Thank you - I'm pleased that you've started following us 🙂 We have another match tonight and I wouldn't be surprised if there's a fans protest at some point.

The situation is very unfortunate at the moment - we're clearly not a happy group of players which in itself is a complicated problem to solve. Ever since Nicky Hammond left as our Director of Football, we've been signing players who don't fit in. And then paying them far too much money.

When we were successful, we signed young, hungry players from small clubs - Kevin Doyle, Shane Long, Dave Kitson, etc. They weren't from Premier League academies, they were from the school of hard knocks. Irish football, lower league football - all with some talent and potential but had a bit of grit and a lot of determination.
