Connacht senior football final Galway v Roscommon July 10th

[Maroon Manc]

Galways record in Salthill recently is appalling, they haven't won any of their 4 games there this year.

No tv coverage for replay bumper crowd for castlebar.

Looks like I'll be listening to the game on the radio, I can't recall the last provincial final that wasn't televised?

[Kurtz]

There may be a referendum on whether it should ever be shown again

Who's call was the venue?? Roscommon's? Surely it could be played in salthill on Saturday

The wind tunnel is worth 2/3 points to Galway.

I could believe that only Galway's home record the past 3 years or so has been pretty poor. Nearly all their best performances in league and championship have come away from home.

Salthill is a brutal ground for supporters and for football.  McHale the right choice by a mile.

Is John Prenty taking the f**king piss. Done to try and get as much money as possible with no thought for the teams.

..that said it suits me better than Saturday. CF has become as close to an old school provincial final. Win it or your season is as good as over.

Ah, come on Syf. 
Even by your own non-conventional standards, that a bit ott.
Where else could a CF be played?

Back in Salthill again? I don't think anyone, even you, would  want a repeat of last Sunday.'s experience.
Markey Park? Too small.
Pairc Sean? Same as Sligo, as well as been very isolated.
Roscommon? The Hyde?  Not unless the players agree to play in wellies.

What other options are there?

Well if roscommon chose the venue knowing there might be a clash then the blame lies solely with them imo.

Yep although if Mayo had been drawn away then I assume the Connacht final would be on Saturday evening.

Plus half the population of Roscommon could take a train to within half a mile of McHale Park if they wanted to

Galway offered next two c/ship games at home to roscommon,if replay was in salthill,mcstay declined the offer as he wanted no advantage to galway,which has to be expected.

[SLIGONIAN]

Is this a piss take, 3.30 on Sunday whilst we have to watch the one sided rubbish that is the leinster football final

Gaago surely going to show it online?

Strokestown? Not enough parking though, apparently

Hopefully the 6 day turnaround will be the Rossies' problem.

From yesterday, I really hope that Cummins and Heaney being called ashore was an injury or fatigue related issue, Shane Walsh and Brannigan should have been hooked long before either. Still waiting on a really good performance from Walsh in the championship for Galway. Always seems to take the wrong option although having seen it back last night, I'll give him a pass for the blocked shot at the finish, Flynn should never have passed when he did. Would Adrian Varley be a better option to start?
Declan Kyne and Gary O'Donnell were excellent at the back again.
