I don't know how allocation was decided on the Shams side, but if some long-time supporters missed out, an awful lot of fly-by-nights must have got tickets. A lot of the time over the last 22 years (no more than for ourselves, to be fair), regular attendances were only a few hundred - if that was the same hard core, surely there should have been enough tickets.

There seem to be a lot of long-time fans coming out of the woodwork now. I have to hand it to the Hoops - they have a cachet among the media no-one else has. I know of at least one hack whose claims to have "grown up on the terraces at Glenmalure" are complete toss.

Good to see you getting the stadium finally, though, and best of luck in it - from next week. ;)

Is Raf playing tonight , William Hill have him @16/1 for first goal and 6/1 to score anytime seems very generous if he is starting.

I'd be surprised if Raf was on the bench

That 6/1 isn't bad at all , he's 10/3 on PP

I know Ventre is limited but he is definetely not a limited centre half, you got to feel for Peers trying to do four jobs and score goals.

Great support for us though. Colourful and noisy.

That's rather harsh on the lad to be honest

He done ok for his first start.

There were alot worse on show for Sligo tonight. Shaun Holmes was shocking and Danny Ventre was poor

One plus was that Owen Morrison played superbly, he caused Shams problems the entire 2nd half & set up our goal.

A big pitch was made look bigger by our back four playing so deep. This seems to be a trait of Cook's teams, sitting deep allowing the opposition to run at you. After looking pretty solid last week, I have to say that it was one of the worst back four displays in a long time.

I was a little surprised at the Ryan subsitution, I thought he looked the most comfortable on the ball and attempted to play the ball on the ground, which considering the conditions was the best option.

Morrison in the second half looked like he could be a real danger, although there was times when either he or Holmes delayed the cross.

Overall a game to forget.

Well maybe it was because i was in the "Ultras" end of the ground... Have to admit was a fantastic night all round for our crowed but i was expecting sligo to be alot better than that.
