Replying To M Lyster: "Mayo won't be winning Sam again this year on today's evidence." What do you mean again? Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 2749 - 21/05/2017 16:15:54 1988827 Link
Incredible calls in favour of Mayo including the most blatantly fouled goal you'll ever see at a crucial stage. Impossible task for Sligo when up against the referee as well. Mayo will be serious contenders this year and will move up the gears when needed. salvador (Roscommon) - Posts: 439 - 21/05/2017 16:32:44 1988831 Link

I thought he pulled Mayo up for a lot of fouling and let Sligo away with similar fouls but then you and I must have our county glasses on again Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 21/05/2017 18:04:13 1988877 Link

lot of tripe on here today Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 21/05/2017 18:07:38 1988883 Link
Got the win...I predicted a 7 point win and we won by 9 in the end. Sligo didn't deserve to be beat by that much who played a game of containment but didn't have the edge to go for it. Mayo rusty and playing in third gear. Forward approach is a worry as we seen again today we find it hard to break down a blanket/mass defence. Game had a friendly like atmosphere and just a bad game in general. The result was never in doubt. Mayo to move up a few notches for Galway in the game that could go either way.

Today was more or less as I expected, though I had been hoping for a bit more offensively from the half-forward line. Lots to work on and will need to go up another gear in Salthill. The wind didn't help, but both teams laboured today with very little spark. Another performance where Mayo managed to hide any discernible game plan. Still, happy to win. Sligo got most joy from going direct, but then Mayo didn't cover the fullback line, as they will likely do in the next game. Paddy Durcan showed his class again.

Unimpressive performance on the whole but a win is a win. It's a little worrying that we still seem to lack a discernible game plan in attack, and we also benefited from a couple of soft calls from the officials. Galway in Salthill will be a much tougher proposition, especially now that they play a much more defensive game. Still, if our lads can up their performance for that game then questions will definitely be asked. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 21/05/2017 20:03:41 1988968 Link
Tommy Brehany was the last "Sligo" manager who won anything... Before that was Paddy Cifford & Barnes Murphy... All Sligo men... Sligo had to go out today not to get crushed like in the Hyde but after 10min today Sligo should of had a plan if there were on top.... In my opinion we've ended up with managers that just play to a plan that will keep them safely in a job .... We're paying these managers+staff huge €€€ and all there interested in is keeping their job... We had a chance today to have a cut at Mayo but most definitely didn't take it. larry4alaugh (Sligo) - Posts: 8 - 21/05/2017 20:41:58 1989005 Link
I forgot to say earlier how was Cillian O Conor's goal not a square ball? He was standing in there well before the ball came in that should of been an easy call for the umpires. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 21/05/2017 21:23:35 1989026 Link

The two Mayo goals... First one had about 10 steps. Would a Sligo player get away with that? No Second one the player was clearly inside the box before the ball was played. Free out? No. Goal awarded. The referee was giving frees for lads falling to the ground as if they had been shot when they were barely touched, and all day the Mayo players were holding the trailing arm of Sligo players but got away with it Every time Sligo got a free a Mayo would player walk in front of the player about to take the free (with their hands up as if to say - oh, I don't mean to be here) and yet nothing was done about it all game valley84 (Westmeath) - Posts: 1890 - 22/05/2017 08:01:23 1989117 Link
Saw this on Twitter. The call is marginal however. https://twitter.com/le_bu_te/status/866417039094808579?s=09 Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 22/05/2017 08:19:41 1989119 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "No , nowhere near it." My bad, was wondering why it wasn't called a square ball, was just asking was Loftus not in the square. I didn't pay any heed until I saw the replay then was wondering how can that not be a square ball. That Twitter photo isn't clear. Cillian looks possibly not to be in the square, but a millisecond from it. Can't tell at all from it if the ball has left Loftus's hand, Cillian can't be in the square before that happens for it not be ruled a square ball. That's my interpretation of the rules but I'm no Brolly ! The refs and umpires surely had a great view. link GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7346 - 22/05/2017 10:20:15 1989188 Link
