SLIGO ROVERS’ GOALKEEPING coach Rodney Dalzell has resigned following an altercation with some of the club’s supporters after their 2-1 loss to Bray Wanderers yesterday.
The loss to bottom-of-the-table Bray came as a surprise, particularly given that the Seagulls have not trained collectively for a number of weeks owing to unpaid wages. The result led embattled boss Ger Lyttle to comment: “We should all be ashamed of ourselves, myself included.”
Sligo are now just two points clear of the relegation zone and the controversy surrounding Dalzell has compounded their woes.
A club statement read: “Sligo Rovers regret yesterday’s post-game exchange between a member of our backroom team and some supporters.
“The exchange occurred when passions ran high in the aftermath of the full-time whistle of a disappointing day. We believe our staff care deeply about the club but on this occasion it was not construed in a fitting manner.
“As a result, goalkeeping coach Rodney Dalzell offered his resignation this morning which the club accepted by mutual agreement. This is an admirable course of action taken by Rodney, and one we respect.
“The level of support we receive as a club is extraordinary and we place huge value on it.
“We are focused on improving results on the pitch and now continue preparations ahead of Friday’s game in Dublin.”

De mori looks like a pub brawler.
Minus the brawling, more like a pub customer. Pathetic waste of money for the Crowd..
Haye is an insufferable bollox
Worst production ever. And I thought tv3 was bad. What was up with the setanta guy’s interview at the end. Talking about Haye’s finances…
Switching mics after about 5 minutes so the attending audience could hear the post fight interview was amateur hour
In fairness it was the first fight they ever covered although you are right there where some amateur moments
God I thought we were rid of him.
Haye looked like his bitch tits are getting out of control.
@Rob
That says more about your than it does about Haye!
*more about you
Was referring to alleged steroid use (in Dubai) – not just because he has female looking breasts, which is a symptom. Not my type of thing :)
Has to be the strangest post fight interview I’ve seen, he was pretty much insulting Haye, also changed subject way too quick. Haye copped it too but done well to stay professional
Was it Tony O Donaghue ?
* Donoghue
Job done. Hopefully he starts fighting decent opposition soon.
There is no such thing as decent opposition in the heavyweight division. It’s a complete joke.
Are you implying Haye is the best in the division so?
Pointless fight…
Not a big fan of haye but he got the job done with ease, he looks in very good condition, think he still has a place in the division, maybe enough to get a belt
Pathetic fight but haye looks in serious condition! He will trouble many a heavyweight! Would love to see him fight d whyte! I think he will have to in order to get to top
you know you’ve made it when your fighting on Dave.next up,mock the week,from 5 years ago.
Does this really count????
“Testing myself” – not really! This is why people turn away from boxing, majority fights are complete mismatches, complete non-event
There are two heavyweight title fights starting shortly in New York.
Hayemaker is back
The fight was a bit of a joke. The guy stood there and did nothing.
it would be good to see haye fight Anthony joshua
De Mori looked like he was in slow motion throwing that jab and leaving himself wide open to be levelled!
