Apparently so , his name is Jamie Harris .

Pats seem to want to have a monopoly on centre-backs .

gimmick

Mulcahy has been signed as a centre half.

Gavin "shels"

Sparkey has returned home after 10 years.:D

oh god, great for nostalgia but being brutally honest i saw him action for Longford twice last season and he was their worst player by a distance, he has slowed down considerably and i think he was constantly injured on and off all last season, Shels can't afford to have crocks this season

but yeah great to see him back in a red shirt but bad signing IMO but it there is one person i'd love to prove me wrong it's him!

Best news of this transfer laden day

Pats up to 7 signings now and they get better and better.

Damien Lynch - Drogheda Utd
Bobby Ryan - Dunfermeline
Joe O'Cearuill - Barnet
David Patridge - Brentford
Gary Dempsey - Yeovil Town

In for the 3rd time
Jamie Harris - Dunfermeline

Was on trial with Cardiff and a few others.

wiki - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Konopka

He played for Bohs v Monaghan today along with Glenn Cronin

KdjaCL

what was score?

Also jason Byrne injured?

We used to have a fanzie called osamisdoubtful, methinks you be having something similiar but actually true


kdjac

bohsman

Byrne was signed with a hamstring injury but somehow passed a medical on 2nd attempt. Ken Oman went off injured after 5 minutes, Glenn Cronin is very injury prone, Thomas Heary and Harpal Sling already live in the treatment room.

We won 1-0 Chris Turner, apparently Neale Fenn was MOTM.

KdjaCL

People see me as a mix between Joey Barton and George Best

Furious george with some cracking quotes.

Last time George played at Dalymount (last time he played in the eL?) Joxer made a monkey of him.

3 or 4 more quality signings in the July transfer window and that team could well win the the first division title, think they've taken one of Shels' best young players too which is even more annoying

DSB

That team isn't as good as the Shels at all but seeing Crawford in there just isn't nice:(

:D

Not as good as Sporting Feck All.;)

Ronan|Raven

**** you Crawford, twice he has messed Longford around. Then again as bad as things are we dont really need an old cobbler like him.

KdjaCL

Ndo becomes irish today so expect a demand for a free transfer to Real Socidead fairly soon.

Merlin the magician got another weeks trial with Pats, should play vs Dundalk tonight.

All eircom League of Ireland clubs receive licences

The Football Association of Ireland’s Club Licensing Committee has awarded licences to all 22 eircom League of Ireland clubs for the 2008 season.

All 12 Premier Division clubs have received Premier Division licences, as have three clubs in the First Division who fulfilled the criteria for a Premier Division licence. The remaining seven clubs, including Sporting Fingal, have been awarded First Division licences.

Although St. Patrick’s Athletic were awarded a licence, this was subject to the club submitting further information to the Club Licensing Committee within an agreed timeframe. A financial sanction was also imposed on the club.

All clubs have been notified of the Club Licensing Committee’s decision. Clubs have the right to appeal decisions to the Club Licensing Appeals Body.

The Club Licensing Committee has already awarded “A” Championship licences last November to the new clubs that will be joining the eircom League this season.

Er....what the fúck with SPA?

Kdjac? Any comment?

Submitting dodgy licence applications?

Fines before the season even starts?

Why are they being given extended time?

Double Standards tbh. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Another cock up by the FA-fúcking-I

gimmick

"Bohs" must have done trojan work to sort themselves out in the last few weeks then, unless of course the FAI just chose to look the other way.

Jaysis Des, don't over-react or anything. :rolleyes:

An administrative error by Pats. They have to provide an original of a document. How is that 'double standards'?

Lose the chip, its getting boring.

Bohs problems had nothing to do with licencing.

Well it does, the money they have been spending to bolster there club in recent seasons is coming from that famous developer who bought Dalymount afaik. And Harristown has been having problems lately.

So, are Pats ignoring the wage cap, and just paying fines?

Weird, there were stories of him trying to unsettle two of our players also. Our keeper and best player. WTF is he at?

Is that Savage fella a striker?

Where's Noel "Baresi" Haverty on your list? Is he not making the step up this year, or is he out on loan? He has underage caps doesn't he?

A fooking tenner for a friendly. Seriously.

Damien Lynch - U21 international

Some praise for the FAI and the licencing procedure.

The detail of reporting that clubs in Ireland are required to produce is the same as UEFA would require from Barcelona or AC Milan because the FAI chose to implement the highest level of licensing. For instance, we were asked to produce a written Youth Development Programme and the examples they sent to us were from FC Copenhagen and Borussia Dortmund!

I have to say kudos to the FAI, and the clubs for meeting the specifications (apart from SPA ). IF, and it's a big IF imo, they were all actually met and nothing was swept under the carpet.

That's shocking alright. Galway charged a score into one of their friendlies a while back. I was surprised to find that I had to pay into the Village game. Thought that was a joke! A fiver into a ground where you can watch from outside a railing is taking the piss!

A SCORE is a piss take alright.
