Thanks Seanie, Oh and you were right about K O Neill. I hold my hands up, Played very well on Saturday.

Cavan4ever I hope you are right. Next up Wexford. As I read somewhere once "Only use the past to learn from your mistakes, It is only the present moment that ever counts"

To be honest I dont really focus on referees much. Dont check programme to see who reffing. I do agree that if you go on and on people turn against you which happened from the start on this thread and I am well aware of where we are inadequate too.
I know this is controversial and would spark fierce opposition. I was prepared for that. I was also expecting Cavan men to oppose because it tarnishes there victory. Westmeath fans did same last summer.
E OHara I suppose is a bit like me although I wish I was as good at football. We do whinge only when justified though. If I was on the pitch I would of ate the ref. He and I are human like the rest of yee so cut some slack. Maybe we care a little too much.  Take football too seriously I mean.

I thought that was a very poor show from us last night and I think only for a generous ref we would have lost that game. Our full forward line were completely marked out of the game with sligos back line sticking to them like glue. I can't remember Pierson or Jason once getting away from their men. Saying that the ball into them in the 1st half was brutal and too slow getting in. Sligo were unlucky to be 5 down at half time. Think they hit the post 2 or 3 times. We did well in the backs in general but they had no really big FF to test Forde. Anderson was a complete disaster, his kicks had way to much height so into the wind they just sit up there waiting for Sligo men to slap them down onto the onrunning sligo forwards. He was also very indecisive on a couple of occasions and could have leaked a goal in that game. I thought Mulvey did very well when he came on. Worst player on the pitch for me was Mackey. He is completely brainless. Always taking the wrong decision, running into five defenders and over turning possesion. Stupid shot from close in for a point when he should have fisted it over. Then with a few minutes left him and johnson totally f**k up a two on one chance for a possible goal or match sealing point. He was even stupid to go running in on his own for that last point after Gallagher had done well to settle us down for a bit of keep ball at the corner flag. How he stayed on the field is a mystery to me.

In general we were a bit clueless when Sligo filtered men back. We have no plan B - a big target man at FF as I see it. Wexford seem to be back on track and they have to play us and Meath. There is a way to go yet before this promotion is earned.

From a CAVAN MAN MYLES THE SLASHER. Fair play, I admire your honesty.

Well Cavan maniac I hope we do get treated better in future. All I ask is for fair deal. Nothing more. I have made my argument clearly as I can. Nothing further to add. I would say Sligo football does mean alot to me so I was hurt by manner in the defeat but stand by everything I said.

I take the banter with a pinch of salt and actually laughed at some. Redhand and cavanmen some of yee are quite whitty. Funniest thing is though we all have alot in common I would say fiercely patriotic towards where we are from. Which isnt a bad thing.

Bring on Wexford, Antrim and Wicklow. May luck shine down on us.

Sligeach abu

I was wondering why there wasnt that many from cavan at the game and theres not much else to do around there. But 15euro is a bit steep.

Greene 6.5 not much to do besides kickout were decent
Harrison 7.5 excellent
Mc guire 7.5
Donovan 7.5
Egan 5.0 distribution terrible
McGovern 5.5 did ok
J Davey 8.0 I thought was our man of the match
O Hara 7.0 If he got some protection he would of flourished but 5 men around like swarm every time he got the ball and free to cavan
Horan 5.5 was disappointed with him looked slow and restricted in his running
Gallagher 6 never really gets to involved plays along the fringes
Brehony 7 did good but made 2 fouls and got 2 yellows for feck all
Mc Namara 4.5 Thought he was terrible
Kelly 6.5 same as ohara no protection
S Davey 3 enough said, looks disinterested
O Neill 7 swept up well was suprised he was taken off


subs

Quinn 5.5 just looks awkward to me with no end product
Sweeney 5.5 this lad could be good if wed play him ff and lob high balls in.
McPartland 5.5 looked fitter than usaul
Taylor took his frees well

Good one lads. Unfortunetly my reaction to this isnt to cry. I feel when some reacts to try wind someone up they lose the argument. Its kinda like being back in school. Hoganstandish I would say. But I got things off my chest and spoke honestly and believe in every word Ive said.

This wont change my opinion on Cavan or Tyrone either or yer supporters. I like both teams and enjoyed mulligans goal against the dubs.

I still believe in this Sligo team. Showed alot heart and determination and good football. Need Mc garty, martyn and doohan back. Sligeach abu..

Lads yee werent at the game so whats the point arguing. Yee cant claim anything because yee werent there.

Jees Im sure hes a lovely fella but thats not what Im QUESTIONING.

Im questiioning his integrity as a referee and his problem with Sligo football and Eamonn o Hara!!! He cheated us.

Maybe yee could ask him how he thought he performed and what he thinks of Sligo and Eamonn oHara and then get back to me.
If he says he hates Sligo and Eamonn O Hara and blatantly gave Cavan everything would yee be man enough to post that on this message board. Jees Sligonian you were right. Well would yee?? would yee f**k

Im sure if you asked him though he wouldnt say it but there would be a awkwardness there. Defo has it in for us..

Ye werent at the game.. simple as that.. Yere giving yer opinions which I respect but its futile when ye wernt there..Yee didnt witness it..i understand that yee dont believe because it had to SEEN to be believed..

Point is have nothing against a bad ref when he is bad for both teams. This guy was just bad for us... You say we should of won anyway... We were better but he was so against any time we got close hed start giving more and more against us. He sent off M Brehony ffs.with 20mins left. 14 V 16.
It was 12 v 16 against westmeath.

What chance is that??

Im not saying he is incapable Im saying he is A CHEAT. Can it be proved well  I hear you say video of the game and every Sligo persons opininion on the game should suffice. There are reports too that radio coverage echo my sentiments that we were robbed.

Im sure if this happened any county the reaction would be the same. Guarnteed.

I can accept getting beat fairly as you would see from the SLIGO V MEATH POST so dont give me the bullshit that all we do is cry blah blah.

Sligo v westmeath back up my claims in the fact that red cards were recinded. O hara clearly has offended this guy and Sligo too to be treated this way.

Relax I have nothing against tyrone or your club, its this referee. All i am saying when he referee he represents his county and club and HE let them down because every true GAA would of seen the injustice on Sat nite. Red hand he let you down too becuase everything thats is honest and true and good in the GAA went out the window on Sat.  

To be honest angle I was at for that wasnt favourable so couldnt tell whether it was over. (P brady wide)

I can accept honest errors and people making honest mistakes. Saying Cavan shaded the 50/50 decisions isnt honest reflection. Yee got frees that were clearly Sligos 100/0 thats the problem.

Att red hand fan ... Not backing down, any referee who favours another team over another for whatever reason clearly has no intergrity. Fair play is all I ask and honesty this man exuding neither. I am fair true genuine Sligo fan and for him to treat our players management staff with a bias performance like that well if you wanna be associated with a cheat then its your business. Do you actually want people in the GAA like that? Just imagine it this happened your team and no doubt you'll say it did. Ive been to many matches but never seen anything as blatant disregard for protecting our players and he put there safety at risk. We hadnt a pray. Disgusted. And I speak for all the Sligo fans. This isnt just one lonely voice. Everyone I spoke couldnt believe it. Anyone with a trail of honesty could see it.

People say it evens out well what happened against Westmeath last year...cheated there too. Doohan and ohara both recinded after video evidence. And anyways redhand fan were you at the game?

Bottom brick... You were obviously deep down embarrased too. Me exposing the truth of what happens offends you because you know that ref won the match for yee. Im not whiniging just stating facts of what happened.

O hara was targetted as he is every game. What do you expect hiim to take take take... Very proud of Sligo players holding the heads. Our physio was very busy too.

Reason I didnt merge this with Sligo cavan thread is because I want to expose this ref for the man he is. So everyone can read the truth.
Also letter of complaint issue .point is there we are playing WEXFORD next now if a ref is going to do the eaxct same as hughes we may aswell not turn up. So I just want to know in advance before travelling for 6 hrs. Just want a guarntee of honest fair play.
