Raff was offered, and he accepted one of the best deals in recent history. But, he came back looking for more. The club went out of its way trying to convince him to stay. But, he threw it in their faces. Maybe he got greedy, but from what I hear, he was convinced that other players were on much more than him. A certain person had convinced him of this. (Call him Mr Evil if you like).
S.C. has a budget for the year, he could not do anything more. If he did give in to this form of blackmail, where would the club go? The debt is finally under control and I for one commend the club for sticking to their guns. The deal was done, and Raff went back on it.
It�s absolutely ridiculous that a professional or semi-professional footballer should be attending a FAS course. The club should look seriously at this.

There is always going to be 2 sides to this story. I think that we should all just move on and get behind the team because no man or manager is bigger than the club.

Lets hope that we have a successful season in the premier division and give a good account of ourselves.

Sorry for coming in on this thread and I'm not trolling but we are talking about someone called Lesbian (Les/Lesley) Windmill?? Are we? I must have a low iq!

NO, your right, his name is Lesbian Windmill !!

**redrov2005** · 23/02/2006, 11:31 AM

That Lesbian Windmill! Is he still causing trouble ?!

**The Stars** · 23/02/2006, 1:05 PM

Its Mr Lesbian Windmill.

**showgies** · 23/02/2006, 2:47 PM

Of course there is a funny side to all this and that is the growing optimism of Galway supporters who now think they are dead certs for promotion

Hmmmm Shams, Harps, Limerick even Athlone may have other ideas.

Never Mind Raf situation

The problem is not this year but next year when The Fai 10 Team Super league Kicks in.Have the club said anything on this to make you cofident on making into this legue?

I know Galway united Had concentreted on getting things in order off the pitch( with great sucess) and the club been saying for over a year now thisseason in the clubs History

and It was the clubs ambition that got players like Alan Muphy (this maybe why Raf signed too) to sign for us these season
No offence I dont think The FAI will have 2 counnaught teams in it
I think it will be 4 Dublin clubs, cork & Derry + four other clubs
If Galway utd have a good season I think they should get in to this league but we will just have too wait and see

your not making sense! its no secret raf probably wont be on as much money in galway as he would have been on in sligo! so why did he leave? if raf was greedy like you are saying he would have stayed in sligo purely for the money! but he didnt he left because he obviously wasnt happy with something else.....probably the manager knowing the amount of people he has fallin out with in the past(e.g gerry carr etc)!

**Trainee** · 23/02/2006, 3:16 PM

If Raf had a falling out with Manager and other players but who is blame

**Red4Eva** · 23/02/2006, 3:48 PM

just got this from one of last year's squad. raf wanted to stay but he wanted an extra �100 on top of what he was offered. connor used to give out to raf a lot but it doesn't sound like it put him off playin for rovers. so at the end of the day raf wanted to play for rovers but he cared more about money than the club

**feo123** · 23/02/2006, 6:48 PM

Mr. Evil is a man that played centre back for us many years ago! he now has shiny grey hair and plays junior football in mayo......any guesses?

**SligoBrewer** · 23/02/2006, 7:56 PM

**feo123** · 23/02/2006, 9:51 PM

**gufct** · 24/02/2006, 10:48 AM

all in Sligo for the season but i can see your manager having a rough ride as I think he will be found out bigtime this seaso,.On Raff he didnt sign for more money in galway he actually signed for less so someone is telling porkies.
