QuoteBest bit of business we ever did. Tempered slightly by giving UCD €10k for Robbie Martin, but then he did get us into another FAI Cup final so he would probably have paid for himself with that goal.

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Golly he was crap...

We better have a good few add on clauses in this don deal if it happens or we're getting shafted imo
If he had another year on his deal I'd agree but he's out of contract in November as far as I know at which point we'd get a minimal development fee if he went to England or nothing if he stayed in Ireland.
Rumour on the site above is that they won't be signing him.

what is the minumal development fee amount longfordian . sorry if I asked the same question before but I dont remember the answer. you were dead right on Shane Barrett he was never the same player after he left us so it was brilliant decisionmaking from the club board at that time!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Wouldn't go quite as far as that far Marty; Barrett put in some incredible performances for them after he joined initially - I remember him being a cut above any player on the park against IK Start in Europe and he hit a hat trick against Derry. A couple of fairly serious knee injuries curtailed his career badly when he may well have gone back to England. In hindsight we did well with the transfer fee, but I doubt anyone really saw his stark demise coming.

I can't remember exactly Marty but I actually think we'd only get something very small if he moves abroad and nothing if he stays in Ireland as we've only had him as our player for this season and whilst he's under 23 you have to have had him on pro forms for two seasons to be entitled to anything if a LOI club signed him.
Barrett was always injury prone that was his main problem all his career.

That type of money it was a no brainer, regardless of how he went on to perform. Am I recalling correctly that we had a bit of trouble getting them to cough up, or was that for someone else?

"no brainer" is much more apt than "brilliant decision making"

No brainer sums it up and was the club's thinking at the time too. No, Drogs paid up straight away, or rather one of their directors did, he paid it out of his own money. Shels took an age to pay us for Dillon, Ollie was doing his usual ducking and diving and roaring and shouting. It was only when he unfortunately got ill that the new chairman settled up.

Any news as regards Don yet? Has he returned or is he still over there and whats the verdict etc
Southwark News Today
Lions unlikely to purse Cowan interest:
The News understands Cowan returned to Ireland on Tuesday night.

Now someone tie him up and force him to sign a new contract
Town have signed Jamie O'Brien from Pats, formerly of Bradford and Birmingham. Bit of info on him from the Pats site:

Must be half decent if he made 26 apperances in the football league and could have stayed another year.

As confirmed by a member of our own backroom staff to me I can confirm exclusively that we have signed Darragh Satelle from Shamrock Rovers reserves

.
Oho.
Sporting F*ck All!
is he any good and what position?
Forward or midfielder it seems. Formerly of Hull, Celtic & Crumlin. You'd know that if you were checking the Town Facebook. Don't know if he's any use or not but time will tell.
