not certain BUT.......
 

i think some one has had ther contract terminated at the club:confused:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

A clue...???

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well its a player from what iv heard it sounds to be true. i wud say keep an eye on the fishy site but then you wouldnt find out untill about 3days after every other media source has reported the story:D.
untill its official i might have the wrong information but it does sound like some one has been shown/kicked through the door

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Mr Boco.......

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::(:(:(:(:(:eek::eek::eek: :eek::eek:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Its on fishy site left by mutual consent - no surprise really bright lights of Warrington here boco comes:p:D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Blue Square is a coming…….

Gutted, I like Mr Boco, no doubt he’ll go on to better things. I hope he does well; moves up and prospers. All the Best Mr Boco, you wont be forgotten.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

******, ****** and thrice ******!!!! I know there's been reports that Rommy's not been happy but I for one am gutted :(
Good luck to Rommy wherever he goes from here though - he'll always be remembered as the scorer of Stanleys first goal back in the Football league - as well as for his mean moves on the dance floor at the presentation night do when we won the league :) Just a shame we won't get to say a proper goodbye

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

couldnt we have sold him? surely the african nations exposure would have gottten somebody interested?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Very sad news indeed, I know that Rommy was a little injury prone this season so we didnt see the best of Him but as a person he was always the gentleman.

Good luck Rommy and thankyou.

I must agree with Dav007 though, surely it would have been better to sell rather than let Him go?

Who's next I find myself asking?:eek:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Mr C****** maybe?.......:rolleyes: :eek: :D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

They probably missed the transfer window and reckon that the money they'll save on wages would equal the amount they'd get at the next transfer opportunity.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well ther you are guess it became official, it all happend at the reserves today, think he were expecting to play in that game i spoke to him there. i know this has been mentioned in another thread but do you think the telegraph report was true? i know that the irish league was mentioned today and i quote JB "cookey i a friend of mine but he'll try and sell ewt, just make sure u certain lad" to be fair if he stays in england i feel its conferance football or lower for he lad untill we sign him up in a season a so like we have done wi the old guard this season:D
anyway smashing lad to have at the club glad to have known him. even today spoke to people that were at the reserves good luck mr boco hope everything goes well

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

:(:(:(

sad and shocked but had a feeling something was gonna happen!!!

GOOD LUCK BOCO WHEREVER YOU MAY GO

Oh and thanks for the goals, laughs and big smile :D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

is this us clearing the decks for a loan striker:)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

stuart fleetwood:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D i wish!! This is a quiet way of saying WE GOT NO MONEY:(:(

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

I liked Rommy a good footballer & true gent:)

All the Best for the future Rommy:)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

:( Gutted really am and my 2 lads are upset:(. As much as i wish Rommy well and good look :)' just wish it was'nt true especialy after the fans forum in the crown when boco was mentioned and we we're told their was'nt a problem :(

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Sad. Wonder if Coley will have anything to say?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

My partner is not a Stanley Fan, in fact I considered divorce, but in truth she was gobbsmacked when I told her Rommey was leaving, she even watched the ACN matches too see him.

I really think this is a bad day for us.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

If the Telegraph story was true, then it won't be the first time that players have been forced out of the club due to xenophobic attitudes.

I think there's a tendency when players leave the club to sentimentalise them. Boco was ok in the Conference, but to be honest he hasn't really made the step up since we won promotion. I can't see any English league clubs lining up to sign him. If he does stay in the UK I'd be surprised if he became a regular in any team above Blue Square Premier level.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Quite upset at this but not surprised.

Gutted for a few reasons;
1) Alone; Rommy's presence in a Stanley shirt brought life to the whole team. Passes improved when he was involved, we showed skill and confidence.
2) How great was it to see a lad so happy to play football in the modern day! Of course, with this much personal passion in his game; it was inevitable that with things going wrong off the pitch, performances upon it would be affected.
3) As others have said if we'd have put him on the transfer list in the summer we'd have achieved a transfer fee, however as it is we've probably had to pay his contract out!
4) A true gent.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

It's another obstacle out of the way for the return of fat boy McEvilly:(

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Don't put bloody ideas in his head............:eek:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

came 'home' for the Leicester game last year and applauded Rommy as he headed for the dressing rooms after the game - seeing this, he came over to shake hands with this ordinary fan. What a gent - other than Mullers once saying hello during a warm up, no other player has acknowledged my support.Shame to see him leave - respect and best wishes, Rommy.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

That reminds me of when he first joined us and when he was leaving the pitch I shouted "I love you Rommy" in French..he grinned and gave a big thumbs up...reminded him about it a year later on a night out and he remembered it, and we had a good laugh about it :D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Agreed. Very sorry to see him go, but if a player is unsettled and doesn't want to stay, then it's pointless to stand in his way. Bonne chance Rommy, et tous nos meilleurs souhaits pour l'avenir!

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

My daughter and her classmates loved it when he went to a local school to help with their french lesson, his visit persueded some of them to attend Stanley games.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

And you got a sweaty cuddle behind the clayton end goal line after he scored :D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Ssshhhhhhhhhh :o:D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Doesn't that apply to most of our players?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

That horrible thought had crossed my mind too - and with now we have only 1 fit striker available it could well happen (god forbid!)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

So does everyone who went to the fans forum stiill think our 'dynamic duo' were being completely open & honest?:confused:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

That is depressing news ! I'm just off to put the oven on,regulo 8, and stick my head in ! B8ll8CKS !!!!!!!!

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Who is the one fit striker? It can't be Mully because Coley says Mully is not a striker he is a target man.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

tomorrows Observer contains a big piece on this.

[=Boco] I am sad to go ...... but the time was right. I have been here since 2005 and it is not the club but I just want to move on .... I have just fallen out of love with it all and when that happens it is time to move on..... I have never seen fans like them. They travel miles to watch Accrington and keep singing, no matter what the score [/quote]

[=Boco] I know there was a newspaper article saying I felt left out but I was misquoted on that [/quote]

bon voyage Rommy and thanks for the memories

[=Bocowhiledrivingcrappyclubnissanbubblecar] yes ee's **** car no? [/quote]

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Gutted which player am I gonna ambush into being the ladies team lucky mascot now!!! We never lost when he came to watch, in fact we got our first draw and our first win whilst in his presence!!! I'll never forget the look on his face when the final whistle went on our first win and 30 odd people rushed on to the pitch and started jumping around like we'd won the world cup, total confusion combined with the biggest smile on the planet!!!! I'll miss him. :(

One lad who in his own words was definately not a 'bad player'!!!:D

Good luck Rommy.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Gutted, Cant believe he`s going

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

am not too fussed to be honest we need players who want to be here and if he didnt then no point keepeing him. coleman says he was homesick so if he signs for any1 else i will be very dissappointed. bocos main problem was he didnt really have a proper position.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Apparently he had suffered a very bad facial injury...:(

Good luck Rommy you deserved better.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

now where have I heard that before?? :rolleyes:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Aye, it's starting to have a very familiar ring ............. David Brown suffered the same ailment.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well lads.....im a sligo rovers supporter, we're in the premier league here in ireland....paul cook is our manager!!
ye think boco could join us?? heard something the other day.....

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

I don't think it's likely to be honest. He thought Accrington was too rural for him so can't see him moving to Ireland. Best of luck Rom wherever you go.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

did ye like cooky out of interest?

hopefully boco comes....from what ive been reading here and on other sites he seems a good player and a lovely fella

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Cook was a superb player when he first came to us however when age caught up with him his performances on the pitch dwindled. He was a very good coach for us though; personally I feel we've desperately missed a coach who carried out his role at the club since his departure.

p.s; you are right about Boco - true gentleman and a gifted footballer.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well he's a fans favourite here now, he got us playing some top class football last season, we're in our pre season here now btw.
he is always totally honest with fans and media, a great character

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Very true, i miss cooky not only was he a great character onfield & a great coach [yeh i feel we have missed his coaching style] very instrumental on getting the team up to the league, but also great with the fans a people person & presence in clubhouse, very friendly approachable guy, always said hello then chat to u if you've known him for ages & always said goodbye before leaving:alright:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Sligo Rovers pre-season tour!!!!!!!!!!

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

yeah he's a gent. we also signed sean doherty the other week, scired yesterday ina friendly, what you make of him?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

The opinions on this would justify a thread in their own right but it might be monotonous in its unamity.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

definitely talented but seemed scared of putting his foot in due to injuries he has received. We all really wanted him to succeed with us but it seemed like we were carrying a passenger most of the time. Hopefully, he'll get past his mental block and will show the promise again that made him one of Englands most expensive teenagers once upon a time.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

He's signed for Sligo

Sligo Rovers F.C. - Rovers sign Benin international

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well you can forget all that rubbish about homesickness then

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Hmmmmmmmmmmm been thinking all sorts here bout why he left. Feel it was because he was away with ANC that deal done after window closed with "mutal agreement" statement.

Good luck Boco in whatever you do.

Its just a shame it looks back door-ish the way things have happened

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

The homesickness thing didn't really ring true to be honest, just hope that Rommy's happy at Sligo & that Cooky looks after him properly.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

i go out for carnaval and when i come back i receive such a bad new :o

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

What? You mean the bright lights of "big city" Warrington weren't good enough to make him stay?;)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

very happy with the news yesterday that he signed, we''ll take care of him!!

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

new nickname for Boco?? mogwai (from Gremlins) "bright light, bright light"

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

He will be fine unless you take Lee (Bullyboy) McEvilly on loan.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Lee and the Scouse mafia have a habit of driving away talent !:rolleyes:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

I'll say one thing for McEvilly, he always gave everything he had, which is more than can be said about other players who have been 'championed' on here.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Too true!!!

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Both fists, elbows and feet were his favourites if I remember rightly

no place for that thug in any decent footballing side!

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Touche :D Lol

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

irony:confused::D:D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

No, French!! :D:p:D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well good luck to him i like to think paul will treat him well, didnt know so many ex stanley playeers (well 4) were playing for cookey, shall keep a closer eye than what i have been doing on sligo nxt season. yes evil DOES have an attitude problem but if he comes back to the club and the fans give him a chance you never know we may have a striker that can score goals :)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

whilst I wouldn't want to knock any returning player that particular player has already returned and failed to turn the tide of public opinion. He neither performed on the pitch as a footballer nor endeared himself to the fans with his repeateed thuggery

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Not just me then ;)

Cheers Macca you too have seen enough of this blokes exploits on the pitch to make the same assumption that's possibly shared by his team mates and coleman no doubt got rid fast in order to stop the rot.

Looking forward to next months game by which time you might of turned a corner but it'll be interesting this time round i'm sure
Still think you have one of the best strikers in the league in Mullin so you'll always carry some threat up top, yep can't wait and have we got a roof over our heads yet?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

yes, its called the Cow Shed;)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

See the away ends still uncovered blimey some things never change for the better :rolleyz8:

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

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.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

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 ;)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

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...

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

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

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

well seeing as my kids are away end of july/beginning of aug, I am thinking of making a trip over for the 2nd Aug

sligo rovers v cork city

anyone else fancy it?? If there's a few I am prepared to look into how much it would cost etc....

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Stanley will probably have a friendly that day.

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Probably will have a friendly with sligo at some point:D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Leave Manchester 08:50 Friday 1st August arrive Sligo 10:15, leave Sligo Sunday 3rd August 13:00 arrive Manchester 14:20. Total cost including taxes £125.14

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Thanks for that Jeff :)

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

If I can afford it I'd definately be up for it - can you imagine the look on Rommy's face - then again he did invite us over :D

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

does anybody know what their attendances are like?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Went to watch on of the sligo rovers games about 3 years back now,

one side of the family is from a small town called tobercurry about 30 mins from sligo

would be a lot cheeper to get over there if one of you was willing to drive as you could get ferry the just drive over, plus then you have a car to get around in :) and its only about a 3and half hour drive

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

did uncle fran go with ya john?

Re: not certain BUT.......
 

Sligo sounds like fun for a Sligo Stanley reunion!!! I'm in please

Reckon we could take a bus load?
