Bitter?
I will when I get back if you want. But for a winger, goals are less of a marker.
Only Poor Student agrees he's useless, by the way. Your bitterness, etc, etc, etc.
Dessie Baker available from Rovers...

He worked out well the last time...
Doyle is a decent player but his wing play isn't great. I'd rather see him in the middle myself. Was it him that scored in Richmond in the League Cup last year?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
In the league, but I presume that was the goal you were thinking of. Nice finish.
I think it was in the league actually, yeah. Was the league cup goal an early penalty?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Yeah, Sammo scored that.
Doyle transfer now official- on the Dundalk website.
That explains my confusion, I was late and missed that.
It might be blind optimism but is there any chance that these departures are to free up money to pay someone new?Doyle transfer now official- on the Dundalk website.

Or, are we in some sort of a cash flow/budget crisis? I'd like to think that's very unlikely but it seems odd to be shifting players who played a significant part (in terms of minutes played) in our last few games. I prefer Schumi's theory that we're just making way for new signings though.
As Pineapple pointed out earlier, I don't really rate Doyle but I appreciate the effort he put into playing for us and admire the way he worked his way back in following his leg break. He also had an uncanny knack of grabbing goals despite not playing too well and playing on the wing. Hopefully he will do well and Dundalk and I hope he'll continue to develop.
Dessie Baker may be going in the same direction as Stephen Rice. At least when may have to match their money.
Em....isn't their an overdue post from pineapple stu regarding UCD AFC and the phrases 'tits up', 'meltdown' and 'screwed' after the release of some footballers during the transfer window. How very inconsistent from the supporter's representative.
" I'll go right up to here,
it can't possibly hurt.
All they will find is my
beer and my shirt."
No. Why, should there be? We've lost players before; Mahon's almost always shown he can replace them, and there is an argument to be made that Doyle's not been as effective this year as last (or even that Dundalk offered more money). No biggie.
Who's to go in at left wing then? Can't even remember who started the season there for us...!

Podge. Think Bermo played there in a friendly too?
Hmmm...
Who played left wing against Dundee United? Was it one of those trailists?
John 'Rocco' Reilly (née Ryan?) is available.
And for me, Derek Doyle is a big loss. Is he another player where there is pretend shock amongst some UCD fans 'cos he scores in a UEFA-sponsored game....again?

I agree Doyle is a big loss.
I've no idea what the last bit of your post means.
Neither of our right sided wingers has looked comfortable there, and while I don't think Podge is any worse than him on the left, he's needed up front. It's definitely a blow in terms of squad depth.
You can't spell failure without FAI
Darren Forsyth scored on his Shelbourne debut, two second half goals against Athlone Town in a 3-3 all draw.
Fair play to Darren, he has shown he can score at every level he has played at. I'm delighted for him. For me, we are the last club to be sending away available forwards.
If we are so tight that we have a budget for forward players and need to release some forwards to allow others in, then we need to increase that budget because we are not matching the market price.

Well, no, he hasn't...
Two strikers coming in on loan Wednesday.

Mahon gets Student firepower
PETE Mahon's desperate search for a striker will finally come to an end this week when UCD sign two English front men from Wigan and Nottingham Forest.
Mahon confirmed the two transfers, expected to be loan deals, will go ahead this week barring any late hitches but was not drawn into naming the players who will arrive on Wednesday.
Are loans not covered by the transfer window?
We're not arrogant, we're just better.
Nothing happened. Full squad for tomorrow; no additions. Think there may have been some lads on trial or something.
