A Bit O’ Red goes a long way. Historic, unforgettable night in Sligo town, as a club struggling for mid-table security in the League of Ireland outworked and outclassed Motherwell, in equal measure.
“It’s significant [as the club is] run by the fans and the committee,” said Rovers manager John Russell. “The amount of work they are trying to do; they are trying to raise money to build a new stadium here and a training ground so moments like this are going to help off the pitch.” “The product is there and it has been for a number of years, the quality of player is in the league,” said Russell. “We are doing our best at the moment but our hands are tied with finances, the way the league is being run, so it is hard to invest and improve stadiums quickly.
“It is what we want but it is relentless,” said Russell. “It seems like we have been on the road for two months, which seems crazy, but it is what players want. We are professional footballers.” But this was no geological event. Sligo identified a Motherwell weakness in the first leg when Aidan Keena punished Bevis Mugabi’s error to lob the only goal. From the off here, Keena went straight at the tall Ugandan and kept at him until drawing a free from Swedish referee Bojan Pandzic.Mugabi was hooked on 71 minutes but any Motherwell player could have followed as they look in an awful state of disrepair, winning just twice in 2022.
