Kavanagh starts for Birmingham reserves

Last game of the season has just started - Kav and Dicker in the starting XI, with Brum needing a point to win the title. They're 1-0 down to Shrewsbury after three minutes though. Birmingham website is doing live updates.

They drew 3-3 with an injury time equaliser and won the league by a point.

Kav seems to have taken the mick - he scored the first (to make it four for the season), set up the second, hit the woodwork and set up another lad to hit the post two. Dicker got an "assist" on a disallowed goal. They were certainly mentioned in the match report more times than in any other game.

Big question now is if they get kept on, or if they find a new club in England or here.

The indo today said that the two lads could be coming back.

The Irish Daily Mail had the same story and quotes from Pete as well.
'' Gary Dicker will be back training with us this week. He wants to stay in the UK, which is fair enough. If somebody doesn't want him then, that's a different kettle of fish, '' said Mahon. ' We'd take Gary back tomorrow. He's a good player and was very good for us.
He's a good lad and left with no problems at all. If nothing pans out for him in the UK then he'll come back to us. Birmingham have paid him up. Clubs like Nottingham Forest and Stockport County are interested in him,'' added the former Bohemians boss.

And on Kavanagh , Pete was quoted as follows '' Paddy Kavanagh is resting up. I'll be spekaing to him during the week. When he left he said he'd come back to us. I haven't spoken to him yet so if he doesn't I have no control over that. We'd love to have him back but there's we can do nothing until July 1 anyway. There's plenty of time.''

There was something similar in the Herald recently too.

Yay!

But will Dicker be able to oust Tony Mac, McFaul, Finn, Crowley, King and so on...?

Interesting. Maccer or Sherro was saying earlier that the two wouldn't be coming back to us anyways.

I heard a rumour we might be looking at Kavanagh

The real question is: Is he any closer to being the finished article?

I'll read into it and let you know

Still a good chance that that will be the case. Dicker doesn't want to come back but he's still contracted to us, so if he doesn't get a club (which is unlikely) he will be our player for the remainder of the season. Also wouldn't be surprised to see Kav go to Pats or Bohs.

Is that a bebo comment or are you just assuming on the basis he went away? It could be beneficial to him to get back to playing some senior competetive football. You don't want to be arsing around for a year on trials.
