 Congxrats mayo ye just about deserved it.  I was worried about our midfield and unforrunately ny fears were justified.
Time to get real umpires for these games instead of the clowns tbey have

Kevin has done a great job in my oponion.  He needs to have a sbort fuse on sunday and pull out anyone thats not performing as we have a lot of men on the bench that want to be on the other side of the white line

My reply to what?

All i am saying is that many of you are now publicly saying ye expect an easy win.

Im not a Wum and was a pretty seious footballer aome time ago  i have played in a connacht final if you really need to know so i think i know football and supporters fairly well.

Im not going to waste my time explaining what ye already know.

I will just say check out the gems from mayo mick for starters including

"its div 1 v div3 thats all the analysis needed"

Or

"hope sligo give us a good game.starting so late we need to get up to speed quickly"


Open signs of OVER confidence which i kind of like

Mayo boys
Whether ye admit it or not the air of arrogance  ( some open and some poorly concealed) is apparent.
All im saying is ye are confident of a victory in general and ye should be.  Im clinging to the hope that  your team is also over confident  and we ambush ye. If wd play well we could keep it close.

Im worried about Taylor in midfield, he needs a good kick up the hole going out on the field because sometimes he looks like he's not interested.  Walsh needs to pull the plug early on non performers.

Tony, get stuck in early please.

The confidence of the mayo posters is growing each day I see as we near the final.  I can understand why they are so confident and they should be.

I think a lot depends on how Sligo plays on the day, when we hit our stride we can match any team, but when we are bad we can be brutal.

Let's home the in form Sligo team shows up and catches an over confident mayo camp on the hop...

Interesting ...

He's obviously not a man that likes the sub bench, but then again I don't know too many that do.

My suspicion is that Horan and some of the players will be happy he's no longer around if he's seen as a cancer to morale.  I think this make Mayo a scarier proposition than before.

I'm still hoping for a big performance from our boys and hopefully we can keep it close at least.

Does any of the sligo boys know the story with O'Hara, is he a possibility in a pinch??

Kelly would be a huge loss as i dont think anyone has the pace to stay with him and will takw 2 to attempt to watch him.  The ankle has been injured on and off for over a year which is a tough on him.

Sean walsh needs to cop himself on at 35 euros for that. Only 32,000 less than last years final or to put it another way about 21% of last yeArs crowd.

Earth to Sean - theres a recession on and its cork v clare

Shocking

at least we should be able to experiment against the likes of sligo and maybe get a soft Quarter final in order to have our right best 15 and give the big boys a right good crack.


Thats the kind of talk that will motivate nobody but the opposition.
We should check the mayo boys for test tubes before the game.

Take note sligo we are obviously just considered a warm up for the AI quarter final.

Help im lost.
I know i opened a connAught final thread somewhere but i think i lost it somewhere between ballyhaunis and castlerea marts or it might have been on my way from castlebar to the hyde. The lAst time i saw it might have been in salthill come to think of it or was it at the bus shelter in roscommon town before i got drunk in the nightclub with the mayo boys.  I wonder if some of the mayo buckeens stole it when they were trying to steal the venue for the final.
Wait a second, is that my thread i see on the back of that pig running down the road?  No, my mistake that's the runaway pig that escaped death row at barcastle as a stowaway on the back of a builders truck who was building the great facities at mchale park.  Rumour has it the pig is now living under the concrete seats in Roscommon.
Well anyways if anyone finds it can you emali me at thismayoroscommonbullshitiskillingme@ye're all yahoos .com the last time this thread was seen alive was about 17 pages ago half way between kellys ankle and oharas knee.
A reward wll be offered for the safe return of this thread.  No questions asked.

Go raibh maith agat
Go raibh maith agat

Any news on injuries or who is playing well at club level?
Very quiet on the game front.

Congrats to Roscommon a good win for both teams, its amazing what a win can do to lift the spirits.

So where does all the money from the final go?
If the bome team gets 10% where does the rest go? And bow is it spent?

Im sure the connACHT council and some county boards are following this tbread and are not too happy about the focus on how money is distributed but if they bend the rules then we should ask the hard questions
