Oh I know who Bridge signed
Pa McMahon
James Harty
Jake Dunlea
Jack Carrig
Declan O Mara
Gavin Whyte
All decent young players
Ya some good players there.where declan o mara sign from ???. Only problem is will they turn up every week . Isn't that why most of them shannon lads weren't playing regularly for hibs and town.. great signings if committed but worrying for locals with so many outsiders coming in. Are they all signed up to A team??
Not my job to pick Bridge A team so I'll leave that to the powers that be, bar Declan o Mara, who signed from Summerville, all are u19. There are no 'Outsiders' at Bridge Utd.
Your address is irrelevant
decent young players on their day maybe but have to question there commitment
harty could not train or turn up for matches with hibs and he has not made to many training sessions with the bridge so far , mc mahon quit Shannon town and made a comeback with the bridge / jack carraig the same / dunlea was struggling to get onto a terrible hibs cant see the bridge lads putting up with the same carry on out there ,,

That's what I was thinking old git if they couldn't bother training with "their clubs " what would make them change and travel to bridge for training. Bridge utd have been making great strides hopefully this wont upset too many lads. Bridge have always been close knit community team made up of locals.
good to see any club growing and attracting players but some of the players mentioned here would not fall into that better player statement. plus the bridge teams were always based on homegrown local lads willing to give their all for their team with the odd outsider and some smashing teams over the years

It's not as if all the aforementioned players are the core of the A team, I'm sure management will pick and choose accordingly as they see fit, but it's great to have these choices to make.
agree with old git, bridge teams have always been mainly local lads, which is a priceless thing to have and something that is largely underestimated and ignored..... gavin whyte good young local lad but the rest of them are poisonous signings...... what is it with this generation of shannon lads that cannot commit to one club for any period of time at all...... this is exactly why shannon teams are struggling because of idiots who jump from club to club, constantly on the move. cant see this being a positive thing for bridge, 1/2 outsiders, ok but 5 is way too many. especially when these lads couldnt spell loyalty

Its all about how well you know the manager in shannon for whatever club, doesn't matter about quality or how good you are..... Ive heard from one or two of these so called 'poisonous signings' that Snn town was really boring training and no craic between the squad. Least the Bridge have a good management team that are doing things right and play ball the right way IMO.
Crazy comment as you shuffleruns played with A team and jack carrig played with B team so two player's different at different sessions. Plus isn't ger kelly training town and he is oscar traynor coach too can't be that boring since they are in all ireland semi..and from reading earlier posts they are still getting good numbers so maybe you just didn't fit in there. At the end of the day talisman is dead right none of them players mentioned will give any loyalty or commitment.but all good players if They did. Pa mcmahon left cause he wasn't starting james harty has swapped clubs 3 times now in 12 months same with o mara jack dunlea and jack carrig are" gaa first" men. So gavin is probably the only good signing out of the 5
Adding numbers is one thing but adding quality is a whole different story.
Having a wave of blowins coming into a local club has it's own issues but having a wave of pre-madonnas is asking for trouble. Maybe one of the jumping jacks, imo, is worth the risk but he really needs a kick up the arse before he finds himself looking back and regretting. Maybe the idle promises might bare fruit, time will tell.
Anyway it looks like another weekend of no fixtures as the forecast isn't great again. Big squads might be the answer with the way the season is progressing.
