    Bulgarian and Portaguese players

    Anybody know anything about the two fellas on trial? What clubs they came from? What's their pedigree, etc?

    Is this a new recruitment policy now? Getting guys from european leagues as opposed to local lads who didnt quite make it in the UK, eg, george, gamble, o'donovan, etc?

    Well i think the well might have run dry on all those Cork lads returning. Those left are either just starting out Colin Doyle, well out of reach Colin Healy or just not wanting to return to City Delaney and Barry-Murphy.

    Have the bulgarian and portugese actually arrived so?
    Apparently Paul Connell is looking good for a one-year contract.
    City definetly have the best bands playing at half-time.

    Rico can't find players locally who are available & better than current squad. trial players could be a stop gap until more options in the summer. Rico seems to be focused on adding quality not quantity.

    Who?
    Paul Galvin isn't Portugese and James Cummins isn't Bulgarian.

    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    Didn't Cork City have three Bulgarians for a short time in the 1989-1990 season. One of your defenders scored an own-goal in his first match.

    Cameras were there too.

    Four, yes it must have been four.

    UCD and Shamrock Rovers both signed about seven or eight Hungarians between us at the same time. One of the better players Janós Lenart left UCD before the season started. And Rovers got rid of all theirs very quickly, we signed two of theirs.

    The Cork City Bulgarians were still around when we played them at Belfield Park. Gerry Thornley (UCD AFC sympathiser and soccer corresponden with the Irish Times, of course) did a preview and started praising the virtues of the "Magyars".

    koszonom, Thornley Gerry.
