Thinking of current conditions more than anything. Bad pitches make for mistakes and goals.predicting some high scoring matches there zizou, not much faith in the defences in the division but then again i suppose you wouldnt being a striker and all
The Beautiful Game
heard geraldines signed half the athlone team
With all due respect, what interest would they have in playing in Division 1A?

Who are the athlone lads signing for the dines?
don't know who they signed but i know a few of them trained wit dines during the season so maybe they liked what they saw
Jason Hughes, Dave Ryan, Paul Danaghar, Brian Collopy, Tommy Barrett and Gary Higgins are the players I can think of that where with Athlone at the end of the season so it could be one of them. They could also just be training with the Dines.
rumour has it that one of those players will be signing for hibs anyways lads dunno about dines......
There must be some incentives for him to be going from League of ireland to one A...Have Hibs been taken over by some Dubai Businessmen?
Geraldine's are signing all of the above Athlone players as Pat Fenlon has signed Christy O'Neill, Shane Madden, Thomas O'Grady, Ian Dore and Liam Lenihan for Hibs
Gary Higgins used to play out in Shannon so I'd hazard a guess its him.
bobby tier, jason travis, paul finnucane and david crowe have signed i was told..... league over!!
good that ateam in 1a can attarct these quality players, think finucane was there last year?
Hopefully league over anyways, depends how seriously these guys take it
Good guess outta you! higgins signing back to Hibs, dines signing some quality players. This will be interesting.
Well if ye get Higgins and Derek Byrne and geraldines get the other lads from athlone... They will win league by 10 PTS easy
Heard they are offering him a bottle of lucozade sport and 3 jaffa cakes before every match buddy
Jesus second you seem to know your way around shannon anyway,clearly your not a hibs man..which means your with a less successful club in shannoncome back to us when yer challenging to get into the premier
No I'm not with Shannon town either haven't played for a few years but I watch matches on Sundays now.. My point was if dines get 4-5 ex LOI lads they will walk the league .. Ye probably will still get second but in my opinion the gap will be massive..
Also on the point of ye being a successful club in Shannon .. Explain this please as I don't think ye have been in premier for a while have ye... And ye haven't gone up this year yet.. Alot of ball to be played ..
Mungret 2 - 2 Pike Rvs B
Interesting game played in Mungret this morning where we finished the game with only 9 men but instead of been pleased to get a point we are left disappointed not to have taken all 3.
Pike scored inside 60 seconds with a great finish from Mark Phelan (I think!) after some sloppy defending from us but can take nothing away from the finish. We equalised direct from the restart with an equally good finish from Brian Aherne. I wouldn't say there was 2 mins on the clock & we had 2 goals! The next 20 minutes were even enough until we had a man sent off (straight red) for a foul on the edge of our box. Pike went 2-1 5 mins later after again poor defending but a good finish from Phelan again. This seemed to waken us and for the remainder of the half (and prob the game) we dominated. Pa O Donoghue scored a great header just before HT. HT 2-2. We had a second man sent off inside the first 5 mins of the second half (I am biased but I thought it was v harsh). We showed unreal heart after that and missed a pen to win the game. Both teams tried to play football all day, best of luck to Pike B for the rest of the season.
a few results went in their favour today also without them even playing. but agree with you alot of ball still to be played but derek byrne & garry higgins would stiil be two very good additions to their squad.
