While I'm not exactly trilled at the prospect of another Dublin club(no need imo really) every club has to start somewhere and every fan has to start somewhere .

If they can draw in a genuine crowd without detracting from other clubs(it's not like anyone is going to stop supporting their current club anyway) then they may turn out to be a positive for the league .

Meh, with the kind of money they have behind them they'll be in there next season anyway.

Hmm.

This looks like Franchise Football as we all feared it would turn out.

Ah once we give them a few hammerings they'll have no fans left. At least there'll be a Dublin rival in the division I guess.

Yep.

hey Ronan.

Any word on a squad for you lot? Or are yiz doing a Shels on it and not getting players until the end of Feb?

Training is starting next week, lot more emphasis on getting local players through the system. Good few should hopefully get in the squad, Aaron and Vinny have been in contact with a lot of players already (vinny, with half the country if one was to believe the stories ) and are confident of assembling a good squad. Also meant to be taking a few of Athlones players.

.

the problem is basically they are the only club willing to step up.

force the junior clubs into the LoI when they win and relegate clubs like Kilkenny so they can find their level.

its the only solution

Gavin "shels"

Ger Rowe is on the transfer list at Shamrock Rvs. Heard yesterday he's signing for Bohs, only heard rumours about him going to Pats, doubt he'll leave Dublin so these two look likely.

KdjaCL

Bohs can have him tbh, Foran signed with darlington so we still looking for a striker, hope its not another fitz type desperaton signing.

Right, here are the current rumours swirling around

George is coming back.
Danny Murphy to follow.
City are to pay in excess of €50k for UCDs Quigley.
Pat Sullivan and Dave Mooney from Longford have agreed to join.
Ger Rowe is being spoken to!
Damian o Rourke who went on a 'soccer' scholarship to the states and played with us beforehand is on his way back as well.

applehunter

Looking good. All those singings are needed.

Ger Rowe is a hidden gem in this league.

Most importantly, The king is back!:)

Gavin "shels"

As I said in an above post I doubt Rowe will leave Dublin if he gets offers from either Bohs or Pats.

redzerdrog

heard a romour today that simon webb is retiring as of from now i havent seen anything about this online yet so will wait and see.:(

DmanDmythDledge

darren quigley more than likely to sign for derry.

we're completely doomed this season.

KdjaCL

webb retirement confirmed in papers and on drogsweb, gone to brazil to travel.

redzerdrog

Was a great player alright.

Drogheda United are delighted to announce the signing of full-back Joe Kendrick on a 2-year deal. The Dubliner returns home to Ireland after a long spell away playing for, amongst others, Newcastle United in England and 1860 Munich in Germany.

Left-back Kendrick spent some time on trial with paul Doolin's men at the beginning of last season before signing for Workington in the English Conference and having impressed Doolin sufficiently, he arrives at Drogheda to fight it out for a place in one of the league's meanest defences.

Kendrick becomes the club's fourth signing of the close-season, joining Sean Prunty, Shaun Maher and Adam Hughes in the claret and blue.

Player Profile
Name Joe Kendrick
Date of Birth 26/06/'83
Place of Birth Dublin
Nickname Kendo
Position Left-back
Foot Left
Height 6 foot
Weight 12.5 stone
Previous Clubs Newcastle United, 1860 Munich, Darlington, Tamworth, Workington

Hopefully this won't be the case or else I'll be the only one in the stands along with anyone i manage to drag along. It's hard to get anybody interested in the team. If they fail to get results then I fear the worst.

I didn't think you guys existed yet.

Fair play if you take an interest, but it's going to be exactly like Dublin City. One man and his dog.

Yeah, it is. I'm not surprised either.

Joking aside, a good and ambitious signing

KdjaCL

Another one expected some welsh international 29yrs old, google suggest neil roberts.

At least someone does. When Harris was pushed up front with a few minutes to go you nearly always knew it was time to get the coat ready.

bohsman

He was a striker for us, he went to pats in part exchange for trevor molloy after pats turned down Crowe.

What about the time he came on in Junksville at 1-1, for the last ten minutes or so?

Scored one and made one, 1-3 Shels.

Genius substitution by Fenlon.

Seems City have signed Dave Mooney on a 3 year deal. I'm strangely apathetic to this.

George news part 1000000000000568: An offer is on the table for him from City. Ball is in his area now.

applehunter

Getting worried about George situation now.

Mooney is a good signing to get. When was the last time City got the previous year's top scorer?

Ronan|Raven

Woohoo money for Mooney.

KdjaCL

Pats have signed former welsh international David Partridge.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Partridge

Been out of football since that mostly.

Another centre back

Bleedin loads now, striker now?

Aaron Callaghan's Red 'N Black Army.
L.T.F.C. If I had two lives I would give them both to you.

Neither would get their game ronan.

All these new center backs, will Paisley be scrapped?

If aul George does appear back on the scene, I hope to jaysis we get yiz in a cup.

It also appears Cork City have signed Dave Mulcahy and Pat Sullivan have signed for City on full time deals.

dan connor out for 6 months so drogs are on the lookout for a number 2 to miko vilmmunen. Also made an off for kudavic(sp???) from sligo.

Gavin "shels"

Pat Jenning maybe? Or has he completed his move to Sligo?

Roar

rumours down leeside way is that we've agreed terms with george o'callaghan. how long before he falls out with mathews? im taking bets..

KdjaCL

Mulcahy makes cork a decent side next season, cant see Farrelly or Healy getting a look in CMF with Mulcahy and Gamble. Heard we bidding for Gamble cant see it happening tbh.
