It might be a exaggeration to claim that it was a big win against Galway if the match report is anything to go by....

In fairness its the oscar traynor. As far as i can see not many teams take it very serious. A change in format might help.

Mayo 4-1 Sligo Leitrim

I think Ross progress because the won head to head v Mayo??

[swinfordfc]

Mayo 4-1 Sligo Leitrim

I think Ross progress because the won head to head v Mayo??

Roscommon do advanced as they have exact same goal difference ..... and goal scored so it goes down to head to head...... Roscommon won that 2-0

[G3rryB]

Referee was a disgrace in that game, 3 players sent off for Sligo Leitrim and one after full time.

This is the match report on The View From The Touchline website:(seems to suggest the ref was poor, but it is the Sligo version of events...would be interesting to hear the Mayo version?!!?)

Sligo Leitrim & D.S.L. Weekly Round-Up 9/1/2012.

The Sligo Leitrim and District League representative team journeyed to Milebush Castlebar to challenge the Mayo League in this second round clash of the Umbro Oscar Traynor competition. Mayo broke the deadlock after ten minutes when Brendan Lavelle got the rub of the green when no offside was given and he rounded Tony Clarke in the Sligo goals to tap home the opener. Mayo were now on top and Sligo Captain Gary Rooney had his hands full in midfield with a battle royal between him and Gerard O Boyle with the latter going close on twenty one minutes with a blistering shot just going marginally wide of the Clarke’s goal. Referee Damien MC Grath seemed a little under pressure and he allowed some rough challenges from both sides to go unpunished in particular some very hard tackles by Declan Flynn at centre back for Mayo and yet in was Gareth Kelly of Sligo Leitrim who got the first yellow on twenty seven minutes when protesting about another heavy tackle on him. Mayo were now employing dropping the ball over the back line of defenders and allowing the fleet of foot Brendan Lavelle the opportunity to run into the space and a job he exploited very well especially with little chance of being caught offside. Clive Sommers and John Gaffney were on overtime in the heart of the visitors defence with Mayo piling on the pressure then the second yellow card went against Sligo Leitrim again when Colin Jinks tackled Danny Scahill in what was no better or worse than previous tackles. The resulting free kick saw Gerard O Boyle coming close yet again with his header coming back of the post. Gareth Kelly then worked a corner kick that resulted in three consecutive corners on the Mayo goal but they caused little trouble. On the stroke of half time Mayo skipper Declan Flynn eventually picked up a yellow card after a foul on Gary Rooney, then Keith Nibbs brought off a great save from Neil Mc Nicholas in the Mayo goals and Sligo had two more golden opportunities to level matters before the break but it was not to be.
The second got under way and once again it was that man Brendan Lavelle making Tony Clarke take of a superb save on forty nine minutes then one minute later Keith Nibbs broke the Mayo offside trap and racing through on goal he drew out keeper Mc Nicholas before passing to Gareth Kelly to slot home a glorious equaliser. Mayo came right back on the attack and Declan Flynn brought out another superb save from Clarke. On sixty minutes the game turned on its head referee Damien MC Grath awarded a penalty to Mayo which appeared reasonable but then he produced the Red Card to Sligo Leitrim Captain Gary Rooney for something that was said. Danny Scahill slotted home the resulting penalty but the game was effectively over with a needless red card then a blatant penalty was denied Sligo Leitrim on seventy minutes when Gareth Kelly was hacked down in the Mayo box in full view of the referee only to see play waved on. Twelve minutes from time Michael Duffy got Mayo’s third and three minutes into extra time keeper Tony Clarke with the ball in his possession was felled to the ground by Mayo substitute Brian Gallagher who then placed the loose ball into an empty net. The Sligo Leitrim players waited for a free kick but the goal was allowed stand. In the end the score line was academic but with six yellow cards and three red all dished out by Mr Mc Grath to the neutral observer by his lack of control was to a large extent the author of his own work that seen him more the focal point then the teams. In the end the Roscommon League would now appear to be flying the colours for Connacht in this year’s Oscar Traynor.

This has to be the worst ref I have ever seen, I'm not talking about today's game alone. The game is always about him, running around like a new born lamb, flashing card's if you open your mouth but you can kick anyone you want to.
Having said that the Sligo lad's had to much to say!!

The game could have been over at half time if Mayo could score, they missed at least 4 good chances and the same in the second half.
They done the same v Ross and missed a peno.

Was not at the game but this referee has done the line in Champions league games,European qualifiers and league of Ireland.It seems from this report that 2 of the red-cards was for abusing or for saying something to the referee,this is something that is here in Mayo for a number of years,where questioning or abuse of a referee is at least yellow and somtimes red.

[badker]

Anyone know where abouts the Inishown League play there Oscar Traynor matches? Do they use a Clubs ground or do they have their own.

[gunner1]

i was at the game, s/l should have being down to 10 men after 8 mins for a hand ball. s/l were very poor and offered nothing to the game but lack of disapline both on the pitch and off the bench, having said that mayo did get the rub of the green on the day prob by keeping their mouths shut and getting on with it:ball:

[G3rryB]

Ya the Sligo lads definitely had too much to say but they probably felt they had reason. Rooney got sent off for saying ''your biased'' to the ref. That's when it kinda kicked off with the sendings off and the like.

What did he expect,you are not allowed to say anything to the referee,i would agree at times it has gone too far the other way here in Mayo,we had a case a no of years ago where one of ours players used lanuage against his own teamate and got red carded fot it and this was at junior level.

Ya that's all fair enough. It's not really the case in Sligo where you can get sent off that handy.

Apparently Tipp league not travelling as St Michaels,Clonmel & Peakevilla wont release players in case of injury.The AUL have cancelled all Prem A games.Can anybody confirm this from Tipp?
Yes Tipp wont be travelling they have given a walk over.

[balls]

joke from tsdl there are other players from tsdl other than saints, celtic and peake. even if they had to pull eleven division 4 players should send them up instead of giving walkover

[Minesapint]

I wouldnt think sending up players from the lower division would be fair on them.

[republican]

balls would you not think that the 'joke' was fixing this game a week before crucial fai cup games no manager in his right mind would want to release his players. surely the aul wont want to accept the walkover will they??

[Minesapint]

balls would you not think that the 'joke' was fixing this game a week before crucial fai cup games no manager in his right mind would want to release his players. surely the aul wont want to accept the walkover will they??
Republican you cant blame the clubs , some of the clubs have never reached this far in the competition and will want to give it a right go, but i would say they Dublin Aul players that are still in the FAI wont have much interest in the Oscar trainer.

[republican]

i know minesapint im 100% with the clubs on this one.

[KUFCMan]

We in the AUL are at the same stage with 5 teams in last 16 and not one of the teams complained about playing this weekend.Sure u can get injured anytime.All Prem A games were cancelled.We wanted a game the week before we play Carrick rather than have no game and wed even a friendly organised.Sheriif YC are playing Ballymun Friday which is 1st v2nd in League.We probably will have a Liddy Cup game now which will be arranged only tonite.

[southern kid]

Lads is this actually for real? Its an absolute disgrace that any team would consider giving a walkover at a quarterfinal of a national competiton,also how stupid is the fai for organising a game an puttin players in that position.

[Minesapint]

Yes its for real and you cant blame the players for not playing on the Oscar Trainer a week before the FAI, why wasnt it fixed the week after the FAI.

[Minesapint]

The TSDL are a disgrace and the clubs involved,They should be banned from the competition for at least 5 years,If the Irish junior team were playing i will guarentee you that yere so called superstars would be turning up,limerick are in roscommon the weekend and the pike players will be turning up st michaels players should turn up because its the only way they will win a national competition,
Why are the TSDL a disgrace they didnt fix the match the week before the FAI, if the pike rovers players are stupid enough to play in a competition that really doesnt hold any value and risk the chance of missing the FAI match the following week thats there problem, well done TSDL.

[rightboy]

Because their after giving a walkover in a qf of a national competition thats why,they should be ashamed of themselves,i see you didnt answer the ? if an international was been played would the st michaels players have played in it??,and whats wrong with the rest of the clubs fulfilling the fixture?????,as i said they could be missing out on a national medal because they wont get another chance for one,ie,fai.

Who said saints players were not made available to the tsdl as far as I'm concerned your quite incorrect as per the norm , all fit and available but don't let the truth stand in the way of a good headline / story
On a serious note though they way this has ended up all sides (fai , tsdl and the aul ) should have a serious look at themselves cause in not sure were this walkover talk is coming from !

[southern kid]

I can see both sides here an it does not help with da likes of hightackle coming on here and having a pop at the st michaels boys either,its all wrong from the top down an by that i mean the fai.Why in the name of god would they fix big games so close together and that includes the limk/ross game aswell,i think that tipp should and will fulfill the fixture.If a county team was playin in all ireland in the gaa their is no way club teams would be playing big games so close to the county games. once again its the fai that lets the junior players/clubs down.Well done junior council!!!!

[prawnsandwich2]

well said....

I agree with southern kid completly. Fixing the game is ludricous but no matter what a walkover should not be given. If needs be a 2nd tsdl side should be selected to compete comprising of clonmel town, cashel, cahir, wilderness , borris and division 1-4 players. Fufill the fixture or let Cork AUL back into it. A walkover at quarter final stage does no one any favours, its almost as bad as all the appeals etc that have dogged the junior game over past 10 years

[passandmove]

Have some people lost the plot or what??There is a WEEK between the games for god sake,fair enough if it was fixed for midweek i mite have some sympathy,but a WEEK!A lads stop.....junior council take them down from the clouds and throw the book at them.

[nononsense]

Yes Tipp wont be travelling they have given a walk over.
You should check your facts before you make such a statement. Comments like that only give the likes of High Tackle etc get on their usual banter of anti-TSDL and anti-St.Michaels. To the genuine TSDL supporters let me say, as absolute fact, the TSDL have not given a walkover. The F.A.I. know that, the Dublin A.U.L. know that.
