No offense to cork but thats a massive clime down for smith. He was tipped to be rangers first choice by year end before they imploded. I always felt his nationality would prevent him being a success there tough. His then signing was more PR me thinks

Sully is very much on top of the signings here, but for the benefit of those outside the fold the somewhat patchy looking list as it stands does not include 'keeper Matt Connor, wide man Ross Fitzpatrick and forwards Mikie Rowe, Daryl Power and Ethan Boyle. All five were dual U19/Senior players last season and will be again this year.
more bass
I have based the squad list on the players announced by the club. The only three U19 players I've heard of been signed so far are Aaron O Connor, Shane Mackey and Ross Fitzpatrick. I'm expecting the club to announce several U19 players to join the first squad for the forthcoming season a long with a couple of other players.
Where's Kevin Burns, Conor Coad, Gavin O'Donovan, John Frost, Andrew O'Connor, Kevin, O'Connor, Glen Hawe, Mark Walsh and Vinny Sullivan? Hawe and Walsh are the only ones who have featured in pre-season so I presume the rest are gone?
Kevin Burns is gone to America afaik. I think Conor Coad, Andrew O'Connor and Gavin O'Donovan have gone back to junior football. Glen Hawe, Greg Peel and Willie Jon Kiely have been playing with the Blues in preseason but the club are yet to announce whether they are signing or not. Mark Walsh has played a game with the Blues in preseason but I've heard he has another offer on the table. As for Kevin O Connor heard he's been training with Hull and had couple offers from Premier LOI sides (Expected to lose him before last season ended). And John Frost and Vinny Sullivan are now coaches with the Blues.

Agree Keating is a good signing/return, I was hoping Galway would have tried to get him.

Not much chance for him to get into the Rovers team with Nielsen, Corcoran and probably Raff ahead of him. Im sure he'll get his chance with us sooner or later. Hopefully he gets a load of goals for Harps, it can only be good for us in the long run. Apparently the loan is only till the summer. Don't know about Donelon. Seen him a few times and wasn't convinced.
Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?

Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
