Connacht SFC 2020

[Rossfan]

Anyone else finds it a bit annoying that Northern Ireland v Slovakia has 1,060 supporters in attendance in Windsor Park tonight while the Connacht final in Pearse Stadium on Sunday will have no supporters in attendance.

No.
I wouldn't be going to either game
Probably better with no one going than the 2 Co Boards having to decide who gets the 500 tickets .

200 or 300 should be allowed to attend. As it stands only 26 from each panel are allowed to attend this provincial final on Sunday. With a crowd of 200 to 300 the extended panelists that have been training for months could attend and the rest of the tickets could be restricted to the family members of every player on the two 30+ panels.

We seen what happened in the club championships when they let crowds in, were some county boards were incapable or simply didn't bother implementing social distancing. Better to stick to the zero tolerance no fans approach

[rosnarun]

No, I'm just thankful (although I mightn't be by 2.45pm on Sunday!) that the matches are on and being played, if the price for that is no fans in the gate then so be it.
The GAA was slaughtered after county final season and they aren't in any position to get people in the gate given everything else that is shut and restricted in the country.

i'd be sorry for the 1060  who would have to watch that shite.
the criws#d isse has been accepted and weve move on , no point in whinging now

In our end of the country it was what went on in the pubs afterwards that did the harm.

[Farrandeelin]

Galway usually have their team named midweek. Why the sudden change for the Connacht final? Selection issues or fans issues with selections? Mayo will probably name their team tonight.

[An Fhairche Abu]

Didn't name the team early for the final league match against Dublin either, team was named the day before on the Saturday.
Maybe the hiding Mayo gave Galway changed the policy on that because it had been out the Tuesday every week prior to that.

He's been told that on a number of occasions but continues to ignore it.

Curious with Mayo why Darren Coen is no longer a starter. After Cillian he is the best point scoring forward. Despite the relative ease beating us, I still thought some of the shooting was poor enough. I suppose he and COC play same position so one or the other.

Yeah with AOS playing 14 there's one less spot available inside now. O Connor is a guaranteed starter while Conroy offers something different in there.
Not a bad sub to have I guess

Lack of pace and inconsistency would be going against him. Conrory is lightening fast and a bit of an unknown quantity for opposition.

Lack of workrate tracking back is perhaps going against D Coen? What impressed me most about T Conroy in the last few games was how hard he worked off the ball and how he made a number of turnovers including a few in his own back line.
