Connacht SFC 2022

How come his Lad ended up in Sligo, (yip I know his mother from there). From the games I seen of him this year he was good enough for both the Kerry and Dublin panels. Does that lad not live in Dublin.

Eligible under the parentage rule. Same way Conor Cox switched to Roscommon .
Spillane never featured for Kerry underage, so would have been a bit of the Senior panel. A few Sligo players work in Dublin, so its no big deal that Spillane plays club football in Dublin.

Great effort by New York. Anyone check in on Pat Spillane, he didn't sound well in commentary, could hardly finish a sentence

Yes, was emotionally involved in the game and you could sense his anxiety. Nice of him to volunteer himself for this junket. An all expenses paid trip to NY to see the young lad come off the bench and a paid seat to watch the game to bout!

That a grass or astroturf pitch the sligo, New york game on, the pitch linings a disaster.

Astroturf surface.

Great effort by New York. Anyone check in on Pat Spillane, he didn't sound well in commentary, could hardly finish a sentence

His first time to do co commentator and he was more like a restless fan watching the game.

Did I hear them say on TSG last night that new York will play in the Taitleann Cup?

We got out of Jail barely yesterday.  I was at the game and full credit to NY, they played well and have some real good players.

Sligo were destroyed at midfield until Conan Marren came in for the last 10 minutes or so and caught some great balls and distributed the ball well  Pat Spillane also made a contribution when introduced.  We made the all too familiar mistakes of bad passes, soloing into trouble, over carrying etc..  It certainly was a wake up call for us and I'm sure Roscommon are shaking in their boots after watching that game.

At the end of the day it's a win and a game under our belts..

Roscommon themselves know all about scares in New York after what happened in 2016.

What's the position with Luke Towey, Pat Hughes for this upcoming semi final, all starters normally but weren't on the 26 yesterday.

I believe they are injured - Towey was supposed to start I think but was substituted before the game.  Not sure about Hughes, hopefully they are available for the Rossies..

Sligo v Ros game moved from 1st May to 5pm Saturday 30th April at 5pm " on Garda advice and due to Horse racing".
Arrive home from an overseas break Sunday morning.
Thanks Connacht Council, Gardai and Horsy shower!
2nd ever time for me to miss a Ros Championship game in Europe since I was brought to my first game in 1979
First time was November 2020.

A change made this close to a championship game? Another example that those in power has zero respect for supporters attending a game.

10 days before the fixture.....
Some lads had Sunday nights booked in Sligo area for a good night and Bank Holidsy to recover. Saturday night prices apparently off the planet.
The oul paying customer isn't exactly being cared for by CC.

Anybody hazard a prediction as to how this weekend will go? I'm worried our injury situation might be our undoing. That and the fact a good few of the fringe players didn't put their hands up when given a chance towards the end of the league campaign. I hope Horan had his championship team in his head towards the end of the league campaign.
