Keith Gilroy

[Mitch Buchanon]

Did anyone see his goals on Sky Sports 1 last night? 2nd one was class. Burton Albion 4 Burscough 1.

Man Utd in the next round and I'd say the BBC will show it live, they love that magic of the FA cup stuff.

Fair play to Keith he's got his chance now.

[gustavo]

Did anyone noticed who he scored the goals past:)

Interesting thread here (http://burscoughfc.proboards22.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1133919130)

[Royal rover]

[gustavo]

He played for us for one seaon under Jim McInally then he went to Middlesborough was released by them then onto S****horpe Darlington and now plays for Burton Albion. would be a good acquisition in the future.

[The Stars]

[sligoman]

There's a bit on Aertel about him and how he wished Roy Keane was still at United so they could swap shirts afterwards:D.

[sligofootball]

I seen his 2 goals on sky sports this morning. they were well taken. hopefully someday he will be back at the showgrounds:rolleyes:

[gustavo]

[SligoBrewer]

Because Keith will never leave a club of the calibur of Burton Albion for Rovers!

Delira bout the result!

Gilroy is Burton's handyman
By William Johnson
(Filed: 08/12/2005)


Keith Gilroy, who did more than any Burton Albion player to secure the financial jackpot of an FA Cup third-round tie against Manchester United, had no time for celebration after his two-goal heroics against fellow non-Leaguers Burscough.



Gilroy, a former Republic of Ireland Under-21 winger, was up bright and early on a frosty morning yesterday, to earn some Christmas spending money helping to spruce up his club's impressive new Pirelli Stadium.

Darren Stride, Burton's captain and scorer of the second of their four goals on Tuesday, is a building contractor by trade and he is working hard both on and off the field for the Nationwide Conference team. His current day job is putting the finishing touches to the 6,000-capacity ground which opened only three weeks ago. Gilroy, 22, is a willing apprentice.

''It helps to pass the time," said Gilroy, trying to present a carefree approach to the excitement of earning the right to entertain the 11-time Cup winners in what should be a fascinating televised tie next month. "There is still quite a lot to do around here."

Sligo-born Gilroy, who was a non-playing member of the Scarborough squad when they hosted Chelsea in a fourth-round tie two seasons ago, said: "That was a big day in my career but I was suffering from a serious injury at the time and felt a bit out of it. This one will be far bigger."

Gilroy is proud to call himself a lifelong United fan and named Roy Keane as his boyhood hero. "Knowing we're going to be playing them in January means we can have a great Christmas," he added.

However he pointed out that, weather permitting, Burton have six more matches scheduled before they play United. "The manager [Nigel Clough] will not lose sight of the fact that the league is a priority and he will not let us think about playing them until that tie comes along," he added.

There should be plenty of time for more odd-job work before the showpiece occasion but touching up the paintwork is the least of Burton's worries as they prepare for the biggest day in their 55-year history. Their initial plan is to stage the game at their quaint but small new home, though they are happy to leave a final decision on that to the authorities.

Ben Robinson, the Burton chairman, adopted the stance of someone in a no-lose situation as he spoke enthusiastically about what promises to be a memorable occasion at the Pirelli. If that plan is vetoed on safety or security grounds, they will simply settle for multiplying the number of paying customers by five by moving down the road to Derby's Pride Park.

"We want to make sure the Burton supporters who come to see us week in and week out get to see their team on what will be the greatest day in the club's history," said the chairman.

Robinson and his Burton directors are already budgeting for their £150,000 television fee and the numerous spin-offs that a meeting with United provides. He promised that the extra money will be re-invested in the club which he hopes will one day employ full-time professionals.

Clough, the former England international striker and son of the late Brian Clough, was determined to keep his emotions in check after the euphoria of a 4-1 second-round replay victory over Unibond League side Burscough.

''There is no point in me talking about United because I might not be here by then," he quipped, referring to the sticky patch he went through in September when he team slumped to the bottom of the Conference table.

[Red Soldier]

[SligoBrewer]

Have you been over to the pirelli often brewer

First time... but i am a young brewer...

[feo123]

How did ya say ya started supportin them?? fare play t'ya for supportin a team from the lower divisions...

[sligoman]

So Brewer, Rovers in the final of the FAI Cup or Burton in the final of the FA Cup? You could get a ticket to both, but they're on the same day so who do you choose?:confused:

Think about it for a while if you need to;)

[SligoBrewer]

Who are burton playing in de fa cup???

What round???

Obviously if we were playing Canvey Island in the 4th Qualifying round...

[feo123]

Just seen on sky that the game is live on sky sports on Sunday the 8th of january! wonder will we put out a full strenght XI, dont want another Exeter job!! we should play all the big names and then if we are comfortably winning, take 3 off and breed a few younsters!

[SligoBrewer]

Not a hope feo, what are you thinking at???

With 33,000 fans behind us in Pride Park, those youngsters are going down.
Going Down to Chinatown.

We already beat Man U earlier on in the season. Can do it again.

[gustavo]

a lot of conflicting "we's" going on for a Sligo Rovers forum:)

[The Stars]

about to say the same thing....Are Sligo Brewer and feo123 English?

[Red Soldier]

Not a hope feo, what are you thinking at???

With 33,000 fans behind us in Pride Park, those youngsters are going down.

Im fairly sure its on in the Pirelli Stadium which only holds 6000,ya should do some homework on gettin a ticket before you go over there,it could be tough.

hope ya know of the Anti Irish attitude and slagging of Sligo Rovers and the eircom League that is going on in that board in your sig!

[1 9 2 8]

hope ya know of the Anti Irish attitude and slagging of Sligo Rovers and the eircom League that is going on in that board in your sig!
Yeah a shower of racist cúnts

[sligoboy]

Kevin doyle possibly one of the best players in the championbship at the moment with Reading. He was playing league of Ireland last year with cork!! Did he become a good player the day he moved to Reading i think not so that means our league has good players i'd say, so where do all these burton albion supporters come out with the comments i've seen on their message boards about our league being so bad. After all there best player played here, and no desrespect to keith didn't seem to have things as easy when playing with rovers i remember. He was playing against better teams here even then and i feel the standard has risen dramatically since. :D

[SligoBrewer]

he could easily be a full time pro here . its strange .


He's one of Burtons few full time professionals.

[SligoBrewer]

hope ya know of the Anti Irish attitude and slagging of Sligo Rovers and the eircom League that is going on in that board in your sig!

Ya i know... but they just want to hold on to Keith.

[sligoman]

Ya i know... but they just want to hold on to Keith.So it's ok to make anti Irish comments just so they can hold onto their player? He's Irish himself so it doesn't seem too logical to me.

[sligoman]

Who are burton playing in de fa cup???

What round???
They're both in the final of the cup and who they're playing is irrelevant.

[SligoBrewer]

They're both in the final of the cup and who they're playing is irrelevant.

It would have to be rovers.

Although it is highly highly unlikely that both the F.A Cup Final and the F.A.I. Cup Final will be played on the same day.:eek: ;)

[redtildead]

I was watchin Keith on football focus this morning and its great to see a local lad gettin some recognition

[Da Real Rover]

After reading the trash on that message board, i cannot wait until Utd knock the living sh!te out of that pub team, regardless of keith. They are racist scum and deserve to be treated like that.

Cheers, tis great to be a racist. All brewers are racist.:eek:


maybe this could be the start of something deep and meaningful between our clubs?

There are a few bad eggs in every group of supporters.
Even Rovers ones.
