Ciaran Foley

Even allowing for the fact that he might be 18 or 19. If he's good enough Gary should be pressing for a place in the team and he hasn't been.

He is young,but so too are most of the UCD lads. Wes Houlihan isn't that old either.

My point is that if you are good enough....you are old enough.

A few months ago I'd probably have agreed with you but he has really improved, seriously. His work-rate and strength has really soared lately.

In fairness, he always had both in abundance, it's the technical side of the actual game of football where I'm afraid Ciaran might struggle

None of the names mentioned previously have been named offically by anyone from GUFC anyway

I heard that it was Ciaran Foley(sligo) but i could be wrong.

**shedhead** · 05/12/2005, 7:15 PM

Dont think its that big a loss.could you see him as a premier division player?He did do well for us but we should be looking for much better players

ryan o donell has officialy joined galway united

that treachourous so and so

best of luck to him,he was very unlucky

While I didn't see much of him outside of our games against you this year I'd have been very surprised if Ciar�n Foley was good enough to really shine in the Premier Division. For work and commitment the boy can have few equals but technically... he often looked a little belaboured at times in the First (certainly with us anyway) and I think he'd be shown up just a little bit. He'll do a job for Galway alright though if he does pitch up there next.

Close down the Galway forum

He didn't get too many games with us he was injured for most of the season

yes and if he can stay injury free yes

The only time I saw Ryan O'Donnell play for us was in a pre-season. I think he made a sub appearance a couple of times.
But, we really cant hold on to him for another season. He's out injured all year. Good luck to him in Galway.
Technically Ciaran would not be the best but he gives 100% commitment. With these two and Alan Murphy, Galway should give Harps and Shams a run for their money.
