Cill Dara v Sligeach, Droichead Nua 10/4/11

[SLIGONIAN]

Just back, gutted, we'll be back someday, up Sligo.

I expect u'll be promoted again next year & playing in div 2 will bring ye on this year & at least you can plan for the trip to Roscommon now 

In fairness to us i was at every game and people will be thinking Sligo just not good enough for div2 but imo we should of beat Donegal, and against Tyrone but for a freakish bad goal we would of been a 1pt up with 10 mins left in that one but they had the cushin, then we met Derry on atrocious day weather wise aiding there physical advantage and Laois game we had the ball in there half for first 10 mins and kicked 6/7 wide before a pt was scored, then today opposite happened but EOH straight through on goal 5 mins left 1pt down and only kicks a point criminal miss as he was going for goal. And all that without our best forward, without any competition in midfield with injury to mullen, and without our best half back Johnny Davey.

So with injuries to key players we fell short but no digrace, we competed well, and if we had even Kelly we would good enough for Div 2. I have alot of worries for Championship about positions, INJURIES, tactics and poor management and unfortuently i do expect us to get past Leitrim only just but to get found out against Roscommon again.

Yup i agree you more than held your own in Div 2, you were just on the wrong end of alot close games & in the end unlucky to be relegated (you certainly did better in div 2 than us)

We have plenty of worries for the championship too & any fans that have seen us play in Div 4 won't be expecting to beat Sligo in Markievicz Park...unless a major improvement happens?

The highlights of the wickow game were impressive for div4 ross4life, yer better than last yr and im not sure we are tbh... i know we only lost final by a 1pt but yere 5-10 pts better than us that day, we wont get those freakish points again to keep us in it.

Well as i said over on SS that type of defending v Wicklow won't be good enough come the Championship. Walsh will have ye primed for revenge & you won't have come through three grueling games v Mayo.Galway this time.

Anyways where turning this thread into a "who can play down each others team the most" so we'll both just agree Sligo will be huge favourites to progress to the connacht final. (well that's what the bookies reckon)

Sligo have got to be the unluckiest team to go down. To loose 4 games by a point. Meath would have been far more deserving to get the drop but that's football.

[Jinxy]

We beat Sligo.
Ipso facto.

Enjoyed the match today. Good to see Kildare played a lot better than last week anyway. Midfield was better and hopefully Flynn'll stay there now. Dowling did well as did Foley and Morgan Flats. Can't wait for the championship! Up the Lilies!
