Larry I am a 54- year old born and bred Londoner whose parents are from South Mayo but it still hurt.
We didn't get beaten out the gate by half-time so we are closing the gap.
Yesterday we were beaten by a slightly better team, even before the game I just didn't think we were good enough to win AI.
Pick yourself up and dust yourself down, we will be back next year.

Watched the game on tv in London and it didn't look good there either. Mayo piss poor all over the park, agree with comments about t mortimer but he wasn't the only one. i hope we get loser of Cork v Kerry in qualifiers and the put the dying dog out of its misery. As for JOM not sure the all those challenge matches did us any good at all, Mayo looked drained of energy as the match went on, we were second to every ball. Do other counties play so many challenge matches? Are they instead of or in addition to training? Either way its clearly not working.
Fair play to Sligo you were the better team, defence was very good especially in second half and the forwards took there points when they came.

Just back from the game. Absolutely clueless both players and management. Sligo bossed us all over the pitch apart from full forward where Freeman was having a field day until they stopped sending the ball into him. Subs introduced far too late in the game. Midfield and half forward line was a disgrace with Mort and Parsons particularly to the fore here. He may be captain but he proved yet again today that he shouldn't be playing intercounty football. Parsons looked like he was playing a training game.

Fair play to Sligo though. They minimised the impact of our half backs and won the individual battles all over the pitch.

Another poor performance from conor mortimer, that miss from a 45 in the first few minutes was shocking. He never performs at the highest level ie All Ireland finals, until we replace him we will carry on waiting. Can someone explain to me why he runs diagonally away from the posts when he is on the attack, it just makes the job harder. Good luck to Galway they are better equipped than us this year. Nallen and Heaney have been great servants but lets see more of the under 21's
