Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

Fr Tod Umptious

The first person to suggest that the last time Leicester City won the league was 1951 gets a slap from me.

Tottenham won it that year, you're backing the wrong team! :pac:

OK, maybe there is something in it.

Come on you spurs

Should you not be asking the Rossie's permission to reference Leicester City? A month ago, they were convinced they were the "fairytale, feel good factor" story of the year.

They have all disappeared off boards since then
But we are well used to that, wait for a few weeks and they will be back when the "Tar is melting and the ice cream is melting"

I wish I shared your optimism regarding the weather forecast. Doesn't seem very realistic today.

Mike Solan hopeful that he'll have a fully fit squad for the U21 final, which is good news. The full-back who went off injured in the semi-final is expected to be back for the match. How many expected to head down to Ennis? Sadly the timing couldn't be worse for me, so I won't be able to make it.

Heading down to it for sure. An AI is at stake. Never mind the good it would do for the county but the confidence and most importantly the self belief it will bring to this young team will be colossal.

Fr Tod Umptious

Really disappointed that I can't make it.

On the 10th anniversary of the last great triumph at U21 and all, same opposition, same venue.

Same result hopefully.

Yes, a win here would be very significant going forward as many of the guys involved would be minors from 2013.
That sort of experience in Mayo has been a rare commodity for decades, hopefully they can win it.

Might see you there!;-) I'd be expecting a very big crowd to head down,there's an All Ireland at stake and this crop of potentially very special players have a record of success and are Mayo's future.In addition it's a bank holiday weekend which is likely to bump the numbers up.The traffic is likely to be brutal,I've never been to Ennis before.I've been told by a Banner man that the parking is not too easy to come by.

I missed out on the 2006 win,TG4 was my saviour that day.I can't imagine there will be a very large crowd travelling from the Rebel county?It's going to take a monumental effort for the lads to get over the line,Cork have a very decent team.They've beaten a highly regarded Kerry team and Monaghan.Young Hurley is going to require special attention.

mayo.mick

Hope to make it down myself, will be a long day with some MAyo day tidy towns duties in morning!

I see brehaney putting the boot into Mayo again,

I think they're going to have to find another gear too. Dozing off midmatch isn't going to cut it. I think Cork are where they fully expected to be in this competition.

Ennis is a great spot I saw Clare play there a couple of times in the early 90s .

I was at the 1992 munster final when they beat Kerry we were on the sideline, I think it was in limerick. I've never been on the sideline watching a game before or since. That was a great day.

When is the team being named?

Stoner

Good luck tomorrow lads, is it really Mayo day tomorrow. Just heard it on newstalk .

They don't tend to name the Mayo team at this grade until match day from what I've observed over the years.

Two fast goals. Cork have half time to recover

I think you have it now

How was that not a red for the cork no 8 player ??

A very bad wide for Mayo, could cost us.... and now another.

We have the Cork goalkeeper to thank, finally luck on our side.:) WooHooooooooooooo

Stoner

Great finish well done
Went flat at midfield for a bit and Cork came back. Cork lads well able to turn the ball over , but all joking aside, goals win games, well done

ProudDUB

Well done you lot.

All together now... Kamp-Eeh-Oh-Nays, Kamp-Eeh-Oh-Nays....Ole, Ole, Ole....

Feel sorry for the Cork goalkeeper, nice to win one for a change and great for the young lads to get that winning mentality, 9 of the team today were involved in the last minor win.

Kristopherus

Muigheo Abu.

Well done Maigh Eo! Repeat in September if possible.

Fr Tod Umptious

Brilliant to win that.

Game itself was tough watching with all the bad wides and Cork coming back, but it worked out in the end.

Great experience for these lads to have two All Ireland's.

On paper at least the medium to long term future looks good for Mayo football.

How many of the panel would have minor medals from 2013 I wonder?

Nine i think.

Several players underage again next year too

Akram Ruane Cunniffe Reape Duffy Flanagan O Donaghue and Carr Conlon Byrne too

Someones updated the Wiki page already! Joint 3rd in the roll of honour with 5 titles, and the last one with the U-20 code starting next year.

EDIT: correction, one more left. U-20 starting in 2018.

****ing fantastic win.

happyoutscan

Great news to come home to. Blast work.

lukin

Corkman here,well done to Mayo but our goalkeeper had a bit of a meltdown the poor fella.

cocoman

Not long home.
Fantastic win. Delighted for all involved.
There was a huge support for Mayo as usual.
There'll be some craic in Solans Ballagh tonight

seligehgit

Marvellous win,these final victories are ever so precious given our awful final record.Great to see a bunch of Mayo players with such a track record of winning.Without doubt it lifts the morale in this football crazy county.

I hope the lads have a great night celebrating,they truly deserve it.Hopefully it is an achievement that the seniors can emulate come September.Carpe Diem.

km79

wonderful evening
great to see so many kids there and being able to meet players,hold trophy and play some football on the pitch after
that's what makes the GAA special and does more to get future generations playing than anything else
Delighted with the win

Audioslaven

Super win. These guys show a real desire to win and just will not accept defeat.... very inspiring and hope it is the start of a special year

themandan6611

a few prayers said for that win, especially for the ref who gratefully gave them the odd free or 12 in the semi

MayoForSam

Yipee yapee and yahooey, well done lads

megadodge

From a Roscommon man - well done Mayo!

This group of players have shown an ability to take a chance when it presents itself. That's the type of mentality Mayo need if they want to win Sam.

From our perspective there's gonna be a lot of 'if only' in the next few days.
