    2008 squad

    Where are they now? Is there anyone we're likely to pick up?

    Looks like -

    Matt Gregg - Bohs
    Billy Brennan - staying
    Alan Mahon - retired
    Ian Bermingham - Rovers
    Conor Kenna - Drogheda? Though it was confirmed, though it's not on the main transfers thread
    Alan McNally - Drogheda
    Evan McMillan - staying
    Brian Shortall - ?
    Ronan Finn - staying
    Brian King - still at Stockport? Going to Drogheda?
    Pat McWalter - Wicklow GAA
    Shane McFaul - Sporting Fingal
    Shane Fitzgerald - free agent
    Shane Duggan - Cork
    Timmy Purcell - free agent; trial at Galway
    Darren Meenan - Shels

    Presume I've missed one or two.

    To the best of my knowledge, but part of the point of the thread was to confirm that.

    I think they're all right, but that's based on memory of what I've read here.

Makes you wonder (a) if he'd come back if we get promoted and (b) if a regionalised First Division, merged with the teams in or looking to join the A League, would make for a stronger league overall.

    It is indeed, so far as I'm aware. Would be u19 this season? I can only assume it's the same guy...

    Matt Gregg - Bohs - didn't play. I haven't see the subs bench; I presume he was there though.
    Ian Bermingham - Rovers - played whole match v Bray.
    Conor Kenna - Drogheda - played whole match v Derry.
    Alan McNally - Drogheda - played whole match v Derry.

    I haven't seen teams yet for Cork, Shels or Fingal, so I don't know about Duggan, Meenan or McFaul, though Paul Byrne scored for Fingal and Quigley was in nets.

    Meenan is suspended for first two games. Doyle came of the bench for Shels. Paul Byrne is with Bray now. McFaul came on in 90th minute.

    Which P Byrne scored for Fingal so? Or did he move during the week?

    Yep, mea culpa. Batman now plays for Phoenix.

    Edit - and of course, Byrne and Hughes are completely different names.

    Shane Fitzgerald has signed for us AFAIK. He was at the match last night with all his GUFC gear. Is he a decent winger? Heard good things about him.

    Very, very fast. He tends to run into blind alleys though. If he gets a decent bit of space, he can be dangerous. You might remember him destroying Jeff Kenna down the wing for our first goal against you guys in Terryland last year.

    I think Ian Foster does remember.

    I agree with Schumi - he has pace to burn, but his delivery is poor. He'll definitely be of some use, but if he starts scoring or improves his crossing, he'll be a very good player.
