Yes indeed,it will be interesting to see what happens if we get a home draw in the qualifiers...presumably it would have been fixed for next Saturday.

Possibility of a big double-header.:)

Careful what you wish for with a double header. A bunch of Galway and Roscommon people present and probably shouting against Mayo.

No probably about it.
Can't see how they can manage it, hopefully our game first, then we can leave and watch paint dry instead.

The Mayo game will be the curtain raiser no doubt about that. Out then to get the high stools before the other game finishes

Would it have killed those moochers over the road to factor in the possibility of a Connacht Final replay into their redevelopment plans??

Ah, if its Mayo v Cork we may get a few defectors:D.

I don't see the sense in announcing the venue for the Connacht final before the draw for the qualifiers is made anyway.

If its Mayo v Cork then capacity will not be a problem, unless the Cork fan decides to bring his friend.

If we get a home draw tomorrow morning we'll most likely be moved to Sunday. Connacht championship run by Connacht Council (prenty) and qualifiers is All Ireland series run by Croke Park.

cocoman

If we're drawn at home I suppose we'll be half the week waiting for throw in times!
Can't see a double header happening. For a start we'll have to pay €30 (for stand) that would normally cost €20. Also if we get Longford at home they could bring a few thousand and I think Ros v Gal will prob attract 25k anyway.

seligehgit

Anybody got a report on the minor game??From the Galway thread it appears they were only trailing by 4 points to 2 points after playing against the wind.No score for 10 minutes and then Galway hit 1-1 and never looked back....

Cavan on A side of draw. We're B.

mayo.mick

From connacht telegraph a few mins ago

The time of the throw-in will not be decided until after the tomorrow morning's draw for the next round of the All-Ireland SFC Qualifers.

In the event of Mayo being drawn at home to Cork, Longford or Kildare, the Castlebar venue could host two games next Saturday.

I'd be wary of Cork away, tbh. You just don't know which Cork team will show up.

According to the bible of Wikipedia Newbridge only has a capacity of 6200. Would it go ahead there?

I don't really mind travelling but the thought of a trip to Cork on Saturday evening isn't very appealing. It probably wouldn't be on TV either if the Connaught replay is on Saturday aswell.

Portlaoise if it's Kildale away I would imagine.

+1 on the prospect of a trip to Cork.

The thought of a trip to Newbridge is the stuff of nightmares...Poky little ground,hardly fit to accommodate such a crowd as would be expected.Nightmare for parking too.

Mayo at home to Kildare.Not a bad draw.

Nope, that will be interesting to see how Connacht Council fk this tickets setup now!

Need to push on with our 2nd half performance.

martyos121

Not the worst draw, I'll get this is nice and quick so I won't have to say it again: Barry Moran has to start.

paulie21

Probably won't be on till next weekend. Kildare are in the Leinster minor final on Sunday have to give supporters a chance to get to both

padd b1975

Happy enough with the draw.
I would put Kildare on a similar level to Fermanagh so with home advantage once again I would be optimistic of progressing.

I have grave doubts the GAA will take that into account,concern for accomodating supporters has never been a top priority.

It's all about the money would be great to get a double header but think one game on the sat and one on the Sunday

seligehgit

Probably more likely to be a double header if the Kildare minors are out on Sunday?

yop

no they will DEFINITELY have the Senior and Minor games on Sunday then at the same time. This is the GAA. Logic doesn't enter their stratosphere.
Home game now, so let Prenty Council find another field for the other 2. Or replay the handpassing final on Sunday.

Send them up to Sligo for it. It's the only logical thing to do when they want to send Connacht final teams on the hardest journey possible.

Sligo isn't big enough for a connacht final.

Kildare are a team that lost twice last year by 20+ points to teams that Mayo have gone toe to toe with.

Admittedly they have a new manager, one that worked with Mayo before, but with home advantage also I'd still expect a fully functioning Mayo to win without too much fuss.

Agreed we couldn't have got a better draw this time around

They are quite a bit off full functioning atm,hoping to see an improved performance with a win to boot.The big elephant in the room is whither this Mayo team can reach previous performance levels...

I'm still feeling fairly deflated from Saturday. Not even a decent good second half battle gives me much hope. We should handle Kildare but past that, the maximum I can see is getting close to performances of years gone by, which won't be good enough.

I just can't see any vision for the team. No real purpose. Not much has changed from last year bar deciding that McLoughlin is a sweeper and Higgins, a forward.
There's a great bunch of lads there but I've the fear and I didn't touch a drop all weekend.

One thing I forgot to mention after the game.

What is it with them continuing to give teams clear cut goal chances late it games that they are leading in.

How often has it happened in the last few years, and again on Saturday.

This team are what they are, a team that struggled in the league, lost early in the championship and are now navigating the back door.

The best they we can hope for is a return to recent form, but nothing more I don't think.
This is not a team keeping their powder dry for August, or not showing their hand till Croke Park etc.

They have no powder left to keep dry, they have no hand to show.

spurscormac

I wonder will we actually get a fixture announced today?
There'll be some stand-off all morning between Castlebar/Connacht Council & Croke Park as to who gets first call on the venue.
I suspect they'll be back to Salthill next weekend to play the replay.

Typical
Why announce a venue if its dependent on something else, i.e the qualifier draw.

A double header would work if you ask me.
