Shels v Sligo FAI Cup final - Lansdowne Road 6th Nov

[S.E.P.1990]

He could have inserted about 5k different names into that report....!

Bloody McGill. Even his manor is agressive.

Tolka is grand place.

[Charlie Darwin]

His large house is aggressive???

Winter's a fierce socialist. Just seeing the name "Shelbourne" sends his class warrior instincts into overdrive.

Gracious losers Shelbourne! From the manager down -- they were simply a deluded lot, re post match analysis.

Class attached memo. How, where, when, did you this report. I'd pay for the full transcript!

Presumably, the aggressive manor, was Ringsend -- McGill, he's the Guvvnor.

Neck strain.

Just a note in relation to our crowd. Obviously there was alot of bandwagoners there but alot of people at the final (I talked to at least 6), and at the last few games of the season, aren't regulars, some with no interest in football at all. But they have been going because they've been dragged by their kids. The work Rovers have done in the schools in Sligo and surrounding areas + the success on the pitch is getting young kids hooked. They were all running round the Clarion Sunday night getting pics and autographs off the players. Great to see.

Spelling, punctuation and refereeing are not his strong points, so. What is he good at? Shaving his head?
It's heart of darkness stuff. "The Horror, the horror." I almost feel sorry for him.

Yeah we had all that when we were doing well. Lower actual numbers but similar percentage of the town etc. If ye find yourselves struggling again don't be relying on any help from most of them.

[El-Pietro]

When you say they help pay off Stadium debt -- ps, there is prize-money for the winners!

Yes I'm well aware of this but its irrelevant of the crowd

Derry, Cork, Shams and Sligo Rovers are the best supported clubs in Ireland and always will be.

This isn't remotely true. We're the best four supported teams right now based on our circumstances, but it will fluctuate. Should Sligo drop off again their attendances will drop. Rovers were getting crowds in the 1/2000 range pre tallaght. In the late 90s we werent one of the best supported teams.

It's the bloody Horseshoe Bar. He got barred once, and as a result ended up thinking it was our influence.

On the plus side, he doesn't like greyhounds.

Phew.
