Connacht Club Championships Senior, Intermediate & Junior

[Croí na hÉireann]

Things must be bad when Sligo people start sledging us.

Reference the Tyrone V Tipp U-21 thread, this one (sligoman)was jilted at the altar by a Rossie. He has it real bad, a 12 steps recovery program is the only solution here. Ballinaman most pitches are shite this time of year that is true, Ballina pitch was shocking for both teams that day. No football should be played from November 1st to March 1st, might help burn out and all that too. Give the Ros and Donegal lads a chance to drink some pints of porter.

Certainly Tuam wasn't fit for a game of any importance. To be fair to the people at Tuam Stadium, the ground was very soft so there was no way you could put a tractor on it to cut the grass.

What made all the lines on the pitch then muppet? Looked like the ploughing championships on the TV.

Dunno. I didn't notice them at the ground. Maybe they were more noticeable from the higher view of the cameras?

Maybe.

Very noticeable on TV, cut very high with tractor wheel lines at regular intervals. Even looked like someone wrote something by maybe footing over grass around 45 at one side.

Ah right. I walked on it afterwards and the grass was really very high. It was very soft as well.

I should have seen the lines on TV, given that it was on a permanent loop in Mick Byrne's for hours afterwards.

The lines are very obvious on the box alright.

[muppet]

What are corofin like this year though ? Mountbellew - moylough seem to waste a lot of chances according to the stats for that game  (dontfoul stats) ,shots from play -success rate really stood out , 62 % Corofin , 25 % mountbellew . Hopefully castlebar can guard the net and I think it will be a lot closer than a lot think if they do . 11/4 , I'll be havin some of that for the extra interest.

I hope you lumped on Larry.

They were but I suppose the ground staff did the best they could under the circumstances. If they attempted to cut the grass, the pitch would have been unplayable. Even if they managed to lift 90% of the cut grass ,and I don't think they could, the remainder would cling too the ball and the players' boot as well as obscuring lines  and the likes. Short of changing venues at short notice, there was no viable alternative but to allow the game to go ahead and just hope for the best.

[sans pessimism]

All Sligo posters are great.
