If we can beat Finn Harps Monday night i would love to play Sligo in the Q/F...i would love a trip to the showgrounds..last time i was up there we had a great night(off the pitch after losing)..

And before any smart comments Jorge i know we must beat Finn Harps Monday and with the cup anything can happen..here's hoping..

Well done Sligo..

Brilliant game and brilliant performance. Pat's fans booed their team off the pitch at the end of the game

. Through to the last 8

. This is the game that TG4 should of shown, never mind the Louth derby this was a cracker

Well ye weren't terrible. I'd say it was the fact that ye were knocked out by a First Divsion team that annoyed them more so

Im not sligoman, but Pats were pretty poor. I was sitting beside a Pats supporeter. At one point he seemed to be supporting us especially Cretaro and Kudizovic. I was expecting a far better Pats team than the one we got tonight.

Still can't get the hang of scoring goals in these half-time games. May get another chance on Tuesday!

Good to see Sligo and Wayside Celtic keeping the magic of the cup alive.

When the full draw came out of the hat I thought there'd be no real shocks in there. You could even have been excused for thinking it'd been fixed !

So good to see that there are still surprises (though thankfully not for City !

)

2 premier division scalps so far so dont be too cocky if ya get us cause we completely played Pats off the pitch, no comparison. Great cup atmosphere.

Well it shouldn't of been. I expected Rovers to win, no doubt.

And so did I...

the standard of the reffing in the fans game was of a higher standard :-D

So it was just like the one you were awarded against St. Pats last week then ?

**gustavo** · 29/08/2005, 9:17 AM

great performance by us i must say i brought a friend along and now he is left with the impression that sligo rovers are footballing gods

he is from mayo and fully expected pats to thrash us

Of course it was no surprise - the best team in the 1st against the worst Pats team I've ever seen (and that's saying something).

Pats are RUBBISH and a good few people did well at the bookies from the Sligo/Pats game.

44 Years!!!!

I actually was (the town V pats match that is), Longford were very lucky to win that night in fairness. Pats defo deserved something out of the match.

I think we all know that the standards we saw on Sat (Reffing) night were farcical.Missing one peno (if it was one) and then giving another which clearly wasn't (because he thought he should have given the first one) is pathetic.
