    Why cant Sligo fans just accept that they are known as Sligo and Shamrock Rovers are known, more often than not, as Rovers? Whats the big deal, its not gonna change, no matter how many times you type it differently on the internet!

    Would be smashing if he could stay fit. Top bloke.
    yea, top class player IF he could avoid the injuries. Excellent signing if he gets a decent run of games

    Sligs and Shams fans are a bit touchy about the whole subject. I wouldn't bring it up if I were you.

    To resolve this once and for all, why don't Sligo Rovers just change their name to 'Sligo &*%$"£^%$^' (insert own expletive)
    "Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins."
    "Homer Simpson, smiling politely."

    Shamrock Rovers fans don't go on about it at all. It's just very childish Sligo fans on here who constantly post ridiculous and unhelpful stuff about 'Rovers'. It really is cringeworthy to see variations on the following time and time again;

    "Twigg has been a great signing for Rovers this year"
    "DID HE SIGN FOR ROVERS?? I THOUGHT HE PLAYED FOR SHAMROCK!!!! DERS ONLY ONE ROVERS "
    "thanked from twenty assorted Sligo Rovers and Bohemians fans"

    It doesn't wind up Shamrock Rovers fans, at all, it's just crigneworthy.

    I thought it was obvious by this stage...

    Sligo fan saying Rovers: clearly talking about Sligo
    anybody else saying Rovers: clearly talking about Shamrock

    Anybody complaining/questioning somebody using Rovers in reference to the above: arsehole

    Grand so, going forward rovers means Sligo - to avoid confusion. perhaps we could have a competition to come up with an alternative name for shams ?

    Sligo play in Markiewicz Park.

    Rovers play in the Showgrounds.
