Sean Connor - Naive?

[Fabrizio]

First of all Congratulations to Sligo Rovers FC on not only getting promoted but on winning the league in which was one of the hardest in years considering that only 1 team is guaranteed promotion. Had some great performers in O Hara, Mc Namara, Burns, Cretaro and Foley. Hope they get in some decent players next season and stablise the club in the Premier Division.

I was watching the TV3 Eircom Weekly and BBC the other days and the Rovers success was shown and i couldnt believe that there was pictures of Sean Connors jumping around slugging out of a champagne bottle when Rovers were presented the cup. Do you think its a good example to show to young people?Considering that Sligo has great support from the younger people! People all over the country saw this and our manager downing the champers! I dont think its a good example, and true he was celebrating and couldnt hide his emotions but maybe a bit of cop was needed!

Same with Gerry Carr in the Champion there is a picture of him with a can of Heinekein. I just think it is inappropriate considering the problem with alcohol in sports today!

Anyway thats my rant for the day! Im not a fan of Connors but thats another story!

[Ronnie]

What? Not a fan of Connors? Explain -can't believe any Sligo fan at this stage would not like Connors.

As for the drinking, the first year Longford Town won the cup the players were drinking cans on a stage set up for the homecoming, and true to form in the local papers a week later press giving out about bad image. Last year not a drop to be seen on the stage!

Don't think their giving a bad impression. If young people want to drink they will do it with or without pictures of Sean enjoying himself! Thats just the way it is.

Anyway thats my rant for the day!

Good man, dont start another one for a while either.

I'm a teenager, yes I drink, oh shock horror. It has nothing to do with Sean that I drink, I didn't see him drinking the champagne and suddenly decide that I'm gonna start it

[feo123]

Never have drank in my life, but i'm off down the pub to get p*****d because I saw sean, gerry and most of the players drinking!!!!

[SligoBrewer]
