forgot all about Evan Connolly being a brother.. think Evan was with us in the 08 season.. I dont have the stats book as its in Longford but I have a feeling that Evan never made a 1st team appearance for us.. I could be wrong though!

**Longfordian** · 29/07/2013, 9:08 PM

Thought he got a run once or twice but I'm not sure. Might have been just friendlies or something. Wiki suggests Ryan Connolly is a left winger, didn't we just sign one of those? He may be able to play in the centre too I guess.

just looked up a piece on extratime on evan connolly.. he made 10 appearances for us in 08 before goin to UCD!

Another winger...fantastic..

**Darklordsbane** · 29/07/2013, 10:23 PM

He can't be any worse than the wingers that are playing at the moment

**outspoken** · 29/07/2013, 10:55 PM

I take it this means Purdy still won't get a look in? This lad would want to be good, how old is he?

**Longfordian** · 29/07/2013, 11:21 PM

21 or 22 I think.

**L.T.F.C.** · 30/07/2013, 12:09 AM

I hope he is better than his brother...

**howsyourtouch** · 30/07/2013, 2:20 AM

his brother had the ability to be a good player,just a stupid ****er!he was playin under age with us,then under 21,from that he got a full scholarship to ucd after he went back and did his leaving cert(while still playing with us), then while on a full scholarship started to act the maggot up in ucd,doing no college work,failing his exams or just not doing them and then got thrown of his scholarship!think he went to one of the galway teams after that!if he had a head on his shoulders he would be a good loi player,hopefully his brother got a good taste for professional football,has a head on his shoulders and something to prove to get back to playing in england!ryan played a good bit of under age internationals as well!

Sligo Rovers have confirmed its a loan deal.

**Longfordian** · 30/07/2013, 3:36 PM

Well I think he's out of contract at the end of the year so it doesn't really matter. It's quicker to register a loan deal though I think, it used to be anyway. Suppose Sligo may be paying some of his wages too I guess.

I'm not sure what he'll be like in the First Division, but he's nowhere near the standard of a top Premier side.

I really hope he does well with ye and plays a big part in your promotion, but I'm glad of his departure as it may free up space to bring in someone a little more up to the task.

Just don't expect him to run with the ball.

@Josh_McClorey: Just letting everyone know, I've signed a non-contract deal with Longford Town FC.

Is this a p1ss take or what? He's a guitarist for some band called the Strypes he has over 3000 followers on twitter but no mention of him online ever playing football. Not like the last band member we signed was a world beater. If this is true its the most ridiculous thing Ive ever heard!
