I may quit my job to ask how much it is for the "unwaged" tomorrow for the craic.

A tenner, most of Inchicore is "unwaged", they are charging their own fans the same as normal people. :D

Danny Murphy close to returning to Cork.

Looks like as good a squad ever assembled by Cork City.

I'd make us favourites at this stage.:)

redzerdrog

anyone got the prices for the league this year?

gimmick

We are €15 again. Possibly €20 for the covered part of the Donie Forde, though I assume thats for home fans only.

Sean Prunty has had to take time off from the game due to them finding some problem with his heart. Was feeling unwell at the Drogheda training camp and upon some tests being done they discovered this. Hope he makes a good recovery and doesnt end up having to retire.

At least they found it when they did, could have been another sad story otherwise.

Better off retiring if they can't fix it tbh.

Fifteen sheets, tenner for students/OAPs

Danny Murphy re-signs with Cork City today.

Squad is looking very strong at the moment

GK:
Devine, McNulty

Defenders:
Horgan, Murray, Lordan, Sullivan, Kelly, Woods, Mulcahy, Danny Murphy, Darren Murphy, Ryan

Midfield:
Healy, Gamble, O Callaghan, Kearney, Farrelly, O Brien, Meyler *, Softic

Forwards:
Mooney, Flynn, Behan, Carroll, Kiely

* This guy is only doing his leaving cert, so may not figure too much early on in the season. But he is signed to a full time already. He will make a big impact this season on the right wing.

Drogheda United Football Club are happy to announce that the club have signed Senegalese striker Ibrahima Thiam Iyane, pending international clearance.

The centre-forward, who has been on trial with the club for the last few weeks, impressed in the recent friendly defeat to Wisla Krakow at the club's training base in Spain and has been rewarded with a permanent deal.

Thiam is a Senegalese Under 23 international, representing his country in the 2004 Olympic qualifiers. At 6' 6" in height, he provides a different kind of threat to the already terrifying United frontline. But Paul Doolin has stressed that even though he is "a giant", he's not just a big target man. "I was impressed with Ibrahima against Wisla Krakow. He's a giant, but he's very mobile too, and he adds something different to the team."

Ibrahima himself was happy to be signing for the club, saying "Everyone here has been very good, the players are all friendly and it is a good team. I'm looking forward to the new season with Drogheda United."

Ibrahima has officially signed and the club are now awaiting international clearance for the former Paris Saint Germain and Lens star to be available to play.

delighted he's back. he said on redfm this evening that paul doolin phoned him this morning, but he had to politely decline! said derry, bohs, swindon and leeds all interested too.

a class act on the pitch, and a gent off it. thrilled he's home, the news has made my day.

Can't wait for the season to start.

What do you think? Is this potentially a better team than '05?

Better squad for definite IMO.

Only weakness maybe cover a centre back

gimmick

Plenty cover at centre half. There is Mulcahy, Lordan and Kelly.

The squad is better IMO, but our manager will not be able to do a good enough job. He is making nice soundbites, but I cannot see him being successful at City.

dunno about it being better, in 05 we had kevin doyle the best centre forward in the league, alan bennett, the best centre half in the league, and roy o'donovan, the best winger in the league.

rigth side of midfield is a concern, george won't fancy playing out there and will probably throw a stop if he does. centre half doesnt really bother me, i think cillian lordan can do the business there.

i think mathews will do a good job, but only time will tell

Is he that good? Or is this Cork bias?

There's no probably about it, imo. If George doesn't get his own way he'll be off.

Nah, that's a decent squad, but the only thing Matthews knows is hoofball.

I'm just waiting for the circus when Dolan comes back.

DesF wrote: »

Remains to be seen really. He scored in all but 2 of our 7 pre season games. Looks fast, strong and agile. He has been a star in the U21s last season, thats why he has been given a full time deal so early and promoted to the first team squad.

Now the one area where he may fall down is apparently he has an awful attitude. Very cocky, very arrogant. He has gotten himself sent off a lot for the 21s.

I think if he keeps his attitude in check, which will probably forced on him niow that he is no longer the big fish, we will have a fantastic young player here.

Was it Matthews or the previous manager who gave him the shot?

You want a list of players who have played for your club who are like this?

Nice one. I look forward to seeing him develop.

Apparently Scouse rang Shels looking to be taken back too :eek:

wtf, Fitzpatrick is on a grand and ahalf p/w at Pats?

How the fook are yiz keeping inside the 65% Turnover with wages like that for squad players?

What kind of money are the first-teamers on?

KdjaCL

Keane on 3, Fahey on 2800, bomber on 1800, ndo 1600 and car etc:

2 have to go to make room for a loan striker from a certain irish EPL side.


No way we inside the 65% wage cap unless special k buying 1000 raffle tickets every week and 9879 large ebottles of bulmers. but looking at our board we have 3 accountants from companies worth millions, obviously very creative ones.

Gavin "shels"

New signings for Shels.

Greg O'Halloran (on loan)
John McGuinness
Fred Davis Jnr.
Max Cream
Kevin Cornwall

The last 4 players mentioned have been on trial with us, the first 2 are keepers and the other 2 are midfielders, with Max being a striker aswell.

Our final squad for the coming season is available here:

Good name though.

Did youhear the story of how he got his trial?

Gavin shels wrote: »

Kevin Cornwall

Heh, he was a triallist last night, and I asked Anto Flood who he was before Flood came on, he didn't even know his name.

Looks a better forward than that Cream sham though.

KdjaCL

Max cream was on trial with us last week , awful awful player awesome name tho.

Rogers gone to fingal as a coach/player/crest kisser till summer when he goes to shrewsbury.


Hope Cornwall is only on loan, looks a decent player.

Dermot Keely and Fred Davis. Both of them have been going around getting "sponsership" of companies of €60 a month (I think) to pay for wages. Hence how we offered Rutherford when are €7,500 budget was reached. Fair play to Dermot and Fred.

Didn't Max Cream ring Shels for a trial before the Pats game or something like that?

Apparently, Joe Casey was having his email inbox cleared of Spam. V14gra ads. Enlarge YORE D1ch stuff. He saw this "Max Cream" and though it was another Spam email, but the guy who was helping him clear the inbox clicked it open, and it was this dude, asking for a trial :D

Max Cream?! FFS. Best footballer's name EVER!

oh my God, there is Cream all over the box.... Cream shoots, Cream scores!

if this scheme had worked fair play to them, they must have alot of companies on board this. the squad looks far stronger now and should be there and there abouts and the end of the season

Other transfers

Badge Kisser Rogers to Sporting Franchise
Ger Rowe to Bray
Clive Delaney to Derry

Ah rats, its only the Blackburn reserves coming over. Was hoping to have a word with Gamst Pederson. The lads form has deserted him this year. I reckon I could have helped him by pointing out a few simple things he's doing wrong. Ah well, it wasn't to be.

• Gunnar Nielsen
• Anthony Kane
• Edward Nolan
• Joshua O'Keefe
• Dean Winnard
• Gavin Gunning
• Aaron Doran
• Alan Judge
• Jamie Clarke
• Raffaele De Vita
• Jonathan Flynn
• Maceo Rigters
• Alexander Marrow
• Marcus Marshall
• Kris Paterson

Not too much to get excited about there.

Dundalk doing ok pre-season. Drawing with Bohs, losing narrowly to Rovers and beating Pats. AIB have got on board the Dundalk Glory train and are sponsoring th elilywhites this season. Shrewd move by the bankers.

I'm guessing Cornwall is permanent because iin the release on the Shels website it says about Greg O'Halloran and in brackets it says on loan.
I'd imagine if we had of signed Cornwall on loan it would of said it there too.

Could be wrong though.
