There's a decent player in there somewhere.

He blew very hot and cold. Scored a couple of screamers - especially a brilliant strike away to, er, Longford I think - but drifts in and out of games, as he himself wittily admitted on twitter a few times.

I'm sure we'd never even heard of him before that. In fairness Nkololo apparently got a bad injury in training recently so we were a winger light. Should provide good service for Davy. He was always an annoying little so and so but at least now he's "our" annoying little so and so.

In fairness to Roddy we offered O'Brien a 99 cone if he signed for us. No way would any team in the league be able to match that.

**Mr A** · 11/07/2013, 5:04 PM

If Athlone believe this they should start offering big money to crap players just to screw Longford over. We have plenty of candidates for ye.. any reasonable offer accepted.

**Town Legend** · 11/07/2013, 5:07 PM

Exactly, cos we don't know who any of these players are. Cousins even admitted it himself, he seen a 5 min on youtube but apart from that he never seem him play. We're just signing them cos we heard Athlone were interested.

Heard that alright, apparently Tony only realised when he met him today that he's the same Derek O'Brien that played for him at Galway. Said he didn't realise he was even still playing football until Roddy mentioned him.

Merville in Sligo? If that's Ross McLoughlin that played with Rovers his last club was City United not Merville. Great player.

Yeah, used to play for Sligo alright.
I was sure he said Merville??
Looks a good player alright, making his debut for the USL side today against Letterkenny Rovers in Finn Park at 2.

He used to play for Merville alright but won the league with City United last May. One of the best players in Sligo/Leitrim league and should be decent in the FD. Scored a great goal on his debut away to Bray in final game of 2007. He's a nephew of ex-Rovers/Harps Harry McLoughlin too.

Pats have signed keeper Rene Gilmartin. He was released by Plymouth in June

**Charlie Darwin** · 18/07/2013, 10:58 AM

That sounds like a good signing. He's played at a good level in England and obviously has talent, though his failure to develop is probably mainly down to a lack of football and I don't know if he'll get it ahead of Clarke.
