Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

lost there first game of the season 3-1 to st patricks athletic, apparntly almeida was at fault for one of the goals boco, butler, ventre, almeida and sean all played in the game

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Are you sure Ventre played? I heard he was suspended.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

my mistake your absulty right, i just got on a roll nameing are ex players seemed odd 2miss one off:D sorry

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Actually, it's not unusual for Ventre to be suspended. Apparently it's for a sending off last season and carried forward to this one. :D

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Really, and here's me thinking he modelled himself on Cav. :rolleyes:

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Sligo play there first home game tomorrow against Drogheda United, Danny Ventre to return from suspension- and prolly walk in to a new one:D:D kick off 8pm. Why do they kick off so late in this league?

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

I dunno why tbh.

Most games take place on Friday evenings.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

yes i noticed that, but do you not have football at 3pm on a Saturday over there? serioulsy what do you do on a saturday afternoon with out it? anyway hope you get the 3points tomorrow

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

we go drinking for the afternoon:D

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Sligo's first home match kicks off at 8pm tonight. Presumably, that's to leave the afternoon free for drinking - no wonder he's a brewer! If you've nothing better to do, there's a good chance of a commentary on http://www.oceanfm.ie/onair/listen.php but don't blame me if it doesn't work. Danny Ventre and two others return from suspension.

There's a match report and team line up from the away defeat at Sligo Rovers F.C. - Bit O'Red first game ends in defeat.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

dannys playing center mid sean left mid almuda cb and chris lb and boco upfront

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

That's where we went wrong with Danny Ventre, always played in defence - things might've been different if we'd tried him in midfield :rolleyes:

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Just keep Ventre away from the cruet set ;)

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Sligo Rovers are mentioned on the Wikipedia site which gives details of the current squad. If you want a laugh click on the Chris Butler link: Chris Butler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Versatile lad is psycho.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Ha, ha, I'd forgotten about that unfortunate incident - typical Danny :rolleyes:

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Don't know the original story, although can imagine.

But if he could pass the salt, I'd be surprised. :rolleyes:



...... Taxi!

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Tonight's Sligo v Drogheda United match finished 0-0. Rommy was substituted after picking up an injury in the second half. Psycho got booked.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

he missed a cupple of chances but played well

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

For any Sligo fans, don't worry he'll be back in a few months. ;)

How's he finding the commuting from Warrington, btw. :)

As for Psycho. :rolleyes: ......... I googled him once, it wasn't pleasant.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

whos Psycho?

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Danny 'Two Feet' Ventre.

The name Brewer comes from the fact that my second team are Burton Albion.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Chris Butler :eek:

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

We're getting a good feelings about this squad the Cookie Monster is putting together.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

we were robbed last night.bohs2-1rovers

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Ventre booked, I notice. ;)

Great name for ref, btw, Hugo Whoriskey. :)

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

I know there's stuff on their official site at Sligo Rovers F.C. but does anyone from Sligo have a link to a local newspaper that has Sligo news and match reports?

An England team once beat Australia 17-0. The Aussie goalie was called Norman Conquest!

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

last time i checked the Sligo Post website used to have a digital edition of the weekly paper so it could be viewed online.

Sligo Post

i cant access the webpage ATM,so i dont know if the website is still active.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

its not being updated since 31jan.have you tried the champion or the sligo weekender

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

Thanks, both. The Weekender has up to date sports pages at Sligo Weekender: Sport. The Champion itself is out of date but from its search facility I was directed to the Irish Independent which has a dedicated Eircom League page at Eircom League of Ireland Football News | Clubs Soccer Championship 2008 - Independent.ie.

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

sorry i forgot the champion was reacntly taken over

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

i'd say for anybody thinking of making this trip that they register their interest ASAP.

Sligo are a club of similar stature to ourselves with crowds of around 2000 (?) The fans we have met in previous years have commented on the similarites between the clubs and now that we have a good few ex-reds playing there this should be amplified. The trip is likely to family oriented but make no mistake there will be ample opportunity to sample the local nightlife. And if there isn't one we'll make one!

This will also be a good opportunity to show the Irish what it is really like to support your team. When was the last time you were in a large group of like minded football fans, abroad, singing Stanley songs? and Rommy songs?

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)

Re: Sligo Rovers (Sligo Stanley)
 

a big game coming up at the weekend in the cup vs shamrock rovers should be a good game.
