Great to see Roscommon getting in the excuses early for when they inevitably calve on Sunday please and thanks. Oh we have injuries and suspensions please. Every county has that thank you but you don't hear the big two at that nonsense excuse making. Thanks so much.

No more than 2 or 3 changes I would expect the next day.

You also said nobody would start that didn't feature vs London and again repeated your line that Mayo wouldn't be relying on U20s.." No more than 2 or 3 changes I would expect is what I said. According to the published team it says 4 changes and I could be right on the money come Sunday.
"I doubt Andy Moran will be relying on teens to play. More than enough cover to fill in while those lads finish out their U20 campaign" That was my opinion and we'll see come throw in
Over and out uptight Dan

Makes sense.

Replying To dolfos: "25% of prisoners in Ireland are not from Ireland? Dear me, I used to dream of moving back to Ireland one day, but it's now just another globalist industrial estate that exits to squeeze the life out of the people trying to live a life in peace." The biggest concern is those Irish nationals running around the Countryside committing endless crimes, whether its theft, assault, traffic violations, fraud or even worst. Curiously the Government doesn't seem to be willing to tackle this crime.
How can somebody with over 179 previous convictions be allowed to roam the streets within weeks of their most recent conviction.
Anyone with over previous 100 convictions, should be automatically getting 20 years in prison, no early parole for their next serious conviction. By serious, I don't mean forgetting to pay TV License or parking fine, I'm talking theft, assault or things of that nature. And they should fully owe the state for the cost of their incarceration, which can be taken out of their personal property.

Replying To legendzxix: "The main gripe I have against provincial championships is that there is no qualification standard. If provinces were limited to the following based on league ranking: Ulster - top 8, Leinster - top 8, Munster - top 4 and Connacht - top 4, it would set something of a qualification standard. The 9 missing out could enter a second tier cup where the winner could be guaranteed a place in their provincial championship in the following year." Sorry I completely disagree. Every county should automatically have the right to compete in their provincial championship. You talk about qualification standards…..Kerry practically qualifies for the all Ireland business end every year because ye have no competition in Munster.

Today is the day Leitrim qualify for Connacht final. Ideal weather conditions for the big result. Having compared both line ups I think we edge it and have better players overall.

Replying To WonTon5: "In that starting 15 who do you replace for B McHugh? His deadballs skills are up with the best in the country but what does he offer the team in open play? Not enough to justify selection over Mac Donnacha. Darcy won't start inside, I can see at least 2 change before throw in." He starts ahead of Liam Ó Conghaile, Céin Darcy and Oisín Mac Donnacha in that forward line tomorrow. Cein should be the engine room and Paul Conroy on the bench to come in with 20 to go. If Maher or McDaid can't manage McNulty we have major issues. Drop over to Creggs to the league game on Sunday to see what damage McHugh will do on Annaghdown, I bet they'll have a double sweeper and man marker in place. Alternatively ask anyone from Dunmore or Michael's how much damage he did to them in recent weeks. McHugh brings a clinical precision to getting scores and can also mind himself, if you get me. He is a nightmare for a defender with his strength and ability, if you foul in the scoring zone, he nails them frees. Finally, he is also always fit and available.

Replying To Bowser93: "I see the Leitrim u20 team and senior teams are named for this weekends games. The best five u20's not playing with the u20's because of the senior game and none of the five are starting for the senior team either. We dont help ourselves do we. We complain about lack of consistency at underange level and this is the respect shown to the Philly McGuinness Cup final. I dont know who's worse, the Connacht Council for the fixture clash or the Leitrim Co Board for allowing this to happen." It's shouldn't be clashing, why wasn't that game played Wednesday night alongside the semi final

Replying To gaelsboy: "Very optimistic then again I reckoned Sligo would beat us easily so to hell with it, why shouldn't we try go out and win it, the pressure is on them not us.
A wet day would actually suit us better, the dry day and fast ball will test our fitness levels a bit too much and Galway will likely have a bit too much for us.
The Sligo gave us much to be proud of but until we get up to division 3 and stay there, we won't go toe to toe with division 1 or 2 teams for long. A decent performance could give us some belief in a proper run in the TC." Flynns on main street. Great pints

Replying To bláthach: "If we get by Galway (unlikely I know) who or who would we put on Kobe McDonald in the Connacht final please so millions? Thanks for considering this tactical conundrum." No need Blathers to be bothered about Kobe. It will be the second level competition aka the Tailteann Cup for ye boys after Saturday. I expect a full on Leitrim assault first half though, a kinda blitzkrieg so to say. Mc Nulty in the engine room. A real life panzer who can punch holes in the Galway defense. All said Galway by at least seven.
A speedy Roscommon with an unfortunate injury list meaning the Mayo lads are hot favourites. Mayo by four I'd say. Just unfortunately Creggs appeal isn't going to be overturned. A gigantic loss. Still three Connacht teams in the All Ireland series proper so that's good for the province. Nice colour around Hillstreet and the Ros side of Carrick this morning. Primrose and Blue are lovely colors. Love to all.

Replying To LimerickandProud: "How are we feeling about matches this weekend?
Kilkenny and Wexford - I think this game will be tight, Wexford are well capable of going to Nowlan Park and winning, but I am expecting something of a back lash from Kilkenny after everyone downing on them last week. I think they might sneak it but not by much.
Dublin and Kildare - Similar to Kilkenny, Dublin need a response and I think they will deliver at home
Galway and Offaly - Galway at home will have too much class for Offaly (who have some super young fellas coming through but look like they are a year too early physically)
Cork and Limerick - Cork looked ordinary enough in the first half against Tipperary but obviously targeted the second half and really upped the intensity and took over. I don't think they went up the gears in the League Final against Limerick and were shadow boxing a bit. The pace they possess in the front six with Walsh and Buckley now thrown into the mix is frightening and I think they will target Diarmaid Byrnes in particular with these runs (which they didn't do in the League Final). Limerick are entering the fray with what looks like a full deck to pick from. Will they be able to get up to the pace of the game straight away? I think this could easily go either way so my money is on a draw.
Waterford and Tipperary - Waterford to me looked like team who got their S&C all wrong. They are physically big men but not as mobile as Cork, Clare or Tipperary. They might get away with this down in the tight confines of Walsh Park but I think Tipperary will target goals and do just about enough to get a result here." KK V Wexford: I have absolutely no idea how this will go, so I'll play it safe and call a draw. Wexford always seem to raise their game for the stripey men, and this really is a golden opportunity for them. Can they take it?
Dublin to get back on the saddle and beat Kildare.
Galway will have way too much for Offaly
Expect huge improvement from Tipp and Waterford at home are dangerous, however, very reliant on Bennett for scores. Tipp to edge it.
Gillane out for Limerick is huge, although Casey is a fantastic replacement, he does not pose the same goal threat. SOB to step up??? This Limerick team have only won once in PUC, so this, coupled with Gillane's absence means it's Cork for me.
