How many counties would you need to create from Mayo, Galway and Roscommon to give Leitrim and Sligo a shout at winning a Connacht title?

Sligo were mighty close to beating the eventual connacht winners Galway a few weeks ago.

John Fury really is an embarrassing clown. Wasn't throwing many heads at the big fellas.

That was pure dirt there. Cowardly and then done a runner.

Not honestly sure I could pick 3 Nirvana songs I like without using the Unplugged album.

Loved Nevermind when it first came out, but Nirvana are just a little too raw, too intense for a soft old chap like me.

I do think  your music tastes  change as you  get older.  I was a big U2 fan but I  struggled to name  a top 3 for them.

I find myself now pulling towards Neil Diamond and Kris Kristofferson. My younger self would hate me lol.

Rightfully so!

  Indeed! Can't  abide Diamond, but that's for another day....

Sweet Caroline has ruined it.

Not sure it changes so much as you just get bored with what you were once obsessed by.  Used to love The Pixies, The Police, The Stones, Bowie, Dylan (just to pick a few examples).  But I've heard all the songs too many times now, and, with a few exceptions, they've lost their ability to affect me.  I recognize that the music is still good, but I generally wouldn't choose to listen to any of the above.

Galway usually lay waste to teams weaker than them, the opposite of Wexford really. Hard to make a case for Antrim getting within 10 points

Burns slid in to catch the ball with a Donegal player about to come in and tackle him. I think he called the mark to give himself a few seconds to look at his options.

Also I don't think Burns would have had that kick in his locker.

They were shots to nothing, You could get a shot away and kill the ball and be set up behind. Its very odd that they called marks and then kicked backwards. Maybe a sign the pressure was getting to them?

Yeah, obviously easy to say in hindsight, but as far as I remember we got a couple of turnovers from pushing up on kickouts, take the shot and worst case it goes wide but you've a chance to get set and turn a kickout over.
