And another new user - welcome aboard and enjoy.

Yourself and garth-marenghi above could do worse than take a couple of minutes and read the forum charter.

Did anyone get the new jersey yet? I'm not sure I like this seasons one yet, I think I prefered last years one. Rovers are getting worse than Man Utd for changing kits at this stage.

Rossibaby · 28-03-2008 9:02pm

the new kit is great imo...you're right though,they change them too often.hope we can manage a win tonight

Tis true. Good Friday and all. A bit of forward planning needed. Miraculously, a few of us still managed to have "a few light ales" (;)) but not from said Mooneys.

garth-marenghi · 29-03-2008 11:24pm

thats shocking behaviour drinking on Good Friday!;)

hopefully the team wil get the win they badly need against Cobh, wont be easy though, i see cobh drew with cork tonight, in for a tough season i think, some people even booed rovers at the end of match last night

Theres no call for that.... Crowds picking too much off the English league or something. I thought it was shocking that Irish fans did it to Stevie Staunton ("I am the gaffer"! ) even though he deserved it. The poor team.

Re the drinking. You'd be surprised the role models out there getting crucified on a Good Friday! Fraid theres just no respect any more!

garth-marenghi · 29-03-2008 11:50pm

think people were just annoyed that after making the effort to get to the game, maybe taking time off work, paying for travel, tickets etc the team goes out and the majority of them put in unacceptable performances, not nice when ya boo your own team but sometimes its deserved! saying that though i didnt boo

I feel for the crowd who make the effort. But, I heard the weather conditions were fairly horrible to play in?
At least you were'nt drawn into the old booing mallarky.

garth-marenghi · 30-03-2008 12:07am

weather was crap but it wasnt just that, some players just didnt look interested and were pulling out of tackles, didnt boo but must have used every swear word known to man during the game!

Yep there was an understandably high risk for that alright, I'd say!
Sligo rovers matches tends to change even the most timid of supporters into screaming banshees by the end of their matches. Know a very mild mannered guy that practically suffers from Tourettes during the game and then reverts back to type after it.

psuedo nim · 30-03-2008 2:49pm

you cant blame bad weather for bad football...its the same for both teams!! as for pulling out of tackles....that would dissapoint any fan, especially if you have taken the time to travel on a bus for 3-4 hrs without a toilet!! yes it would pee me off!!

Fitzo · 30-03-2008 3:40pm

Not been on boards in ages, and i come back and see a 7 page thread on Rovers.

Super stuff!

think we definitely have to travel on a bus with a toilet from now on, certain more mature fans found the wait for the toilet stop to be particularly stressful:D

When I was a kid, the Irish league supporters did nothing else but boo & slag their teams off... one game I was at, a player went to kick the ball near the sideline, completely missed it & fell head over heels, tumbling into the advertisment hoarding. The oulfella in the stand just above where he landed, leaned over and shouted down to him.. "next time son, remember what your supposed to be kickin' - it's the white roundy thing, THE ROUNDY THING."

tuppence · 31-03-2008 11:05pm

Cripes they have been playing well, maybe not reflected in the stats....I dunno theres a difference between a bit of light banter and booing. Booing is kinda getting into the realms of mob rule. Look where thats led to elsewhere :eek:

It got rid of Steve "the Gaffer" Staunton, which can't be a bad thing. I think if fans are paying money, week in, week out, to watch a team underperform, then it's fair game, but if - like you say - Sligo are playing well, then it's a bit out of hand alright.

garth-marenghi · 01-04-2008 5:54pm

have been going to away games for a while and we have clapped them off the pitch after poor results before but the ucd game was just pathetic, no one minds if you dont get a good result but the least you ask for is committment and a bit of passion, that just wasnt on show in Belfield,

Yeah, nobody expects Rovers to turn into AC Milan overnight but a supporter paying hard earned money to watch a game should at least see their players putting an effort in and playing with a bit of passion.

I wasn't at the UCD match so I won't comment on it but I have heard a lot of reports from it and they were not so good.

Hopefully Rovers will get their first win soon, it could be what the players need.

tuppence · 01-04-2008 10:30pm

Ah yes sligo rovers needs commitment, passion and a bit of va va voom when someone in the crowd gets a bit mouthy.
Whats that a boo!:eek::D

tulipandthistle · 05-04-2008 2:15pm

Are you all still going to be showing support tonight for the players following "the white roundy thing"?
I'll be sitting it out again with the wee man but Mr tulip will be going.

Good Luck!!! C'mon boys do us proud!!!!

garth-marenghi · 05-04-2008 2:33pm

very important game tonight, these are the sort of teams (no disrespect to Cobh) that we should be getting 3 points against, especially when playing at home. A major improvement needed in attitude from the ucd game, Reckon rovers will get a win, think it will be tight though,

gustavo · 05-04-2008 2:45pm

It's without a doubt we need a win tonight , but I think we can get it , be interesting to see how Judge and Boco fare together if Faz doesn't make it.

tulipandthistle · 05-04-2008 4:49pm

we always need to win!!!!!!

SligoBrewer · 05-04-2008 11:10pm

Nice win tonight.. crowd was poor but they missed a great 3rd goal.

garth-marenghi · 06-04-2008 10:55am

its amazing how much better the league table looks after a win, happy for mauro getting a goal especially after the bohs game, looks to be a shrewd signing by the cookie monster,

tuppence · 06-04-2008 9:47pm

Yes it was a good win. Not the most pleasant to watch but its the result that counts. It was freezing too eh? There were times I was tempted to head to the warmth of Mooneys but thought better of it.

bobcar61 · 06-04-2008 9:56pm

I don't usually comment here and its not totally on topic but I was in a car crash last night and the fella at blame came up from Cork for the match,served him right though,his night couldn't have got worse,first a 3-1 defeat and then a car crash.

tulipandthistle · 06-04-2008 10:09pm

garth-marenghi where were you the second half? Die hard supporter?;) the guy with the crash HAHAHAHAHA
