From the dwogs official site...
The Club has agreed a fee with Longford Town for the transfer of Andy Myler and Danny O'Connor. With the Club moving to a full-time squad, it was impossible for both players to combine the new training times with their job commitments. We wish them well with Longford - thanks for the memories boys !"

Nice one. So will the suggested press conference go ahead announcing new signings. (I know it wouldnt be for a while yet until all sigings confirmed)

Well everyone I've spoken to within the club so far is in favour of the press conference and it was Alan Mathews' idea so hopefully it will go ahead at some stage before the start of the season, one or two more signings probably on the way so hopefully when all's done and dusted they'll be in Longford for photos, interviews etc.
Went up to Saratoga, where my horse naturally won.
All together now.....
Athlone reject, Athlone reject....
Bloody delighted.... Welcome lads!

Andy Myler's red and black, he hates Doolo...and he does you know

Doesn't leave much place for someone in the side. I reckon Myler and Dessie will be the 1st choice front men.

Roll on March. Really hope a pairing between Dessie and Myler works to give drastic improvements in goals scored.

We needed a finisher and Myler has always been that as evidenced by his great goal against us in the last game of the season

2 Great Signings ! raging we missed out on Danny (best centre half in the league IMO), we just could'nt match what Longford were offeringOriginally Posted by Longfordian
Ah well, such is life. Not to sure about Myler though. He scores a few every season but a lot of them are penos are'nt they ? not an out and out scorer but still a half decent signing.
That's all relative, compared to Lavine or Keego he's Gerd Muller

Offers a threat from free kicks too which we haven't had since The Man With The Tan departed

Andy finished the season before last with 16 goals - only 1 or 2 behind Glen Crowe, and from a team that finished 8th that year (Not that many where penos - that was the season when he was missing them). He's a quality signing and will be missed in drogland!! The same applies for O'Connor
and here is the penpictures of each!

Danny signed from Bray Wanderers a couple of years ago. Has played a considerable amount of time at right back since coming to Drogheda. However, this season he has been starting at centre back and has been one of the drogs most important players. O'Connor will always be remembered for his winning goal against Galway United in the promotion/relegation play offs two seasons ago.

Gary is another player that has had a spell in England, being an ex Middlesboro trainee. He can play at either left back or left midfield and his performances towards the end of last season was one of the main reasons that the Drogs ensured their Premier League status. A very loyal Drogheda United player which is evident in him being the clubs present longest serving player. Gary was the supporters third choice for Player of the Year last season

Athlone, UCD, Monaghan, Newry and Waterford
Was the top scorer for the Drogs last season and had one of the best strike rates in the league. Andy is a massive crowd favourite and was voted by the supporters as their Player of the Year last season. 6 foot Myler also had spells with Athlone, UCD, Monaghan, Newry and Waterford.
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
He was hardly there when Sean Prunty was?

Longford sign Drogs trio
Drogheda United duo Danny O'Connor and Andy Myler have completed their transfers to Longford Town. Gary Cronin, released by Drogheda at the end of the season, has also joined the Town.
Both Myler and O'Connor had been expected to leave United Park after it became clear that full-time football would interfere with their day jobs.

The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

You have certainly changed your tune macy
Whats your point? That a person can't change an opinion in 4 years? Sure Lavine was probably playing alright back then, doesn't mean I still rate him...
