Arkins in Pats' Squad

**dcfc_1928** · 21/02/2007, 9:46 PM

When did Vinny Arkins sign for St Pats?

He is listed in the Setanta Sports Cup offical squad registration information, as being a St Pats player - squad number 22.

HE CANNOT RUN ANYMORE!

How old is he? He played for Shamrock Rovers in the 1991 FAI Cup Final against Galway United and I thought he looked knackered then.

Actually, Pat Dolan was on the bench for Rovers that day. He didn't get a game.

Rovers lost!

Vinny Arkins was only signed so Shels couldn't sign a striker for the start of the season. It was an up yours towards Shels.

On a pay as you play deal, hes there to hold the ball up ala Keego.

White Wine is a colour? Could it not simply be called Chardonnay?

Oh, nearly forgot.

**Peadar** · 22/02/2007, 8:38 AM

Ha ha, this is hilarious! Dodge was slagging us off for our signings! We can play a 2-4-4 against you, if you're going with Arkins up front!

We've added Ndo, O'Neill, Kirby and Guy to the squad as well as Arkins. Paisely possibly on his way too.

You would have loved any of those five aside from Arkins.

Of your signings I'd only take Healy, but not on a four year contract. Chances of Healy getting in ahead of Mulcahy, Ndo, Fahey and Mick Foley would be slim too.

Ndo is as bad as McCourt! He's good for a percentage of a few games a season and rubbish for the rest.
Kirby is only able to raise his game for the odd cup tie.
O'Neill, I'd take as cover.
Guy, Arkins, Paisley, you're welcome to them!

By the way, who gave Colin Healy a 4 year contract?

The players we've brought in are secondary to the players we've managed to keep. Namely, Devine, Murray, Gamble, O'Donovan, O'Flynn, Woods, O'Brien, Softic and hopefully Hoggy.

**Dodge** · 22/02/2007, 9:37 AM

I wasn't slagging the signing. I was slagging YOU Peadar for being happy with/defending the signing. As you can see above I think the signing of Arkins is stoopid.
