Good to see Cobh doing a bit of business early on this year, was really hoping to see them push on last season after a good first year back but the club seemed to go backwards. Hopefully ye can make a
Good go of things next year.

The interesting thing on the 4 (F's) Dundalk have is, I dont see Kenny starting with any of these, also Byrne is used more in the MF area behind the striker, also young O'Connor is still on loan and scoring with Warrenpoint, not sure when that ends.

We still need a replacement for Hoban. Also it does look as if Towell did sign for 2015 (but not announced), I`m sure he will be running out of time come Jan to find a UK club, its possible thats a release clause he has.

This is one strong squad though, and it will give us the best chance ever perhaps of trying to retain the league title, a feat never done previously by the club, which shows how hard it is to to. (and only by 3 others clubs I think...............Bohs, Rovers, Shels)

Correction Bohs on one occasion retained the league
Never retained by Bohs but Pats and Cork Utd managed it as did Shels once and of course Rovers have done it on numerous occasions!

You must be one of the new Tallaght fans, Bohs have done it.

Pats have done it twice Oriel.

didn't Bohs just do it in the last few years?! Beating Rovers into second place? 2008 and 2009.

Nope, I think you're pulling my leg here. Bohs haven't won the title in donkey's years.

Bohs back to back title are not exactly in the dim distant past.Your new manager led us to a glorious double league victory im 2008 /2009.Selective amnesia?

Not to mention our back to back triumphs in the 1913 Lockout and the Great War, though that was am extended season.

Actually looked it up on Wiki and misread it...so stand corrected.

So to set the record straight Bohs once retained the league and of course Rovers have done it on numerous occasions.

Apologies, never realised Pats retained the league previously, see it now on wiki. 1950's and late 1990's. Fair play.

Cork athletic also retained it in 1951. It's interesting how rare it is for clubs to win leagues on the bounce. I was surprised to see that Shamrock Rovers have only retained it 4 times, closely followed by Cork United with 3 (it's unlikely they'll catch them). Also, Shels have never retained it.
