I hate this "identity politics" idea of diversity. As if the county a pundit is from should make any difference to their analysis of a game. If a pundit from Donegal does start going on about Dublin bias in a game, then I won't nod at this sage piece of Donegal-specific advice; I'll just think he's a fool. Too often now we think we must accept someone's view because of who they are, not because of what they're saying.
Thn Men who saved football pod? a few lads football opinions albeit lads who believe their beliefs are canon. They would also hae preferred 1st Division football forever rather than have american owners of any sort no matter how good they were as owners. Putin would probably top their wishist of people they'd dream of having on. Its a sounding board for a few individuals but not whole lot to back up their claims -S'OD is proof positive of that currently.
Since when did football banners become so criptic. If it's not aimed at the Showgrounds crowd we'll see it used a lot more this season so! Sligo Rovers thought it bizzare and funny, and if there was any sympathy toward Dundalk before, well its well gone when a banner like that goes up. It reminds me of when Dundalk had the buckets out in 2013, they were in the Showgrounds collecting. I threw in a few coins meself, so did my mates. The only thing you'll collect now from Rovers fans is weird looks.
Anyways all the Dundalk stuff just a minor side show on the night. Great game and result for us in loads of ways. A massive total for fundraising efforts. Keeps us in a chance for Europe. 7th win in a row at home. Something to play for in the run is always nice.
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!
Being upset at that Dundalk banner is very funny tbh.
To be fair, I thought the Dundalk banner was a bit stupid too.

The minor sideshow that youve used 2/3 of your post on....
Honestly, its not the first banner that has cause some head scratching, or is a bit daft. I have cringed most at banners by both Dundalk and Drogheda. But can it not just be accepted that it poorly communicates its message, wasnt personal to Sligo (why pick out Sligo? you re the most harmless of clubs).
Daly saying he is bailing IF relegated is surely a bigger story and one far more worthy for additional Dundalk FC circus bashing.
It does! You would presume that an owner upon recieving that news would ask for it to be witheld for a month or so, or was it due to what an owner had to say. If the club was not involved in the decision then why stick around even now, Liam Burns's results were maybe better when in temporary charge. I not that fussed on having a manager stick around if we stay up that has set out his stall in such a way. If contracted agreements are met next season that Daly will be in a job and a contact needs to be paid up unless there is a mutual termination so why walk? I think at this stage we are all but relegated, maybe a blessing in disquise though a last night escape away to Drogheda would have brought its own fun. All quite mysterious and adds to the sense that last week was a short term reprieve - to be conspiracy theory sounding, there are some wealthy people with skin in the game at clubs that wouldnt want the impact expunged results would have on their season, added to the mess avoided for the FAI, so what were all the flurry of calls reported as happening last Monday with the FAI. Unofficial owner checks havent come back squeaky, so wider collaberation of all interested groups + fans over the next months will be the only way forward.

There's been some interesting shouts from Sligo fans this season.
My biggest takeaway here is that Mogwai aren't big in Sligo.
Some context on it all alright

Mother of god… nice to see the good folk of Sligo haven’t thrown the toys out of the pram again, this time over something not even directed at them
