Connacht Final. Mayo v Sligo. July 19.

[squire_in_navy_slacks]

Excellent display from Mayo. Steady though I recall big Aidan getting all the plaudits a couple of years ago after the Donegal game. Bigger men ahead to bounce off

A nothing game. We know nothing about ourselves from that. In fact we are more an unknown quantity for teams to analyse going into the Quarters. Who can we meet in the Quarters?

None of the round four winners will beat that Mayo side in the quarter final. You can plan for All Ireland semi final already probably against Dublin.

Boylers diving block taking it square in the face at 20+ points up....some man

If ya think Mayo would walk by Donegal after what happened two years ago you're going to get some fine odds. This match will have little bearing on the next one.

It won't but you'd still fancy Mayo to win no?

Donegal leg weary as shown today and against Derry. Galway have finally sorted out their defence and they could beat Donegal in two weeks.

Listening to Horan on newstalk and he stated that this Mayo team DESERVE to win an All Ireland.

Mayo haven't deserved to win an AI since 1951.

Galway scored 1-2 from play yesterday, they not get as handy a ref as Lane plus Donegal defend better than Derry and dont give away many scoring frees, cant see Galway beating them to be honest

[galwayman]

Our 2 points from play yesterday were both scored by wing backs.
Not good enough from the forwards regardless of the conditions or the amount of bodies in front of goal

I'd favour Mayo but Donegal are still top 5 in Ireland at worst - they would not be a normal team for a provincial winner to be facing in an AIQF.

I think Mayo have as good a chance as anyone else right now. They'll be playing Donegal in the quarters as Galway aren't good enough yet to beat Donegal, as much as I would love to be wrong. And in that quarter final, are Donegal really going to intimidate anyone after their display today? They looked very tired today and they will only have 6 days rest I think even if they are better than Galway. Then they're out the following week against Mayo. I couldn't believe how poor Murphy was today for Donegal. As against that, Mayo have a few problems themselves, the fullback line and the fact that despite o Shea's performances at full forward, there is still a need for another scoring forward, that hasn't been found in my opinion. However they have a few weeks to work on this before they meet what should be a more tired team in the bank holiday weekend . After that who knows, it's probably the dubs who they play then? A lot of assumptions there on my part but Mayo are nothing if not resilient, that's for sure!!

Of course! Why so bitter?  Jez, we know that more than anyone! We no more than Dublin deserve to win an AI. It's a comment from a former Manager. When we win it, we'll have deserved it!

As Clint said in Unforgiven....'deserve's got nothin to do with it'.......

Commiserations to Sligonian,Seanie and rest of the lads today.
Not easy after days like today, We know what it's like to get clippings like that from Kerry....and even Dublin this year in McHale.
Fair play to vast majority of Sligo fans staying until the end and supporting their team.
