Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

Fr Tod Umptious

Mayo News reporting that Keane may still not be fit for Saturday.

With Coen or Vaughan deputising at full back.

If he is out hopefully they can get past Westmeath without a proper full back and hope he is ready for the next week.

I believe it was reporting he was the only major doubt.....

I'd be pretty concerned with either of the lads mentioned deputising at full back.We really are down to the bare bones in terms of the full back line and no likely return of Keith Higgins to said line.

PressRun

I think it'll be touch and go with Keane up until Friday probably. I'd be surprised if he plays, tbh.

reap-a-rat

Westmeath will be licking their lips at the thought of pumping ball in on top of Heslin being marked by a novice full-back.

If like me you are driving up.......

The August bank holiday is traditionally very quiet in Dublin,these roadworks will ensure extra travel time for all travelling up to Croker and the Aviva.

It was mentioned on the six one news that short hop DART and RAIL with park and ride facilities would be free to encourage the use of public transport.I'm presuming this isn't applicable to Maynooth station:pac: hardly short hop in to Drumcondra station... Nice try.. LOL.I suppose it depends on what one's definition of short hop is!

That's because half a billion of our population go home for the weekend

I wouldn't go near town if you're driving up. Going around the M50 and down Drumcondra road is the best bet.

senior, intermediate and junior clubs made it to the holy grail. Our juniors make it to the grail. will the seniors???
realistically could any junior player or intermediate have a claim on the senior team? I know I know different codes etc, but i also remember the A and b divisions and some b division teams could give the A teams a good pasting.
North south east west divisions. jesus having to go to knockmore or crossmolina or lahadarne or parke or ballyhaunis and coming away with a win was hard.

fook it i miss playing.

Iam not saying it's a good thing but kkeane is not a full back he has no football brain nor the pace and if he doesn't win the ball first time his marker will have a field day

thomond2006

Looking at the fixtures if and when we beat Westmeath we play Tyrone on the sat the 6 at 4oclock and the dubs play on the same day at 6. It will be hard get a ticket if u don't have a season one for that game. The hurling semifinal is on the Sunday the 7 th

Potentially Mayo, Tyrone, Dublin; Donegal all on the same day could be a sell out. There was 58,000 last year for QF's involving Dublin, Fermanagh, Kerry; Kildare.
I wonder will tickets go on general sale straight after Mayo Westmeath game?

10 nights in a row I hear

Bunny Colvin

No changes from the team that started against Kildare.

Unchanged team named about an hour ago.

Will the second qf be going on general sale then?

Fr Tod Umptious

Quite enough around here for the day before a match.

Probably the two week break, the expectations of a win, the bank holiday etc.

No doubt it will be all go this time tomorrow if they when and their opponents are confirmed fo the following week.

Just on the team, Vaughan again in the middle, hopefully that works out.

Yep, shortly after the match ups are confirmed.

Article in Times 3 days ago says a spokesman .... but its not in quotes ":D"

If Cork and Mayo win their Round 4B qualifiers, there will be a draw about half an hour after full-time - most likely on RTE Radio One - and tickets will be on sale by nine o’clock on Saturday night. Otherwise, since Donegal can’t meet Tyrone and Westmeath can’t meet Dublin, tickets for the quarter-finals will go on sale at full-time in the second game.

I can't wait only one sleep to go

Tickets sorted lads. Looking forward to it.

gigantic09

Hopefully its not a repeat of the last(only) time we met in the championship 2001.It was the first year of the qualifiers.Galway beat us in connacht that year as well.The game went to extra time,where we lost by a point 1-14 0-16 and featured a young Dessie Dolan.

Time to put some respectability on our atrocious qualifier record.

Some difference between the team then and now you would nearly forget there still a mature must remind myself that later when Iam roaring at keane for dropping the ball.

Are we most likely to play Dublin in the QF, if we win today?

Not necessarily. I think the result of the Cork v Donegal matters too, as Tyrone & Donegal can't play each other in the quarter finals.

naughto

Cohen for full back today iam hearing

Last parking spot gone in leixlip lads

SomethingElse

Ah yes, that's true. I just took a look at the odds and it's probably about a 90% chance of Tyrone should we overcome Westmeath.
