Replying To eoinog: "Good to see a new face on here. Sligopublican is not to be taken seriously . He makes outlandish predictions every week and claims to be from about 5 different areas. But he is great craic. I have heard nothing about the duo of managers and their antics. It's a pity that such an experienced couple are so disrespectful to the championship by naming such blatantly inaccurate teams each week. Did anyone really think that the midfield would be 2 Egan's and that Harte, Mc intyre, the 2 Henrys and James Leonard would not be starting" The team sheets don't bother me, most of them have been a waste of time for a long time. If you look every week most clubs have the same lineup listed weeks in a row. My guess is management name the 34/35 players and don't bother to change it. All part of the tactical battle now. On the 2 tour lads I won't claim to have been at the game was listening on the radio and it was said both of them finished the game on the terrace after invading the pitch over a penalty decision. They have got away with too much on the sideline for years and it's time they were taken to task at last. MrWest91 (Sligo) - Posts: 14 - 09/09/2020 13:20:16 2291288 Link

"got away with two much" is an understatement - they are the two best managers in the history of Sligo Football ever...........look at their record undefeated in league and championship for past 5 years, yes 5 years, Mr ABT leyny (Sligo) - Posts: 71 - 09/09/2020 14:31:15 2291308 Link

Mary's not good enough or coolera. Tourlestrane are the only club with their house in order it seems and fair play to them but sligo football needs a strong championship not 1 team untouchable. And on being the best managers in history of sligo their record outside the county leaves a lot to be desired. MrWest91 (Sligo) - Posts: 14 - 09/09/2020 14:49:14 2291313 Link
Tourlestrane had better teams in the last 20 years. The also had good opposition back then too. Fair play on their achievements and they are a good panel but the quality in Sligo is so poor. NewSligofan (Sligo) - Posts: 258 - 09/09/2020 16:59:37 2291328 Link
tourlestrane are so hard to watch , their brand of football is brutal, but it wins games, its coming to the end of the road for o hara and mcgowan imo, what more can they do? they wont be a fart in the wind in connacht (and thats not to outlandish eoinog is it?) as for sligos football, the intermediate championship is where the entertainment factor is, im a harps man till i die after all but that team has been in decline over the years, along with coolaney mullinabreena, tubbercurry, and the likes, no minors coming through whatsoever, tubbercurry mullinabreena and cloonacool had to pull together this year for underage and got a battering by 15 plus points every game, harps and curry in a minor B shield final aswel this week, once that would have been a minor A final, teams just arent producing the development of underage anymore, not one team could touch tourlestrane in the near future bar drumcliff, they play the same brand , and seem to be going in the right direction, going by the minor A final lastnight , which was a excellent game to watch and fair play to sligo gaa for streaming it free, that molaise team was so physically strong, really showed some of the underage delepment gym programs, as the county lads really stood out, if they can win intermediate and them young lads push on, molaise will be a force aswel in the future, i hope thats not to outlandish eoinog, but thats my opinion on sligo football sligopublican (Sligo) - Posts: 45 - 10/09/2020 09:02:16 2291377 Link

Curry may go back up this year but I have seen lots of them in intermediate last few years and once Adrian Marren goes they will struggle to win games at that level never mind senior. They will need some youngsters to come through to get them anywhere close to what they were. Harps are going to be intermediate sooner rather than later, maybe not this year coming but its on the cards, again they're being held together by old timers like Ross and Tony Taylor. That can't last either. Tour you have to give credit too 4 in a row and maybe 5 is great even if its not exactly a golden age for club football in Sligo. That said I cannot see that this Tour team would be doing that 10/15 years ago, there was too much competition then. Also watched the minor final and it was a great game of football with a few very talented lads on both sides especially in attack, great scoring and I'd imagine for a neutral probably a mile ahead of what will be served up in the senior final where it will be packed defences and low scoring. maximus_1 (Sligo) - Posts: 25 - 11/09/2020 08:26:24 2291500 Link

The outlandish bits are calling a bunny Ballymote game a west Derby, or you totally wrong on how teams go through if they level on points, bunny's in relegation trouble if they lose their second game (they won the first) and that the intermediate title is Curry's to lose ???? Throw in the fact that you claim to be from Harps which I don't believe cos in nearly every post you have them condemned to intermediate. You claim that they have no minors coming through despite the fact that there must be 6 or 7 of the Minor A Championship winning team playing each week. The minor game was very good. I thought Marten who is u.16 was really impressive. There were good performances from the older minors but I was really disappointed with the current 17 year olds who are on the Sligo team. When your team scores 4.17 and current minors playing in the forwards fails to score there is something seriously wrong. I took in a lot of minor games and I picked out a really good keeper, at least one midfielder and 2 forwards that are not even on the Sligo minor panel. When I mentioned this to someone I was told I was innocent as all minor mgt that have sons of 17 years are all in the minor set up regardless of ability. It was sickening to hear, did we not learn from the Rooney era. eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2074 - 11/09/2020 13:10:27 2291541 Link
