Abass does look a particularly promising goalkeeper, and I was under the impression he had overtaken Ryan last year.
Ryan picked up an injury as far as I remember and that's how abass got in to the team. He did well while there. He needs game time but certainly has the build and agility there to be a very good keeper. Ya don't know the details just that the club were having difficulties. Most people had thought them coming back wasn't going to happen at this stage to be honest. A pity we never got Abdel in cause he was supposed to have looked extremely impressive.Quote:

Has this been confirmed by anyone, anyone!!Quote:

A 70 year old Kevin Fitzpatrick would be an improvement on O'Donnell...
Thought Abass looked very solid at the end of last season. Very good feet as well.
I was only going on the game in Tallaght but he looked a very solid shot-stopper and almost saved the penalty. Do remember him giving out a couple of suicidal passes though.
According to the review of the Dundalk game on the club website the club are awaiting clearance for both.Quote:

And yet, he still struggles to catch a ball above anyones head.Quote:

Conor gets a lot of unfair stick from people who don't realise that he is in mortal danger every time he plays. There is a magnetic field running from post to post, an inch above the ground, and if he strays beyond the goal line, or jumps, he will be incinerated. Also, his gloves have magnetic strips as well so catching the ball sets that off as well.Quote:

Ex Shels, Bray, and Waterford, Gary Dempsey, has confirmed he's taking up management at LSL side, Greystones.
Harps in: Nathan Boyle (Derry - Loan)
Underwhelming replacement for KeatingQuote:

I think it's a decent addition.Quote:

The most depressing piece of that article is all these other unknown prospects available for prices ranging between €3m and €15m. Richie available for €200k... sickening.Quote:

Dundalk could have the geezer tied down to a decade long contract and he'd still struggle to fetch over £1m. He'll also do well to get a few minutes of prem football in his entire career, nevermind reach Coleman heights.
That all sounds very negative and bitter but I promise I have no hidden agenda, I just don't think he'll reach the levels others do.
I agree with you. No doubt the guy is extremely talented and probably one of the best LOI players there has been in a while but from what I have seen of him he makes a few mistakes in every game I have watched. Mistakes you would not get away with at a higher level. There must be something stopping teams from snapping him up yet.Quote:

Conor Sammon? Wigan paid £1.2 million or something when they were in the Premier. To be fair, he never looked a good player in Ireland and inexplicably started banging them in for Kilmarnock.
