    Robbie Dunne used to play with us, a decent right winger if nothing particularly special. I don't think he did much with Dundalk in his time there.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    Yeah, Robbie is ex-UCD/Drogs/Dundalk and was a regular fixture in Dublin City's First Division championship-winning team in 2003. Not a Premier Division player. He'll run his balls off for you down the wing, at right full or in the centre of midfield, but his prowess with the ball that counts is very limited. I wish him all the best, but I don't seem him cutting it at the higher level.
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    4 Decent enough sides he has played for so there must be something there. Heard he will run ALL day but not the most skillful or graceful of players. Any way, best of luck to him with us.

    It said he was unattached. Brought in as cover for Chris. Reckon he wont be getting his game unless something serious happens to Chris and the 21's keepers.

    Squad Building is the name of the game at the moment for us.

    Niall Hobbert was last playing for Kildare before they released him a while ago.

    Hobbart is a former team mate of mine when I used to be playing for Tralee Dynamos. Not the tallest of goalkeepers but very broad. He is very strong but for some reason was sometimes afraid to use it.

    He played for the Irish U16 for 2 years in a row and had trials with a few English clubs, Leicester city being one of them.

    He was part of our FAI Youth Cup final win over Stella Maris (Which included Ritchie Baker) in 1998.

    He's a good keeper but always prone to making a hash of things now and again. Very vocal and the defenders would always have sore ear after a game with him in goal.

    He always had the potential but never quite made it to the top.
