lost a good player to Tallaght, but in recent times it hasn't exactly done us much harm. Funnily enough, the most damage was done by our reject keeper. :)
Why would he be match fit? He hasn't played since March.Quote:

I'm aware of the fact he hasn't been playing and couldn't get any game time since he went there. Reading between the lines it is possible that we wanted somebody to help us push on for the league but he was too unfit for that purpose. Pure speculation on my part.Quote:

That could hardly be the case - it is too far fetched even for Rovers.Quote:
