“Even if the sun ceases to rise, Even if the winds stops to blow, the name of Sligo Rovers will shine and shine forever like a morning glittering star in the sky.”

9. Your fictional heroes are Queen Maeve of Connacht and Benny the Bull
10. You know your team plays in the most scenic setting in the country… “Sligo is Surprising.”
11. There’s only one Rovers, the “other” team is called Shams.
And also, Benny the Bull isn’t fictional, he’s completely real as he’ll tell you every chance he gets!
Haven’t seen Benny for ages!
You’re forgetting No. 11 – the pain of the 1978 FAI Cup Final and ‘that’ penalty!
I know one sign that if your a Sligo rovers fan, you don’t have a clue about football.
Tip for your next trolling expedition, Charles – use copy & paste so you can spell “you’re” correctly.
Sign #11: You follow THE CHAMPIONS
As if I would take a tip off a guy who is growing a ridicules looking beard because you can’t grow nothing on top, good day to you sir.
It’s spelt ‘ridiculous’ – at least you’re consistent.
Is that all you can come up with is the correction of spelling you sad old baldy man.
Surely having a huge chip on your shoulder and a severe inferiority complex about the real Rovers has to be a main one?
You know your a league of Ireland when shams are known as rovers and sligo rover are just sligo ha
