Just as I always suspected, the biggest hypocrits  in Ireland are found out. Great are Meath when they are dishing it out but unable to take a mild bit of slagging.Grow up you shower, a hell of a lot worse is said about your county and some of your players. And ye had the cheek to slag Mayo and Tyrone over whinging years ago, at least they produce their own players not the sons of those that settled in the Meath from the West. Strip out the sons and grandsons of the Galway, kerry, Mayo, Donegals etc and what have they left in Meath.

Who in the name of God is Enda Kenny or what county is he from, apart from the politico never heard of the other guy. Gottche is a useful footballer.

Well done Sligo yesterday. Sadly they will never get a better chance, a poor and tired kerry team were there for the taking. Alas Sligo lacked the class and confidence to finish them off. They took of the one man who was winning ball for them, mayo man Alan Costelloe. Anyway Kerry did what they had to...get to the next round. Poor sligo all they can do is dream. Hopefully Sligonian will get time to pursue his hobby...moaning about the bigger counties in Connacht i.e Mayo and Galway.

Biggest problem Sligonian has with Costello is that Alan is a Mayo man. Hopefully Coss will return to his own county next year(he is good enough) and Sligonian can look out for the next Micky Kearns.

Love the bit where ye want mayomen only if they are playing. I presume Alan Costelloe fits the bill. No danger ye will ever get a sligo man to manage either, one in the last two hundred years is it? Best of luck in the tommy murphy once more.

Talking about the Sigerson cup, how come an outfit like the guards are in it. They are not a third level college, if they are in so should the bus drivers acadamy, the fire brigade school and army etc. The competition should be confined to bona fida universities as originally envisaged not evry tom dick and harry that attends school for the over 18s.

The worst I ever saw was Liam Sammon backheeling a ball rolling over the Mayo goal line in the Connacht final 1969. Mayo won the replay.

Interested in Spectators view about the dropping of Mac Donald as a sign of a clean break with the past. How come Jim Nallen and Aiden Higgins along with Heaney were not jettisoned either. That does not wash, arguably Mac was better than any of the picked forwards and that includes the vastly over rated Dillon and Mortimor. O Mahoney is making an awful hard job of breaking with the  past if its only Parsons and Cunniffe who have stepped in. At that rate of going i.e one per year we should have replaced the last of the boys of 1996 -2006 by 2016. 

Ah old Sligonian from the home of the Father Ted cup and the rackard cup shows his complex of 100 years plus of being slaughtered by Mayo. As micky harte says at least Mayo make finals on a regular basis...whence Sligo..oh I forgot they made a semi final in the minors back in 1968..wow.

A pity that the Railway cup is being shafted. It has a great history and should be still be kept. Play the football final as a curtain raiser to the club final on St Patricks day. Do like wise with the hurling except move it to Easter Sunday. Easy to do and it would bring in the crowds.

Glad to see Sligonian advertising Sligos two big trophy wins this year. Ah yes Ben Bulben rocks with the FR Dougal cup and whats the other one? Kerry got caught up in the Galvin affair and it cost them dearly. Should have cut their losses and got on with it instead they had it hanging over them all summer.
