Connacht senior football championship 2017

[mouview]

John Prenty has said at HT that if this game ends in a draw there will be no extra time. A replay in Carrick on Shannon next weekend instead. Its like the Connacht GAA are making these things up as they go along?

Sounds like par for the course for Prenty. Living in a world of his own he is

Absolutely. The unquestioned dictator of Connacht. It's incredible.

[Rossfan]

I take it the rule about replays in Finals only doesn't come in till 2018?
It was always a case of extra time in the NY and London games.

He gets an awful hard time of it here, done a lot more for GAA than most here. If not for him there's no Connacht centre of excellence in Bekan.

[Rossfan]

No, but the 5 Counties would have got their slice of the Croke Park Soccer and rubby rent and would have provided their own.

[Syferus]

You could say he brought home the Bekan.

Did Galway,Leitrim,Sligo or Roscommon ever wanted a Connacht centre of excellence and would that centre now be considered value for money?

[Rossfan]

Now that Galway have won the Connacht Championship the Division 2 Final is on next Sunday in the Hyde.
I presume no one is giving Laythrum a hope in Hell and expect us to win pulling up.
I wonder would our bean counter be happier to see Laythrum win so we could get some badly needed €€€€€s from a Connacht Final in the Hyde?
We should win by 8 or 9 but why am I feeling wary?

Based on what we have at our disposal, think that is as good as we could put out and a good balance to the team. Think we'll win comfortably enough and hope we come through it without any injuries - because between retirements, injuries, absentees, we don't have a lot of depth.

[Rossfan]

Absentees aged 30 or under
Carty, Collins, Keenan, Higgins, Shine X2, Daly x3, Cregg........

Most of the county are long past these wistful nonsense posts about who isn't there, but it's not surprising you're not.

Lord help us if we win a few games because you might end up suicidal.

[Captain Obvious]

Out of interest how many of that Roscommon starting 15 have at least 3 years of senior championship experience under their belts?

[Rossfan]

No more than 6 if even that I'd say.

Stop interfering in adult discussions .
I'm adding to weareros's point about lack of strength in depth exacerbated by  so many absentees.
5 or 6 of those are down to your cool clean superhero.
I'll be supporting my team as usual but would feel we'd have a better chance of winning a few games if we had a stronger panel.
We've only one competitive win against a County team and 8 defeats so apart from batin our smelly neighbours on Sunday I haven't much hope beyond that.
