He was decent enough, good technique but he didn't really seem to enjoy the rough and tumble that you can get in the First. Went to Athlone for the second half of the season so I don't really know how he got on there.
Thought he was decent enough with us, he spent second half of season on loan to athlone
As my two Flansiro comrades said above!
Yeah I thought he looked a decent player, not big on the physical stuff but good touch and can pass

mervue players had to raise the cash themselves for the trip through fundraisers etc.
Full Time:
Glenavon 0-2 Galway Utd. Shane Keogh got the second
€10 for a student was a bit hard for a pre-season friendly.
Sporting F*ck All!
Of course they did, every single penny. And the players don't get any money at all over the season either.Originally Posted by Terry

Nice to see players willing to play for free and even willing to pay to go on training camp abroad. Being from cork and living in Galway I go to watch the 3 Galway sides in action from time to time. Great to hear Derek o brien signed for cork after hearing he was training with mervue. Question for Galway fans? Is there many players playing with salthill and mervue that would be good enough to play with Galway and how come 3/4 players have signed back to salthill or mervue for this season?
We're playing Rovers at Tallaght Stadium tomorrow (Friday). Kick - off is 8.00
Bohs come to Turners Cross tonight at 7.45 - should be a good game in fairness. We will have pretty much our starting XI starting I'd imagine, though Derek O'Brien is suspended for the Wexford game.
I'd fancy our chances at a win tonight, Bohs haven't had much time together and we've had a fairly settled team in pre season
"Captain" Greg comes into midfield for Shane Duggan who has a hip injury
There was a couple of players I saw last season who would be able to make the step up to Premier Division, Daryl Horgan (Devon) being the obvious one, but he has signed for Sligo Rovers who were able to offer more money than United. I know approaches were made to a couple of other players from those clubs, and have been told by someone at one of those clubs that they were able to offer expenses above the age being offered by United, who have a budget of less than €2k a week. A squad of 18 on that budget is just over €100 per player per week, not the most attractive offer in the world, and also doesn't require a lot of money in terms of expenses to surpass that. In fairness, there is also the issue of facilities, with Devon having a cracking set-up in Drom, and Mervue as good as owning the City Council pitch that is Fahy's Field. Pity Derek O'Brien was not considered worthy by Sean Connor, delighted to see him at a club like Cork

I love it when the pre-season thread appears because it means football's just around the corner...but I can't wait to get shot of it in just 7 days when the real thing begins.

I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Whats the story with Liam Burns *SPITS* is he injured Stu ??
