Mayo V Sligo - Connaught senior final - July 15th

[Lar Naparka]

Good stuff - the Hyde far handier than Salthill.

I'm not spending a dime in Roscommon though

Me neither but as a matter of principle I'll go spend a penny and that's about the height of it.

Exactly, whatever you need to get, buy it in Mayo......pick up a few sambos in Ballaghadreen

Shocking amount of shite talk about the venue. Get over it...

The two O'shea's in the next day. Aidan at 11 and Seamus at 9.

Id have dillon freeman and o'connor in full forward line. Dillon and Andy should be interchangeable. Dillon can get 4/5 points from play as a finisher -looping around from corner forward position. Andy workrate is needed around middle in first half of any game and then there is the option of moving into full forward line.
Barry Aidan and Seamus would be formidable around midfield - should give plenty of cover to allow Vaughan, Boyle/Feeney and keegan attack.
(keegan has come on massively - have no fear of him being our 6 for years if Vaughan goes to midfield/wing.)

+1. Think I ll leave the kids at home as well in case they want to buy ice cream or a coke.

Pleased it has worked out this way even though it is a good day out ruined. Otherwise the martyrdom complex from our neighbours would have been unbearable.
Hopefully we can beat them in the Hyde and welcome them to the San Sero in a first round or semi next year.
Now, what to talk about for the next 2 weeks until the teams are named.

Need to brush up on the oul' geography buckeen. and the spelling  Ballaghadereen ( Bealach A' Doirín )

Now that it's officially confirmed Andy Moran has the opportunity to become the first Roscommon man captain since Fergal O'Donnell to lift the J.J. Nestor Cup in Hyde park. Of course i would prefer if he did it with his own county so Sligo you know what to do

With all the Green & Red flags that will be flying there on Sunday two weeks sure it'll feel like the town was never usurped!!

Apologies for the spelling though

Hopefully it will be Sligo flags flying that day.
The gloryhunting inbreds who insist on living in Ballagh only put up their rhubarb flags if Mayowestros win 
Meanwhile the devotees of the true faith in Ballagh will hold their noses all day till the last MO car has gone beyond their lovely Roscommon town.

I might stop for a while in the town so!!

So much for Roscommon being a neutral venue

And it should be a home tie for us. That 97 agreement needs to be reviewed and Sligo CB told to get their act together with regards to their capacity in Mark Park and forget about neutral away finals.
With clubs and schools in the county scrimping to keep going the fact that no revenue is going to come out of this is going to leave a sour note. I expect a backlash at grassroots level when clubs are asked to sell board tickets again. Meanwhile Hyde will get at least 3 big championship games this year - 1 of which should be ours. Go figure.

If it has to stay in Connaught it's probably too late to suggest London?

They could have played it in Wembley and it would have been a great advertisment for the game. The English lads and Irish lads who support English teams have a lull now between the soccer stuff; guranteed full house.

Mate!

The most sensible suggestion on this whole thread mate. Hard luck Highorlow - a prophet is never recognized in his own village.

Glad it's the Hyde if it can't be Wembley. Puts all the blather to bed.

[Syferus]

If Sligo win we get a sweet and historic victory and if Mayo win the proud Gael from Ballaghaddreen, Roscommon will get to lift the cup at home. If our minors are there and get to beat Mayo out of the blocks then that'll be the massive cherry on the cake.

Remember that 10% of your ticket price goes straight to our  coffers, lads!

Sure 'tis another banner day for Roscommon engineering ;(

It might but it is not satisfactory either. This might appear to be about football and fairness but it isn t. It is all about money. See Syferus's post above. The concern of the other Rossies on here when they thought they might lose the gig.

How many Mayo posters on here are 'forced' to buy these 100 euro tickets for board each year, or worse still, forced to sell them and get hunted like they will deffo after this mess. And raffle tickets at 10 euro a go to win a weanling bull. Never won that weanling yet. Look at that Syferus post again and compare it to his bleating earlier and realise we have all been sold a pup. Rossies are already celebrating a victory of sorts. Good luck to them.
 

[Syferus]

Aww lads, there there! This was the logical choice from day one but we had to go through an epic full of twists, turns, back-stabbing and intrigue to get to that choice. I know it's tough losing (ok we usually win so I'm not really sure what losing feels like anymore) but if ye lose you can always blame the Hyde officials for letting the grass grow a bit extra etc, etc.
