First bit of writing I've done in some time. 5 thoughts from Sligo Rovers' important win over Waterford last night: facebook.com/groups/sligoro…
Oh what a night. #bitored 🔴⚪️❤️
I believe the last time that Sligo Rovers trailed by 2+ goals in a LOI match and still managed to win was 23 Sept 2006 against St Pats. The last time they did it away was 8 November 1981, also against Pats. Rovers won 2-3 after a youngster named Paul McGrath had put Pats 2-0 up.
Quite the first match. Only thing that could have really topped that was Lomboto burying his chance. I am sure Ill be back... the drive from west Dingle for Derry may be asking too much though 😅 #bitored
Feel bad for big John. Wasnt a red let alone a multi-game suspension. Ridiculous stuff. There has to be something in the refs' official match report or some other camera angle that were not seeing. Really feels like bait the whole time from Dyer especially with him gone now
Both red cards from the Connacht derby gone up from a one-game ban last week to a three-week ban this week
Forget 60 grand. We will accept 6 million for Owen and no less. 😤
New League of Ireland star finalising Irish eligibility as star continues to rise. Sligo Rovers boss John Russell also confirms numerous clubs are interested in 19-year-old Owen Elding (and there is no release clause in the contract that runs to 2027). the42.ie/owen-elding-sl…
Oh what have I done. Crewe Alexandra have surely seen this tweet and activated Reece's release cause. Gutted about this. It's not quite a Morahan feeling but the stomach dropped when I read the news. 😩
That match had just about everything. Reece Hutchinson hasn't always been the most sound defender, but has prevented at least 2 sure goals over the past 2 matches. He covers so much ground. Look at that contribution tonight. Huge tick up in his defending lately. Gives his all.
Redemption arcs, red cards, game-saving tackles - Sligo Rovers - Galway had it all I try to do it justice with 5 Thoughts: facebook.com/groups/sligoro… #Bitored | #Since1928
Mad game in the Showgrounds before and after the double red card and it's more redemption for a Sligo Rovers player: Francely Lomboto off the post twice prior to the back-heel goal. Connacht Derby doesnt exist to some. But this is some solid proof it is alive and well.

Ah, just a few memories... Need to do some digging for the 2016 trip to Denver! Cc: @SOrangeJuice @NJHoopsHaven @JPGuerette @DalyDoseOfHoops
