Was Ryan at Dundalk ?????????

All not well at UCD is the word and nothing to do with league position.

spill the beans then who else is on the way? sounds pretty worrying if true. any word on a destination for kerrigan

Well the word on the street was kerrigan and whelan were on their way to Rovers but that seems to have gone quiet

expected whelan to rovers alright. seemed to be more talk about derry for kerrigan, very little about both now. whelan obviously injured but kerrigan stock is only going up. very impressive with the u21s

That certainly wasn’t Ian Ryan…

**pineapple stu** · 13/06/2022, 2:36 PM

He was still playing then; was technically a player with us for the 2015 season

Unless there is two Ian Ryans, we definitely had an Ian Ryan(Im sure its the one and same) play with us mid to late 2000s, I thought was 2008 but in and around then. Also had a stint with Rovers. No mix up with John Ryan thats for sure!!!

I hate resorting to looking things up but I started to doubt...

'Ian made his competitive debut for the Lilywhites away to Shelbourne on 7 March 2008 and played a central role in the club lifting the First Division title at the end of the season. However, during the close season, manager John Gill was replaced by Sean Connor and Ian was among a reft of players who were released'.

The persistent rumour was either Lincoln or Rovers for Kerrigan and Whelan. Re the lads who have walked, to be fair to them, up to them to spill the beans, but they obviously felt strongly enough to walk away from having their fees and accommodation paid. God love their parents! Will be brushed under the carpet and the secretive world of UCD football will move on as it always has done.

apologies, you’re right - thought when you made reference to him in first place, you were talking about a manager

**sbgawa** · 14/06/2022, 7:27 AM

Getting nervous now, given the importance of winning the first round and guaranteeing 3 more rounds i'm ****tng myself it will be Poznan.
Not saying we will def beat the others but it would be nice to have a tie that was very winnabe

While of course Id want to be in the draw, I am not missing the dread of getting the nightmare draw. Its a horrible pot bar Hibs, which would be a nice trip to go on also.

Its a great spot to visit but the game would come with its own challenges. How certain players react to the conditions of above 30c and how much it would take out of them.

True, we suffered badly in Cyprus and after hot weather training. Still Rovers are capable of keeping the ball and conserve energy, will have learnt from last year too. Where the legs 1st/2nd could have a baring.
