I'm from Germany and provide some statistics for German site transfermarkt.co.uk. When I looked up for the substitutes benches of last nights game between Sligo and Shamrock, I found out, that there was a Robert Hughes mentioned on sites such as rte.ie or extratime.ie. On Shamrock's site the substitutes 'keeper was mentiones as Robert Duggan. Maybe a Shamrock fan was there last night and can tell me ...?
Furthermore, I need some information about a Galway substitute player, his name is Séamus (?) Friel. Where is he from? Can't find any information about him or a transfer in the off season!
Thank you!
Just to second that, definately Deans goal. Don't know where T.G got McDonagh from, but extra time no doubt got it from him.Quote:

As for your official programme suggesting that Rovers were founded in the mid 2000s by the 400 club, how small minded and ridiculously petty.
You obviously have in your possession a serious collectors item because it must be the only programme where it says that. The article was actually taken from the Official Shamrock Rovers site so I'm sure it's 100% correct. We are only starting out with the programme this year as the lad who used to do a fantastic job for the last number of years has taken a break. But I promise you we will allocate 4 pages for Shams when you come here in July and you can have as much input as you like.
In relation to the crowd, I think that stand holds 900 approx, so if you take out the 200 plus Sligo lads and 100 approx for the empty section, that leaves 600 approx for Shams. As for 1,200, even Our Lord couldn't work that miricle. All the Shams supporters I met ,I thought were sound - one of your own lads reckoned there was between 500 and 600 down at the game.
We now know for certain Mooneys dont water down their drink!!
It was definitely Chris Deans.Quote:

You made a claim, I asked you to substantiate it?Quote:

As for the rest of your post I'm simply not bothered with stuff that ridiculous.
No no, if you and your ilke didnt feel the need to spew your utter arrogance and presumptions about our club then we wouldnt feel the need to challenge you on it.Quote:
It's weird, the Sligo fans I had a pint with before the game were friendly, reasonable, knowledgeable LoI fans. The vast majority of Sligo fans on here are batsh*t crazy.
I was chatting with Shams fans before and after and they didnt talk half the ****e as Shams fans drone on about on the internet.
It still raises a smile that you are lecturing our club about Tax evasion, the word irony just doesnt do it justice.
Haha oopsy daisey jicked.Quote:

TBF it probably was a fair result but I still think that you never really looked like scoring until Man of the Match Buttimer stepped in.Quote:
I think I'm better off just ignoring this place when we play Sligo Rovers, so I'm out of here. Enjoy MNS on Monday night, try not to put your foot through the telly when MON has the temerity to say something outragous such as a draw was a fair result. :)
Disgrace that he is.
just to be clear I said 'suggesting' not that you did explicitly say it, it was just a little odd if doing a piece about the history of a club to start it over 100 years in to the existence thereof.Quote:

If it was a simple mistake then not a problem, though I wouldn't call the piece "history" if you're just going to c&p an article about the last five years or so. From another club I'd put it down as being a mistake, from Sligo I couldn't help but be suspicious :o It's like when your manager has to call us Shamrock three or four times in his notes. It's a little weird, and comes across as a juvenile attempt to try drum up a rivalry out of nothing.
In fiarness Jicked the article does mention that you were relegated for the first time in long and illustrous history in 2005. Don't think they'd have write that if they were trying to suggest the club was only 3 years old at the time. Any Rovers fan upet by the article is looking to be upset IMO
Of course if they took the article from Rovers site withour permission, it brings up a different question
He's hardly going to call you Rovers in a Sligo Rovers programme in fairness. At least he didn't call you Shams!Quote:

Great crowd ye brought which is always good to see in this league.
Surely it would be equally beneficial to declare the correct attendance as this money would all add to turnover which would help keep under the 65%... i doubt any club would be stupid enough, especially fresh after the derry situation to be planning on handing out much money under the tableQuote:
