AFAIK from what ive been told tonight, rovers have pulled out of U21 competition due to only a handfull of players turning out for a game at the weekend. Tis a pity, U have Oisin Mannion signed for Yeats and Johhny Bellew with Quayside Rovers. These are the kinda players we need to be keepin as they are still young with great talent.
Heard only 9 turned up to play Letterkenny on Sunday and Hutch was on the verge of quitting so no surprise to hear this...disappointing though. Club just didn't give a toss about U-21 set-up this season
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
having a u21 team is part of the FAI licencing laws and surely disbanding it will cause serious problems for the clubs participation in the league?
i know RT i was thinkin about that myself. can we not just delete the messy threads and post again if necessary?
AFAIK its true anyways.
hutch is gone from them and cook has taken over from what i was told from an under 21 player last night
hopefully that is the case,but in reality, i dont see much of the u21's makin the step up at the moment...and most are around the 20-21 age group....is late in their playing careers to be make massive strides like that...and it is a massive step up from that level to premier football
Forum should look a bit tidier now.
good man gus
Why dont they hold open trials and decent young players can come and try out, and throw in 2 or 3 decent over age players. Its a shambles that they cant get a team together, even the BORST can!!
that was done for this season, what happened was any half decent player the right age was signed. There was another trial game organised by hutchy aswell since. Just doesnt seem to be an interest in running it right.Half of them havent turned up. Some senior players also not wanting to play.Originally Posted by Fabrizio
From what i see, it seems to be players, high in their own importance, thinking they are perhaps too good for lowly u-21 football?
egotistic i believe is the word..
pity if true.. we'll still ave to field a team somehow though wont we?
the BORST might just have a few more matches in that case this year...egotistic i believe is the word..
pity if true.. we'll still ave to field a team somehow though wont we?
most of us are under 21 as well!

colin healy and gareth farrelly had no problem playing for cork citys 21s when they got the chance earlier in the season
if it wasnt for birds and booze id have played for ireland juniors!!!!!
Thats cos they werent eligible for senior football at the time though
until the right structures are put in place i.e. paid quallifled coaches and some needed funds put into the U18 and U21 setup it is going nowhere. Young players are brought into Sligo Rovers promised the sun moon and stars and enevitably it all falls apart year after year there is no continiuity and no will on the part of the commitee and the management of Sligo rovers for both teams to progress. A Sad Day For Sligo Football.
Not disbanded yet anyway. Lost 4-2 to Salthill Devon at home today.

my apologies on false info...cooky has decided to take over the u21's...also no players being realised until the end of the senior teams season...bad newws for a few local junior clubs.
