QuoteYeah he was very good for us for the half season he was with us, 2008 I think it was. Played mainly as a left winger.
Davoren would be a very good player in the FD. Better going forward than defending but overall a good player. His trouble is that the last 2 seasons he has been picking up injuries fairly regularly and apparently when fit he cant train for a couple of days when he plays a match.Originally Posted by Terry
In 2013: 14 starts and 4 subs appearances. In 2012: 12 starts and 2 sub appearances. Keep him fit and injury free and its a good signing for Galway.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!

Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
am glad that waster DOB is gone from us. He was a big disappointment and was consistent only in getting bookings!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Your best player by a mile in the second play off game i thought, game changed when he was taken off.
Faherty and Davoren good signings for Galway. Derek has always been a bit hit and miss and would be around the same level as the Mervue players signed so far. A squad of that standard would not be good enough so it is good to see a better quality of player coming in from premier division clubs (Davoren played in the cup final).
I'm very surprised Dav can't get a premier division team
Can only imagine it's either a fitness issue or else he doesn't want to move to Dublin/Cork. He's obviously talented enough to be a star for any Premier team.
Same as that. It's only a rumour. With Dunne not offering much money and the season being a while away yet, I'd be very surprised if a player of Davoren's quality, injury/fitness problems or not, settled for a contract in the FD and it not even the new year yet.
I would have thought we'd be interested in Davoren but Taylor seems to be happy with Robbie Williams and Colm Murphy for LB, Folan is also a LB so probably feels money could be spent better elsewhere. If Davoren isn't willing to move to Dublin then Cork, Galway and Limerick are about his only options and even at that he probably couldn't commute from Galway to Cork all the time.
He's from Offaly. Would be surprised if he wasn't willing to move to wherever gave him a decent offer. 2 seasons ago he was having trials with Hibs.
Fairly easy to commute to anywhere so meaning travel shouldn't be much of an issue.
Davoren is from Offaly ok, but he went to uni in Galway and I have seen him around town a few times in recent years. Limerick would be a good club for him (location wise) and there are two Galway lads there already, so they could share a car down to training etc. Still if Galway pay him a good wage and indicate that they are going to bring in another 4 or 5 decent LoI players he could well be happy to spend a season in the first division.
One lives in Limerick during the season the other is moving here next season as far as i know.
Athlone ser.
he doesn't live with Mam & Dad anymore though !
Apparently he has a good job lined up in Galway so it would be handy for him to play here whilst working here.
Thank God O'Brien is gone what a waster
It's like 2004 all over again.
Thank God O'Brien - from the same part of the world as Goodluck Johnathan?
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
what was he like in general with ye poster and how long was he with ye? wasnt he part of that sligo team that knocked out shels ten yrs ago in fai cup?
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Longford fans calling O'Brien a waster is hilarious. You train in Dublin for feck sake.... I highly doubt Cousins even demanded he trained with your squad. I watched your team in the playoff, it was populated by journeymen so I'm not really sure why you're singling out O'Brien. It doesn't look like Cousins will be changing that trend anytime soon either adding players like Peter Hynes (has more clubs than Tiger Woods) and Pat Flynn. If O'Brien signs for Galway FC he will certainly do a job, he lives locally and is well liked in Galway. He probably has another year in him at First Division level.
Also, asking Sligo fans about O'Brien is a bit of a pointless thing to do. They have a very strange dislike for him for some reason. It's a bit cringeworthy, to be honest.
