That's brilliant news, I can't tell you how much that's cheered me up!!!

Altogether now: 'We've got our Vinny back, we've got our vinny back...'

time to take the jersey out of storage

with Aaron and Vinny there now, passion & pride won't be a problem.

From what I've heard it souds like they're really trying to build the club up again and not just go after short term gains. Hopefully the feel good factor can return.

**max power** · 04/01/2008, 1:57 PM

well i'm actually going to get to games this season and looking forward to it. Kildare is my local club where i live and even Athlone and Kilkenny are closer to home than Longford.

**Longfordian** · 04/01/2008, 2:01 PM

Will your fancy a$$ camera be making a return too then..

**max power** · 04/01/2008, 2:05 PM

It will be, my new one...... its part of my business empire now

Set up new business last year and was mad busy. Didn't make it to one single game.

Great newsa about Vinny! A true legend.

**Tallanted** · 04/01/2008, 2:35 PM

Good to see him get him chance as assitant, will gain valuable experience if this is true, rather see him learnin the trade along side someone rather than have been thrown into the deepend as manager on his own

Welcome back Vinny!

**sligoman** · 04/01/2008, 3:33 PM

His position is heaven so is it?

**Longfordian** · 04/01/2008, 3:55 PM

Vincent Perth isn't confined by mortal terms such as position. He is omnipresent and omnipotent..But if you want to lower it down to such a basic level he plays midfield or at a pinch centre back

**Maz** · 04/01/2008, 4:13 PM

So we have A player, any word on the rest?

**Longfordian** · 04/01/2008, 4:27 PM

Two or three more have agreed to come but he's not naming names yet by all accounts. Apparently he wants to have a whole load of players training for pre-season and whittle them down from that, having a good look at any and all interested and interesting players. He's still hoping to keep some of the lads we had last year seemingly. I think Shay is likely to be the captain.

**Rocky77** · 04/01/2008, 4:59 PM

I'm interested, but not very interesting...

Seriously though, I haven't been so excited about a new season for a long time!

that makes 2 actually, along with D�ire Doyle, Midfield taking shape already

Some of the posts on this make me laugh. Lavine, Stephen Gavin, **** it Colin Nataro might be in the frame.(that was a joke, dont start a rumour on it) Tallented was spot on with what he said, hungry players who are willing to learn the game, and not just a dads army selection of journey man. If we could hold on to deego, sulli and kelly its a start. Vinny fully fit would be an addition too, should never have been gottin rid of by matthews, when you look at what he kept on with sheridan and pip keogh.
The feel good factor will only return with a decent start to the league. Lets not kid ourselves, this season, finishing in the top 3 will be a great achievement. Waterford and Shels have added significantly, and dundalk will be strong, as could limerick.
A succesful season will se an improvement in the clubs community relations, and a young hungry team full of potential, all wanting to wear the red and black jersey. Throw in a cup victory or 2 and the majority of supporters will be happy.

On the supporters from myself and Paddy intend to consolidate and increase on last years improvement on support, and bring you more banners, witty ditties and generally keep an atmosphere goin at games!

Here's to 2008
