    Thought there were health and safety issues?Can't imagine the capacity won't be adequate for a Mayo Sligo final.

    Don't see Sligo causing us to much hassel in the final. They will not get away with the short ball kick out to start with they lost midfield tonight as they will the next day

    Smart by Sligo to put fast mobile lads in midfield.
    We should be too strong in all areas. Marren is the main man. Reduce his influence and go hard at their defence with layoffs n runners. Great to see Sligo winning. See kids running on the pitch to their heroes.

    Forwards will be trouble though. True what sky pundits said, their cover is blown now. Good to see the pretenders out

    Experienced too. Without doubt full backs will have more difficulty with Kelly and Marren than what they faced v Galway. Test is how they cope passed the 40

    Are the stars aligning for Mayo this year? First the Galway lad gets injured in the car crash, now Sligo in the final...

    As we've come to expect from his time as Donegal manager,big coup for SKY.

    Correct.
    Hyde park can't take it for H&S reasons, if that is still the case I'm not sure.

    Sligo will not drag their supporters down to Salthill for what would at best be negligible gain over playing it in Castlebar

    We certainly wouldn't want to be giving them handy Goals. We will have to stop their supply. We better make a better job of going at them than Roscommon did.

    No disrespect to Sligo, but we really should be beating any Division 3 outfit with minimal fuss.
    I certainly don't see why we can't, there's no way our midfield and half back line will afford the Sligo forwards such clean possession as the had against Roscommon.
    Throw in the probable home advantage (I have no problem with Salthill from a purely football perspective) and I fully expect us to make it five in a row.

    I agree but at the same time we must respect our opposition and never take them for granted. Roscommon appeared to take their eye of the ball and possibly be waiting for the final.Overconfidence can be fatal.They appeared tired with 2 long league campaigns,long under 21 campaigns.One wonders if they were engaged in a lot of strength and conditioning recently as they appeared very leggy.

    I've no doubt the seasoned group of players we have will approach the Sligo match with their normal professional attitude to the fore.

    Roscommon looked slow and cumbersome in comparison to Sligo.

    Sligo looked generally smaller (unless its those black Jerseys) but made up for this with endeavour and fitness.

    Mayo would be dumb to underestimate them. I wouldn't like to be Feeling like Roscommon today after the Connacht Final.

    Regardless of Sligo's strengths in the forwrads and Mayos penchant for letting in goals, Mayo should still have too much for Sligo.
    Physicality and big game experience is certainly on Mayo's side.
