Replying To gaaman20: "Did anyone hear word on Castleconnor getting rid of manager Declan O'Dea?" If they did , it seems very harsh, changing management mid championship isn't going to solve anything sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 07/08/2020 22:22:15 2286809 Link
What's the reasoning behind no club's allowed to stream their own games now? NewSligofan (Sligo) - Posts: 258 - 08/08/2020 12:44:21 2286857 Link
What's people thought on the progressing covid situation ? I hear there's a GAA meeting next week regarding it, do people think this year should be scrapped for the safety of our communities ? sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 09/08/2020 00:22:04 2286936 Link

If there's no evidence of cases coming from GAA activity then no reason to change in my view. So long as clubs follow the guidelines and rules put in place. The ticket thing is a pain in the backside from a supporters point of view as you can't travel to a good game your own club isn't involved in, although I've heard stories that it depends whose on the gate in some cases! It's the only bit of normality out there at the moment so I hope it doesn't go again. Great win for Drumcliffe last night which I didn't expect and really puts them in contention now to top the group possibly. No other surprises last night Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 428 - 09/08/2020 09:14:52 2286947 Link

For instance if a club in Sligo has a player living in them counties now , he can't return to his club , as far as I'm concerned if you have counties in lockdown you can't continue, it's too much of a risk, And I don't want football to end , I love going to games, It's just being realistic, (like harps going down , bloodsub) Absolutely brilliant game by Drumcliffe , and a powerhouse display by curry aswel, was extremely impressed by them, Coolaney/mul seem to be in a bad rut sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 09/08/2020 12:26:26 2286971 Link

The whole lot shouldn't be held up because of one or two lads in an odd club here and there. Clubs have to be prepared to continue on without certain players in this climate Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 428 - 09/08/2020 14:57:05 2286990 Link

I was up at the park on Saturday evening a marys team that gave up very early. On this forum there's no respect ever given to Calry and how they have improved the last few years looking at the stream on Facebook their physicality was brilliant against the county champions I think themselves and drumcliffe are the two to watch. nonbiasedsupporter (Sligo) - Posts: 1 - 10/08/2020 11:22:31 2287090 Link

You are very welcome as a newbie, However you need to have your facts right or you won't be taken seriously. Maybe you were nervous as it's your first time but Shamrock Gaels lost.... Not true that Calry don't get respect. You have to earn respect and hopping up and down over the years from intermediate and Junior doesn't stand up. I have actually tipped them to be runners up to Tourlestrane. Group 1 wide open . Tubber are in driving seat to top the group with Drumcliffe to finish second. However if drop points in the last game and depending on other results Tubber may finish third and Drumcliffe in Relegation so a lot of football to be played yet. The losers of Harps v shamrock Gaels will definitely be in relegation with the last game a dead rubber for them. Good to see Curry put their off field problems to one side and beat Ballymote, while Mc Garty and Harrison should put their talents to help a poor John's team than ridicule others. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1958 - 10/08/2020 12:04:57 2287099 Link

I agree Eoinog on your point about McGarty and Harrison. Very poor form on their part. However there was no way the controversy was going to upset Curry. They are a racking up big scorelines. At the minute it looks like Curry, Molaise and Farnans for the intermediate. Some win for drumcliffe. They are a great example of a team building slowly and giving management time. Obviously their recruitment has helped to get to another level. They are so we'll organised. Mary's were very poor however. Surprising to see a Rooney team lacking such heart.

very disappointing news from the govt yesterday, cant see the benefit of hitting the GAA, going to games was the only release from this pandemic, and anyways how in the name of god do they expect teams to prepare for championship matches with 14 players and 1 coach allowed at training's from these guidelines, they are aswel pull the plug on the whole lot, id hate to be part of any team these days with the amount of uncertainty in the air sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 19/08/2020 09:07:22 2288189 Link

Everyone still gathers together outside as it's their natural habit at this stage and when it rained all ran for the stand! The reports on radio and on here of people from clubs getting in to games not involving their own club shows that rules weren't followed somewhere in the system. The training one makes no sense though that only 15 can train but 30 can take to the field in a game! Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 428 - 19/08/2020 19:32:17 2288308 Link
Any predictions for this weekend? Here's my run down on it: Mary's v Tubber: Pressure on Mary's to get a win so I'll back them as Tubber have beaten what may turn out to be the bottom two teams so far. Harps v Shamrock Gaels: A race to stay out of the bottom which should be a close run game so I'll chance a draw that's of no use to either side. Geevagh v Tourlestrane: Only one outcome Tourlestrane Coolera v Calry: The makings of a great game given how this group is working out. Calry need something even a draw from the game to get second place and I think they will do. Intermediate Bunninadden v Molaise Gaels: Molaise should have enough for this game Enniscrone v Ballymote: Enniscrone with another narrow win to keep them out of the danger zone John's v Easkey: Another win for Easkey Castleconnor v Michaels: Looks like it's a case of who comes 4th or 5th in this game. I'll back Castleconnor for a win. Junior A Harps v Mary's: Marys win Pats v Cloonacool: Pats win Tourlestrane v Molaise Gaels: Tourlestrane win Shamrock Gaels v Owenmore Gaels: Owenmore win Sligoman1234 (Sligo) - Posts: 428 - 21/08/2020 07:53:38 2288494 Link
so how did the games behind closed doors go? was there a few spectators ? i heard the gaels vs harps game had about 40 spectators at it , which is expected i dont begrudge any man getting into a game this weather, i had to make do with the streaming service, no upsets in the senior championship all expected results, marys showed up when they needed too, some real eyebrow raising results from the intermediate though!! bunninadden shocking molaise (look forward to the rundown of this one bloodsub) and ballymote over turning enniscrone, which was a real upset, that group 1 in intermediate is what championship is all about, everyone beating each other sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 24/08/2020 09:09:06 2288855 Link

Last round robin games this weekend. Most of the senior positions are done and dusted. Tubber lead Group A but I imagine they have their boots put away for the year. Drumcliffe should beat Harps to top group with Mary's beating Gaels to finish second. If Gaels do manage a win then they will probably take third spot helping Tubber into the playoffs . Should the unthinkable happen and Harps win then Drumcliffe will lose out on a playoff. In Group B there is nothing at stake to play for except pride. Coolera won't want to get hammered by Tourlestrane as they will be hoping to meet again in the final. The bottom 2 are already determined. It's a lot trickier in the Group A of the intermediate. Ballymote and Enniscrone are in relegation and it looks like the bunny's will lose out to Curry and Molaise in the promotion race. But remember last year, the bunny's beat Curry well. Group B has Easkey and Farnans home and dry. The big game is John's and Michael's with the loser going into relegation. Football seemed a little more exciting this year but no crowds made it a little surreal. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1958 - 28/08/2020 16:44:31 2289530 Link

Ballymote could get out of relegation if they managed to beat Molaise and the other game was a draw, or Curry won easily. It is a bit unlikely though.

If ballymote beat molaise it won't matter if curry won by 100 points , bunninadden have the better of molaise and ballymote on the head to head which it comes down to , not score difference If it's a draw and ballymote win, molaise will be in relegation Highly unlikely ballymote will get third either way sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 28/08/2020 21:51:51 2289571 Link
