Predictions by the Syfmeister are usually the kiss of death. Remember his laughing at the suggestion Sligo U21s might beat us?
At least we'll get a Connacht Final in the Hyde anyway.....

His writing off of Galway under Kevin Walsh prior to the Connacht final replay was quite amusing also. For what it's worth, Galway will probably retain the Nestor Cup.

"Lose on Sunday and you've won two league games, beaten a shot Mayo side that took ye for granted and are likely be be done for the year after the next weekend. Walsh's job will come under serious scrutiny then too. So a lot is riding on the CF for Walsh and the idea this form of football is actually gonig to get a worthwhile result. It might be best for both Roscommon and Galway in the longer run if positive football is what carries the day. Under Walsh I don't think Galway have any intention of offering positive football."

Orange Free State I imagine

Brexit is already hurting a lot. Just before the vote 68% of punters said they wouldn't pay one penny in exchange for a drop in immigration.

First they came for the fish fingers.
Then they came for the creme eggs.
Now they are coming for Ryanair.

Hate to tell you this Dinny, but there's a gypsy curse on Kildare this year.
You're going to lose to Longford.
Best €2 I ever spent.

Eg the late 70s Rossies, mid 80s Monaghan, various Mayo iterations etc

Brexit wooohoooooooooo!!!

"there is a distinct possibility that there will be no flights for a period of time between Europe and the UK". That's what they voted for, more or less, so happy days.

There will be a flotilla of small boats at Dunkirk like in the good old days for anyone wanting to go to the UK

Where would a ros v galway final be held?

in the rain

Stew,
What was the alternative option to Obama Care?

total reform of healthcare
http://www.nybooks.com/articles/2009/07/02/the-health-reform-we-need-are-not-getting/

Neither my proposal, nor Emanuel's, nor Conyers's, nor any other plan that starts with the elimination of private employment-based insurance and depends largely on public funding stands much of a chance of being enacted now. It would be too great a change, and it would threaten insurance companies and other powerful vested interests that influence Congress. The same is true of any major reorganization of medical care that phases out fee-for-service practice in favor of nonprofit multispecialty groups of salaried physicians and dampens the commercial fire that has converted US medical care into an ever-expanding profit-seeking industry.
As bad as they already are, things will have to get still worse before major reform becomes politically possible. The legislation likely to emerge from this Congress will not control—and will probably even exacerbate—the inflation of costs. But sometime in the not-too- distant future, health expenditures will become intolerable and fundamental change will at last be accepted as the only way to avoid disaster. When that time arrives, the opportunity to enact real health reform will finally be at hand.

"Let's make sure

This was very wishful. The GOP messed up Trumpcare which the Freedom Caucus, a Republican group, now call Swampcare. http://theresurgent.com/swampcare-the-great-betrayal/

There won't be any 1000 year GOP reich. They probably won't even make it past the mid terms.Bannon got lucky in the Presidential election just like Arron Banks fluked the Brexit vote. Governing is much harder.

Mayo might be like last year when they preferred to peak later in the championship.

These lists are always confined to all Ireland winners which means in one year only 6 players qualify. And that, over a period of a few decades, leaves out too many people.

One example would be Benny Coulter. Never won Sam. Neither did Ciaran Mc Donald, Val Daly , Junior McManus or Nudie .

"Kildare and Galway will go at it again this weekend, but Meath have every reason to feel aggrieved. They were hammered by ten points by Kildare in Navan when the two teams met, and then lost to Down, so they can have few complaints, but they were also the only team to beat Galway in the league.
They played seven opponents going at full-tilt, while Galway faced six, but they finish third in Division Two for the third time in four years"

Bannon has been dropped from the national security council

Yeah, Six years. Seems longer.

Galway   0-12 - 2-14   Mayo in Tuam 27th Feb!

Can you imagine the mood and reaction of Mayo supporters if they spent six years away from division 1?

fast forward 8 or 9 years.
Or back to the 70s
