we are going up
Hopefully a couple of the players who arent interested follow don't have to name them they know who they are, its desperate times its hard to know where to go from here. Kildare will be confident of catching us and unless we can turn things around they heve every right to think that
Another victim of the Mons curse.
What was the Longford supporters' view on Gough? Was always going to be a difficult job to take on

Damnit!
Actually now that I think of it, any word on Coffey going, or might he become caretaker manager!?

Celebrating 130 Years of Athlone Town Football Club - Pride of the Midlands Since 1887
was always going to be a difficult job,especially without the full backing of the board...
It's hard to know where to go from here. Gough wasn't getting the best out of the players obviously and our disciplinary record is appalling which is always a bad sign of the spirit in the team. He apparently wasn't always there for training etc either which didn't help relations with the committee. The budget is low but it wasn't impossible to find decent players on it. Athlone's is lower for starters as is Mervue's, Wexford's etc. We'll see who comes in but they need to get the players together and all pulling their weight.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
What are we going to do about a keeper as well? Do we have back-up?

What I heard about Coffey is that he didnt resign with gough.. whether the committee want him around is another thing. I heard this at one today in the shopping centre. I am so relieved he has departed. Spirit was at its lowest.The discipline has being shocking to say the least. What I said on this forum a few weeks ago has being vindicated. I had a feeling friday night that something was going to happen. I even said it to Magicme friday night after the match.
Two interesting and not so interesting names have thrown their hats into the ring. Mickey O'Connor who has touted himself for the harps job and Roddy Collins. I wont disclose my source but he is a prominent poster on this forum..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
We already have a goalkeeper in. Fennelly. I take it ya still thaught Gough was in goal?
And ta think I thaught he was going to be the new Stephen Kenny

Anyone who doesnt have a job at the moment is gonna get a mention so I wouldn't read anything into this.
Things are bad enough up there without appointing Roddy Collins!!!!!!!!!!!
I knew Fennelley had joined us, but wondered if Fennelley had back up?We already have a goalkeeper in. Fennelly. I take it ya still thaught Gough was in goal?

Had a feeling this might happen.
Roddy Collins, the biggest <insert as appropiate> in Irish Football.
I got a text Sunday morning regarding this & the only way I can sum it up is,
When I got a text stating Matthews had left I was bitterly disapointed & it went on & on in my head for ages afterwards.
When I got a text that Gough had left I turned over & went back to sleep & slept soundly. I may as well have drank a glass of warm milk.
Alan Matthews is not a glass of warm milk,
Alan Gough = Lukewarm dairy produce.
I just sit down at the typewriter & start hittin the keys, just hittin the keys. Getting them in the right order though thats the trick, thats the trick.

It is going to be another long season no matter who gets the job. Kildare will be improving as the season goes on and they get some more players in.

great comparison there salmon coloured. I texted a lot of people but there wasnt as many people that texted back compared to two years ago when matthews quit..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
see that gough had his whinge at the club in the sun today. he should look at brendan place at the job he has done at athlone with a much lesser budget. I m afraid that he was pampered for too long and didnt really spend that much time in the first division as a player except when he was player at galway utd a few yrs ago. heard from a reliable source that coffey will be caretaker manager

The real thing to worry about is that I hear from people in the game I have been talking to that Kildare will have a little bit of money to spend in the summer and some ok players to sign where as Longford Town have NO money and NO players WANT to play for them anymore !!!! So it realy looks like Kildare will have their tails up and will push on, can LTFC do likewise and battle to the end or get left behind ????
