And don't even think about getting Heff back....not a chance.

what do ye think of Heff? has he played well for ye?:confused:

Heff was the one shining light for us last year would be great if we could get him

Alan Kirby is possibliy the best player for Longford, great player .... when he left Waterford, alot of people at Cork hoped hed end up leeside, but it wasn't to be !! :o :)

Just what we need, slot in beside O'Grady in the centre:cool:

he played right midfield&made ****e of us for 25 mins in league cup game this season. looks like ollie keogh

i think SC will be aiming higher than this with his signings tho

Well it's us he could be joining so he can still do that "something" against ye next season:D

Yeah, but he has to have quality players with him.......;) :p :D

And he has that at Longford?:confused: :D.

If he joins us then, by next season, he will have them, trust me;)*insert another big grin smiley here*

Well done Sligo enjoy the Premier Division:(

Well done, Sligo have been the best team all season.
Welcome back to the "big league." ;)

Kirbs has another year on his deal. Ye have been sniffing around Sean Prunty seemingly but AFAIK his preference would be to stay, however he is out of contract so you never know.

Thanks for the compliments lads, especially from the Harps fans. Would love to see us play each other in the Prem. Would much prefer Shams to go down,hate them. Playing Harps is friendly rivalry but just hate Shams, homeless P*icks

higher than what? kirbs has been one of the better players in the league for up on five years now:rolleyes: you should be so lucky to have him;)

a few points here...

1. congrats lads, good team, great club, great away trip,lookin foreward to seein ye all next year, its a pity i dont have another year left in that bastion of educational excellence that is sligo it, id be able to catch a few of yer games next year...

2. ye do however need to be realistic about next year, ive no doubt that youl be able to mix it with many of the teams in the premier, but your first season in the premier is all about survival, ye shouldent go gettin your hopes up based on a few cup results against st pats etc..

3. the sugestion that the likes of alan are not the kinda playyers ye should be aimin for is a bit ridiculous, attracting good players to a newly promoted team is much harder than you think, and the fact that youve a decent ground and good support counts for little in the transfer market, money speaks, and unless ive missed somethin, ye arent exactly flush wit it.


all the same, as ive stated many times before, i would like to c ye do well next year, and the very best of luck:ball:

Hey IT Sligo is great of course!
ya thats true we might find it hard to attract the top end player but thats always been the case cos of our location we already have about 6 - 7 premier class player but we know only only too well more players are needed there was a definetly a gap in class when ye played us earlier ,its been stated before but we need a pair of wingers , a striker a central midfielder and cover for centre back

.. you've been to Sligo IT, then you need to be lectured by somebody.

It is not a "proper" college :rolleyes:

What is wrong with what he said? Are you not allowed to hate a certain club now?:confused:. He said ye are homeless, is this not true?:confused:. You can dislike any club you want, if you said you disliked us, nobody would criticise you for it because you are allowed hate who you want and it just happens that he hates ye, what's the problem?
