    One for the Hoops

    3,000 Shams fans meet in Tolka for a 'Shams Are Not Stupid' convention.

    Des Cahill addresses the crowd 'We are all here today to prove to the world that Shams are not stupid. Can I have a volunteer please?'

    Johnny Fullam gingerly works his way through the crowd and steps up to the stage.

    Cahill asks him 'What is 15 plus 15?'

    After 15 or 20 seconds Nine Medals says, 'Eighteen!'

    Obviously everyone is a little disappointed.
    Then the Shammers start chanting, 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

    D C says 'Well since we have a capacity crowd, world-wide press and global broadcast media here, I think we can give him another chance.
    So he asks in his backward yokel drawl 'What is 5 plus 5?' After nearly 30 seconds he eventually says, 'Ninety?'

    Cahill looks down and just lets out a dejected sigh.
    Everyone is disheartened and Nine Medals starts crying.

    But then the 3,000 Shammers begin to yell and wave their hands shouting, 'GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE! GIVE HIM ANOTHER CHANCE!'

    Cahill, unsure whether he is now doing more harm than good eventually says, 'What is 2 plus 2? '

    Silence hangs over the stadium. Fullam closes his eyes, and after a whole minute eventually says, 'Four??????'

    Pandemonium breaks out throughout the stadium as the Hoops crowd stand to a man, wave their arms, stomp their feet and scream, 'Give him another chance! Give him another chance!'

    "Even if the wind stops to blow
    Even if the sea ceases to flow
    Even if the sun ceases to rise
    The name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like the morning star glittering in the sky."
