Sligo supporter, says it all their

Replying To anotheralias:  "Am i he only one who thought the penalry was very soft and definitely not a black card. The leitrim player barged in and it was a collision of bodies which arguably was a penalty but how the ref have seen that as a deliberate drag down?"
It was a very harsh black card. Flaherty came out and stood his ground. Not much else he could have done except get out of the way and let McLoughlin through for an open goal. McLoughlin ran into him, rather than Flaherty taking him down.

Is there anything wrong with a Sligo supporter having an opinion.?
I wasn't negative towards the team or mgt.
I didn't slate any players or belittle anyone.
A few Galway supporters could take a leaf out of my book

Being honest Roscommon were unreal today and we will need everyone of those players playing out of their skins to win the next day.We are underdogs to be sure.

Coming back from injuries, they were great to have as subs yesterday and made some impact. If fit, they should be on the starting 15.

Paddy Power have Galway as favourites for the Connacht Final. 8/13 on.

Walsh has missed like 2 championship games in the last 5 years. Not sure how it can be said he hasn't been consistently fit. Anyone who watched the game yesterday and how lively he looked would say it's absolute madness not to play him

Comer is a different story and it'd be a big surprise if he started but he'll likely come on. But again, not sure starting a player that good if it comes to it later in the year could be considered a step backwards. He came on as a sub twice last year under these new rules and caused havoc both times

Thoughts on yesterday

Black card and penalty was incredible harsh. Could have been a free out for charging directly at Flaherty.

Saying that, we were asleep for the rebound off the post.

For the rebound off the penalty, we left the guy that scored unmarked. Asleep again.

Gleeson nearly cost us with those crazy kick outs. Ridiculous.

Shane was flying when he came on. Looked to have slimmed down a bit and showed pace I thought he might have lost.

Sean Kelly was moving well when he came on.

We were sloppy overall. Lacked concentration.

No harm to go to a Connacht final like that. There'll be no over confidence on our side.

Rossies we're good today. They couldn't miss. They have those type of forwards that can rip you apart on their day. Saying that, Mayo looked terrible. So much space for the Rossies.

All to play for

You are correct, he has missed very few games but he played a lot of games that he was injured and didn't do himself justice. The All Ireland final from 2 years ago springs to mind. He is an exceptional talent and a joy to watch when he is fully fit. I would love to see him starting but there's doubts in my mind if he has the legs for it anymore.

Paddy Power mustn't have factored on Fortress The Hyde in that price. Ye're way overdue v Galway at the Hyde. 1990, I think. On that law of averages, Ros time must be now.
