Sligo Update
 

Congratulations to Paul Cook's Sligo Rovers who finished 3rd in the Irish league so qualify for Europe once more. They've already won the EA Sports Cup Final (Sportsfile - Sligo Rovers v Monaghan United - EA Sports Cup Final Photos | page 1) (Is that the league cup?) and they're in the Irish Cup Final against Shamrock Rovers on Sunday 14th.

Rommy's still there and seems to have had quite an impact. And Danny Ventre's there too.

i heard Evil was there as well

Re: Sligo Update
 

Evil picked up an ankle injury in preseason and apparently asked to be released rather than sitting on his butt and taking his money. From what I hear its a nasty one and could be a finisher for him.

Re: Sligo Update
 

Unlike another ex-Stanley player who (allegedly) picked up a season and a bit's wages from Sligo after breaking his leg and knee-cap in a car smash and then moved elsewhere.

Re: Sligo Update
 

Would get his wages from the insurance company more like it:rolleyes:

Re: Sligo Update
 

Quick update, Sligo won the cup on penalties.

A comment from one of the irish papers

Match report:
War of the Rovers is won by the West - The Irish Times - Mon, Nov 15, 2010

There were two ex-Accy players in Sligo's starting eleven, Rommy and Danny Ventre.

Re: Sligo Update
 

Billy Dennehy in for the opposition as well.

Re: Sligo Update
 

Rommy's now with Shanghai East Asia FC, presumably brushing up on his Shanghainese and Mandarin. :)

Their website is at ????????????? - ???? and, for anyone struggling to find his photo, Rommy's squad number is 5.

Re: Sligo Update
 

Is that a takeaway in Clayton ?:D
