**Irish Fan** · 17/01/2007, 11:03 AM

One of my mates who is a Shamrock Rovers fan just rang me bragging that they have just signed Karl with the deal to be announced very soon any truth in this? As far as I knew he was still it Man City reserves no? Can any1 confirm this RUMOUR?

He has been with Newry City in the Irish League since October 2006.

**Irish Fan** · 17/01/2007, 11:28 AM

Yeah that must be him coz my mate said he used to play for man city. Is this fella any good? Would Newry be looking for a fee?

Who the feck's Karl Birmingham.....?

Cousin of Danni California....?

An unsuccessful trial at Dunfermline ? Released by a string of make-weight English sides, and now at Newry. ?

Quality signing there alright.....

Excited by a signing from Newry!

Your mate needs more fun in his life.

OK, Newry City's recent exploits are not going to set the world on fire; but in fairness to Karl Bermingham he set Newry City on fire in the few games he played for them. He may have been the proverbial 'big fish' but he certainly stood out and I would be keen to see him play for an eL side.

How ???

The guy's been rejected by the likes of Dunfermline and Lincoln City !! Only Newry would give him a side - and I reckon any random 11 of us would do well against Newry...!

Set them on fire in a Maxi McAllister kinda way or a Schillachi in Italia 90 kinda way?

Your inability to spot sarcasm is quite shocking!!

**ShelsNeil** · 18/01/2007, 12:26 AM

Well I played against him when he was younger and he was quality. As well as Shels, I'm also a City fan and unfortunately he was never going to make the cut with us. Had a loan spell and that but was released when his contract expired. Haven't seen him play recently though.

Derry offer Harrison, Bermingham trials

January 25, 2007

Derry City manager Pat Fenlon has taken goalkeeper Ryan Harrison and former Republic of Ireland youth international striker Karl Bermingham on trial at the Brandywell.

Harrison, 20, is currently plying his grade with Forest Green Rovers in the English Conference and has had spells with Swansea City and Wrexham.

Bermingham, meanwhile, played for Newry City in the Carnegie Premier League last season after a four-year stay at Manchester City came to an end.

The striker, who turned 21 in October, has made six English League appearances from loan spells at Lincoln City and Burnley in the 2004/05 season.
