I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
"They dont exactly have much chants"
You don't exactly have much grammar![]()
A load of gypsies to go with that aswell
philly hughes, philly gorman, chris bennion, darren kelly and dean lawerence all close to signing for athlone
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
thats a good signing if it comes off for ye Chris Bennion.. I know Philly Hughes still has good pedigree goin by his last few goals for Kildare Co against us last seaon..I assume Dean Lawrence was still at Shamrock Rovers last season..I assume Darren Kelly is Kildare co version and who was Philly Gorman playin for last season?
I assume ye are happy to have Place for next season?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
not everyone is happy buy the majority think its better to give him another go
no pint startin all over again
dean lawerence was with kildare as far as i know
darren kelly kildare keeper yes
gorman was with kildare and was in chad with the army last few months afaik
he was offered contract by shels but rejected as he doesnt think he will get starting place
So Athlone have signed/are signing 5 Kildare county players?![]()
Bennion is a good signing for them.
Just "CHAMPIONS" "HERE WE GO THREE IN A ROW" to chant soAs far as I know the transfer window does not open until 1st December so nobody has signed for anybody. There have been offers made to players and quite possibly terms agreed but nobody has actually signed contracts (excluding of course those currently under contract).
Hughes, if you can keep him off the booze and takeaways he will definitely score goals
Gorman, will score goals too, technically a very good (underrated) player also, will need to get fitness sorted after a year out of LOI
Bennion, great shot stopper but if you have a heart condition don't watch his kick outs
Lawrence, looked a great prospect at Shamrock Rovers before he was frozen out at Shelbourne, he deserved to be playing in a better side than that shocking Kildare team last season
I know nothing about Kelly, the other four are the type of signings needed to help you push up the table but you will need more than them because you looked a very poor side last season
The Leinster Senior League needs a strong Bohemians
Its in The Mirror that Derek Foran of Bray is on trail with Hibs
SLIGO ROVERS star Raffael Cretaro is to leave the Showgrounds and join Shamrock Rovers, with former Ireland U21 cap Pádraig Amond moving in the opposite direction.
Cretaro, 28, was one of the key strikers in the league last season, scoring 15 league goals for Sligo and he also helped them reach the FAI Cup final, and that form in front of goal -- only Gary Twigg and Jason Byrne scored more goals -- has attracted interest from other clubs.
Bohemians had made an effort to sign the Tubbercurry man but now it seems that Rovers boss Michael O'Neill has won the race to sign Cretaro.
Rovers will have a new-look squad next season as midfielder James Chambers has already signed from Drogheda United, Simon Madden, Darragh Maguire, Shane Robinson and Corey Tracey have been released, while keeper Barry Murphy is expected to officially sign for Bohemians tomorrow.
COMPETING
Sligo, who are set to lose defender Joe Kendrick to Finnish club FC Haka, are planning for next season and are expected to bring in striker Amond from Rovers, while they were also competing to sign Joseph Ndo from Bohemians, though Ndo is expected to either stay at Bohs or move to Sporting Fingal.
Meanwhile, keeper Shane Redmond says that his run of form with the Irish U21 side has helped him get ready for the demands of club football with League Two side Burton Albion.
Dubliner Redmond joined Burton on loan from Nottingham Forest in the summer but he made only his third appearance of the season on Saturday as Albion lost 1-0 to Gillingham in the FA Cup.
"Being able to go away with Ireland has done me good," said Redmond, who won his 15th cap at U21 level in the 4-1 defeat to Armenia in the European Championship qualifiers two weeks ago.
"Thankfully I have kept me place in their team and been the number one. I have played all the games in the qualifiers and it has done me the world of good.
"I have also been playing in the Albion reserve games and that has helped keep my confidence up," he said.
"It has been a tough wait for me. It was good to get back in on Saturday and show everyone what I can do."
