At least I made a prediction. So many people come on when the game is over with their wise words

Is there any chance of getting a bit of analysis of the game for people who didn't see the game instead of petty arguements over nothing Anto (Sligo) - Posts: 399 - 13/10/2025 13:01:04 2639735 Link 0 |
Coolera i imagine will be sick they didnt get job done yesterday, they never looked like losing in my opinion.SG be thrilled to have got draw. Eddie_irvine (Sligo) - Posts: 6 - 13/10/2025 13:41:03 2639742 Link 0 |
Would have lost but for the Strandhill goalkeeper who was rightly awarded man of the match afterwards. SG will be annoyed they only scored 2 goals. On another note why no extra time yesterday and why is the replay pushed out two weeks. Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 584 - 13/10/2025 14:22:56 2639759 Link 0 |
I suppose you could say Gaels got the larger slice of the good fortune in the game. 5+ mins of injury time with the wind, 2 x 2pts for breaches, retaken penalty, etc. C/S got 1 min added time with the wind, they did score a goal with last kick of the half, well past that minute. Gaels missed a lot of goal chances and I think they will kick themselves for a slight lack of composure when chasing the game. They probably regret not keeping the scoreboard ticking over in the middle period of the 2nd half. I thought C/S would hold out but then they coughed up the breach and allowed Quinn to level it, I doubt SG would've got the ball to him to get a shot away from play. It is usually the team that equalizes that have the better feeling in a draw, but I'd imagine SG will have some regrets. Was that their chance? Will they be better for the experience? Only time will tell. It was a very enjoyable game and I am looking forward to the replay Two_Hops (Sligo) - Posts: 13 - 13/10/2025 14:43:57 2639769 Link 0 |
There's some anti west sentiment on this forum. I haven't been to Keash since it was redeveloped but with the minor senior double header where else could that game have been played? Collooney closed. Tubber has only 2 (substandard) dressing rooms. It was ran well and the weather had very little impact. Of course the west is going to get stuff, the chairman and vice are from there. The county board was run from the south and the town for long enough and sweet * all done. Look at the state of Markievicz. Enniscrone did a fine job.

Enniscrone did a superb job, everything was catered for and no delays getting out. I would imagine the replay not being next week is because they are in the Intermediate final Sunday, Harps while they have great match facilities now wouldn't be able to cater for the crowd Enniscrone had yday. I'd estimate close to 2000 probably. Tubber has the Intermediate Sunday so doubt they will want Senior on Saturday and Inter Sunday so as posters have said where else can ya go?

Finals should be winner on the day as the Donegal final was yesterday. There was a good few people from both clubs who travelled from abroad for the game and had time booked off work and won't be able to come back again to enjoy the celebrations should their team win. I think all finals should now be winner on the day or at least extra time and reduce the need for replays muscles (Sligo) - Posts: 491 - 13/10/2025 17:42:04 2639826 Link 0 |
Don't agree with you. Just because someone travels back a long distance shouldn't stop a replay. Players deserve another full whack at it before extra time. There was loads of giving out when intercounty games were lost on penalties. There's room in the calendar to allow for it. Granted I'd prefer it this coming weekend but not possible. I see on social media it is fixed for Sunday 26th at 3pm in Enniscrone with another man from the west to take charge again. The West Awake surely!

I'd agree with sentiments on hosting the game in Enniscrone. Thought it was well hosted and has the room for the crowd. Every time I go back there, there is more work done. The pitch isn't incredible but what a fine facility. The stranger thing is the clash with the Coolera ladies. Not much thought given to those wanting to see both games. I personally would have loved to have seen it under lights. A replay presented the opportunity for something like that. As for the change in referee, the best in the county is overseeing the replay in my opinion not that the competition is too stringent. I fully agree also on a replay and would hope penalties doesn't determine the result. johncreilly (Sligo) - Posts: 187 - 14/10/2025 12:25:36 2639924 Link 0 |
The players also have time booked off for the celebrations

I'm sure the players are happier to have another day out than have been on the beer yesterday after extra time that could have gone anyway, or given how stoppage time went a bad call go against them. If one team celebrates one must be drowning their sorrows so I'm sure the majority of them won't mind postponing the drink for the chance to win again.

I don't believe there's any anti West sentiment on this forum. There is however a bit on disappointment that the West have got so many games and in this I mean group stage of championship games. It's disappointing that a new administration which we were all told would be completely different from the old one is actually mirroring the very same stuff. It wasn't right that Bunnyland was getting all the game's for a few years and now it' seems it:s payback where all clubs have to head west. It's difficult to have faith in the Co Board for big decisions with this type of childish behavior. Anyway enough about politics. I said before the senior final that I would be selfish and hope for a draw. I did very well getting 2 drawn finals over the weekend. Wasn't it ironic that both games concluded with 2 pointers. Coolera will be the most disappointed. They couldn't shake off the Gaels who kept coming back at them. They were my tip at the onset of the championship but will they get over the line the next day? Underdogs normally only get one bite at the cherry. A replay is the correct decision. Anyone who travelled over for the game witnessed a great game. Most of them will travel again. Remember the slogan. Nothing beats being there eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 2250 - 14/10/2025 17:48:39 2639993 Link 0 |
