do ye know anything about a centre half called almeida i think he used to play for you, he's on trial with us at the minute?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Right that's it I'm going to watch Sligo

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

is he good?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Acclaimed centre-half/defensive midfielder. Didn't get much of a chance here (five games max.) and played for Swansea once or twice. Rumours circled about him having a bit of an attitude problem, however regardless of that he was a good technical defender and many feel he should have been given a better chance with us.

Mauro Almeida, just checked there he is with swindon or was with them recently anyway. he's just on trial with us and will be playing in a friendly next monday

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Yes they do, the home end's covered now, so we can watch you dissolve while we stay dry :D.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

always sunny in Accy so with Hollands meat pie in hand and a good cup of char i'll be happy,
try and get a few more fans on if you can then you'll sound like your at home ;)

So I get back to work after a holiday and find this.:mad:

Not impressed. In my opinion, one of the most skillfull players at ASFC in the modern era. Perhaps a bit lightweight for this division, I wouldn't be surprised to see him at a higher level in the future (where there are fewer cloggers).

I am very concerned that two players have left the club with "homesickness" cited as a reason, only to pitch up no nearer home. Roscoe D'Sane is from South London, I think, probably no more than 60 miles nearer Torquay than it is Hyndburn and the last time I checked, Sligo was further from France than we are.

Both players did have one fairly obvious thing in common.

Hope I'm wrong, but it points to something very seriously wrong...

Rommy scored a penalty on his Sligo debut after coming on as a 60th minute sub: Sligo Rovers F.C. - Athlone and Rovers stalemate as Boco gets off mark

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Ah bless him, well done Rommy - looks like the good luck bear is working :)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

In January 2008, Chris Butler left Barrow and moved to Sligo in the Eircom Irish Premier League for a small fee.

Mark Boyd - He moved to Eircom Irish Premier Lesague side Sligo Rovers in the summer of 2007, before his move to Barrow in January 2008.

From Sligo messageboard - Ventre (now left Sligo) would certainly cost us points. You like to see a bit of passion in a player, but some of his tackling is downright dangerous.

Swings and roundabouts in a small world. ;)

Barrow fans weren't happy to see Psycho leave, but Sligo could offer a full-time contract. Be interesting to see what Sligo fans think of Chris's tackling. :)

Paul Cook's travel agency - any more we don't know about?<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Not quite a Stanley link but Alan Moore who was on trial last night was a team mate of Cook's at Burnley. Jobs for the boys syndrome ? :D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Rommy said yes the lucky bear worked :D They have their final friendly game on friday

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Anyone know when their season starts - I've started saving in me penny jar for the first 'Sligo Stanley' away trip :p

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Season runs from 7th March to 14th November
Sligo Rovers F.C. - Fixtures
