"Daryl Kavanagh and Ian Turner will be offered deals to play in Finland".

Just to bring it back off topic...

Ex-Bohs, Galway, Longford and Shels player Gary Deegan is now playing with Southend in L2.

He initially did well at Coventry before moving to Hibs under Fenlon.

Sean Dillon ex-Longford and Shels is now captain of Dundee United. Scored the winner last night.

Yeah Dillo's been captain for a couple of years now I think. A really nice guy and a good player. Deserves whatever success he gets.

was watchin that game last night. hes Dundee Utds longest serving player and has made nearly 300 appearances and has scored 5 goals for them! his winner last nite reminded me of his winner for us in FAI Cup semi in 04!

In an interview in this week’s Argus, Richie Towell has revealed he has turned down a number of moves to the UK in recent weeks and said he would be happy to remain at Oriel Park in 2015. “I got offered a couple of contracts over in England and Scotland but they weren’t the contracts that I wanted,” he said.

“I said from day one that I wasn’t going to go over and join a club that I didn’t want to be at. I wasn’t going to join a club on the terms that I didn’t want to be there on. The contracts that have been offered to me just didn’t suit me".

“With regard to the moves, I just didn’t fancy them at the time because of different situations but I’m actually just looking forward now to getting the ball back at my feet. We’ve worked hard the last two years that I’ve been here to aspire to things like the Champions League and I would be gutted if I missed it to be honest,” he said.

Surprised Quigley can't get a club. Should be able to pick up a lower Premier Division club easily. I'd imagine he's just being stubborn and looking for a full time option however.

Seen a drogs fan on Twitter saying there was an interview in some of the papers with Johnny Mc in which he basically said Quigley had priced himself out of a move.

Priced himself out of a move to Drogheda! They only pay expenses ye know...

Ya I'd imagine wages are the biggest factor and who is going to pay big wages to someone that hasn't been playing the best for the last few years.

Wot, with the fourth highest budget and all?

Tiarnan Mulvenna mutualled by Cliftonville.Wouldn't be surprised to see him returning to the LOI.

That sounds painful.

Mulvenna always seems to do a job at a LOI club but in a very quite fashion, would he be any addition to a team like longford as a bench player for those who have had him at their clubs before?

I think he is the type of player that is suited to coming off the bench where he can use his pace against tired defenders. His weakness probably his lack of physicality otherwise and be a bit aimless with his runs. He would be a grafter though and track back but he wouldnt be a top side premier level striker. He was a popular player at Dundalk obviously being a local lad but also he would really care about the club he is at. The likes of Shels he would be a good signing for as a 1st Division club who could be in the promotion mix. Griffen would be a good signing for Longford if ye could get the best out of him and he decided to rebuild his rep. Dont know where he is at though tbh.

Heard a second hand rumour, albeit from someone who is trustworthy, that we have a striker and a defender "of surprising quality" coming in from England. Since this thread lacks unsubstantiated rumours I said I'd throw it in. I presume they meant surprising in a good way but who knows if it'll actually happen.

Been hearing rumours of english based players all window and nothing yet to happen so I won't get too excited by this.
