If YOU are not part of the solution,
YOU ARE part of the problem
Galway United won 6 - 5 on penalties.
****e game, neither team deserved to win.
Foyzer's first penalty was more of a good save than a bad penalty but his one in the penalty shoot out was poor as was Ventre's.
Dunno why Boco was taken off, and tbh Judge looks very very low on confidence atm. A shadow of when he was on song last season.
****e game, and thats not even getting round to the penos.
Galway, well they've tightened up at the back, but are an absolute horrible football team. And im not trying to antagonise yee, im sure you know this already.
Foyzers two penos were within good reach of the keeper. Dannys went three Hordings wide of the post!!
Bad night all round, never really seemed up for it apart from last 5 mins.
Wasnt a great game neither team deserved the win. I was surprised at Foyzer having two penaltys savedand Judge wasnt very convincing he dosent seem commited to playing for us unlike last season Faz really got into form despite getting tired near the end. Danny Ventre had a dreadful penalty too and those anyone know why Boco got taken off so early ?.
Coleman for Ireland
Hard luck Sligs !
the game was a total bore.very scrappy and very little passing.galway are very poor in fairness and they will struggle to find the net this season i think.we had a couple of chances but due to our performance a defeat probably will act as a good wake up call to the lads before cork.shams was a good win but that effort and football must be produced every week.great performances by almeida,anto,mckensie,raf and butler aswell were all superb imo
boco had a groin injury. judge was pathetic. even if he is low on confidence that does not stop him jumping for headers. at least 10 balls came in his direction and fitzgerald won every header. not even a jump from matthew. if he wants his place in the team he will have to earn it.
I disagree that neither side deserved to win. I thought Rovers did, as we created 3 decent chances (4 if you include the peno)
First chance fell to Murphy (who had a very impressive 2nd half) and he ballooned it over the bar. Second chance fell to Raf, (from a superb pass from Anto) if his touch was better he would have got one on one with Rogers and the third chance was when Raf floated a great ball to Judge, who could only weakly head it into the arms of Rogers.
Defensively we looked sound, at no time did I really believe Galway were going to score. Galway were no better or worse than the last time they visited the Showgies. Except this time nobody was able to produce a wee bit of magic to turn the game.
Had Boco and Anto not gone off injured I think we could have won the game handily.
I do worry now about the fitness of some of the players for the Cork game.
Why didn't Faz take the peno??
"Overwhelmed"
Cork will be happy. Extra time and penalties 3days before we play them.
When was the last time we won on penalties ?
worst penalty ever
"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
'Cause Keith Foy did.
Ventre's effort was funny. I thought he was just kicking the ball away.
Is he not aware the objective of a penalty is to shoot at the goal. If I were Cookie I'd check his trouser pocket for betting slips; surely he had GALWAY TO WIN......
"Overwhelmed"
Oh! thanks
"Overwhelmed"
Game was not helped by the fact that 17 Galway fans came, Rovers fans had to make the atmosphere all by themselves.
I overheard Kenna say something like if only 17 of them travel why are they so bitter
How can you find that funny? We go out of a competition, and your laughing head off.
Funny are you for real Brewer how could think that man?
Edit:misread previous post
Yes it is not funny at all.

Anyways, back to the game.
Anto had a stormer of a game in the middle. What a player and I think he's the creative spark we need to replace Hughes/Turner. He was nearly involved in every chance we created tonight looking at my notes from the game. He's got to play centre midfield from now on.
Notes? are you a coach at the club? GC?
