Same as that, but it's COVID that's doing it for me.

Two years of disjointed or Frankenstein league and straight knock out championship, with little or no fans.

Can't wait for it to get back to normal.

Yeah this is it
Watching on TV at home just does nothing for me

Very best of luck to the Mayo team today.

Mayo 1/100, dont recall ever seeing odds like that before. Mayo -15 is only evens too.

Is Peter Naughton starting for Sligo?

We can win this by as much as we want
Complete mismatch
No injuries is the outcome we need now

Division 4 team
High ball in
Crossbar hit

Unforgivable if we concede to these

A glorified training session....let's hope the forwards can rack up a few scores and boost confidence.

Hennelly having to wear his jersey inside out is the main worry so far

Couldn't we brought the alternative kit jersey for him.

Great to see Darren McHale having such a good first half

What a waste of time for both Sligo and Mayo. This year, the GAA really could’ve tried something different, but instead we’re left with half a league & half a championship both of which are awful

It’s the first game of the championship, a little early to be passing judgement

Was a golden opportunity to try a combined league/chsip format but no surprise they failed to grasp it

It's panning pout exactly as expected as will most lopsided games in the cship

Sure knockout was awful last year too , we were glad of it at the time but having half a league and half a championship is literally the worst format they could’ve chosen for this summer. Not to mention Sligo getting one championship match in two years - how are they meant to progress?

At least this should put the final nail in the coffin of the idea that a knockout championship was better .

Couldn't ask for anymore than that.

Paddy Durcan and Lee Keegan are playing as well as ever.

Darren McHale a huge positive.

Ryan O Donoghue's free taking was very good as expected.

Is the Sligo goalkeeper any relation of T.J. Kilgallon?

Niall Murphy was excellent for Sligo.Top player.

TJ's lads play for St. Marys in Sligo Town, the Sligo keeper is from St. Farnans.

Hard to believe that Peter Naughton can't get a game for sligo. I'd have thought he'd be considered as good / better than Darren McHale from a knockmore point of view

Can't work that one out.

One of the best young forwards in recent years ( in the Mayo club championship ) can't get any game time on a Sligo team that finished bottom of division 4.

No offence meant to the Yeats county.

I'd have him at the least the equal of Darren McHale.

charolais0153

Full back line looked dodgy at times yesterday. One of best thing about game yesterday was no 50 so hennelly wasn't allowed come halfway up the field:rolleyes:

Some players shine at club but can’t cut it at county. There have been a few examples over the years.
And no offence intended to Sligo either but if he couldn’t get game time yesterday then he wasn’t going to get any game time for Mayo this year either.

Eamonn Kilgannon according to the Sligo GAA site here

A no win that game on Saturday. Sligos physicality was so far off Mayo it was strange. Why is that I wonder?

McHale showed well there Saturday as did the other 9 scorers. AOS just destroys teams like this. He was out on his feet at the end though.

Very good Mayo news podcast with McStay and Carney. Both predicted Sligo to score 11 points which is interesting. They are very interesting to listen to. I really would have liked to have seen McStay get a shot at the Mayo job but that has probably sailed.

On a lighter note!:D

Bit of serious irony in the ad extolling the virtues of the Hurling Championship on RTE at the mo....at one stage Limerick player Kyle Hayes say...‘it’s so interesting ,no teams can be taken for granted’.....or words to that effect.

He obviously wasn’t watching the cricket scores put up against the weaker counties in Hurling last year and last weekend.

Mayo were always going to cruise past a young unproven Sligo team......it was over as a contest after 10 mins!

Poor choice of game to have on TV.

Will be a similar story against Leitrim who are missing Ryan O’ Rourke.....their main scoring forward through injury.

mayo.mick

Anyone know whats the story with tickets for the Connacht final (IF we get there of course!)

Yet probably still the most likely of last weekends fixtures to draw an audience, given the support that Mayo have.

Its a first come "who you know" basis. The Clare game and last weekends game had people who don't have squad involvement or on boards. At least when its on TV they should try and keep out of the way of the camera :rolleyes:

So I'd say you've 2 chances in hell of getting one.

Frankie Dolan

The irony of all his comments must surely be lost on him !
They are a quare breed .
They think they are our rivals for some bizarre reason .
They aren’t . Connacht is about Mayo Vs Galway . With the occasional interloper .
Leitrim and Sligo are their rivals . The sooner they accept that the sooner they can live happier lives

He went to town on Maughan. As if Maughan started talking about what Mayo were going to do in a beaten Roscommon dressing room. It’s some imagination Frankie has. Letting on that Maughan dropped him cause he wasn’t good enough, he was dropped cause they were an uncontrollable bunch of ***** and Maughan wanted some discipline

The comments on switching to Westmeath were interesting, loyalty mustn’t be in his vocabulary

seligehgit

He's a bit of character.

I enjoyed the podcast last night.

Eoin Sheehan drew him out in a not too subtle fashion.

Looking in from the outside it appeared as though John Maughan a well known disciplinarian wanted a clean sweep.

There was always likely to be a backlash to such a comprehensive clear out.

So although I can understand that Frankie would take umbrage from a personal viewpoint he might be tad disingenuous re Maughan's motives.

Maughan for anyone who has worked/trained under is military style with a wink and a smile but a bloody determination and will to win where'd he'd kill you and your granny.
Some lads can't handle that and Frankie was always a soft touch on the pitch spending most of his time whinging and moaning to a ref and Maughan didn't tolerate him.
In some ways he's akin to our own Conoreen, but not as good a footballer.

He has embarrassed himself with that and caused chuckles across GAA circles not just in Mayo where Maughan has played but also in Clare where is well respected but also in Roscommon where Dolan was a wannabe spice boy and Offaly where he has worked wonders so far.

I've a lot of Roscommon buddies who really don't carry the hate that this lad and a handful of Roscommon "fans" have. Its lads like the barber (can't think of his name) who love and breath Rossie football and Cake Curran or Dermot Early who are a proper reflection of Roscommon fans and former players.

Big game this weekend, I can't see Galway not winning this.

Is there any truth to this rumour at all?

I've heard diddly squat re same in the interim,hardly credible that such a setback would not leak out in a meaningful fashion nor make it's way into the public domain.

Admittedly I'm a tad out of the loop this week.

eastmayo

Well let's hope its just a rumour.Time will tell I sopose.

How's about Mayo ceding home advantage for the final, (no real advantage anyway as most of youse live in Galway), and moving the game to Croker and allow 8K to attend?
