Connor wanted him bigtime last year for us and had him doing training for a week and then he couldnt give hima contract cause he signed Georgie boy instead!

Heard last night that were meant to be signing Greg O Halloran and Davin O Neill within the next day or two and also re-signing Graham Cummins (Who hasn't actually signed for Fingal apparently).

Find it a bit difficult to believe it myself as I'm pretty sure Cummins is gone but heard the rumor so i'll throw it up.

If it turns out to be true get down to your local bookies and stick your house on us getting promotion next season ha

Greg O' Halloran and Davin O'Neill would be excellent signings. It would be great if Cummins was to re - sign too.

From talking to him towards end of last season

He was back training with us today, still doesn't mean though he will be staying on for sure, but its a start

As posted in the Cork City thread... Shane Robinson has been spotted in Cork.

Roumour is David Tyrell is on his way to Bray. Was with us a few years ago and Rovers signed him, went to Harps and another club who i can't remember.

On the coaching side of thinngs Paul Osam is gone from the club, i wouldn't be surprised to see Keith Long coming back in.

Is that the left winger? Think he was with Athlone last season for a while.

i knew it was a first division club and Athlone rings a bell so i think you could be right.

**Mr A** · 20/01/2010, 10:06 AM

It's correct, Athlone last year, dunno why I thought he was at Fingal.

Not exactly the hardest working player in the world but capable of the odd good moment.

We orignally took him on loan from Shels and he was a massive hit with us, he was only starting his LOI career at the time and was out to make an impression. I remember him scoring 2 absolutely wonderful free kicks against Bohs towards the end of that season.

We then signed him permanent basis and didn't quite reproduce the same form but as you say still showed glimpses of real quality. Very nice bloke as well so looking forward to seeing him back at the club.

Just heard Franco Gorgescu is also training with us at the moment.
