    Right full. I think he got a cruciate knee injury before he even kicked a ball for them. Never seems to have gotten much first team action since his recovery.

    Also no money was paid to Cork for the then U-23 players free move to $hels!
    I think Kearney had passed his birthday by the time he actually got around to joining Shels.

    CCFC actually had neither of those things this season. Unless of course you include a Winding-up order under ther header of 'success'.........

    I suspect you may have been getting the cities of Derry and Cork mixed-up here....

    Just after he signed he developed a serious virus which ruled him out for most of his first season however he returned shortly before the end of last season and played a handful of matches. Unfortunately he suffered a relapse in the close season and was unable to feature for the first team this season although he did play in the U21's match against Bray. Hopefully he has now recovered and will be able to return for next season although he'll struggle to get into the team ahead of lynch and shelley for the fullback position and whelan. barret and robinson for the left wing position where he can also play.

    Yeah but you're still a small time non-entity for not demanding half a mill for each of them.

    If you attack me with stupidity, I'll be forced to defend myself with sarcasm.

    Just to make it clear exactly where you misunderstood me CCFC won the league in 2005, it didn't change the fact that in the 2006 season we lost players for free when we shouldn't have and we've lived with a short term outlook, which is the point I was making.

    We weren't bullied e.g. we stood up to heerenveen re: Kearney we were just not professional enough and ended up losing him for free to Shels anyway.

    As for attendances, if Derry had a higher average than us over the season, hurrah for you.
    ...and well done on being runners-up in the league again.

    What BobtheDrog says is true (leaving out the bits where Drogheda variously refused to pay us and him while he was ill), but I also thought that Doolin didn't really rate him as a player? Strange, I know, given the fact that he played him at UCD, but then Doolin does do some strange things.
