Sligeach v Maigh Eo. 5ú Meitheamh 2010

[muppet]

Green and red mist descending now.

Just leaving Castlebar.

C'mon Mayo!

[moysider]

Ready for the road. Looks like weather s taken a turn for the worst. Up Mayo.

[magpie seanie]

Headin in the road shorly now myself. Want to see a bit of U-17 game and get a good barrier to lean on - win, lose or draw I think I'll need it! Would echo a lot of what the Sligo lads are saying here. Might not be the open game everyone is hoping for despite the conditions. Could be defensive and intense.

So, another one gone. Barrett out with an illness. Gardiner back in, presumably Vaughan will drop to corner back.

[Halfquarter]

Sligo playing against the breeze,brave decision.

[Atticus_Finch]

there's a strong wind ...  sligo win the toss ... decide to play against the wind    ... somebody talk me through that

O'Hara appeared to be doing a good bit of mouthing during the start of the anthem, possibly wasn't happy with the call to play against the wind ...

[our_fella]

And people say the Ulster championshp is bad. This is awful stuff

[Milltown Row2]

good call with playing against the breeze, should be an entertaining second half, two points to turn over

[omagh_gael]

Quite a poor quality game, a lot of wides and not much intensity as of of yet!

[Atticus_Finch]

Disagree MR ... commentator has said the breeze has died down.  For the amount of possession Sligo have had,  they should be winning,  if they had the breeze with them in the first half i imagine that would be the case.  Breeze could have died down completely by the time the 2nd half starts ... if you have the option use it when it's there

[joemamas]

pretty brutal sfuff, Sligo look to want it more, but Mayo seem to have a little bit more class, especially up front, they play in the Sligo third of the field seems a little less laboured than Sligo's. Wind could be a factor.

Kicking by Mcgarrity and Trevor Mort is terrible.

[Cosmo Kramer]

Its tough going as we thought it would be. Sligo playing McGarrity a little bit cynically and there wasn't too much in that 'incident',  probably should have been a yellow card alright.

Fair play to Freeman, he has done well after what must have been a sad enough week for him. Conor Mort going well also. Rest of the forwards haven't really got into it though.

I'd expect the second half to be more of the same, for whatever team wins this is just a case of trying to get the job done.
