    Yeah I had us relegated already but if he can hit the ground running it’ll give us a chance

    Great signing, and a superb return on the fundraising efforts.

    Where would you see him playing? We had him as a striker, but he's more of an a wing forward really.

    Presumably (hopefully!) he'll be missing the first game of the restart in the Brandywell.
    Have you ever won the treble?

    Fascinating that this is the same Sligo who were trying to get the whole season cancelled as they couldn’t afford to continue with no income and weren’t paying their players. I assumed the fundraising they did was to get through the remainder of the season with their existing costs covered.
    Nonetheless it is a great signing for them.

    Sligo are constantly out with the poor mouth to their locality and that's not even a knock on them they do really well out it.

    Similar situation to Dundalk advantages wise actually

    Gaelic Muckball team are consistently terrible.
    Hurling doesn't exist.
    Rugby doesn't exist.

    Plus you'd have to assume a lot of the people donating are people who would have normally sponsored a match ball, programme etc in normal times.

    I say fairplay to them.

    There's a lot of navel gazing goes on around league of Ireland about development and facilities and blah blah won't someone think of the children.

    Do you know what's an even better way to get people to support you.

    Having a decent striker!

    What a signing for Sligo rovers! Im quite impressed. Im very surprised that Derry didnt attempt to resign him at all any reason Derry City fans?
    In Longford Town news its not on our website as of yet but Lewis Shaw broke on his twitter feed that we have signed from Dundalk on loan Eric Abulu he played for us in Oriel.

    Dundalk fans any opinion on Eric?
    Gary Cronin is he the right man to manage Longford Town?

    We're not sure. I'd hazard a guess that we would have tried, but that Sligo are simply paying more. Junior won't be cheap.

    Separately, we've signed James Akintunde. English forward, signed from Maidenhead.

    Abulu was with Rovers u19s last year and joined Longford at the start of the season.

    Up front if its 2 upfront and on the left of a 3 if were going that way I suppose. Or up front on his own when we put everyone else behind the ball against Dundalk and Shams.

    If you play him up front on his own at any stage you will have completed wasted the player.

    He is best by far on either side of a 3.

    Terrific player though and some signing. Had to have been a fair few € thrown at that.

    Yeah we announced that earlier. Someone has gotten them confused. We've a few ex or current Dundalk young lads now.
    Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.

    Sorry had mixed the player up as when I checked our own twitter updates it said AN other and when Eric Abulu was mentioned I thought he was the player that was announced!

    Lotefa played the last 20 mins in the Unite the Union cup 6-0 win v Linfield, replacing Jamie McGrath in what was his last game for Dundalk.

    Thought he was very good, showed real strength on and off the ball, I'd say this will only be a short deal on loan, but good move for him to get games, Longford getting a decent player.

    Was Lotefa born in Ireland Oriel?
    What I mean is where are his parents from?

    A really genuine nice fella who left for a very admirable reason. I really hope he is a success.

    I know you didn't mean it as a dig but just to clarify, Sligo Rovers are never really out with the 'poor mouth'. This is a fundraiser, just like all the other fundraisers we do season after season. ITs not so much the club 'doing really well out of it', its everybody doing well out of it ... the club, the fans, the community, the showgrounds, the business. Rovers really forms a huge part of the identity and culture of Sligo, so everybody understands that and the connection means that people are more than happy to donate. I sell annual draw tickets every summer and 80% of the people buying tickets wont set foot in the Showgrounds, but they all say how great it is to see the summer camps, the joy that the club has brought, the tradition, etc.
    Manager: Fergal, have you your boots with ya?
    Fergal: Ya, I have them here.
    Manager: Ah good stuff, well give them to this man so, he forgot his!
