The point is that clubs that don't win much silverware should jump at an opportunity like this when it arises. With all the other teams in the competition not giving a toss about it, if Sligo actually took it seriously then they could win the thing.. Sure just look at the likes of Wexford and Waterford getting to the final of the league cup in the last two years.
Pretty much as holidaysong said - it wasn't meant to be disparaging. A club genuinely challenging for the title maybe excused resting players, but a club in Sligo's position should be grabbing the opportunity. The fact that they're not, shows how poorly the competition is regarded by clubs.
Despite that, we still top the group! :eek:Quote:

You as a dundalk fan should know about the graveyard that is the first division and the apathy shown by sponsors towards it . There is a good chance that setanta may not be around next year and even if they are the prizemoney is negligible.
Instead of looking at sligos situation from the out in, you should look at sligos situation from our clubs point of view and how we deal with our difficult league position
