Long has his quirks and randomly falling out with players is definitely one of them. Not using subs properly is another but we'll see if that's still one this season.

Aside from Phillips, the other Pats Trialist today is a lad called Niall Brookwell who started out with Liverpool before going to Newcastle where he was released last summer. Report on the match below, which also mentions the players Bohs are in for

Not to forget Ryan Graydon and Jack Moylan.Quote:

Arran Pettifer on trial for pats. Centre mid that’s on the books at Bolton, presumably taking a look at him for a loan move. Drogheda had 2 Trialists also, Dave Webster and a wingerQuote:

Omorehiomwan (who was fairly good for most of the match) had an open goal after the keeper spilled a free kick but he drove it well over. Bray looked a little lightweight in attack and Maguerson had a poor game.
Harps and Derry play twice most years in preseason.Quote:

He also has firm favourites who won't be dropped in spite of their form. I suppose that's something a lot of managers have but it was especially bad with LongQuote:

Bohs to play rangers b in Glasgow tomorrow. Also playing a Celtic selection while over.
Treaty take on Midleton in the last 8 of the Munster Senior Cup on Friday.
Midleton, like seemingly every MSL team, have a smattering of ex League of Ireland players including Jake Hegarty and John Kavanagh.
The Bohs u20s beat Malahide 1-0 in the LSC tonight. Is the u19 league getting a rebrand this year? A u20 version would make more sense when it comes to player development and pathways to the first team.
Yeah the 19s league is being changed to an U20s league from this year onQuote:

U17 LOI winners will compete in the following seasons UEFA Youth League afaik
Correct - UCD in this case.
Point being I think that the league winners are typically overage by the time the Youth League rolls around, which seemed a bit harsh.
