    Toolan on RTE news today

    Click Eircom to drop LOI sponsorship. While I agree with him about returning to winter football, he sounds like an awful farmer, calling it 'soccer' and talking about 'housewives'.

    Only caught the bit where he was responding to the issue of the Eircom pull out.

    Came across as vague and wooly headed!

    I agree with what he says and wouldn't have a dig at the way he says it. He's a sligoman, one of our own.

    I presume the same people having a go at the way Toolan talks will be mystified at the Shams fans tonight abusing them as being "boggers" and "culchies".
    "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."

    His heart is in the right place. I don't think people should be attacking him on the way he talks it's very D4ish and people who look down on others have massive insecurities with themselves. Here’s my post about it from the LOI section

    The problem with Toolan is he is too quick to point the finger and blame our problems on other things. Ok for clubs like Rovers most our support would prefer professional winter football. Our crowds aren't down up they haven't increased either. We're getting the average what every other club is getting in our league position. Ideally we would love 5k at our home games but the league is a long way of that so we have to just get on with it. The reason why we are facing financial difficulties is because we are trying to keep up with clubs like Bohs, Drog, and Pats who have loads of money behind them. Our club has no money men behind us we are ran by the supporters and this is where our problem lies.
    I don't question Toolans commitment to our club his is a loyal Rovers supporter but I feel he has taken Rovers as far as he can as chairman. But he is still needed within the club with his passion for Rovers but not as chairman.
    You can see from his interview he's not a business man he's just an ordinary Jo so like any of us but we need more business men involved in the running of the club and a different set up how the club is ran. Whilst not taken it away from a community based club (which is hard to balance) hopefully something will come from the EGM and take Rovers forward for another 80 years
