Keegan for town...

**Xlex** · 23/01/2004, 1:58 PM

just one to play alongside Pip. Our best signing for years!!

yur absolutely right... And if Bary and Mc Govern keep the ball on the deck then we'd be creative....

vinny is mid field, but if barry stops trying to score points in pearce park i'd be a lot happier

**longfordjk** · 23/01/2004, 2:08 PM

Vinny has served us well, but time for sentiment is gone - we need a young-ish attacking midfielder to score GOALS!!!

If you look at several other threads you'll see that Pip is rated by most on here...

See here

we don't have a holding mid field player, vinny and tackle and do the simple things, pip is pushed off the ball too easily, but i do agree he was a good signing,

any sign of sheridan do be brought around the back of the stand and shot ???? hasbeen tried but he missed ( what a surprise there )

He's a stiker isn't he? We could do some more options up-front. Where'd you hear this?

**Xlex** · 23/01/2004, 2:48 PM

round town I hear... I certainly hope it happens.... he needs experiance...

**Schumi** · 23/01/2004, 2:49 PM

Is he any good?

**Xlex** · 23/01/2004, 2:54 PM

an excellent prospect... and a season or two'sexperiance would have him ready for the town cause....

Only hope it happens if it's on loan. We'll never see him again if he leaves, despite his connections to the club.

Nice one, we're really short up front as it stands.

the way I look at it is. He needs experiance, experiance we aren't likely to grant him. Now wheither or not he goes to the 1st division on loan is, IMO, largely irrelevent, what matters is that he doesn't leave the club feeling rejected or feeling aggrieved. If he understands the motives then we have to trust that he will answers Longford's call once again...

Gary maybe the same because the nature of it is that the pressure to always add to the points on the board and you have to send out your strongest 11 to do this. With the addition of Keego and Baker, in Adrians case, and the addition of a midfielder, we can hope, these Lads get squeesed further down the pecking order. Gary Cassin was in the same boat. In three years time we could have four local players in the side and this would be a blessing... in another three maybe more...

On Gary Cassin, If he is such the prospect we've been hearing about, two seasons in the first division may have granted him the experiance to fill diggers boots next year if his proposed retirement is carried out. But he's unlikely to do this because he's being sitting on the bench collecting horrible money....

Where is or was the clarification on this deal?
The crowd on the Bohs message board dont seem to be aware of him moving...

Yeh, what's the story with Keegan, I know he's in talks with the club,but there has been no announcement yet..He is an admirer of the club so if a good deal would be sorted out I'd say he'd snap it up or is Matthews stalling seeing that Alan Murphy is back home after his trip to Aberdeen..A Rovers fan was telling me that Liam Kelly had gone back to them,thank god for that..He was a good player years ago with Shels & Pat's but I'm afraid he's not up to it now...

**RockofGibraltar** · 24/01/2004, 11:06 PM

My friend is mates with young adrian murphy and to put it bluntly he said that he doesnt give a fu*k that he is not playin a lot of games for the seniors...he is just happy to be involved!.So i dont know what ye lads are talkin about, about him leavin the club feeling rejected or aggrieved cos thats not the story at all

On half money he wasn't bad, and I thought he did okay when called upon.

well, thank God for that... but in essence all I said was that I'd hope he doesn't feel f�cked about.... And it also doesn't say too much about the guy if he feels just happy to be involved. I think he should have played lots more games this season then he actually did...
