This thread should be printed and hung on the mayo team dressing room wall. I'd love to see this arrogance silenced on Sunday week. C'mon Mayo

O'Gara red overturned - 4 Like(s)
While I am glad to see this overturned the rule in the official rule book states a strike with hand or fist is a red card offence. What was this?
"Striking or attempting to strike with arm,
elbow, hand or knee." cat 3 offence. 1 match ban

Galway Vs Clare - 3 Like(s)
Replying To clare_sparrow: "I would take a lot of positives from Saturday. Clare threw the kitchen sink at Galway and we survived. We did make a few mistakes such as the line ball at the end. And some nasty wides but again we showed we have the individuals to win these games. Canning, Coen, Daithi Burke, Whelan, Mannions, some great winners there. Management probably could have played a bigger role but maybe the next day they will. Im really unsure about David Burke in the middle, Hes good for a score or too so maybe further in, but he doesnt win any ball in the middle, which is costing Galway. I like the guy a lot and believe he is a great captain but I am not convinced of his hurling ability at all. Also why was Glynn not left in on the edge of the square for the whole game. He was winning some amount of ball in there with Conor Cooney. They are some duo in there..." This comment should be saved and kept for comic value in 10 years time or so. David Burke is one of the finest hurlers to ever play for Galway!

Minor And U20 2021 - 3 Like(s)
Fair dues to Roscommon winning the Connacht under 20 last night. Oh how we could do with some of that success, its exactly what we are missing and should be aiming for but I'm blue in the face saying this. There is no reason Roscommon should be so much more successful at underage than us, you can use all the excuses (population, soccer, rugby etc...) but none of these apply in this case. It is down to one thing and one thing only - underage coaching and development. WE NEED AN OVERHAUL

Replying To Anto: "From what ive seen on the online transfer list Nicolson, Rooney, Phillips, Coen, Mahon, OHehir have all transferred out of Marys in recent weeks. Not many left from county final defeat of less than 2 years dgo" To be fair all transfers are out of the country so that would just indicate lads are just emigrating. It wouldn't spell anything untoward going on at St Mary's, Unfortunate for Sligo club football not to have a strong Marys.

Replying To bananaskin: "Also Vaughan is 29 years old nearing the end of his playing career. I don't see this being a case of a player swapping clubs to win some silverware." Are you blind?
This is a toxic move, Donie has made some mistakes over the years but this is just two fingers to your grassroots who worked so hard over the years to make you into what you are today.

Replying To bananaskin: "I was being tongue in cheek with the contract incase you didn't realise! You're over reacting calling it a disgrace. Enough of the pride of community bulls**t. It happens all the time in the GAA no big deal. Again Vaughan resides in the town and has a business there so he's perfectly right." Pride of community bulls**t ??? Thats literally what the ethos of the Gaa is built on. You need to take a step back, maybe think of the Ballinrobe kids watching Mayo in croker focusing in on every single movement their hero clubmate is making. That is one of my earliest memories of GAA. I remember being borderline obsessed with the intercounty guys from my club. And I'm from Sligo! imagine the difference with Mayo with all the exposure they get. This statement reeks from Vaughan.

I agree, I dont want to go naming names but yesterday showed up our quality for where we are at. Hopefully we can keep the scoreline down against Dublin and exit the championship with dignity. We showed some really good signs yesterday but when the Rossies wanted they just upped the gears and drove through us. Its a good learning curve but the sooner we can introduce some of the under 20s the better. The Rossies are a good side to be fair but I think if we keep developing we can be at their level in 2/3 years. Its not a monster gap and giving div 3 a good shot will also bring us on. One other thing, is it just me or do the media tend to be very negative on Sligo? Like give us some credit, we had a right cut at the game yesterday. We could've been ultra defensive like Louth but we didnt, we went toe to toe. 10pts was not a true reflection but I'd rather lose by 10 with our boots on as oppose to lose by 1 in a terrible spectacle

Replying To OhtobeARossie: "Loved marky park last year great watching ye roll over and let us rub yer belly.
And I got to leave after the match and meet little traffic as all the Sligo fans had gone at half time.
Stick that up on Ur wall." Will you grow up! We are going in the right direction and will be very happy if this weekends game is competitive. I'd generally always root and be envious of the Rossies success but comments like this make it extra sweet when ye inevitably get yer arses handed to ye in croker.

It all stems back to our lack of success underage. I've been saying this for years we need to stop the rot of getting trounced by Ros/Mayo/Galway year in year out at U20 and below.

Absolutely unbelievable, to win with three away wins against the big three, just incredible. Congrats to the lads and management, you have made a lot of Sligo people very proud. We are in a good place that is for sure. A few years ago I put on here that we should be trying to emulate Roscommon and what they have done and not to worry about senior football. It looks for all the world that we are the new Roscommon and the hard work is coming to fruition. I have been watching Sligo underage teams for decades and I do not remember a more unified group. We truly have every corner of the county covered typified in the winning point coming from the most unlikely of clubs. I think we should be patient with this group, allow them to grow and flourish. I really think we have the stuff to push this all ireland! Lets do it!

No buying the Rugby and Soccer reason. How may Sligo born players in the English leagues/LOI/Rovers team?
How may Sligo born players in the Ireland/Connacht setups? I think thats a bit of a cop out if you ask me.. My answer is simple:
no minor or meaningful underage titles in donkeys years.
No results from a games promotion officer in the job 15 odd years.
Minimal success in the schools system in which we should be quite good at.
Dominant club team that cannot compete at Connacht level
