Unfortunately the english game is over hyped, over priced and over here. I'm sick to the teeth listening to people speak of english clubs and using the word 'we'. Yet the majority of these 'supporters' never stood in their teams ground. Nearest they get to going to a 'live' game is sitting on a bar stool and shouting at a telly. Following english football for the majority of these so called football fans is only an escuse to go to the pub.
Rant over

i agree that its overpriced but not over hyped. i understand what you mean loads of people in my school support liverpool and man utd they say theer great fans but actaully have never been to a game before. i try to go to between 10-20 games a season. i use the word we because fans are part of the club. many sligo fans im sure also say it.

agree. although there is really nothing we can do about it. the English league is the most poular in the world. over here we've got The Sun with their 20 page pull out,Match Of The Day on at prime time on a Saturday night and Today FM with 'Premiership Live'..all the EL gets is a crappy 3 page(if were lucky) pull out once a week in The Mirror and a badly produced EL Weekly at a time when most people are in bed asleep! As much as we go on about it, i don't think the LOI will ever come near The Premiership or LA Liga etc. although one thing for sure, the EL a hell of a lot more entertaining and exciting when it comes to title run ins/relegation etc. than its foreign competitors! ...my rant over

Conor I'm not hitting at you when I say people us the term 'we' when they talk about 'their' club. I'm on about the local people here in this area. Monday mornings at work all that's missing is the english accent. It's wall to wall english football with we this and we that. It's pathetic, it does my head in and the real annoying thing is one or two of these 'supportes' will ask me how Rovers got on the weekend

As regards the english game being over hyped well it is over here. I grew with the philosophy brits out now we have become a nation obsessed with british football and everyone wants to be part of it.

Support our own I say, support the Rovers

We don't call our team just Sligo, we're Rovers. Sligo are a gaelic team

. I'll let you away with it this once saying as you're new

.

Good song though.

**avvenalaf** · 27/09/2007, 10:48 PM

Don't mind Sligoman. He's in a state of frenzy since Michael McNamara was nominated for a GAA All Star Award.
PS. He'll win it too (Mickey Mc that is)

Too many "follow follow's" in there for me, might as well be in Ibrox!!

Wasn't on long enough really to pass judgement.
He was lively and looked for the ball. Hit the crossbar from close range when it looked easier to score but he did find the space and maybe a few more minutes on the park would have made a difference.
I like his attitude and he'll certainly improve with match practice.

out of ten how good do u think matt is for sligo?

didnt have a great game on friday, he cant do much better, he was just back from injury though so maybe thats why, needless free kick he gave away.
