apparently we signed a new player(courtesy of our old friend RT on the new forum)
Sligo Rovers are pleased to announce the signing of Romauld Boco, a Benin international, recently returned from representing his country at the African Nations Cup in Ghana. Rovers manager, Paul Cook was delighted with the news.
“Romauld is central midfielder / striker – I didn’t think I’d get him, I thought that he’d be out of our reach but, thankfully we’ve secured him. I don’t want to put pressure on him, but I’m certain that the fans will see that he is the real deal and with the other signings that we’ve made, I believe that we’re in for a very exciting season.
“I’d like to put on record my thanks to the committee. They’ve really shown that they are determined to bring the kind of players in that will bring this club forward.,” he concluded.

Delighted he's signed, already a cult hero;)
Great signing. I'd say cookie is a lot more positive now because it seemed that he really wanted to get him
great signing,
im glad me mentioning his name on here before anything was signed didnt effect his decision.:p
The way Cook was talking about him is very positive
thats great news
Benin flag anyone? their jersey is available in The Soccer Shop on George's Street in Dublin! :D

A good centre half should have been a priority.....hopefully we will get one in
and quite a job im doing :cool:Quote:

You have got a very good footballer in Rommy!:ball:
Always gives a 100% and a true Gent!
Sad to see him go:(
I hope he does the business for you and hope you have a Great Season:)
I will follow your Season with interest as I am sure will a few other Stanley fans
Maybe we could perhaps look at starting up fan bases for both teams on each side of the Sea?
anybody know how many years boco has signed for?
Couldn't find anywhere online to buy their jersey. As for the flag, it was bought last night:D.Quote:

He played a few games for us last season and looked a decent player, I think the Club did a trip to Spain and Almeda came back with the Club on a short term contract, not 100% sure but I also thought he was at Swindon earlier this Season:)
Only 5ft 9", we'll have two fairly small center halves if we do sign him
Anyone hear anything about Mark Rossitor signing
nota thing. would we need a right back/midfielder? not sure if hes played centre back before like, so would be brought here as a full back or winger....and we have coleman, cash, raff and murphy on the right already, id still love him to come, he's qualityQuote:

Hopefully he'll be signed in time for AthloneQuote:
Former Accrington Stanley midfielder Romauld Boco, is due to fly to Ireland this weekend to conclude his transfer to Sligo Rovers, currently managed by former Stanley man Paul Cook.
doubt theres a time limit as its a friendly, even players on trial can play afaik
almeida look pretty decent tonight i thought, didnt have much to do but was commanding enough
Almeida looks like he will sign a contract later this week. Moore still in talks and Feeney still training with Rovers.
can someone remind me when where and when we had steve feeney - the rings a bell , was he part of the squad that won the first division under super seanie
Steve, who is a local lad, joined the club when Don O'Roirdan was in charge and stayed for three or four seasons including the season we got promoted but I think that was his last season with us. He was a versatile player who played mainly centre half or centre midfield and on occasions up front. He scored a good few goals from midfield and I suppose best remembered for his extra time winner against Shels in the 2003 FA Cup third round in Tolka Park and if I am not mistaken he received a second yellow card in the last minute of that game but was not sent off by the referee.
that was Gareth Gorman who should have been sent off - who then delivered the set-piece which Feeney headed in.Quote:

I think it was for those reasons Shels did not lodge an objection to the result of the game but they were looking for financial compensation due to the incident and ever since that mistake by the match referee both assistant referees now record any bookings in matches as well as the referee.Quote:

No, neutrino's right. Gorman set up the goal when really he should have been in the dressing room. That's why Shels lodged a complaint saying Gorman influenced the result.Quote:
