On the Sunday Game, there was a poor attendance at Sligo v Galway. The time wasn't ideal, but it shows that neither county is interested.

Galway don't have the best of support, might bring out more for the final but will be well outnumbered in support for the home final in two weeks. Sligo support highlights the lack hope they had for that match.  Maybe with more performances like that one will bring out more support. Strong at underage with lot of good players to bring through yet.

Utd will get humped in the final so just another stay of execution

Yep. I was hoping  Coventry would win because  that team  haven't a hope of beating City.

Not just no hope but could be facing record FA Cup final defeat. Didn't City beat Watford 6-0 recently in a FA Cup final?

Mayo defence excellent. Roscommon not offering any goal threat.

Roscommon had at least three or four goal chances today and wasted them all, needed at least one to have brought that game to the wire.

RTE stats

Mayo leading 1-6 to 0-8 but IMO Roscommon was the better team in that half.

Looking very good for Clare, have brought their league form into the championship.

It definitely was relief, We were playing second fiddle the whole game but we stuck at it and we eventually got the break at the end. Disappointing for Sligo, probably would be kicking themselves for not seeing the game out they were the better team by far all day, they were in control of the game for a lot of the time so yeah we are very relived to be out of here and into a Connacht final in two weeks.

Are Donegal genuine all Ireland contenders?

Jimmy talking Donegal down after that match saying Ulster is their focus and even reaching a final will be progress. He reckons Derry will have say in the All Ireland series, harder route for them now as 3rd seed in the group.

Derry could end up in a group with Dublin and Donegal!

Yes that defeat today could turn out more messy for Derry than imagined.

60 minutes to played Derry 0-13 Donegal 3-8

That was outside!!

Goal scoring opportunity doesn't have to be inside.  3-8 to 0-10

Has to be a black card offence for that.

That's the only mistake the ref made.
