Midlands number 1 , (Salthill Away)

**outspoken** · 30/10/2010, 11:52 PM

Great way to round up the season and it will keep us dreaming until we kick off again in march and of course tonights result ensured we stayed above Athlone to once again confirm ourselves as Midlands no1....

Doesn't really matter does it?

**Longfordian** · 31/10/2010, 2:32 PM

It doesn't really matter but it's nice that's it something like 11 seasons running we've finished above them. Good to finish off with a win hopefully we can hold on to most of the players we want to hold on to and can build for next year in the coming weeks.

it was a cracking result but the trouble was I got lost trying to find their godsaken ground and came in just after Cathal Brady's goal (57 mins). It was frustrating to go from the clifden side to near salthill and still no sign of the ground..

And as for asking for directions the majority of the locals never heard of drum!!

That was towns third away of the season ( after salthill away and wexford away). It was our first away victory since mid july in wexford. It also kept our unbeaten record intact against Salthill Devon. In four games played since 1991 we have won three and drawn one.

Hynes finished top scorer with seven goals( thats including his goal against sporting fingal in the leinster senior cup at the start of the season..

Hope ya didnt have to pay in

as for finishing ahead of Athlone no it dosnt really matter but if we finished below them it would matter big time

Hope to God we keep Lee but I could see a Dublin club coming in for him a long time ago

As for the rest of the squad theres alot we can keep and if we do we can only improve so roll on next season.

What age is Michael Lee out of curiosity, 21 or so? If he was on pro forms for the past couple of years we could be entitled to compensation if he goes.

No it wouldn't matter "big time". We've more to worry about than finishing above Athlone.

Has anyone heard about this? If they came he would be long gone...

Think he is on amateur contract.

**Longfordian** · 31/10/2010, 9:31 PM

It'd be a shame to lose him, especially for nothing, but if he gets a better offer then he'd be dead right to take it. Is he finished college now or what?

**howsyourtouch** · 31/10/2010, 10:14 PM

he is in college in galway

**Longfordian** · 31/10/2010, 11:01 PM

He had a good game against Rovers, wouldn't be surprised if they'd been keeping an eye on him. Best of luck to him if he does go, I wouldn't begrudge it to him anyhow, it'd be a good opportunity for him.

[QUOTE=Martinho II;1418825]
I was talking to a lot of the players last night in the Spiral Tree as they were all staying in Pvs.. a lot of them wont know till hopefully next week if they are staying or not.. and I will be very worried about Michael Lee as I know for a fact that two big clubs in the big smoke are after him and I dont think he will stay if he wants to progress his career elsewhere and why begrudge him. Sammo and Shanahan think we are a much better squad than athlone from their time with them so there is a lot of positives to take from it.A lot of the lads love it here and think that if TC keeps the majority of the squad and add to it next season they will go places..

with all due respect marty i think you should be careful what ya mention about speculating comings and goings by quoting players on this as it might not reflect well on the player(s) and or club(s) involved

**L.T.F.C.** · 01/11/2010, 12:26 AM

I'm getting a real fúcking kick out of this. Do people think that clubs go on here for information other than supporter feedback? And if they do, I don't want to be part of a club that does! They should be running the club instead of arsing around forums!
Do Shamrock Rovers come on here and look at rumours about Bohemians and who they are signing? No they don't!

All this ******** "Oh I better not say anything or Team X or player X will come to my house and tickle me 'til I cry!". It is hilarious! This is a forum for people to talk about stuff they heard and all the rest not a dick-measuring competition about who knows what!

Martinho II "two big clubs in the big smoke" had me on the floor!

Mick Lee going to a big Dublin club? He'd be way out of his depth. He's not good enough.

**Macy** · 01/11/2010, 11:20 AM

I'd take finishing above Athlone ahead of finishing below them. At the very least it would definitely mean no relegation playoff! However, I'd agree with LTFC - if players are saying it to randomers (no offence at all meant Marty) in a pub, it's hardly a state secret. The loi playing (and managing) pool is so small that everyone knows everything anyway.

yeah your right, its not like he played up there for years and years! oh, wait, yeah he did!

**Acornvilla** · 01/11/2010, 3:16 PM

erm.. I think mick is only in 2nd year in galway, so would be an awful lot of hassle to transfer and all that, maybe i'm wrong and hes in 3rd year? someone go ask him

Thats how ya beat the recession lol

as for the comments on here saying mick lee is not good enough to play in Dublin I honestly dont believe that and imo hes much better than Enda Stevens.
