QuoteWhats your pitch like lads? Im in two minds about heading over for this after the Galway debacle on Friday!!
Whats the feelings on this one lads, think it will be a tough game and would not be surprised to see another stalemate, the loss of Peers on Friday was enormous but Keane did very well.
Is there any link or commentary on Monday nights game.
Whats your pitch like lads? Im in two minds about heading over for this after the Galway debacle on Friday!!
I reckon it'll be another draw.
Re: Dillonman, there is no way the match will be called off. You have my word!
Sweet! whys that?Weather forecast had rain down for yesterday, today and tomorrow in Sligo?!Originally Posted by Dublin Red
Chap running the bus has tried to contact the Showgrounds on a number of occasions yesterday and this morning outa chance but no answer!
Also where would a handful of us(non trouble making fans) be welcome for a few pre match pints??
Weather forecast today is dry.
No real amount of rain until late tomorrow night.
Pitch is in very good condition, no chance of it been called off even if it did rain.
A couple of the other lads on the new forum were saying we havent had a game postponed in 8 years at The Showgrounds and that was due to a frozen pitch.
Pints wise, Mooneys across the road from The Showgrounds, or O'Neills at the bottom of the hill before you get to the ground
Game will be on
Heard the phone ringing alright but couldn't get to it with the floods !! Dry here at the moment and as there has been no game on the pitch for a while it should be able to take a fair bit. What's this about non trouble making fans? Jesus, have we to do everything for ye?
What are the ticket prices for a student concession for the match. I've looked at the club's website but the ticket information hasn't been updated since the 2008 season.
When was the last time a game was called off at the Showgrounds? That pitch has a proper dranage system in place. I was up their last Friday and the surface looked wonderful. There's probably a little sand still on it put apart from that all's good.
Whats that comin' over the hill
It's the Monster,
The Cookie Monster!
Is Ndo cleared to play yet??
no not clear to play yet. hopefully next game
No tweets tonight?

Even if the sea ceases to flow
Even if the sun ceases to rise
The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."

Sickening to throw away a 2 goal lead when we were in so much control of game. If ever there was a game where a team thought they had done enough and took foot off gas it was tonight. When i saw brush jump on dannys back and mccabe(i think) carless airkick a clearence i had bad feeling a dundalk goal would turn game on its head. Dundalk arent a bad side, thought gaynor had a good game and faz and fenn will cause teams problems. But like the drogs on friday we should be well capable of beating both.
Really disappointed with a few in stand who continually criticse players during game. It was bordering on rediculous tonight. Even peers was gettin it ffs. Cook is right, people need to start supporting team. Ive seen far worse sides down through years. Hes paid to pick team and manage it. Players and manager are very accessible if people have a problem with them and they want to suggest how to improve things, I cant understand why people will go to a match and just hurle abuse at players of their club who they profess to be passionate about.
Yes people who pay in are entitled to voice their opinion, but hurling constant abuse at players even when we 2 up does nobody any good. After all club are trying to make place a enjoyable place for fans families etc to come to on match night. Players , managers, club staff and fans all have a role to play in taking club forward, and unless everyone is rowing in same direction we'll struggle.Anyway rant over its been a bad weekend, 3 pts against Bray a must now, still undefeated i suppose...
I agree totally with the sentiments in the last post re support for the team
So do I, but it would be much easier to agree with them if the manager would....
a) Show a bit of example by not chewing the b ollix off a lino who was having an excellent game.
b) Stop making logic defying substitutions that weaken the team.
he is the worst linesman in the league ffs !!!!! cook was totally wrong fair enough, but he is a shocking lino.
Cook is losing the plot, he has one of the biggest full time squads in the country in a weakened ten team league, and still isn't happy, for the second week in a row his stupid substitutions have cost us the three points, the team should have learned to close out a game by now after last year. The team is a mirror of its manager- soft centered and self absorbed. Cook is always blaming someone or something else for his own tactical shortcomings and poor signings, Ventre, Donninger, Keane, Boyd, Morrisson, Holmes, Parkhouse, the list of bad signings is endless, if Matthews or Foster were in charge we would be in second place. I can't see anything only a heap of debt in November
i wouldnt put keane in that list but the rest your right about. the problem is what other decent managers is there out there and the board will never sack him unless we are in a relegation dog fight. with our big squad he can have no excuses come the end of the year. apart from shams and bohs and fingal coming up the rest of the teams we should be easily beating but we dont know how to kill off a team nor do we know how to defend set pieces. it is still early to judge but cook does not seem to learn from his mistakes. the players need to impose themselves more and look for the ball and make things happen
He may be a shocking lino but he didn't make a single mistake tonight and he doesn't deserve to come to Sligo and be treated like that by the home manager.
