No bother mark cheers for sorting whatever was wrong with it . How you fancy mayos chances this year

Great craic at work here talking about the upcoming Connacht Classico in Pearse Stadium this month (only 17 days away)

Mayo go into the game as clear favourites, no matter what MayoMark says However, they have been picking up a number of injuries of late. Conroy, the two Morans, Varley just some examples of players struggling with injuries atm. Dillon has returned to club football but whether he is ready for a championship clash with Galway will remain to be seen.

Galway on the other hand, have come off the back of an indifferent league campaign in Division 2, to add to that terrible 2012 Championship. Pressure on Mulholland to deliver Championship football to Galway well into July at least. Squad yet to be finalised as of now, given the benefit we have of our U-21's in the All-Ireland final to come back which will give not only the team a boost but the supporters as well.

Some good footballers in that side but even if they beat Cork at the weekend, an All-Ireland U-21 title will not be the decisive factor in Galway bating Mayo, as demonstrated in the 2011 clash, the last between these tow sides which finished in a facile 6 point victory for Mayo at McHale Park.

Weather has been good of late in the West so all signs point to a scorcher at the seaside . Not that weather is gonna have much impact on the game thanks to that **** of a wind factor at Salthill which will probably ruin game as a spectacle   but I won't complain if we sneak a win!

We are f**ked ringer! Injury crisis is a feckin understatement

Have you been called up yet Rog? Got a text off James there. Having a bit of bother with the old leg so not sure if I'll bother

BTW Del Piero, I like that, the Connacht Classico

Gaa have a contract with tickets.ie as far as I know. Local supervalue stores in donegal had tickets for sale today as well but had none left . As always confident il get my ticket from the club (missed 1 championship game in 15 years) but will be a lot of upset people. 20500 members in donegal and they are gonna get around 6500 tickets for this game

I know what you saying mark but some people still like to get their tickets from their club myself included and some of these people will miss out.the main problem here in donegal is the rapid jump in club members last year we had roughly 7500 fully paid members this year it's around 20500. Personally I don't think tickets should be on general sale for this. My brothers pa just after telling me was two men in local supervalue today who bought 8 tickets each today. Can see a lot of touts floating about ballybofey on 26th may especially with the news that all other counties in ulster will get tickets for this game as well.
