Thats strange, I can't think of Rovers fans having been involved in any real trouble with the Gardaí in a couple of seasons.

[Boo_Boy]

Rovers 2 - 0 Shams!

:D

Almeida with another goal!

The whole Rovers/Shams thing is amazingly cringeworthy, and really makes the Sligo fans look very small time.

It's pretty annoying alright, especially when Sligo fans are the only ones who use "Shams".

[Jicked]

Re Boo Boy:
The way Sligo fans take every possible chance to refer to Shamrock Rovers as the Shams, and get in to numerous arguments about how they're apparently the only team who can be called Rovers.

I've always called them Shams, does it really make a difference?

Bohs fans call them ' The Scum ' but nobody has a problem with that:rolleyes:

Unless i can be banned for calling them Shams i'll continue to do it.

[Jicked]

Crikey, Im hardly saying you should be banned for doing it, it just makes you look like a bit of a twit, and your support a bit small time, is all.

[Buller]

Rovers 2 - 0 Shams!

:D

Almeida with another goal!

Something has seriously gone wrong this season...

[Boo_Boy]

Please explain how it makes me look like a twit & my support a bit small time.

Its natural, i was brought up around people calling them Shams, and its natural for Sligo Rovers supporters to call their team Rovers, like every other team(Cork City fans call their team City etc.)

I honestly couldnt care what they were called.

Cork fans call their team Cork, Derry call theirs Derry, Galway call theirs Galway, Bray call theirs Bray, but you don't call yours after your town's name. Not exactly very many NL teams in Sligo, is there?? :confused:

[Jicked]

They're not called Shams, no-one apart from a few Sligo fans on here calls them Shams.
On here Sligo fans seem to take every opportunity to fit the word Shams in to any sentence possible, and seem to revel in making cringey statements along the lines of "Why do Bohs hate Rovers when we're on the other side of the country...I thought you hated Shams hahaha". It really seems to appear that one of Sligos big gripes is over the fact that the most succesful/one of the most famous clubs in the country are referred to Rovers, instead of Sligo.


....plus what mypost said above!

Cork fans also call their team "City" as do Derry fans.

[HarpoJoyce]

Sligo Rovers FC now 3-0 up.

I've never seen a Sligo Rovers fan say anything like that on here.(Can you direct me to a post please?)

Should i just refer to Shams as 'The Scum' from now on?, it would get very confusing for people if it was Rovers v Rovers

example: Rovers had a great chance there, but the keeper made a great save.

who am i talking about?, im not going to start call Rovers 'Sligo', so when im talking about both clubs its going to be Rovers - Shams, when a Shams fan is talking about how Rovers dominated them at the showgies (:p) it will be Rovers - Sligo.

damn i've got a pain in my head:D

[Boo_Boy]

3 - 0 up Boco!

Sligo defence was distracted by what name to call their opponents.

Doyle pulls one back for Shams

Quicker than you could say "Shhhhh......."


I have always known Sligo fans to describe the hoops as Shams. I don't have a problem with it.

[Boo_Boy]

3 - 2

Shams also down to 10 men

EDIT:
Flynn sent off for hitting Alan Moore when he was warming up:D

FT: Rovers 3 - 2 Shams, Shams nearly equalised in the 4th minute of added time, ball cleared off the line.

When talking to other Cork City fans I would always refer to them as City.

TBH everyone i know would use the term City almost always rather then Cork.

[Aaron]

If someone said to me Rovers were 2-0 up, I would automatically think of Shamrock Rovers, not Sligo. Gets confusing when Sligo fans say Rovers

[sligoman]

Cork fans call their team Cork, Derry call theirs Derry, Galway call theirs Galway, Bray call theirs BrayCork, Derry and Galway-No. Don't know about Bray
we are a city:pEh, no we're not:confused:.
Gets confusing when Sligo fans say RoversAwww...oh well:p.

[dcfcsteve]

And Sligo is a City;)

Since when....? :confused:

P.S. Shams is the gayest team nickname ever.....

[sligoman]

P.S. Shams is the gayest team nickname ever.....Makes it more fun to use it so:p

[Jicked]

Makes it more fun to use it so:p

A great example of how it makes Sligo look small time.

[sligoman]

A great example of how it makes Sligo look small time.Say what you like. Sligo = GAA team. We = Rovers. Shamrock Rovers = Shams. It doesn't bother me what the rest of the league calls them, nothing will change that.

EDIT: That 'makes it more fun to use it so' comment was a joke btw. dcfcsteve said it's gay, I didn't.

[kdjaC]

I call them shams as it annoys them, they call us junkies. Tis a fair compromise.

This whole childish (or as one genius devastatingly terms it, 'small-time') exchange started with some troll deciding to tell Sligo Rovers (clear enough?) supporters how they should refer to their own and other teams. This was followed by a very ill-informed post about what fans in other towns call their teams.
I grew up in Sligo. I refer to my team as Rovers, like the way most fans refer to their teams by the nickname rather than the location. Therefore, Shamrock Rovers were always going to be referred to as something else. To me, it doesn't matter whether every other person on the planet means the Dublin side when they say Rovers - I have a very pragmatic reason for calling them what I do. As to whether this sounds 'small-time', 'gay' or anything else, for god's sake grow up, lads.
I'd say what Sligo people call his team is fairly low down Pat Scully's list of worries tonight.

[Rovers1]

who really gives a sht what you call your team.. we should just call our team by thier letters... We are SRFC......oh wait....:(

[eelmonster]

we are a city


:confused:

Good result for Sligo.

[Rovers1]

Sligo is not a city lads...

[skitz3]

Rovers = Shamrock Rovers

[Rovers1]

Rovers = Shamrock Rovers

for you..yes, but for the people of this town, every time we hear "Rovers"..we think Rovers of the Sligo variety.

when you hear "City" or "United"...do you think Manchester or "Derry/Cork/Galway/Waterford"?

[RonnieB]

you can call a pig a pony but is still a pig.

Cork fans call their team Cork, Derry call theirs Derry, Galway call theirs Galway, Bray call theirs Bray, but you don't call yours after your town's name. Not exactly very many NL teams in Sligo, is there?? :confused:

Ahh no we dont !!

Cork City FC are called City in Cork, and anyone that refers to City as Cork is not from Cork. There is one journo that calls City Cork and he is castigated for it, and rightly so. There is only one club called City and its Cork City FC, all the others are called Derry, Galway, Kilkenny. Bray isn't really talked about but when it is normally about buckets and spades and tacky seaside 'resorts' and the club wouldn't feature much in conversation, even among locals there.

City is City, end of.

In Sligo, Shams are Shams, end of.

[Boo_Boy]

end of.

exactly, can we lock this?, it was to discuss tonights football but that didnt happen.

[deecay]

Some of ye lads need to get a life,complaining about what Sligo Rovers fans call another team that ye do not support:rolleyes:

In Sligo we are Rovers,and Shamrock Rovers are Shams
