**SligoBrewer** · 09/03/2007, 10:06 PM

isnt it beautiful!

**Only1Rovers** · 09/03/2007, 10:09 PM

where did Faz play? out on the wing? did Rovers play 4-4-3? how did Brush get on?

Sligo hammered us.

Very good all over.......alot sharper than us.

UTD were empahtically welcomed to the Premier Divison tonight by a much hungrier Sligo team.
Our kepper was embarassing for LOI and our wing backs shouldn't be playing for a pub team never mind us.

Nevertheless with Rodgers and O Flynn to come into the fold i think we'll be ok.

With Cork,Drogheda,Rovers and Pats all in a row though we'll be lucky to be mid table.

FFS.

well taking him out of goals and putting him upfront to relieve the striker crisis was a bold but genius move but we managed with no keeper and the formation is now great success!

was 4-4-2. everyone played absolutly brilliantly. IMO turner was M.O.M at right full.....mckenzie(new captain) and peers were outstanding in the middle and foyzer didnt put a foot wrong! hughes was solid enough on the right, then the 2 boys ogrady and curran were also man of the match contenders! excellent! have never seen jay play so good since hes been at the showgrounds, excellent throughout, looked very comfortable on the ball at all times! took his goal excellently! faz was showed great bits of skill at times, and raf was his usual self....very very good, beat charles in the air all night! the first goal was a great move, faz's back heel, great through ball to hughesy, squared it perfectly for curran to tap home! and jay's was a perfect volley, took me about 2 minutes to realise it didnt go wide but anyway!
everyone of them played for the shirt, showed heart and fight! couldnt ask for one bit more from anyone!
thanks lads and well done!!

Conor, on what I saw tonight, your only hope of a point from those four games is against Shams. Hope I'm wrong, but I'm afraid........

**cillit1928** · 10/03/2007, 2:00 AM

one word,

BEAUTIFUL

Welcome to the big boys league. And we are not due to play ye again for another while so dont know why you mention us again.

**Gaillimh Al** · 10/03/2007, 7:30 AM

Well done Sligo. Very good performance.
O'Grady man of the match for me. Think it was even enough until the 1st goal went in, but then the difference in class told.
We should have scored first(Armstrongs header) which might have changed the complexion of it, but the efforts after going behind were poor on our part and Sligo's tactics were spot on.

**Red&White Rover** · 10/03/2007, 8:14 AM

what an excellent performance all round! was delighted for Conor O'Grady, it meant so much to him (and all of them) at the end! Bring on Derry....

and i have to say, the Rovers player i was most impressed with was Dick Brush....he's come from being not so confident understudy to a solid shot stopper now!

And he's still another month away from fitness too, shouldn't have been playing but came in and did a great job with a heavily strapped knee. From the looks of it he could just about manage to walk off after the game so well done Brushy.
