No where still waiting for confirmation of the signing FIRST time around

Pat's have also signed Anto Murphy from UCD, apparently.

He was at St Pats before he joined us. I'm fairly sure it was him I saw sitting among the St Pats fans at Dalymount recently

Shels sign Greg O'Halloran from Cork.

**Passive** · 09/12/2005, 10:50 AM

Sparky is a great signing for Pats. Had a fantastic year with us, even if he is stronger defensively than going forward at this stage. He got my POTY vote and I think he ran young Murphy very close for the award.

Dublin City FC would like to announce the signing of FAI Cup Winner Mark Rooney from Drogheda United.

The 22 year old has been a full time professional with Drogheda for the last two seasons, where he joined from a season long spell at UCD.

Mark also gained international experience for the eircom League Under-21 selection in Wales in 2003

Dublin City would like to thank Paul Doolin and all at Drogheda United for their co-operation in this signing.

**pineapple stu** · 09/12/2005, 12:23 PM

Wonder does this mean the Indo article re the players Drogheda were looking to release is correct? Sandvliet, David Sullivan and one other.

What about the post on your website, Maynard? Is that list of released players likely to be confirmed and correct?

**Maynard** · 10/12/2005, 3:32 PM

They're not confirmed yet, but I imagine if Vaughan, Scully, Lynch (

), Williamson, A Kelly, B Kelly, Kennedy and Mulcahy aren't resigned by Monday then that's them gone. I heard that Brendan Kennedy is going back to Kildare (was offered a deal by us though apparently) other than that the only two that warrant any further speculation are Aidan Lynch (I think it's maddness if we don't keep him) and Ray Scully (who is being romanced by the vultures at Monaghan.

Agreed, it's up to our own clubs here to make sure they don't find the bargains here they would like to think they will.

I couldnt agree more. EL clubs have to sort their contracts out

**SeanDrog** · 12/12/2005, 7:06 AM

DROGHEDA UNITED manager Paul Doolin began building towards continued success next season by resigning Declan 'Fabio' O'Brien and cup hero Gavin Whelan and also drafting Glen Fitzpatrick into his squad.

Fitzpatrick had endured a frustrating year at Shelbourne and will look to rebuild his career with a move away from Tolka Park.

Doolin will now attempt to sort out terms with Stephen Bradley who is also out of contract. The midfielder was linked with a move to Fulham last week, but his current manager insisted no contact had been made.

from todays irish Indo

^^^^

That's gonna come back to haunt us. It was sad to see him go.

Great player!!

Yeah, Dean Murray and Steve Bradle would be a big loss.

Keddy gone to drogs apparently - good squad player imo

Drogheda United agree new two-year deals with O'Brien and Whelan
12/12/2005 - 17:59:13

FAI Cup winners Drogheda United have sign new two-year deal with skipper Declan O'Brien and Gavin Whelan, both of whom scored in the final at Lansdowne Road.

Paul Doolin has also signed Glenn Fitzpatrick from Shelbourne and James Keddy has agreed terms to move from Bohs following the release of the Dutch winger Jermaine Sandvliet .

All those stars will be watching the draw for the Setanta Cup when it's made later tonight.

The FAI Cup holders join Champions Cork City and League Cup winners Derry and Shelbourne, while the northern quartet are League Champions Glentoran, CIS Cup winners Linfield, IFA Cup winners Portadown and Dungannon Swifts.

**Slash/ED** · 12/12/2005, 7:21 PM

A step down from Sandvliet imo, why with all of Drogheda money does Doolin insist on signing such average players? Lynch was the same.

Lynch was one of our best players this season - very solid and turned out to be a great signing.

Jermaine is better than keddy on the left side of midfield imo but keddy (despite the criticism bohs fans give him) is a better squad player ie can play in more positions than jermaine. Jermiane can play left mid and thats it. I've always thought keddy played well when I've seen him (mostly as a neutral btw)

A toss up between him and jermaine on the left side of midfield, jermiane would win every time. Thought he did more than enough to earn another contract tbh.
