I disagree. You have to do what's best for the team. Shorthall CB and Kenna LB would be better than Kenna CB and Ryan LB.

was i imagining it or did kenna put in some strong performances at right back towards the end of last season?

Yeah, he did well there while Mahon was injured.

Dman, obviously we have to pick the strongest back line. We're just arguing that we'd much rather see someone step up at left back and free Kenna to play in the middle than the alternative. If there's no one else good enough, he'll be played there.

Pretty much sums up my position. He's an adequate left back but a good right back and superb centre half. Keith Doyle was a better left back than Kenna and Kenna's a better centre back than Shorthall, hence the disappointment with the situation.

Players in so far:

Gregg
Sully
McCaul
O'Reilly

Anyone else we're signing? We've lost a good few more players than what we've brought in.

Today's Irish Times reports Shels hav signed O'Reilly.

FFS

Did the club confirm that as being official?

Rumours on the Longford forum that they've signed Sully.

**pineapple stu** · 28/02/2007, 5:19 PM

Sully was expressly confirmed as not official, but I was told I could put it on the website as it may as well be complete.

Maccer couldn't remember yer man's name, but knew who I was talking about and didn't say anything about him not signing. Very strange one, that. It's clearly the right name from the photo on the Bohs forum.

Sullivan has signed for us and played 90 minutes for us tonight against Athlone.

That's a kick in the balls.

**Longfordian** · 01/03/2007, 1:09 AM

Yup signed his contract after the game tonight

**John83** · 01/03/2007, 12:11 PM

Damn. I was looking forward to seeing Sully playing for us again.

**DmanDmythDledge** · 02/03/2007, 6:24 PM

Scott Weir and Shane Fitzgerald were signings from Bohemians. Both were U-21s, with Fitzy making four sub appearances last season and two the season before.

Shane McCaul is in fact Shane McFaul, who has previously played for Notts County and Virginia something or other.

**Poor Student** · 02/03/2007, 6:32 PM

Well, McFault played 31 times for Notts County from 2003-2005. They were relegated to League Two in 2004. He played 6 games for the Virginia Beach Mariners in 2006. They play in the USL First Division which is the United States' 3rd flight. I know the US 2nd flight is of a fairly weak standard so that's not great. But he's only 20 and is a Cherry Orchard product and he has first team experience and he's also a big lad. Has anyone seen him play?

As for the other two, well Kavanagh was a Bohs U-21 cast off.
