Congrats to Ros, great performance overall and I think ye'll put it up to whoever ye meet next.

As a Sligoman I'm disappointed but still alright. I thought it was a fantastic match, much better then the rubbish that was on before it. I'm looking at you Ulster. I expected a lot more from Monaghan, anyways thats OT.

I thought we lost it ourselves today. Our defence was terrible and they are usually so good. Lazy lazy tackles all day and they kept giving the Ros men too much time on the ball. Where was the hard persistent tackling our defenders have being at for the past 3 years ?

Pulled ourselves back togeather in the second half but still made some really lazy tackles, giving away stupid frees.

Shine was excellent but I was not impressed with his Ronaldo impressions for the last 5 minutes. I understand them but I really hate that shite.

It was a missed opportunity surely but I for one amn't taking it too badly. I think this Sligo team can make it to the semi's or ,lord forbid, the final depending on the draw we get.

Obama's presidency in doubt 

Cork hurlers not happy with the result

It might be some craic yet if Davy sees this and can remember the match and who was sitting where

Lads we all know hurling is a far better game to watch.
Football these days is the same boring hand passing, kicking the s@~t out of each other and very little scoring.
Now do not get me wrong, the footballers are fitter than the hurlers but the game as a whole is not good to watch.
That's why hurling is on ahead of football most of the time.

The footballers are fitter ? How do you figure that ?

I'm a mainly football man myself but i know loads of huring guys who are FAR fitter then their football counterparts and i know a lot of them who play football as well as hurling simply for the sole purpose of staying fit.

I'd really like to see what you base that comment on. If your talking about the weaker counties then yeah of course, but if your talking about the big 3 and any more of the top teams then your dead wrong.

Please somebody tell me that RTE are going to show one of the football games on Saturday on their website it's only stating that the hurling will be on.
If it's only the hurling again then I will be completely pissed off. Take a look at the facts, half the country don't even play hurling yet every time there's football or hurling call to be made it's the small ball game that gets the coverage. Truth is I've never played hurling, don't have hurling club within 10 miles of me and while I'd like to see waterford win it couldn't really give a toss who lifts the Liam McCarthy Cup.
On the other hand I love football yet coverage of the qualifiers has been scant even though the games are do or die unlike some of the hurling non-events we've been shown.
I'm totally fed up with the hurling snobbery that prevails. I reckon that the most exciting game in either code on Saturday will be Donegal v Monagha but we'll probably have to make do with 10 minutes of highlights on the Sunday Game. The sooner Setanta secure more of the rights to the football the better as far as I'm concerned

1/4 final > qualifer

They were 2 great games today.
