What's that you said, "Road-Trip to Cork?"

Excellent news, I was just complaining recently of his omission form the U-21 squad. Though does this bring closer the moment when we call him Judas?

Two U-21 call ups in successive squads.

He better not get injured!

Though does this bring closer the moment when we call him Judas?

Hope not, I'd like to see him here for as long as possible. There'll be money for us if he does go though.

On the topic of Quigley. I wanted to ask something. I wasn't attending games at the start of last season but I know from the programmes Gallagher was the regular keeper and seemed to be doing well. Why did he lose his place?

We have had a bit of trouble keeping the keeper since Bazza left. I think we can hold onto him for a bit longer though. Doyle has shown the error of thinking you can go to smallish, overspending club for more money, so unless he gets interest from across the water...

Quigley was playing in the league cup games (mostly reserve team like this year) and did really well. He played in the cup game against Cork (not sure if Gallagher was injured or if Quigley was getting a run), played well and just kept his place from there.

I've never seen Gallagher tested. Is he just as good?

Hard to compair. He did well when he was playing. I'd have no worries about him stepping in if (touch wood) Quigley got injured.

What age are they?

Both young, I think they've both played for the U19s in the last year or two.

Quigley has been first choice since he finished his leaving cert. He played for the reserves while he was still in school.

Quigley is better, Gallagher has too many drops.

Bit harsh on Gally. They're both quality keepers - Quigley played for Ireland U-19 this season, so is about 19 (duh!) while Gally played for them in 2003, so he's about 21. Gally didn't do much wrong - 10 clean sheets in 18 games - but Quigley played in the League Cup and was then given his debut against Cork City, so he must have impressed in training. I can see Gally leaving in the next year or two if he's still second choice - maybe back to Dundalk if they get themselves sorted out.
