Corie Treacy and Daniel Purdy who were with us last year are apparently playing with Shamrock Rovers B this year. They seem to be signing a few established LOI players for their B team if reports are to be believed. Not quite sure why. Purdy has talent and could be worth a gamble for the future but Treacy won't be good enough to play in their first team from what I saw of him.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Derry have signed former Oldham centre-half Cliff Byrne.
Ou-est le Centre George Pompidou?
Hoping to tie up Tim Clancy this week. Also after Aaron Barry (Sheff Utd defender) and Lecsinel Jean-Francois (Former Sheff Utd defender) and also 1 other player
Good player.
Is he properly over that back injury that kept him out for over a year? Awful run of injuries.
Because they're arrogant fools who won't be happy unless they win both leagues and/or go bust again but this time two teams.
Boccer Bayly FFS.
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Ah here. Nothing about Rovers the past few years has even suggested we're heading down the bust road again. That is completely and utterly unfair and can only be based on caricature. You're better than that, Stu.
There's nothing to suggest from the last few months that Rovers have really learnt any lessons from their past if they are signing established or journeyman premier league players for their first division B Team, a team that cannot be promoted. It really does smack of Rovers arrogance. I know it'll likely be shouted down as Bohs bias, jealousy, whatever but this policy is worthy of debate/discussion. If nothing else, it's not taking full advantage of the benefits of a second team as a development team.
If I'm off the mark, I'm sorry and I'm sure I'll be set straight.

Remind me which established players have signed for Shamrock Rovers B, Stu? None? OK, thanks.
It shows how funny the Bayly signing is that some think its for the B team.
It isn't...

The Rovers fans I know told Roche and Co that the signing of Boccer was the last straw but were told he had been signed for the B team to protect the err young starlets that are going to form part of the glittering firmament that will be their First Division team. Presumably that on the basis of his alleged novel use of a tennis racquet and motorbike helmet (allegedly) rather than his playing experience?
All I know is that about 20 lads are doing pre-season with Rovers and Bayly's one of them. He might well play more in the first than the prem but he's been told he's a first team squad member
Or at least that was the plan until your mates approached the chairman

One less than glorious stint with Rovers' first team already under his belt hasn't he?
The ball is round and has many surprises.
Sean Russell has signed for Town from UCD tonight according to himself on Twitter.

Not much of a rebuttal. We'll see more at the end of the season, I suppose.

As far as i know Treacy signed for local LSL Bray side Shamrock Boys and has been playing with them the last 4/5 weeks.
Was Purdy your left winger against us in the play off?
Yeah he scored our two goals in the second leg. It was Willie Tyrell who said in an interview the other day that Treacy was with Rovers B, maybe he was training with them earlier in the off season or something.

Emeka Onwubike training with Athlone. Was with us back in 2009 and was absolute quality every time he played. He fell out with Brendan Place and was released then. Went to Celta Vigo B then went to the lower leagues in England for a couple of years. Scored in our 5-1 win over Drogheda Town last sunday.
Athlone Town AFC 1887-2017
Brendan place 🙈
