Replying To Jackose:  "Good to see the minors beat Mayo after the u20 loss, mid field and breaks won by Mayo, Henaghan the only forward making any runs. Like the u20 they take too much out of it and run into tackles and give away a tuenover. They need a centre forward to take control and kick the ball in.. sligo had a man sent of and a black card and galway struggled to beat them."
Ye won by 1 point would not get carried away and hardly makes up for the beating we gave ye at under 20s. ..

Ah what are you talking about buddy?
Do you see anyone getting carried away?
Cos I don't. That's an average Mayo team so well hardly be getting carried away with a narrow win over them

Can't buy stand tickets for kids at the previous 5 euro anymore. They're all €35, stupid decision. Small kids won't see a thing in a busy terrace, and it'll cost €175 to sit 3 kids and 2 adults in the stand. Ridiculous decision.

Gaa appear to be trying to get rid of season tickets.I'm nearly sure the first championship game was included when i first signed up.

Maybe in Leinster, but it's a new decision in Connacht for the semi finals. It's madness.

It won't be a sell out ! There will be plenty of space to see the game.
Take yourselves over to the old shed. Better banter there. €25 a ticket there and €5 for the cubs.
As I said in another post, bring back the flask of tae and sandwiches.
The weather doesn't look too bad so the far scoreboard end is always quiet.
Sit them up on them leaning barriers if you need.
Ways around everything.

I meant that what should be especially for provincial semi final would be enough

In the past it was very important to get a good run in underage comps because your season/development opportunities could be over after 1 game.

Now with the round robin, players are getting more time.

If you look back to our minor winning team that beat Mayo after being hockeyed multiple times in Connacht. they were a different team by the end of the year. Young lads can develop really quickly. The penny drops etc.

Don't be too despondent about the U20 game. As someone said we dominated the kick out in the second half but panicked a bit on the ball with some poor shot selection. We should take the positives from that. That is a good Mayo team, and that should be acknowledged.

Mcdonalds goal was reminiscent of a goal we conceded in the league against Rossies and Donegal. Kick out over the top and the player that catches it has a clean run in unchallenged. System error. We can't have everyone in the air at the same time. Need one person down to either get the breaks or as a blocker if we lose it. Easy enough fix. Sometimes players are over eager.

Team I think we'll see Sunday
1. Flaherty
2. McGrath
3. Hernon
4. Glynn
5. Silke
6. McHugh
7. Mulkerrin
8. Maher
9. Tierney
10. McGrath
11. Mulhern
12. Darcy
13. Finnerty
14. MacDonnacha
15. O'Conghaile

Plenty of quality there to get the job done. Another couple of weeks rest for Kelly's hamstring would be no harm. Good pace to come in from bench too from O'Flaherty and Molloy. Be great if O'Laoi was available also. Mulryan could be worth a place on the bench after this U20 performances.
