He certainly knows his finance

Would of liked him at Windsor but didnt happen. Cert to score against us in Setanta although hopefully a consolation

Steve, are you sure we were in for him. Heard nothing about our interest and with the arrival of Mc Hugh an aproach would have been pointless.

eh, if he's with us you're safe from him for this year at least

Dunno what yiz are all talkin about - Arkins will be an excellent signing. Guaranteed 15+ goals

**daniel** · 10/01/2006, 10:47 PM

Steve Derry wern't after him, there was alot of speculation that they were because of past interest, but SK has always thought he was too old and couldnt do a job, the City board also shared the same decision lol.

Yet another player who took great pleasure scoring against you lot but then goes on to play for you.

Players dont care.........

Was going to say that but i think they're on about McHugh.

Have Bohs abandoned their fulltime ambitions now as they only seem to be signing semi-pros in last 6 months?

Good question.

I think the following are full time
Bracken, Byrne, Duggan, Farrelly, Ferguson (I think), Grant, Gregg, Heary, Hunt, Kelly, M.O'Brien, McGuinness, Rice, Ward

And the following are part time
Arkins, Collins, Harkin, Hussey, S.O'Brien, O'Keefe.

Bohs expect 20+ goals a year off a 35 year old you can't handle the Irish League anymore. And they say satire is dead.

Who expects that? I don't.

Long way to go before it matches 'Ireland's most famous club' being in the first division

**Passive** · 11/01/2006, 4:36 PM

That Ireland's most famous club are in the First Division is merely a statement of fact. I've accepted it, I think it's time you did too.

Bohemians have a very pacy team and all we've been lacking is a striker who can hold up the ball and lay it off for these players. Thats exactly what Arkins brings, a very good signing if you ask me.

We'll sell him to ya when he's 38 and ready to play in the first division with Rovers ....

if its true that a) SRFC are ireland's most famous club, then the fact that b)they are in the 1st Division is funny.
If it isn't true that a) (SRFC are etc) then the fact that their fans think they are, while been b) (in the 1st division) is funny
So either way, it's funny

**Schumi** · 11/01/2006, 5:05 PM

Rovers in the First Division is funny without the need for any of that.

Glad to see the aul philosophy degree coming in handy there. I don't understand a word of it but I think it maybe derogatory.
