Replying To Southsligoman:  "Champo baby.. we have had some luck so far!

Canice back is huge. Mullen too.

D bould mcgurn is a typical modern day gym footballer. Can kick a point strong and very athletic. A guy who lacks real talent but like gary neville has worked hard on his physique and has made the most of his ability. He needs marking. They have another forward love he is tidy.

A good team. Sligo by 2."
The sooner this purgatory is over the better to be honest, a dreadful year no matter how far they stumble on in this competition

As we edge closer to the Fermanagh game part of me feels they could just stumble over the line. Fermanagh were shocking when we played them in the league winning by 7, and they clearly have improved. The home win against Wexford in particular being a turning point for them. If it is true that we're getting some of the injured lads back for tomorrow then it's a very even keel game in my view. This may well be delusional optimism but neither Fermanagh or Sligo are the same teams they were last year. Bookies place a 3 point advantage with the home side, which probably is about right. Jones and McGurn are the danger men up front which is where we miss the likes of Lyons.

It'd be some stroke of luck to stumble into a semi final if we do pull it off...and it'll paper over the cracks a bit for management to get them another year, but we may thank the luck of the draw every time if we do.

I agree with you sligoman. 'Stumble' is the word! Pace is hard bet and we have it. Strongish team picked. Spillane on the bench can have a massive impact. Like his dad his speed athleticism and score taking could be a match winner. Win this and we are in a semi final in croker. As Obama said yes we can!
