QuoteI'd take Hyland at this stage if he's interested. Had a bloody awful debut for Rovers, but improved from there. He's a better keeper now than he was with us in the past.
Keeper wise who is left available? Brush, Coulter, Hyland and Clarke. Anyone else that can be added to be Skinner's No. 2?

Think Coulter is still recovering from a serious injury and won't be in great shape for new season. Can't see Clarke stepping down to us, that leaves Hyland. Nice lad and did ok with us but wouldn't go paying him more money than Hunt for example. Maybe we should have kept him after all. Haha not so long ago I would have been mad to get rid of him. Funny game.Originally Posted by Town Legend
Think will have to go for Hyland. Devastated that we couldnt get Schlingermann!
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
Clarke re-signed for pats too. Hyland really is the only option and I don't think Wel even get him.
Only option within LOI maybe. There'll be other keepers out there if the money is right.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
Hyland will stay with Rovers. Fenlon likes him even though he had howler on TV, was doing well before that game.
bit surprised of no mention but theres a mention in the general forum that Dean Kelly has gone to Bray.Also strong possibility of Gary Shaw goin to Shamrock Rovers. Question I would like to ask is where is the replacements? I know Lee Duffy is a striker but who else is goin to come in as I dont think Gary will stay.It was on the cards that Dean was goin to Bray as heavily linked over the last few wks!

Graham lawlor joins Bohs as U-19 manager. I have a bad feeling the rest of our squad will be made up of youth players. Unless TC knows of at least 5 players been released from their clubs in England.
Cousins was lost until Lawlor came in the players loved him and the sessions he put on. Next season is going to be a disaster
There's a few decent LSL 'keepers who could step up.In fact I'd suggest that Shane Supple the ex Ipswich lad, currently number one at Crumlin is better than any current LOI keeper, and the guy he replaced Darren Meenan wasn't bad either, Morgan Cranley at Drums is decent as is a lad called Andy at Bluebell. There's also some very good young 'keepers around the LSL Intermediate divisions who could do ajob as a number two. It doesn't always have to be same old same old
Isn't that the lad whom fell out of love with the pro game and wanted to play GAA?
If he wanted to play LOI you'd suspect that he'd alright with be with an LOI club imo
correct !

Not even Christmas - is this a record for getting the negativity in early?
Lawlor there all last season too - so either he was brilliant, and just not listened too (in which case, what differemce if he's there or not), or his positive influence was way over stated.
If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.
Well at the start of the season TC used to be talking to GL during thr games as the season went on he didn't talk to him as much and from GL's body language he wasn't happy
from judgin on the outside we werent performin as well before Graham Lawlor. Everything went up a notch when GL came in. Its no conincidence that Athlone won the title with him and then with us. I think he will be a huge loss and will be hard to replace.

TC is very loyal to Gary Cronin but I don't know what the division of coaching duties was between him and Lawlor. Either way I'd say we'll need to get another coach in. Fabio O'Brien is purely a strength and conditioning coach by the sounds of things and is still playing up the North until the summer anyway so he won't be around for a lot of matches.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
didnt know that Fabio was still goin to play up north. thought he was retired? pity we didnt move for him as a player..

Yeah he said it to someone who asked on Twitter that he was still going to play on for whoever it is he plays for (I forget which team it is).

No reason behind lawlors departure other than him being a Bohs man and wanting to take on the challenge.
