Does anyone know if SuperValu are selling tickets for the final?

Not for finals I'm afraid.

Is Champ15 a Donegal lad, not used to finals are they 

Haha no im a very proud mayo man who has county and connacht medals nit to mention an all Ireland club too so im well used to finals and winning them;D I'll get mine from the club but just trying to sort out my cousins from London who regularly fly over for mayo games

Bit early for an all Ireland final thread and to say who will win it outright there's a whole semi final to play! Granted Donegal played great stuff and looked a well oiled machine today but who's to say mayo or the dubs won't show us something similar or even better than what was on show today! There's been a lot of talk everywhere today sayin its Donegal to lose buts its the same story being said every year about the winners of 1st semi! A whole semi and 4 weeks til all Ireland day where injuries and a dip in form could dictate where sam lies for the year! I hope its mayo lord knows we've had our fair share of bad days but if not id love to see Donegal win I have lots a friends up there and 1 of my best friends here in ballina is Michael Murphy's 1st cousin.just hope its not at the expense of us if we make it there

Well done to the boys yesterday a very good win showing heart and determination when 5 points down in the 2nd half and 3 points in et something that in previous years would have seen us crumble! It is only the league but its nice to see us progress! The last thing we want is hype coz we all know what happened last time in league final against cork and the summer we had! What we got yesterday was another day out in croker in a national final and for a relativity young team its an experience which will stand them in good stead especially if they win the confidence they will get of knowing on there day they can beat top level teams! Talk of winning all irelands should be non existant as we've being too inconsistent over the years but its encouraging to see us going in the right direction.
On yesterdays game after starting well we were over ran at midfield Kerry and inparticular Maher cleaned up,its an area for concern for me and showed how much we missed aidan o shea! Gibbons did alright but is still learning at this level but its my opinion Barry Moran doesn't cut the mustard for me! Some may disagree with me but he offers nothingand doesn't stand out like he does a club level!
The tactic of putting him ff backfired as before that we put low accurate ball in we were a big threat especially Conroy who had his marker ran ragged and mort who done the scoring but when Barry went inside we kicked in aimless high balls which were turned over and which Kerry got a few scores from.
Our half forward line flitted in and out of the game which was a bit worrying but I'll put it down to an off day! Our backs were very good especially boyle who looks like he'd go through a brick wall for the cause and ger caff who kept gooch to 1 point from play and quiet in general play.
Like i stated earlier it was a very good win but a lot more hard work to do yet before we become contenders! Heres hoping they continue improving the wa they have done!

Stephen Kings Pet Cemetery its the only horror movie that has ever freaked me out and im a great fan of horrors. Seriously not a film to watch on your own but i highly recommend it

From todays Irish Mirror:

Manchester United are trying to sign the hottest property in Turkish football.

Sercan Yildirim has lit up the Turkish Super League this season and caught Sir Alex Ferguson's eye with four goals in five games for Bursaspor.

£5m-rated Yildirim, 18, said: "I've had many offers but United have contacted my family and the president of the club.

Anyone hear of this kid or if thers truth behind it?

One thing about Nani that really annoys me is that he can never deliver a good corner. he consistently fails to beat the first defender and when he does he usually over hits them!! This has happened on a regular basis since he signed not just on Tuesday nite.Surely if Fergie has designated him to take them then he is practicing them at training but it doesnt look this way to me!! Surely we have better set piece deliverers in the team.

Didnt tg4 used to show the Aussie Rules? Is that show finished


That show is on thursday nite at 10.30 i tink

Possibly tonight after the County Championship Draw

Stephenite Kenny Golden has been sufferin with a hamstring injury for the past couple of months. he returned training about a month ago and popped the other hamstring all that driving to & from belfast is starting to take its toll. As for the players gettin on with Liam your dead right with what your saying everyone gets on with him some people might'nt like somethings that he does or says but i tkink that would be the same in most clubs.

Its a tough one to call. I have won an all ireland with the club and it is the greatest feeling a person could have.The whole of mayo joined in in our celebrations which was fantastic and couldnt imagine what it would be like if we ever brought home sam the county will be shut down for months.

Didnt ave a challenge game just an A v B game amongst themselves

Anybody hear how the county board meeting went last nite

A question i would like answered really is that with all the re-structuring of the league why wont the county board do something about the fixtures durin the summer because that has been the real problem in the last few years.I havent seen the fixtures or dates for the league yet but i can probably guess that around half of them wont be played on the dates their ment to.

 Im a member on the ballina senior team and we are disgusted that we have to play against these teams.2 years ago our B team played Islandeady in relegation/promotion playoff and sent them 2 down 2 division 4.No disrespect to the teams in our group its not there fault but if we want to retain moclair this year then we would like to be playing the big teams in the league to prepare us for the championship.The only plus side for us with it is that we have to take the league seriously this year and try and win it
