Obviously your definition of a legend of a soccer player differs from a lot of us. When I think of legends for Sligo Rovers Danny Ventre most certainly doesn't come to mind.

That was such a stupid tackle. Yet again another stupid tackle by him. He does a job for us alright but if he could keep his head rather then diving in the whole time he'd be a much better player.

I think he got the ball.....

For Jesus sake the flag was already up for a throw in to Rovers.

Ludicrous Danny (and not in a Rap name sense!)

As for celticV3 claiming he is a legend - cop on.

As always the biggest joy to be gleaned from this forum is the introduction of new words to the English language and mighten is certainly a fantastic addition to it.

First time up in Drogheda's ground and I have to say its a s**thole, but in saying that i have to say i probably like it. It has a bit of charater I suppose is how you could describe it.

at least we have a few seats and a decent stand

I dont mind shabby grounds like United and Finn Park. Brings a bit of character as redobit said.

**redobit** · 28/04/2009, 3:44 PM

Absolutely, the showgrounds is far from a palace.
But to be fair at least we have room to expand and improve, their aint much ye can do with that shoebox, unfortunately.
Ive never been a big fan of siting in a bar watching a game out a window either, dosent seem right.

Actually The Showgrounds is quite close to the Bishop's Palace in Sligo.

Personally, i really like United Park. Mainly cause of that away stand. Don't know why really, reminds me of a real football ground.

**rob mcdonald** · 28/04/2009, 5:31 PM

Fair point about Butler a class act but there is no sign of him getting back to full fitness and maybe its might be better for both parties to come to some agreement although at full fitness there is no better full back in the league. He can handle the tequila better than richie though, both buckled in the Strand after the bohs game.....

**The Midget Gem** · 28/04/2009, 8:20 PM

Big write up in the weekender judging our 9 games so far. Fickle ****in newspaper!

I like United park too. If they got a good stand like ours put opposite their away setion, it would be alot better.
The away section looks great on TV when Bohs, Shams are playing and its packed to the rafters.

Don't think it is a fickle newspaper, always helps out Rovers with it's coverage, has also helped with prizes for many draws and carried the €2 a week application for weeks.
