42.50 euro for a strip for a 2 year old! didnt ask for the adult one but let you know when i get the wee one. we can buy it from thursday

Its roughly the same for a Leitrim gaa jersey. (;)) Best get them big so theres plenty of growing room. They look seriously cute in them anyway. Think I am going to invest in a rovers one too! Thankfully at that age they are too young to question whether they are last seasons strip or whatever. It has been a racket in the English premiership for sure, Sueme. I would hope that Sligo Rovers would be a bit more grass roots. Where they a Co-operative in the past or something...?

Hey Tulipandthistle I am sure we could get a crowd for any Scotland/Holland matches... watching ye!

At the prices been flagged you would want to be getting the most out of those jerseys alright. (so the season ticket might be in order). Then you would have to give the jersey an outing to the away games. (with your friends on the bus) Suppose said jersey could also double up as a night shirt. Then it can be recycled into dusters the next season or on a pub wall with signatures on it....
Hey, Whats wrong with a hat and scarf anyway!*

tuppence · 14-03-2008 3:22pm

So tulipandthistle whats the order of play then. Is it Mooneys before the match, at half time, and then after the match? *;)

*not during unless Rovers really getting slaughtered.:(

guinnessdrinker · 14-03-2008 3:28pm

Me and one of my friends used to always go to Mooneys before the home matches which resulted in us never seeing a kick off as we always arrived in a few minutes late. Anyway I drive in now so I can't have a drink before the games.

The one and only Rovers game I went to*, we went to Mooneys for a drink beforehand, the craic was good so himself (at the time) went to the match and I stayed in the pub

Suppose could have been worse, you could have went in and commented on their legs or shouted for the opposition!

You kept a space in the bar, a useful role and has its advantages after the match.

Xiney · 14-03-2008 4:22pm

Mr Xiney and I will be there! Who are they playing again? :rolleyes: I'm not much of a football fan.

Fleece blanket and two travel mugs of hot tea ought to get us through though, bet it's going to be ridiculously cold.

I'll be looking for the Xiney's cuddled up under the fleece, see if we could borrow a corner of the blanket

Playing Drogheda United, just checked the website.

Tuppence, afraid it won't be a late one, we'll have the wee man with us.

guinnessdrinker · 14-03-2008 6:51pm

Really looking forward to going to the Showgrounds tomorrow night. I was just thinking though, maybe we should get a Sligo Rovers Boards.ie supporters flag made up!

No worries Tulipandthistle wont be too late either. (I know too well) Wouldnt want to miss my lift, then I might end up thumbing too!

Flags.... That fleece and a giant boards umbrella maybe. People behind us will be thanking us. Tee hee.

Get the new Jerseys, and get "OFF TOPIC" printed on the back. Instead of shouting at the ref, the lot of you just turn your backs to him.

That's a great idea!!! Can we call ourselves the "Off topic Posse!"?

Mint Sauce · 15-03-2008 11:13pm

those shirts may have came in handy tonight, thought we might have taken it at the end, could be slighter tougher against bohs next saturday

Xiney · 15-03-2008 11:29pm

That ref was in love with his whistle.

lol i wish i'm a lowly student!! ya jerseys are very expensive for a shirt like,but thats the way it is unfortunately...you'd pay the same for a man.united or liverpool shirt.the sligo rovers scarves are class,i still have one my unlce gave me from the 80's:D

good enough game tonight,pitch is in bad shape somethign should really be done!all in all a good result,drogs are the champions of last year and now we look forward to bohs on good friday!

Red Rev · 16-03-2008 2:54am

Indeed, great result. Good crowd, probly 2200-2300, and good atmosphere with plenty of colour.

tulipandthistle · 16-03-2008 9:38am

We had a great time yet again!

I only have one question.... why don't the players follow through? Some kicked the ball towards the goal and they just left it. At one point in the first half the goalie dropped it and nobody was there to take the opportunity to score. The last 20 minutes were the most exciting though!

I was looking for the fleece blanket Xiney....

tuppence · 16-03-2008 11:27am

It was great fun. They got better as they went on.We were over near the drums! And then of course saw (maybe a little too much of

)the famous Mooneys!

redarmyblues · 16-03-2008 12:37pm

Conditions were bad, the wind especially made it difficult for attracive football.
We did improve markedly in the last half hour, the introduction of Matthew Judge livened things up in our attack. Shamie Coleman gets better every time I see him, man of the match for me.

That's a fact. He was terrible, wouldn't let the game flow in any way.

I thought considering Drogs are defending league champs that Rovers showed they are not too far off the standard required to do well in the league this year.

Great crowd too. I thought Rovers played very well in the second half and I thought they might have snuck a goal, it's a pity they didn't, the Showgrounds would have went mental!

Rossibaby · 16-03-2008 3:52pm

ya would have been nice to get a goal for the crowd but hopefully we played good enough to get a crowd back for the bohs game

Mint Sauce · 18-03-2008 1:05am

good highlights package on rte this evening as well, spotted my self in the crowd too

cookie seams very confident about the season, as did the panal, especially on future home games, reakons will be hard to beat them at the show grounds, hopefully will perform well away as well,

shame through there will be no mooneys before or after the game this week

tulipandthistle · 18-03-2008 9:24am

yeah which numbty moved the match to good friday?? it was planned for the saturday and they moved it, canyou believe it??? only hubbie will be there

Mint Sauce · 21-03-2008 10:23am

bohs tonight guys, surprised the match on good friday to tbh

it was cold there last week, an extra layer might be called for tonight as well

Xiney · 21-03-2008 2:39pm

To be quite honest the only thing that's keeping me from bringing the whole bed clothes after last week is the fact that then I'd probably be so comfortable I'd probably fall asleep and I'd feel bad, then.

i will have the layers, the hat, and the gloves tonight, a football jersey and a jacket were just not sufficent last week

:pac:

Only1Rovers · 21-03-2008 3:55pm

Bohs are missing a few of their regular players for this evenings tie, Rovers should be in with a shout.

Time for Boco to shine!!!!!!!

tulipandthistle · 21-03-2008 4:02pm

Afraid me and the wee man won't be there tonight but hubby will be there making as much noise as possible!

We bought a Sligo Rovers shirt, scarf and mini football today for the wee man. He is soooooo cute!!! (always was though).

I'll be thinking of you when I'm in my warm house, eating a mountain of chocolate.

i just thought it was in refernce to paul cook, heard him being refered to as cookie on monday night soccer on rte

Rossibaby · 25-03-2008 3:03am

yup it's for cookie alright...they updated the music before games as it was terrible...when i was younger i'd go in 40 mins before kick off and sit in the stand and watch the lads warm up...they played the set of music once or twice testing it....terrible old stuff that included the theme tune to an english football show...great to see this rectified and more effort being put in in the PR department

guinnessdrinker · 25-03-2008 10:10am

Yeah, the music used to be terrible. I remember being at one match in the Showgies and we were sitting in the stand before the match talking about how bad the music was and they put on Silent Night by accident. The main problem about that was it was in April!

dingo dog · 28-03-2008 12:10am

i agree, the results this season have not been a true reflection of their perfomances! they should beat (i hope) U.C.D though!!

garth-marenghi · 28-03-2008 12:30am

have a sneaky feeling rovers will get a win, will be my first vist to ucd in a long while, looking forward to seeing the new ground,
