It’s great to get the day out etc :crossed_fingers:t2:

Handicap did a bit of bouncing around last night in the wake of the Clifford news, probably more relevant to us

Remember 92

Good start for Sligo.

In GAA, teams traditionally would only change colours over the bodies of dead relatives from the Civil War.

Kerry v Mayo, no colour change. Kerry v Limerick, no colour change. Cork v Galway, no colour change.

Young, idealistic, modern, progressive zealots like myself would rail against this refusal to change colours as a vestige of backward, De Valera Ireland.

Now, teams change colours all the time.

Today Galway are wearing white shirts and maroon shorts while Sligo are wearing black shirts and shorts. The maroon was apparently deemed to be too similar to the black.

Cork v Galway is now deemed a clash. Galway v Wexford is now deemed a clash. Kerry v Mayo is now deemed a clash. Kerry v Limerick is now deemed a clash.

This is what young, idealistic zealots like myself fought for.

And now that we achieved this, we hate it.

Bring back the clashes of colours.

The division 1 team looks to have too much for the division 4 team

Armagh used to have a great oul’ excuse for tackles like that one there committed by the Sligo lad, which was a full force slap to the head of Galway’s Sean Kelly.

“That’s just the way John McEntee tackles.”

Brother Tony on the line for Sligo today.

Brutal from Sligo

Comer like Erling Haaland teeing lads up

Burke should have goaled a minute ago, Sligo gave them another go at it

Sligo could take a few beatings in the group thingy.

Steven Gerrard type slip moment for Sligo there.

Cooke coughs up a lot of ball

A poor Connacht final, the difference in class was always going to manifest itself. You would have to be somewhat fearful for Sligo going forward - Dublin the likely 1st opponents in the next phase.
The 14 point trimming today is likely to be replicated in the group stages and does nothing for morale.

Walsh seems half the player he as before he went to Crokes

They should have put Kerry vs Clare on gaa go to save the world from listening to Morrissey and Fitzmaurice.

Shocking refereeing

If Clare kicked to a team mate they might have a chance

To be fair, he had a long journey to the game today from leafy Stillorgan to Castlebar.
