twas fridays evening herald.and i quote:

former arsenal player brian mcgovern is still in limbo after a move to newry city fell through.
defender mcgovern (24) has not played for longford town in five months and did'nt even make the squad for their fai cup final win over waterford utd.
he was heavily critisised by manager alan matthews and then dropped after a
2-1 defeat in july and mcgovern made just one more appearance for the midlanders.
a move to spl side inverness collapsed when longford demanded a fee and this week a planned move across the border to newry also failed to materialise.
"i d'ont know whats going to happen" says mcgovern who made one premiership appearance under arsene wenger in his four seasons at arsenal.

"longford have said i'm part of their plans for next season-i have a year left on my contract-but they have'nt played me since the summer and i was'nt involved for the cup final,so its a confusing situation".

shamrock rovers have also expressed an interest in mcgovern who played for arsenal,qpr,norwich and peterborough before coming home to irelans in 2003,joining town after a brief spell with st pats.

make of that what you will,maybe himself and alan have spoken about staying on ?

He's a good player so maybe it wouldnt be the worst thing to see him back, esp. after Garto leaving

**Longfordian** · 19/12/2004, 11:34 AM

They've spoken recently as far as i know but I don't know what came of it..We'll have to see what happens

**Longfordian** · 24/12/2004, 6:38 PM

Correct, Roddy is very interested, as is said below a swap with O'Brien may be on. Oh and by the way, who's going to have that special 800th post on this thread? A new foot.ie landmark!..
