I hear there is more reports of dodgy stewarding from sligo again, with one steward flicking a cigarette butt at one of the galway supporters and then made a swing at another galway supporter before the other stewards had him removed !
Another hefty fine for the sligwegians on the way ?
I saw the incident. He flicked a cigarette into the Galway fans and then shadowed a headbutt at the supporters standing at the wall. In fairness it was like having the Burbury Muppet stewarding in Terryland. There was one steward in a black jacket who seemed to be private security and he was well on top of things straight away and informed the event controller. Twas a nothing incident but it didnt need to happened and was the only nasty incident during a great trip.

Was in Sligo on Saturday evening and would a few observations;
- Overall, could not be disappointed with a draw.
- Team effort and fighting spirit was excellent.
- Pitch very average. Ball seemed to move very slowly and players were taking huge divots in the tackle which could have led to injuries.
- Supporters made plenty of noise and got well behind the team.
- Seamus Coleman.....What a player... As good an opposition as I have seen play against Galway...surely bigger and brighter things await this 19 year old...
- John Russell is having an excellent patch at the moment.
- Jay O'Shea seemed a bit isolated in the first half.
- At the moment, (as was the case on Saturday) we are playing with four central midfielders in midfield and it showed on Saturday evening with Foley tending to pull inside from the left and Coleman bombing on from right full.
- Would leave O'Shea on the right of midfield and go two up front.....and in my opinion that would be Glynn and Faherty or Glynn and Russell....Our Danish friend, for all his efforts, comes up a bit short..
- Davoren is a good option on the left...
- Rogers played really well and his handling was superb
- Alan Keane centre-half.....????????????????
- John Lester typifying team spirit and playing really well and bursting a gut for the cause..
- Great finish from Cretaro though way defense opened up was like a scene from the gospel and the parting of the waves.
- Stewards handling of misbehaving steward was good though think Sligo need to investigate and act accordingly.
- If we fail to stay up, think the likes of Russell and O'Shea and Lester wil be snapped up..and more luck to them...
- Will be watching tomorrow on Aertel and hoping for the right result
Meant to say that myself, Russell was immense the other night. He seems to have toughened up recently too. I spotted him down the prom running last week, putting in extra fitness work. He is up for the fight.Originally Posted by ShamTalk

Galway United - Connacht Champions 2008
I thought Rogers and Lester were excellent the last night and wouldnt knock Fitzy too much thought it was one of his better games.
We are the Galway Boys Stand up and make some noise"
It's live on GBFM, Sham.
Agree about Rogers. He's playing to his potential at the moment. Rustler is a superb player too. Murphy has had his day in the sun too.
I watched the first half in the new stand; the Sligo folk are very welcoming and were, to a man, hoping that we don't get relegated.
The steward who flicked his fag butt in to the stand was a complete tit. He should be banned from the Showgrounds. All of the other stewards went about their business in a professional manner.
Nobody knows us, we don't care
we done ye a favour tonight lads.
well done v bray
hope ye pull off the great escape - harps are hopeless
hopefully now sligored, looks like it will go down to the last game of the season. Our last 2 games are harps (h) and UCD (a). Im hopeful of winning both of those games anyway. The other 2 games are both away against Pats and Derry.
