Connacht Football FBD league 2012

Ye should have learned from us .. twice in the last decade we hung on to managers past time in Carr and the Tanman.
No matter what the team or time of year or conditions 4 points is an awful effort.
Still who'll remember this night when the sun is shining next June or July?

Its all relative, there are more lows supporting Leeds but the highs are higher when you suffer more  .

Yes, our problems were because we 'hung on' to managers. Yes. Totally.

Interesting stat Sligo have won one competitive game since the 2010 Connaught final. How is Walsh still hanging in there with a record like that.

Certainly didnt expect that. Would be very disappointed if you were paying money to support Prenty !!
Just thought you'd still have been watching the full soccer programme on SKY rather than posting on this forum. 

I thought you'd be watching all the post match

I agree with your sentiments (btw Sligo beat Antrim away last yr), but on that Walsh is shockingly popular in Sligo without any justification imo,(his AI medals dont matter to me and shouldnt matter to any Sligoman). His record including challenge games is worse, 1 win in 23 or something to that effect. He still thinks the same set up and approach as last yrs and the yr before is going turn things around. Fair play to him .

Not sacking him thiis yr and not getting a man like canavan is a massive mistake imo.

Maybe Sligo simply does not have the talent at the moment?  4 points in any game is a very poor effort indeed, you would imagine that at least some players would want to make an impression regardless of the competition or opposition.  We can't all be Kerry or Dublin unfortunately.

I dont think its a valid excuse mannix for the poor experimentation, poor team selections, poor training, poor preparation, poor tactics, etc... I can understand someone not familar with the talent saying that though, but its too simplistic imo, and management are making too many mistakes for me to start blaming lack of talent and the players tbh.

Looking at the NUIG FF line (N Douglas, J Doherty, C Freeman) that could be the Mayo forward line this summer. Sligo are inconsistent they have the players & Walsh should be doing better.

Doubt that will be our FF line. Cillian O'Connor is a dead cert for the team and I'd imagine THEE MORT will be back where he belongs. I think Cathal Freeman is more suited to centre forward, he showed great vision in the FBD last year, I think he is the perfect replacement for Alan Dillon. We actually have a lot of forwards to choose from this year, there's a lot of young lads who have stepped up this year to the senior panel.

[Sam2011]

Mayo team to face Letrim:

1)David Clarke- Ballina Stephenites
2)Keith Rogers- Ballaghadrreen
3)Eoghan Reilly- Castlebar Mitchels
4)Lee Keegan- Westport
5)Peadar Gardiner- Crossmolina
6)Donal Vaughan- Ballinrobe
7)Colm Boyle- Davitts
8)Barry Moran- Castlebar Mitchels
9)Seamus O'Shea- Breaffy
10)Kevin McLoughlin- Knockmore
11)Pat Harte- Ballina Stephenites
12)Danny Kirby- Castlebar Mitchels
13)Enda Varley- Garrymore
14)Darren Coen- Hollymount/Carramore
15)Micheal Conroy- Davitts

Peadar Gardiner has finally finished college? not many of that Mayo line up will start come championship time, Leitrim almost went scoreless v Mayo in the FBD last year.

[Sam2011]

Peadar finished college years ago, he just went back for a year last year with Alan Dillon!
I'm excited to see how the forwards perform. They all performed well last year either on the senior team or with their club!
Tbh I'm expecting us to rip them to sheds!
