Niall Gallagher is gone to Ballina, he is EX Celtic and had a year in the Super with Ballyglass under his belt, not sure if he would have returned.

There is a good keeper in Swinford, he is good from what I have seen of him

i think there was very sour grape's when n.gall left, maybe i wrong?

**irishyop** · 10/01/2007, 3:38 PM

I think there was something alright. Not sure what though

my understanding of the keeper situation is Colm Gavin is to be the new keeper youth all his life with celtic playing gaa last few seasons but with the position vacant its said he'l take it. alan wont be comming home for 2 more years.

keith bourke ( narky) is supposed to be signing for ballyheane, and rumor is that k.murphy has pulled out of the job.. hear mad mick has fallen out with club 2 after doin good work with the b's...wasnt offered a job

i say keith bourke has still alot to offer(about 30yrs old) and would be a good addition to any squad. would he still go to ballyheane k.murphy does pull out of the running for that managers post?

thats a good question its hard to see him going as that is the only link to him going out there, looks messy enough for ballyheane this year hear there is rumour of more leaving ballyheane. S.Welsh going 2, could be more pub talk but not looking good 2 of backline missing already, they need to get players signed up...and quick

ya,you right it is begining to look a bit messy alright out there,who else is supposed to be leaving? i say if k.murphy takes the job he would steady the ship and maybe attract some players to sign and maybe talk the players thinking of going to stay.?

if he was to take over im sure he would have no problem getting players to come out, hes been around for years and is very well respected by everyone and hed be perfect replacement for bourke until he finds someone peremant.
im sure he would get a few from celtic mabye the boro and could change things around for the heane... John Clarke although a man with impressive c.v and coaching skills it actually ruined ballyheane getting him to manage, id say itl be a busy transfer market in the next comming months....

i think it will be very hard to fill burke's boot, seem to be a leader on the pitch, but i suppose they got to get on with it and maybe a few senior players mite step-up to the plate and bring the team forward. . ya, busy month or 2 in the transfer market? any leads on any moves?

**Closed Account** · 11/01/2007, 2:47 PM

Although it's hard to trust anything you hear around town, I don't think Murphy will go to Ballyheane, I don't think he's too interested in it at the moment, he's probably better taking some time out of the game for a while. He's been a great servant, but I wouldn't fancy being out in the cold two or 3 nights a week when I'm his age. I'd prefer to put my feet up and get my appetite back for the game, his Boro days ended a bit awkwardly.

But if he did go to Ballyheane, i doubt he'd get any Boro players to follow him, he might tempt Johan though who wouldn't be a bad signing at all for Ballyheane, help fill Bourkes boots as a leader on the pitch.

Why are you still coming out with that drivel that Boro need a influx of 5 or 6 Players. 3 at most. If a Manager can get a squad Super fit and well organized then it can be a tough Challange to take points off that side. I will guarantee you Boro will stay up. They have players who just need a little guidance. Its not like some regeimes where you need to overflow the barrel with outsiders to get results( Or not). Ring any bells

Like the crest pixie?

**pixiehead** · 11/01/2007, 2:55 PM

From what my sources tell me Murphy is still with the Boro. He said he will either play for Boro or hang up the Boots. Fact!!!

It looks to me that this season its goin to be as usual westport, celtic and maybe ballina that will be up there. with these clubs signing players from other teams etc there goin to be to strong for any of the other super league teams. the main focus this year could be on the teams goin down like last year. hopefully this year no teams will decide to throw any games!!! its not how the game should be played.
