Sligo Rovers

tinpib · 22-02-2020 6:26pm

After a relatively bright first 10/15 minutes when we had a slight threat the rest of it was horrific last night.

Constant passing across the back 5 and then give the ball away. Get a throw up near opponents box and then 100% pass it back towards our own box. We ahve reverted to that passing backwards instead of forwards. After one final throw that went back, it felt like the 5th or 6th on our left side in the second half I walked out in frustration with 5 minutes left.

The new lads look completely hopeless, like the worst lads in your class in primary school, not semi pro/professional players. Have to hope they improve or that they will be squad players

Silver lining, when Banks and Donelon come back it will help.

The comments on the Rovers FB posts are good. We are all seeing the same thing anyway.

darman28 · 26-02-2020 9:24pm

Rough few opening games with no points.
Played better against Bohs, had the same shots on goal as Bohs but lack of finishing saw Rovers come away with nothing.
New striker in " Ryan De Vries", he is maent to be quick & strong, lets hope he can finish too.
Need to start picking up points, let hope Rovers start getting some against Waterford in the Showgrounds this Saturday.

darman28 · 06-03-2020 1:09pm

The battle of the Rovers, Sligo Rovers V Shamrock Rovers, this Saturday 7th March (tomorrow night) 8pm at the Showgrounds.
New signings Alex Cooper making his home debut and Ryan De Vries has received his international clearance to play so he should make his first appearance for Sligo Rovers.
Shams are top of the league table with winning all their games sofar this season and bringing ROI capped internationals like Jack Byrne & Graham Burke.
Going to be a tough game for Sligo Rovers so home support is a must.
Come out and support the real ROVERS.

Match tickets available here.

Also this is the first year for Sligo Rovers to have a Women's senior team.

So like the men's there is now a pathway from women's youth teams to the senior team.

Their season will be starting next month, Saturday 5th March away to Peamount United but their first home game will be the following Saturday 12th March.

A lot of good stuff happening over at Sligo Rovers ATM if you want to support either the Men's or Women's teams or both.

darman28 · 20-02-2022 4:18pm

Unfortunately the Bohs match was called off due to the weather.

Next home match at the Showgrounds will be on the 5th March against Dundalk

darman28 · 05-03-2022 12:26pm

Big day for Sligo Rover FC today.

Today is the Sligo Rovers senior women's team first match of the season, away to Peamount United at 5pm.

You can watch via LOITV or listen via Oceanfm, all details in the link below.

https://www.sligorovers.com/preview-rovers-kick-off-wnl-season/

Also it is the Senior men's team first home league match of the season against Dundalk in the Showgrounds at 7.45pm, due to the Bohs match being cancelled two weeks ago.

It is going a good match and great atmosphere, you can get tickets via the link below.

https://srfcdirect.com/match-tickets/

There is a lot of excitement and growing interest in the League of Ireland these days. Because of Brexit young football players are not allowed to go too UK clubs until they are 18yo. So there are a lot of young footballers staying at home, coming through the LOI academies and completing their leaving cert before moving abroad. If you look at all the Republic of Ireland youth teams (U-15s, U-17s, U-19s etc), all the players are playing at LOI clubs now. Which is all very exciting to see a local pathway for young players to become a full time footballer, in both men's and women's football.

A lot of people support clubs in the UK but you can still support your local LOI club on top of that. Nobody is saying to become a die hard fan over night but try going to a couple of Sligo Rovers matches if you have free time or interest and soak up some live football and the atmosphere. The support and money goes a long way for the club.

darman28 · 10-03-2022 7:21pm

Big day for the Sligo Rovers women's senior team this weekend, their first home match in the Showgrounds this Saturday 12th March at 2pm against UCD Waves.

Big game this Thursday evening 14th July in the Showgrounds.

Sligo Rovers senior men's take on Bala town in the Europa Conference League Qualifying campaign. Rovers took a 2-1 win from the first leg away to Bala.

Going to be a great atmosphere and hopefully a good match with plenty of goals, with the Rover's strikers Keena and Mata in red hot form banging in goals lately.

Doesnt say much for the standard of Scottish football, but Motherwell are generally rubbish anyway!

Cant believe they took points off my team,Rangers at Ibrox last season!

NIMAN · 29-07-2022 11:24am

As much as Motherwell were awful and shows that the SPL is bang average outside of the big 2, it was still a fantastic achievement for Sligo.

Great to see much needed revenue coming into these clubs via Uefa money. Wel done to St Pats too.

darman28 · 29-07-2022 4:34pm

Tickets costing 10.50 or 103 Euro for 10 just doesn't sit right with me. I could be wrong but it smacks of someone selling 10 Euro tickets and adding a bit on for themselves. I'd be happy to be proved wrong.

Jayus, there is no conspiracy or anything underhanded. The extra.50 cent to €3 is probably to cover the online costs and payments, I am sure a quick email to Sligo Rovers(details in the link above) and they will give you a quick break down of the extra charges. TBH I am a bit shocked that somebody would suggest that their Community/Volunteer run football club is out to rip people off.

Other than being a Sligo Rovers fan and a 500 club member, I am not affiliated with Sligo Rovers, with committee, staff, admin etc. I just share stuff on here to promote the club and see it doing well.

darman28 · 13-02-2023 10:30am

A new season starts again for Sligo Rovers with the first match of the season this Saturday 18th February against Shamrock Rovers in the Showgrounds at 7.45pm.

It is looking like there is going to be a full Showgrounds for this match with only a few hundred tickets left.

The BORST (the fans/supporters Trust of Sligo Rovers) have done up a season preview, along with a small history of the club and how the club is run. A good read for new or old fans.

Great entertaining match in the Showgrounds last night.

NIMAN · 20-02-2023 3:09am

Sligo really put it up to Rovers last night, think they should be a tough team to play at home.

Hopefully can make the trip there for our away game this year, now that it's our closest game.

darman28 · 07-03-2023 1:04am

What a great result in the Showgrounds tonight.

Won 2-1 against St Pats and Rovers only had ten men on the pitch for over 70 minutes of the match, after Mahon got sent off on the 20th minute. Actually dominated Pats in the first half with ten men.

darman28 · 07-03-2023 1:10am

Next up, another home match in the Showgrounds this Saturday 11th March against Cork City.

Get yourself down to the Showgrounds because the atmosphere is electric and some good football on show too.

Support your local football club.

Brilliant game last night. I would have been absolutely gutted if we hadn't hung on for the 3 points. It was richly deserved, after a poor enough performance on Friday against Drogheda we needed a big performance and we got it. They gave it their all, it was fantastic to watch. Says a lot for the spirit in the camp the way they played.

Pats were the opposite, after a 5 nil drubbing to perform like that could mean all is not well there.

darman28 · 24-03-2023 10:27am

Next home match is on Saturday 1st April, against current premier league table toppers Bohs.

There should be a high attendance and good atmosphere for this match.

Online tickets are already available so come along, being some friends and family to support your local/regional premier league football club
