Fiachra McArdle

**Martinho II** · 13/06/2010, 5:43 PM

I heard from sources close to the club last night that Fiachra McArdle has definitely left us.. Apparently due to his lack of first team action he cant commit to us anymore.. please discuss.

He's a decent enough player from what I've seen of him, I haven't seen every match, but he could be replaced without too much bother. Seems a bit sulky to just jack it in because you've been on the bench for a while.

**Martinho II** · 13/06/2010, 5:56 PM

exactly longfordian a sulky player in the camp is not the best to have so it is maybe a good thing that he has gone. I heard as well that Don Cowan from Shamrock Rovers has signed too.. I forgot to ask my source whether it was a loan move or permanent move.

**Longfordian** · 13/06/2010, 6:07 PM

Loan I'd imagine, he's always been quite highly rated there. Looked dangerous against us in pre-season. By all accounts he would have come to us for the start of the season except Rovers had an injury crisis with their strikers. TC is eager to use his Rovers connections to get in good young lads I believe and I think it's a good idea considering our limited budget. Might handicap us in the cup mind you when none of them can play!.

**Cabs88** · 13/06/2010, 7:18 PM

personally never rated him, thought he had a poor touch and seemed very lothargic, not too disappointed to see him leaving tbh

**De Town** · 13/06/2010, 7:30 PM

I thought he was a decent enough footballer tbh. Not a massive loss all the same.

**outspoken** · 13/06/2010, 7:33 PM

I'm dissapoited to see Fiachra leav. He had the potential to be an excellent player. He needed alot of development but if we got the best out of him it would have been worth it. If he's been causing problems / effecting team morale then maybe Cousins is right but it's sad to see him leave. He had been doing quite we'll but then he got injured and he's found it hard to get back into the team but it dosnt say much if he's not willing to stay and fight for a place.

As for the rovers signings I heard several weeks ago that we will be bringing in alot of rovers players on loan and It can be a good move once TC isn't just bribing them in for the sake of it and because they play for Rovers.

Heading to Australlia AFAIK

**L.T.F.C.** · 14/06/2010, 8:37 PM

If hes bringing in heaps of players from Rovers as he is, we'll have no one to field against Rovers come August.

**Acornvilla** · 14/06/2010, 10:09 PM

well the two former rovers lads we have are around the fringes anyway, so the new guys might be the same

**Frank76** · 24/06/2010, 12:25 PM

Fiachra was talking to one of our fans on facebook and this is what he said on the reason why he left.

he has no work here and the oppurtunity 2 go to austraila was just to big to pass up he said he really enjoyed playing 4 us and would have loved 2 stay under diffrent circumstances. he thanked the supportes 4 always backing him and he is now waying up 2 offers from sydney clubs...... i would have posted this on foot sooner but didnt have time and fiachra said only 2 do it when it was made official by the club and it is now official he told me yesterday

**outspoken** · 29/06/2010, 1:03 PM

**Longfordian** · 29/06/2010, 1:33 PM

Good luck to him hope it works out for him, sounds like a good opportunity.

**atfconline** · 29/06/2010, 1:48 PM

There is no promotion to the top league (A-League) in Australia Kieran (and Fiachra). It's run on a franchise.
