Replying To MrUnderhill:  "Ya but they still haven't won anything. Replays can be very different as we saw in the Leitrim semi replay today."
In the Leitrim semi final the favourite won well. Odds for the Sligo final replay Shamrock Gaels 4/7 Coolera Strandhill 5/4

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "A draw with the replay in two weeks. You underestimated Shamrock Gaels."
At least I made a prediction. So many people come on when the game is over with their wise words

Is there any chance of getting a bit of analysis of the game for people who didn't see the game instead of petty arguements over nothing

Would have lost but for the Strandhill goalkeeper who was rightly awarded man of the match afterwards. SG will be annoyed they only scored 2 goals.

On another note why no extra time yesterday and why is the replay pushed out two weeks.

I suppose you could say Gaels got the larger slice of the good fortune in the game. 5+ mins of injury time with the wind, 2 x 2pts for breaches, retaken penalty, etc.
C/S got 1 min added time with the wind, they did score a goal with last kick of the half, well past that minute.

Gaels missed a lot of goal chances and I think they will kick themselves for a slight lack of composure when chasing the game. They probably regret not keeping the scoreboard ticking over in the middle period of the 2nd half.

I thought C/S would hold out but then they coughed up the breach and allowed Quinn to level it, I doubt SG would've got the ball to him to get a shot away from play.

It is usually the team that equalizes that have the better feeling in a draw, but I'd imagine SG will have some regrets.
Was that their chance? Will they be better for the experience? Only time will tell.

It was a very enjoyable game and I am looking forward to the replay
