How long before kick off was it changed? I doubt it was the day before the match?Quote:

We're the first to tell anyone that it's a joke.

Ah such a load of ****e, had flights paid for and everything.
Surely Shams have some sort of lease for the stadium, like everyone else that rents council houses?
The homeless hoops are back on the road.
I did wonder why the LOI/rte/MNS hadn't changed the date to friday and was going to post that maybe it hadn't changed. Was going to email LOI but the relevent department never get back anyway.
It is a bit of a disgrace, sorry for those that had booked...
Difficult to keep up with the changes of dates and venue. When Friday looked likely that suited best for me. I'm a fan of both Rovers and the GAA. Will have to choose the trip to Kerry as it could ( most likely) be our last action of the Summer in GAA. Plenty to look forward to in the cups for Rovers. I will say that it is very unfair on the Rovers fans who've had to rearrange flights and their work schedule. Their dedication is taken for granted and disregarded. That is shamefull. That's why there are so many disgruntled ex LoI fans out there. Shams and the FAI should have seen this coming. Also, South Dublin County Council were over the top with their stupid ruling on health and safety. The Hoops would have had the place safe. Maybe the incident in Bray frightened the Co Council. Anyhow, a double over Shams and Kerry would be magic. Sadly, it would also be a miracle.
I'd settle for just the win over Shams, thanks very much;)Quote:

The FAI suspension list says O'Grady is suspensed??

Its for yellow cards as his euro ben is 4 games in europe plus a large fine
So basically the SDCC could act the c*nt with ye and renege on signing a lease and Shams could be homeless yet again??!Quote:

Rock bottom now with Bray. Pats next weekend is one we can win though if Peers returns and Kendrick can slot in beside him. They're no great shakes and we have to start getting results from somewhere. Time is running out for us and confidence must be at a low ebb.
Rovers Line up according to RTE:
Sligo Rovers: 1 Richard Brush; 2 Jason Noctor, 3 Shaun Holmes, 4 Alan Keane, 5 Ger Rafter; 6 Christopher Kelly, 7 Brian Cash, 8 Romauld Boco, 9 Matthew Blinkhorn, 10 Rob Turner, 11 Dean Marshall. Substitutes not used: 12 Rafael Cretaro, 13 Gavin Peers, 14 Danny Keohane, 17 Ciaran Kelly.
It would be interesting to get a sum of appearances for Sligo Rovers for this entire team - My guess approx 200?????
Take out Brush and it'd be about 100!
We were just as good as them first half, then gave away two goals stupidly. The second goal especially, rubbish defending.
For the team we had out, it was a good performance. Blinkhorn looks a good player and up front with Raf would be a good combination. Third goal, they walked through us. If we had a few more players available , definitely could have taken something from the game. Rafter showed some good touches and Marshall also looks OK.
If we had our full team available for the season so far, we'd be up the top of the league. If's and but's though...basically we're the worst team in the division. Suppose it is another one to write off.
Felt very disillusioned at full-time, a couple of pints maybe the reason I'm a bit more optimistic now but next week is a new start....we say that most weeks but this time we have a reason. We'll have Ventre, Ryan, Cretaro, Kendrick, Doyle and O'Grady back definitely. Not sure about Feeney and Peers but with them in the team we should have no problem avoiding defeat against Pat's.
Keep on Mole-ing.
not long back from Tolka...always make a point of NOT coming on here to criticse players..kinda hard tonight....in fairness there was 6 either new or young players in the line up and condsidering shams form lately it was always going to be a tough game..with Raf,Peers,Conor and Ventre back in the team and a little more time for for the new lads to settle in there is plenty to be hopeful about.........am a big believer in the saying if your good enough your old enough and i think tonights game proved a few things.
we are in a dog fight now . no question about it. it will take time for these new players to familiarise themselves with each other. its all about the management skills of paul & gerry now. keeping the players morale up and keeping them focused. the problem now is we are going play a number of games in the next few weeks that create a situation where we must not lose. we now have to stay in touch with the teams above us until these new players begin to gel in. financially we are heading for a crisis as i said before we are beginning to loose some of the hard core support & playing games on a sunday does not help as the gates are bady effected. our only lifeline at the moment is the annual draw so let everybody out there give a hand by either buying the tickets or helping to sell them. i have 50 books the tickets are e10 each. my number is 087 2388215 (m ichael clancy) i posted my number on the board last week but only got 1 reply. come on lads this is your time to show how good supporters yee are
Every week we're saying oh we have injuries and suspensions,when we get everyone back it'll be grand. Lads we are in a relegation battle here and its time to start getting points on the board. Losing becomes a habit and we can't afford to keep hiding behind the excuse of injuries.We need the lads that are brought in to step up and replace these injured players,saying ah we couldn't expect any more with the team we had out etc is only leading us one place!
This is not the time to start panicking though,one win could turn everything around. Hard to see where its going to come from at the moment but i have a lot of faith in cookie and hopefully the new players will help turn things around.
Presuming we stay up a clearout is needed at the end of the season. Too many players there that are not good enough to play for sligo rovers.
ok. my post is not meant in any way to have a go at anybody on this forum. what i am looking for is maybe some people to take a few books & sell the tickets. at the end of the day it is people like you and i who will have to do the fundraising. personally i feel we can still turn it around. we are in the semi final of the league cup & we are playing derry at home in the cup. surely this is enough of an incentive to keep backing the club. we have being unluck with injuries especially with our defence but we must keep things turning over. next weekends game is of huge importance.we will have kendrick and a few more players back. if we can get peers back soon that will make a significant difference. in the main the majority of people who post on this forum have rovers at heart and ultimately will back the club. so keep the faith
and lets give it one more big push and help the club

We were the better team in the 1st half, just got dealt two killer blows at the end of it. Blinkhorn looks good, looking forward to seeing him up front with Raf. Thought the Giraffe did well too. Shams fans singing they're going to win the league:D.
With a load of players back next week, we should be beating Pat's.
Wasn't at the game but I had fun messing with the Shams fans in the ustream chatroom the game was shown in.
So easy..
Shams 3 Shambles 1
Thats quality :rolleyes:Quote:
