Would think it should be Sligo though eh?

The Hyde is a good venue for a bigger crowd. Within walking distance of the town and loads of parking around.

Sligo is grand but too small for the crowd that will travel.

Kingspan would be a good choice in Cavan. Lovely spot for a game.

Ah c'mon. He's in his first season as a pundit. Give him time.

I've a feeling he may suffer permanantly from HenrySheflinitis...very aware of his perceived standing in the game, to the degree that he won't ever be 100% honest. He knows that if there is even the faintest whiff of putting the boot in & he'll be all over de papurs the next morning. :rolleyes:

Agus? Did they have opinions or was it all mealy mouthed TSG crap?

It was rightly commented that both players were fortunate to not see red,not sure what more you want.Faux outrage.:)

I noticed Mossy Quinn highlighted the Moto on the wall of the Roscommon dressing room. "Honestly of Effort, Absence of Ego"

Ah i like when TSG gets the bit between their teeth over something. I guess they're waiting for next Sunday.

It'll be a big day with Tyrone and Dublin in action. I can see it now...

I can't ever recall there being crowd trouble at a GAA game before
Whats that all about ? Westmeath and Armagh are hardly bitter enemies

I've yet to meet a man who wants to spend any more time in Claregalway than he has to. Also that chipper is rotten. I got a pizza there once, and it was terrible. never again.

Agreed. Nico's hasn't been the same since it left Ballyhaunis for Claregalway in the late 90s

Part of the 2003 run to the semi finals. Two entertaining games

Yep, the 'party county' (not galway) descended en masse into Castlebar for that particular tie. The cousin, a castlebar man, basically said there was little or no stocks of alcohol remaining in the town by night's end. Reckoned he never saw the town's pubs do a better night's business.

blowitupref · 10-07-2017 01:03AM

I didn't see it coming in the Connacht final matter of fact i had this game to be tight with Galway to win a few points. Roscommon were truly outstanding and on the day were over 12 points the better team than a shell-shocked Galway.

McStay shipped his fair share amount of criticism but he and his management team really did the business in this final, homework done on their opposition and simply put Galway had no answer to their game plan and spot on tactics. The talented footballers was never in question in Roscommon anyone that follows underage or college football would know this but what made todays win all the more remarkable was they won at ease without so many top quality players like Neill Collins,Niall Daly,Ultan Harney and Conor Daly,David Keenan etc

As for Galway it about getting back on the horse after their fall today. They have beaten Mayo twice in the championship,won their first Connacht title in 8 years last summer and finally got promoted back to Div 1 that is big progress from where they were. Like Roscommon they are a young team with plenty of potential and loads of room for improvement which i believe both will only get better in the years ahead.

Ooooooooooooooooh snarky.

I've been enjoying their run. Hopefully they will do something productive in the game but it's Monaghan's by far to lose.

Yup. With you on that.

DoctaDee · 10-07-2017 09:44AM

Ah yer a cold one Pat ... I never thought Carlow would elicit any negativity in the greater realm of things... We have so many other counties to choose from!

Wasn't at the game but was speaking to a friend who was and he said some of the Armagh support were abusing some Westmeath subs when they were warming up and when the Armagh goal went in at the end one of the subs threw some water at the fans

DoctaDee · 10-07-2017 09:52AM

The only trouble I ever had in Mullingar was finding my way to a mates house after a lock in in Canton Caseys :rolleyes:

He's a Wicklow man. Normal rules don't apply to our mountain folk.

Ehh I'm from Mayo and was delighted Roscommon won and wouldn't begrudge them a bit of airtime lifting the cup.

BonnieSituation wrote: »

Didn't get to see TSG.

Did they go hell for leather after Mayo and the WWE antics at the end of the game?

I think Harrison was right, there is too much of this grabbing a lad in a neck lock to tear him to the ground.
Maybe some other lad will now think twice about grabbing someone in a neck lock.

Of course TSG were saying how dangerous it was what Harrison did but shag all about the ever increasing number of times you see someone in a neck lock.

Anyway the bigger story it seems it how some now see Cody as the equivalent of connolly what with his "attack" on the 4th official.
As I think Duignan ?? said he had absolutely no animosity towards the official it was all towards Derek McGrath.

Ah come on no need to be bitter that they have had a bit of a run.

The match was poor enough standard, but was close throughout. The last fifteen minutes or so were particularly nerve wracking as Westmeath had chances to bury the game and spurned them.

A lot of the Armagh supporters - who were the majority in the crowd - were not pleased at what they perceived as a biased refereeing performance, and there was a lot of anger. I'm led to believe that that anger manifested itself in the stand with a lot of verbals between Armagh supporters and the Westmeath bench. When Armagh got the late goal to win the game, the Armagh supporters were keen to point it out to the lads on the Westmeath bench and they got showered with water for their trouble. At that stage, tempers really threatened to boil over. *

* I didn't see any of this myself, as I was on the far side of the ground - I was told this by an Armagh supporter who was in the vicinity.

In general that's the order of the day when a division 1 team is playing an underdog.

Not in Ballybofey last week. Was throwing out cards to Longford like snuff at a wake and sent off Longford man very harshly.

PS did you hear Longford had to borrow a jesrsy from one of their supporters after a blood sub-bet theyre not spending 1m a year preparing team. Reminds me of the time someone from the club came to my house to requisition a green jersey i had so they could make an away strip for a tournament

Breffni is a great venue and one Donegal would be more than happy with I`d imagine but getting on the road after is almost as bad as Clones.

Markievicz in Sligo I was surprised to learn has now a capacity of 18,588, so probably the most practical venue for both sets of supporters.
