    town sign new keeper

    I have just heard from an extremely reliable source ex athlone town ,waterford utd and cobh ramblers goalkeeper anthony fennelly has signed for us.I m not sure as of yet whether he is registered in time but its fantastic news. This lad played against us for Waterford Utd in the fai cup semi in 2000/01 and is highly experinenced.
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    The makes me think you're probably joking but he is utterly, utterly crap and probably weighs as much as two Alan Goughs.
    The ball is round and has many surprises.

    It's great to see the club has now got a SOCCER keeper with experiance ! Who gives a damn if he is 20 stone as long as he can save a few shots and that the gaffer can do his job on the line !!!!! Although it is not good that it was let go this far into the season without cover in goals !

    He's also ex-Limerick, Dundalk and Monaghan. And I think Kilkenny.

    The bigger the better, less room to get the ball into the net.

    We'd have been better off bringing Jacko out of retirement

    He got the man of the match award against us in the 2 all draw in the cup for Athlone a couple of seasons ago and dropped the award after collecting it... there is a reason he didnt get a club this year

    shotstoppin isnt all it takes to be a keeper theres so much more.. I think the comments from his previous clubs fans on the transfer forum says it all.. Just wonderin how many more athlone rejects will we sign in the transfer.. Kildare will be strong come june with the new manager able to make signings so if we havent pulled away from them by then i would really fear for us

    out of shape! Marty come hither! One save last friday and inept attacking with the other save does not make an okay keeper. He doesn't want to be there. when he came out against kilduff and kilduff beat him to the ball he jogged back to goal from the edge of the box. no effort made whatsoever, not even for his first game with the club. no mans land for their first goal. another prob is no sub - no competition for a place!

    i heard that fennelly is still living down in cork so I dont know how it will work with training. From what I gather I think its a short term signing until we get someelse better.

    This is starting to sound more and more like a non-league set-up every day !!! Actually you wouldn't even see it there ! Sign a keeper, get rid of him. Manager go in goal for a while and sign another keeper but only short term until a better one comes along AND have no sub keeper ! No wonder I have to listen to so many children slagging me about Longford Town !!!!!
