Why would you think that ponga? His son Pat Jnr transferred to Sligo as his Mom (Pat snrs wife) is from Sligo. Do you not believe that a man would like to watch his son play?

No it's not. I seen him twice in Markievicz, one after the match against Cavan and the other after Carlow. So it is likely that he was at more matches than I seen him at

Nice victory against the top brass of Connacht. Bit embarrassing for them to have to do a U turn. Now we have to back it up on Wednesday night by beating Mayo. Three years ago Mayo Minors came to Markievicz Park and lost. Sligo also beat Roscommon and Leitrim and finished second resulting in them finishing second to Galway in the round robin table. They played Third place Mayo again for a place in Connacht final against Galway but lost.i don't think there will be much in it on Wednesday night. Hopefully we come out the right side of it eoinog (Sligo) - Posts: 1649 - 19/04/2022 08:25:33 2411471 Link 0 |

What did people think of the team selection V NY? Seemed like we were missing alot of forwards from the squad and from photos looks like some fringe players were drafted in. FearSligeach (Sligo) - Posts: 8 - 19/04/2022 12:34:45 2411541 Link 0 |

Lineup was all over the place. 2 midfielders playing wing back and full forward. In midfield we had a wing forward and a defender. Then first midfield sub was a full forward. Only when Marren (a midfielder) came in to play in midfield on 65 minutes did we start to win a few possessions. 2 half backs playing in the wing forwards positions. Maybe the mgmt should try playing players in the positions in which they ate comfortable.

I missed no point. The view you and others had that Connacht COE was fine for U20 knock out championship games i strongly disagreed with. Prenty and Co excuse about TV coverage was utter nonsense. Especially as the week before TG4 covered both semi finals in Carrick on Shannon and Sligo. As for the final this is a situation that should never have occurred, the winner of Sligo and Roscommon was due a home final against Mayo. Its was embarrassing behaviour by Connacht GAA chiefs and like HQ just showed the lack of respect they have for the U20 grade. Hopefully we get a good quality final on Wednesday evening whereby upwards of 3k can attend and may the best team. Yondu (UK) - Posts: 845 - 19/04/2022 14:19:23 2411583 Link 3 |

Beginning to have doubts about McEntee's strategy. Two years in and no semblance of a strong midfield being developed. Despite the modern game being all about fitness, flexibility of positions , retaining possession, etc, no team ever progressed without having a least one descent midfielder.

Remember. There isn't one midfielder on the club scene in the county so I don't know where we are going to produce one for the county team. Best option appears to be Spillane

Paul Kilcoyne but he is at wing back and Conan Marren but he seems to be behind 3 fellas who are not midfielders.

I had liked the look of G. Gorman early on in the season but he hasnt featured much since. I still think we have a much stronger team the last year, but I had hoped we would look more assured in areas like our own kickouts. I presume the Roscommon game is at home? Any word on injuries etc?

Best of luck to Sligo u20s in the provincial final. Nice to see the small counties have their day in the sun. I would like to offer my belated condolences to Sligo GAA, and the family of RedOg Murphy on their tragic loss of a talented player, and a cherished family member. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1735 - 19/04/2022 21:11:53 2411668 Link 1 |

Much like last week I'm not sure how you pulled a win out of the jaws defeats but it's what you did. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3743 - 20/04/2022 20:16:43 2411938 Link 0 |

Delighted for Sligo! They have had their share of heartbreaking defeats in tight games at all grades over the years so it is great to see them come out on the right side this time. Enjoy the celebrations and good luck in the all-Ireland semi. Gaillimh_Abu (Galway) - Posts: 996 - 20/04/2022 20:32:18 2411939 Link 0 |
