I heard Raf left cos he didn't think Sean Connor is any good...
i'm sure Darth Evil knows too.Originally Posted by Rogue Trader
Yap i think Raf needs a 6th year in that division alright !
The only person who knows why he left is raf and if you must know Galway were not his first or second preference when it came to switching clubs all i know is that he is gone but best of luck Raf !
I heard Raf left cos he didn't think Sean Connor is any good...
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
After 5 years stuck in the dregs of what is supposed to be a football league, and SC brings us out of that in his first season. Yeah, right Raf, Sean is no good
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
i was sittin behind him in the 2nd half and he was beside Foley, Lavine(wen he came off) and some other player
wel the truth is out now why raf left in the sligo champion.
He says its because he thought sean didnt rate him
have to say thats a load of rubbish from raf i dont really believe he would leave for that reason.
he didnt rate him! it wasnt over money, i was talkin to someone today about it!!
well thats what it says in the champion i dont believe it either to be honest
How Many games did Sean not play Raff last season?
Why did S.C. leave the contract offer open till the very last day of the transfer, if he didn’t want or rate Raff?
Why did Raff accept an offer of 70% of full time players fee before Christmas, and he could remain part time? And presumably still go on the FAS scheme.
Why did Raff come back in the New Year, looking for more money?
S.C. said he was looking for 9% of his total budget. So If his budget is €14,000 that’s €1,260 per week.
I don’t believe Raff’s story. He’s only looking for an excuse cos he didn’t get his way.
I have scattered my dreams underneath your feet, tread carefully, cos it's my dreams you walk on.
Raf bú11****t3d in the paper yesterday bcoz he knew that fans were on his backs about his move...
he knows that we know what happened, he's just trying to cover his back(officially)
i heard that story a couple of weeks ago off some1 a long time b4 he moved
EXCUSES!!!!
You tellin' me that sean didn't r8 him as player when...
....He played him week in week out last yr.
....He offered him a fantastic contract WHICH RAF ACCEPTED, only 4 raf 2 throw it back in sean's face.
Sorry man but Sean r8ed raf as a player
i'd say it's true that sc doesn't have as high an opinion of raf as most people do but connor wanted him to stay&even if he wasn't 1st choice raf woulda played a lotta games this season cos of the size of our squad.
bottom line is connor wanted raf to stay, and offered him a decent contract, so he obviously doesn't rate him that low but f*ck it he's gone now and i hope enjoys playin in front of 400 ppl

"Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the sea ceases to flow, Even if the wind stops to blow, The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning, glinting star in the sky."
well sed, come on you rovers!!
“Michael [McNamara], Conor [O’Grady] and Sean [Flannery] have all responded to the challenge and, unlike other individuals, have not been frightened by the competition and by the quality of players that I have brought in.” -sean connor in today's weekender.
hmmmmm wonder who he could be talkin about. the said individual mustn't have much confidence in his own ability, irrespective of the manager's opinion, if he doesn't think he could fight for a place in our relatively small squad

met raf 2day for the first time since he left he looks in gud shape he seems to b gutted at the way things ended.but from wat he was saying he woulds been a hsppy man if he got €600 a week. i refuse to believe he was lookin 4 €1200 or 9% of s.c budget. he also siad he was trainin on a full time basis 4 2 months not gettin anything while all the other players wer gettin paid. so sumonw please tell me wats goin on in the club?
If its true about Rafs other earnings (FAS scheme & Chip shop) then E600 a week could possibly equate to circa E1200 when you take High tax bands, benefits etc into consideration, because Rovers are compliant to tax legislation & don’t use brown envelopes!
Regardless of Dosh the lad is gone, good luck to him, personally he was my favourite player, but these things happen in Footy.
And do you think raf was looking for €1260 come on?There is no way!Sean give a story that he was looking for 9% of the budget!So he could get all us guys on side!Remeber he was a PR man for BCFC!
