Tom Silke is a good player, I'd like to see him join Kildare County. Has he played for Athlone Town and Galway Utd before?

foley wont be much of a loss, silke was treated roughly by matthews. we went from having a great defence last year to a poor one this year that was chopped and changed for no reason. silke deserves another go. he should get a go in cup tonight seen as ferguson is out and gartland is ineligable

It said in the Mirror today that they were going to be loaned out to Sligo. Foley is a good player. When he has played in defence, he hasn't miised 1 header. Silke is a good squad player to have, he has never really let us down.

Yep, he played for Galway when they were relegated (2000/01) anyway. Think he went to Athlone then and on to Longford?

Me too, me too...

I'd like to claim we were robbed but really...

I did meet Martinho though which cheered me up no end!

Seriously best of luck to ye anyway and good luck with taking over our League Cup!

Feckin sorry to see Silke go, never really let us down but with the number of defenders at the club something has to give, he picked up knocks at unfortunate times but really Mathews never gave the guy much chance lately... A sound fellow too...

While I'm sorry to see them go, I reckon we have the cover there... Hopefully their wages will now be released for a midfielder, although it was a relief not put up with Sheridan on Saturday....

Slk - You some ignorant boll0x - ignoring me on Saturday... Admittedly I was telling you to get yer hair cut, but still...

And I know Limerick were sh!t but was that any reason to go around getting a Birthday card signed all the second half???

Macy, I'm gutted now of course but I didn't hear you at all on Saturday - I've perfected a kinda intuitive defence mechanism that prevents me from hearing anything derogatory about my hair!

Which means I live in a world of near-silence but it's a small price to pay for an ego the size of Roy's.

As for the card, it was a get well card for our on-loan cruciate victim Gareth Cooney. I suggested an 'Enjoy your retirement' card but was overuled alas...
