judging by twitter its sunday at 4pm for our judgement day! kerry v limerick is the appetiser at 2

i see on twitter that it seems to be saturday @ 6pm donegal v kildare, sunday @ 2pm kerry v limerck and mayo v cork @4pm

Look we will be huge underdogs but there is no use in waving the white flag just yet.

Cork are good, very good, All Ireland Champs.

I agree. we are a better organised team than we have been for a long time and there is a work ethic that has not been there before. I am not saying we will beat cork but i think we will not get the beating we did in 1993.
This year we kept our division 1 place and won the connact title. we are a work in progress and cork are the all ireland champions.
But the defeatist attitude on here is pathetic. Cork won an all ireland last year after knocking on the door for a few years. The bar has been set for us for this year now. Are we as bad as Liam Hayes and Spillane and the likes of those pricks say we are or are we a new mayo who will go to croke park and be competitive and not the teams of the past clueless, squandering chances and not able to seal the victories.
I don't think we will win the quarter final this year, but i do not think we will be beat off the pitch either.
One more point, I think it will be an insult to mayo football and our footballers if the supporters stay away for fear of an awful beating. In the words of Ciaran Fitzgerald -where is your f**king pride

this evening after the hurling on rte

thanks minder, taking into the account the rate of exchange its about the same price.

Can Mayo actually get Tyrone? Assuming the Tyrone v Armagh game is next weekend along with the 3 final round qualifier games and the quarter final draw is made afterwards, surely we cannot be drawn against them as there would be a chance we'd end up playing Roscommon again in the quarter final...?

if they make the draw next weekend we can not get the teams involved in the roscommon tie, but if it supposed to be an opendraw,then the draw would have to be put back a week. but this will not happen

l'm looking to get a 13" macbook pro february 2011 model. Does anyone know where is the best value to be found north or south it doesn't matter. Best at the minute seems to be about €1200. 

['To beat one of the Big Two in this Connacht final would definitely be massive]

Roscommon manager Fergal O'Donnell has kept faith with the same starting 15 who defeated Leitrim for Sunday's Connacht SFC final against Mayo.

Cathal Cregg meanwhile is determined to prove that Roscommon are worthy Connacht champions by reclaiming the title this year, while he also wants to avenge the heavy defeat of June of 2009.

He said: 'You'd still hear a lot of people saying that we got the easy route to the final last year and that Sligo took their eye off the ball.

'Sligo brought us back to level, we went ahead and they brought us level again and we still kicked on and won that game.

And as for the 20-point drubbing in 2009: 'I was just a sub that day but it was pretty humiliating and it'd be great to put that right this weekend.

'To beat one of the Big Two in this Connacht final would definitely be massive, and especially to retain back-to-back titles.'

Roscommon XV v Mayo in the Connacth SFC final at Dr Hyde Park, Sunday, 2pm:

1 Geoffrey Claffey, 2 Seán McDermott, 3 Niall Carty, 4 Stephen Ormsby, 5 David Keenan, 6 Peter Domican (Capt.), 7 Donal Ward, 8 Michael Finneran, 9 Karol Mannion, 10 Senan O'Grady, 11 Kevin Higgins, 12 Cathal Cregg, 13 Conor Devaney, 14 Senan Kilbride, 15 Donal Shine.

Its good he knows his place in the food chain of connacht football

i would bank roll a mayo all ireland win- maybe even hire mick o dwyer as a consultant (but he would do that for nothing!)

4 an outfield player must take the 45's or else just play them short if no one has the legs for it.

This kind of opinion baffles me - out of curiosity why do some people have the opinion that it has to be an outfield player who kicks 45s?
The reality is that there are not a huge number of footballers who have the distance to kick 45s from the ground. And anyway most free takers take kicks from the hands in modern day football. Goalkeepers on pretty much every team have the distance required to convert 45s and take more kicks from the ground than any other player.
Surely they are the most qualified then to attempt to convert 45s?
Look at Cluxtons success rate for the Dubs from long range frees for instance (and I know not many keepers have his accuracy from the placed ball by the way).

Am I imagining it or did ye're keeper not kick 2 long range points for ye on Sunday?

he did, but he had a return of 2 from 7 and fell on his arse twice hitting them. i have no problem a keeper hitting them but in our case it is not working.

4 points i would like to make about sundays game

1 conditions were brutal and in reality mayo will be better on a dry day
2 mayo improved greatly in the second half
3 no way should andy moran and dillion be dropped- dillion showed for a huge amount of ball
4 an outfield player must take the 45's or else just play them short if no one has the legs for it.

- have to get back to work now!

suppose that depends on how much you impress the ladies or how much lying is done to charm them!

great run in there! April we could get 15 points!

far from it, one of my mates went to the wine tasting event another night and couldn't believe his eyes.

lads,

friend of mine that runs firstdate.ie needs one man to fill a table of 6  (6 men and 6 women)for a dinner and cruise. at la peniche in Dublin. She can not get one for sunday night for love nor money. So she will give the place away in order not to disapoint the ladies!
Man has to be mid 30s+ and single (i feel like i'm running an escort agency)
dinner is at 5pm on sunday at la peinche - it is docked beside the mespil hotel.
email her at info@firstdate.ie or through her website www.firstdate.ie if you can help her out

hopefully someone will take her up on this free dinner
