Meh,
Reminds me of Nicklas Bendtner
No he's lanky and clumsy
Killian Gallagher was one, Podge was also a better left winger than him so he could have been moved out there and Byrne or Purcell could have slotted in upfront, which would have made the side stronger despite their lack of application. System could have been changed as well in necessary, could have played a diamond (which I admittedly am not a fan of) with a number of very good centre mids at the time and a serious dearth of any somewhat talented players on the wing (of which Doyle was the worst).
Nevertheless, he was clearly a favourite of Mahon's, not just him been picked as who he considered to be the best left winger, but in relation to the team (which can be seen in his re-signing of him) which is a scandalous judgement call considering he was our worst first team regular that season (2008).
Funny the way any time any player dares turn down an offer from Dundalk, their fans immediately qualify it by saying the player has turned them down for "more money at *"!

Oh and it's always the last minute too
It's also interesting that in 2008, when we were looking to get rid of players to bring new blood in, it was Doyle and Byrne whom Mahon gave the boot to, with lack of effort apparently a reason. Interesting that Pete's looking to get the two of them back.
Doyler was excellent for us in 2007 - scored eight goals before breaking his leg in September. Never really got his form back after that. Byrne got 5 goals in his first 76 minutes for us, but again, injuries hit rather hard, and there's always a feeling that he could be a much better player simply if he wanted to be.
its not confirmed by the club yet but I would expect it to happen. I spoke to the secretary and she said that noone has signed yet but Cousins is talking to players and news will come out in the coming days..
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Yawn.......sure Bohs are role models for all of us in terms of PRFunny the way any time any player dares turn down an offer from Dundalk, their fans immediately qualify it by saying the player has turned them down for "more money at *"!

Only another 9 titles till Drogheda become pride of county louth!!!
We tried a different spin before - but the "Kenny turns down Dundalk for less money at Derry" line just didn't work too well !!
chris turner seen in galway this morning apparently. Also, 2 new zealanders as well as players from england, scotland and northern ireland heading to galway for our first training session on saturday morning. A lot of last seasons players are also commiting themselves to next season with gufc again, with Alan Murphy and Derek O'Brien already confirmed.
Oh please, as if I made that up, Iv better things to be doing with my time...thats why I posted the bloody press release to show what OUR manager said about YOUR club.Funny the way any time any player dares turn down an offer from Dundalk, their fans immediately qualify it by saying the player has turned them down for "more money at *"!

it sure is dillonman, and as I said elsewhere, he has got a much bigger budget than first forecasted due to heavy investment in the club by a local businessman.
Jason Gavin gone from pats.
Big loss, any idea where to?
More importantly its a big earner off the books, There have been a few rumours that he is going to Oz and that Rovers are interested a few people saying he might just give up football altogether
Here on a technicality.
Some good news alright. Glad to hear its looking a little better for yous now and some new investment cant hurt.
I heard that Foster is an admirer of Gavin's so could be heading our way for all we know!
I thought I read a few weeks ago that Fingal were looking at Gavin
He's probably getting quite uncomfortable at this stage.
