There'll be an interesting decision to be made with Patton. The fella clearly has talent, he was previously on trial with Portsmouth last season I believe. He's at an age where minutes on the pitch would be most beneficial so maybe another loan rather than sitting as 4th choice behind Boyce, Hoban and Mullen. Although things may change there...

And he wasn't even listed in the starting XI or on the bench.

Great news but how does this work practically? GAA pitches are larger than soccer pitches and the markings are different. Will we get use of one of the grass pitches, and repurpose it with new chalk lines?
Tiernan will have to bring his own balls as the GAA ones are different too ;)
Maybe McMullan will be able to cross a GAA ball.

Football pitches vary in dimensions also, I'm sure they will adapt as necessary.
Looking at the photos from training yesterday, it seems like we have use of the southern-most pitch at the complex, which has no GAA markings on it. I imagine/hope we'll be allowed to convert it to our needs.

You are getting very technical now pitch dimensions should be thankful for what we have got.

Could the Owenbeg and Gaa comments be given their own post?
