    Didn't realise you were signing Crawford. He had been training with us. Mind you he pulled the same stunt last year by going back on his word to join Shels.

    Decent squad. They're probably a quality striker shy of challenging at the moment. Still, that squad alone makes them Dublin's fifth best team.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    Decent enough squad but won't be strong enough to challenge Shels/Dundalk.

    i was at the launch tonight in corduff and there was a much bigger crowd than i expected, with over 200 there. wide audience with the emphasis on local clubs a nice touch, with reps from most of the local clubs in fingal. it will be interesting to see if they all show in santry though. people i was talking to mentioned the bitterness towards the club already and one speaker even went as far to to nearly say sorry for playing in the league this early!!!!

    Hmm Crawford signing for Fingal, well feck it he's just coasting along at this stage, I'd rather he coast along with them than us. In fairness to him last year he never actually 100% said he'd come, but this year he was on board and hadn't given any indication of going anywhere else, he just couldn't fit in the friendlies so far with his FAI work according to himself. Well sure it's a few hundred yo-yos to be spent on someone who wants to play I guess.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Hynes and Doyle are an attitude problem and four stone away from being one of the best strike forces in the division.

    They seem to be going about their establishment in a way far more akin to Dublin City than a Wexford type approach.

    Hi Poor Student, I know I'm starting to get over sensitive but what is a Wexford type approach???

    Not spending heavily on players in search of immediate success I'd imagine.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Shels are clearly stronger.

    Presumed Sheridan meant us.

    Let's assume that, like everyone else, he's mocking Shels unless otherwise stated. It's more fun that way.

    Building a club organically from the ground up and patiently building a team to challenge over time.

    Cheers Poor Student, I mistakenly sensed a criticism in there. Like I said, I'm beginning to see snipers in every bush (when I know they are only in every 2nd one)
