Scottish, scored quite a few for us but has severe off the field problems, namely gambling according to quite alot. His name was connected with all the betting scandals surrounding us during the seaosn but there is no evidence to support that, thats just going by word of mouth on our forum.

He started off with a band but then just petered out and barely busted himself towards the last few games. He said he wants to stay with us but it remains to be seen if our board will have him back. I feel that he will come back to haunt us if he goes.

Really doubt its Connor, the man needs a big budget to work with and he doesnt come cheap himself. I fear for Galway if it is him.

Ah we needed someone to replace Fitzer... I really can't imagine Mahon would be signing people with off the field problems...

Like i said and would like to point this out before any bans are handed out, thats going by word on our forum. His form dipped dramatically towards the end of September and barely scored for us then. Attitude on field just seemed very off as if he didnt give a damn!

Yeah we had plenty of that last season as well... Mahon doesn't seem to take any crap from players though... So obviously he think's he'll preform if he's thinking of signing him...

I have been told that the manager and his team are all galway based people. With the club running on what is an amatuer budget, no major/shock names will be announced in any ranks this season.

French is the name I hear mentioned for the job, but then, in the past few days Connor has been mentioned but I would highly doubt that he would travel to Galway and back 3 (or more) times a week from Killybegs for pennies.

Do you think connors will work for a club whos budget is rumoured to be around €150 per week per player, for a squad of 20 players? Tom French will get it unfortunately, but, the only good thing will be that Barry Ryan should be his assistant, meaning that we at least have a good keeper again this season !
