    Robinson is a right sided player, isn't he? That's a position that we've been weak in for years. IMO, one needs to be a natural to play on the wing. He would be a very good signing.

    If this is true, things really do seem to be heading in the right direction. There's one more thing we'd need though - a midfielder.
    I suspect we might see Georgino play there next season.

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    I think Doyler would be strong enough to fight it out tbh. Any further news on Robinson tho?

    Robinson is a good player and would be a handy purchase but I'd be concentrating on getting two top central midfielders first.

    my point is that robinson plays on the right side of midfield, so where does that leave doyler! Can't play both of them there

    Why not? I tried it in championship manager once and it works! Had two left midfielders and no right midfielders. Scored loads of goals

    Doyle has doen very well on the right this season, but let's be honest, whether he or Robinson (should a deal go through) starts on the right the competition can only be good for the club.

    Surprised yiz didn't move in for Crawford, Stewey Byrne or Morgan of Shels all 3 are out of contract.

    i think it comes down to geographical notion as he i think is from waterford and it would be easier to approach him as he wouldnt be far from home cos its harder to get dublin players to come out of dublin cos they will obviously hold out for other local team of which there are plenty

    any one of them would be a decent siging IMO. But as was said, getting players to leave the Pale isn't easy.

    Rovers couldn't afford to turn down 10pence(old oirish money).
    If it says we've bidded 10k in the daily scum,then it's total bullsh!t.

    Rovers are holding out until after weekend. Their hopes are resting on Noel Hunt making an appearance for Dunfermline - his 20th, which would earn Rovers £20,000stg

    Until then, all offers are off.
