Its not really a smart comment, just genuine shock. How are they going to afford this longterm?

I think they looked at it and decided to spend now and get out of the 1st instead of spending more over a few years trying to. Bucko thinks one of the things he needs to do to get to the Prem is to go full time. to many players missing training and turning up late for matches last season ie: Hynes stuck in London and arrived 5min before the game Vs pats replay.
and others late and missing away games because they could not make the team bus all because of work.it gos on in other clubs im sure but going full time cuts this out.

Going full time will help considerable with gelling the team together faster. Their fitness levels will be greater than most of the other teams in the division. This will give Sporting another advantage (along with the players we sign) over the other teams in the division. Dont get me wrong, I am a bit worried we might be over stretching a little bit but ill cross that bridge if it comes.

Any more news on friendlies and will any be at morton. Are we having one against Derry

Looking for an edge in fitness and to help fight the predicted gelling problems with so many signings. Don't have to be full time to go up sure, but it helps.

Do Fingal fans honestly not give a fiddlers about how their club is run?

NO. Shels fans do enough of that, so we dont have to. Cheers on that by the way.;)

DSB · 21-01-2009 1:17am

You're very welcome. If only I'd gotten there sooner with your beloved Leeds;)

What. Are you implying that leeds over spent, thus sending the club into a spiral down the leagues which may take 10 years to recover from.
Oh my god im starting to see a pattern in the teams i support.:D

Rizzla King · 21-01-2009 3:45pm

No way Leeds can be compared to an Eircom League Team. The FA are run that little bit better then our FAI.;)

Fingal have made some quality signings and I'm gonna tip them for 1st, in saying that I'm hearing stuff that leads me to believe you will be playing PD football this season. The stadium though is a drawback I'm hearing also.

Any light you cna shed on this?

Eh no. Sorry

First I heard of it. Personally I hope thats not the case. I would much rather win the 1st div and earn the right to go up.

Lamper.sffc · 21-01-2009 4:32pm

Hey sporting man.
Any idea whats up with the Sporting Fingal website. Hasnt been an update in ages. The site needs some improving to be honest. Any new potential fans may be looking up the club on the inter web. The site does not paint a very good picture of the club. Lacking in info.

There were sounds made about it ,down to a lot of ifs and buts dont know names but i heard there could be two Prem teams with no choice but to apply for the 1st next season and only Fingal saying they would take one of these places if there going. as i said these are only here say at the moment but i have seen things happen with the league we will never explain wait for next week to see hows granted what.

I spoke to Colim it should be updated soon,waiting to get it all done together new players,fixture list ect.

Rizzla King · 21-01-2009 6:57pm

Yeah, I knew I heard right. I think it would be disgraceful on the FAI's behalf to let you lot go up ahead of us or Waterford. But they have ways of dealing with things which I wouldn't want to call into question.

DSB · 21-01-2009 10:32pm

That is all just hearsay. The FAI might be bad, but they aren't going to blatantly disregard rules that the whole league is well aware of. It will be ranked according to league finish last season. Anyone who can't get a Premier Licence won't go up. But UCD and Shels will almost definitely get 1.

Pineapple stu · 22-01-2009 12:23am

Fri. 13 19:45 Derry City 0 - 0 Sporting Fingal The Brandywell Friendly

Why Waterford? We finished ahead of them.

Anyway as i said, I hope this doesnt happen

Will Conan Byrne be going full time or keeping his marketing job next season?

Id imagine he could do both.

DSB · 04-02-2009 8:26pm

How would he pull that one off?

I dont know if he is or not. (going fulltime that is)
But the routines of a full time footballer do not take up a full day. He can carry on doing his job when not training. If the work load requires more hours he can delegate or work longer hours. I dont know what the work ethic of Conan is but if its anything like what he does on the pitch then i wouldnt be worried and neither should you. Nice of you to worry though. Shows you care.

Latest signings are:
Alan Kirby from St. Patrick's Athletic and Gareth Whelan from Drogheda Utd.
League of Ireland fans will know Alan well but maybe not so Gareth.
He is 21-year old centre-back with ten appearances for Drogheda's first team.
Manager Liam Buckley said: "These are two vital signings for us. Alan is a player with considerable experience in the League of Ireland and is a huge addition.
Gareth is a someone I have been looking at for several months and am delighted he has come on board. He is a player I think we develop even further into an established defender.
The squad list (so far) is:
Darren Quigley (loan)
James Hussey
Brian Gannon
Shaun Williams
Gareth Whelan
Philip Byrne
Stephen Paisley
John Frost
Shane Mc Faul
Shaun Maher
Fiachra McArdle
Colm James
Conan Byrne
Alan Kirby
Daniel Corcoran
Ross Gaynor
Robbie Doyle
Eamon Zayed
Gary O'Neill

Also, there has been a pre-season programme scheduled but a lot of this is provisional. The weather is also having an affect on this but I will post it when confirmed.
