Oh I know there was training on Wednesday, I was there.
Didn't see any of the lads mentioned. I didn't stay for the full session though so maybe they were all late arrivals.

The Polish trialist that played last night has signed until June apparently, Piotr Szcerbowski henceforth to be known, to me anyway, as the Big Szcerbowski or The (Polish) Dude. Formerly of Longford Celtic.

Athlone are looking to sign former Town players Liam Lynch and Ronan Frawley.

thats interestin with Liam Lynch he was too good for the Roscommon league with Ballinasloe town.. i saw on the general thread that ronan frawley is with willow park.. Its not that long ago since he had his first spell with Athlone... see that Daisy is the only ex town player from last season trainin with Athlone at the moment..

Here's the link to the local paper over in Athlone.

Don't do it Lynch!

**Frank76** · 27/01/2011, 12:38 PM

Lads what did ye make of Michael Foley when he was with ye. Apparently he's in talks with Kerley over joining us. I know he suffered a lot with injuries when he was with ye and Drogheda. Just wondering would he be another Davy Byrne for us and be lying on the treatment table the whole time or would he be worth taking the risk on?

**Longfordian** · 27/01/2011, 12:55 PM

Wouldn't take the chance, personally, if money is tight. Good enough player on his day but not good enough to justify signing him for the season given the amount of games he'd probably miss.

**outspoken** · 27/01/2011, 4:42 PM

I'd have to agree with longfordian I dont think he would be worth the risk he definitely has the ability ie good passer , decent set pieces etc but hes just to injury prone.

Just heard that the Polish guy has signed for us. Apparently Longford Celtic aren't too happy but that he was too good for them anyway. I'm sure the match on Sunday will reveal more, and Massop10 will tell all!

**howsyourtouch** · 29/01/2011, 1:00 AM

still cant put my finger on who he is, i have seen a good bit of area league over last few years and still cant think of anyone that stood out!so looking forward to seeing who it is!

saying that though i remember two seasons ago when they town were looking for a friendly and played the pick of the area league there wasn't a kick of a ball between the teams, and when ya think about it, it was the towns first team half way through a season and the area league team was thrown together the weekend before the match and the only trainin the players would have been doing would be a bit of astro turf during the week, not training, just a game between friends like! point being there is very good players playing area league in longford, like some of the players playing with the runaway leaders wander and many others!

not true at all. I am best friends with Longford Celtics manager and he is delighted he got the move. The way the transfer works is the CCFL get 30 euros from us and as courtesy longford celtic will get a few match balls from us..

What is not true about it? Did he sign for them? From what I hear, he was far too good for them. I can't imagine Longford Celtic being entirely happy with one of their better players being sold on?

with all due respect i would imagine they wouldnt begrudge a player bettering his career
