Quotejesus i am pumped for this, can't wait heading off shortly to get some refreshements !!!!
I don't know how allocation was decided on the Shams side, but if some long-time supporters missed out, an awful lot of fly-by-nights must have got tickets. A lot of the time over the last 22 years (no more than for ourselves, to be fair), regular attendances were only a few hundred - if that was the same hard core, surely there should have been enough tickets.Originally Posted by ForzaHoop
There seem to be a lot of long-time fans coming out of the woodwork now. I have to hand it to the Hoops - they have a cachet among the media no-one else has. I know of at least one hack whose claims to have "grown up on the terraces at Glenmalure" are complete toss.
Good to see you getting the stadium finally, though, and best of luck in it - from next week.

Even if the sea ceases to flow

The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."

Hes a MANIAC!!
No. he's most definitely a loo la.
Is Raf playing tonight , William Hill have him @16/1 for first goal and 6/1 to score anytime seems very generous if he is starting.
63.00
I'd be surprised if Raf was on the bench
That 6/1 isn't bad at all , he's 10/3 on PP
look forward to seein ye boys on the telly.. hope the ian wexler crew and rovers maniac do ye proud...
Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?
I feel like crying watching this now.
We are ****.
I know Ventre is limited but he is definetely not a limited centre half, you got to feel for Peers trying to do four jobs and score goals.
Ah, well, there's always the cup.
Agreed Brother.
poor stuff - i hate to say it but we showed no heart. shams deserved a victory.
bring on the pats and a backlash.
Glad someone was pumped up for it. Pity he didn't give you a game.
I'm just in home from that.Shocked at how bad we were.Noctor,poor lad,was out of his depth.
Great support for us though. Colourful and noisy.
I don't think I heard youse apart from a small whisper when youse scored.
Clean your ears out, i was watching the TV broadcast and i could hear them....surely you could in the ground?
That's rather harsh on the lad to be honest
He done ok for his first start.
There were alot worse on show for Sligo tonight. Shaun Holmes was shocking and Danny Ventre was poor
One plus was that Owen Morrison played superbly, he caused Shams problems the entire 2nd half & set up our goal.
A big pitch was made look bigger by our back four playing so deep. This seems to be a trait of Cook's teams, sitting deep allowing the opposition to run at you. After looking pretty solid last week, I have to say that it was one of the worst back four displays in a long time.
I was a little surprised at the Ryan subsitution, I thought he looked the most comfortable on the ball and attempted to play the ball on the ground, which considering the conditions was the best option.
Morrison in the second half looked like he could be a real danger, although there was times when either he or Holmes delayed the cross.
Overall a game to forget.
"Overwhelmed"
Well maybe it was because i was in the "Ultras" end of the ground... Have to admit was a fantastic night all round for our crowed but i was expecting sligo to be alot better than that.Clean your ears out, i was watching the TV broadcast and i could hear them....surely you could in the ground?
