No Diarmuid O Connor! In trouble boys!

On a happier note, with the result of the qualifier just now, if we beat Westmeath today we'll definitely be playing Tyrone in the quarters and into the softer side of the draw.

Dead leg, according to the commentator before the game.

Making hard work of it a la Mayo. Wait till we meet the big boys.. If we hang on today.

Two points since half time. Shocking stuff

happyoutscan

We are brutal this 2nd half. Absolutely brutal.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

This is a nightmare.

No trolling but I'd nearly rather go out today. Tyrone will tear us asunder. Playing well for 15 minutes won't save us.

Well that wasn't great but does it make any odds? Tyrone game hardly going to follow that pattern...

Yip. Apparently there's widespread depression in Mick Byrnes pub in Castlebar at the moment.

He probably deserves to keep his place.
Evan Regan would be the one most vulnerable to lose outI feel.
He really didn't show enough today against what is essentially a division four outfit now.

Sorry, Jason.

Think yis are being too harsh lads. This team have a proven record of producing in the latter stages of the championship. I wouldn't be quick to discard that.

Also, Tyrone haven't answered any questions yet when it comes to playing the big boys. They mentally didn't have it last year against Kerry. They still have to prove thats changed.

Terrible display by Mayo,from a neutral's point of view

Your not a Mayo fan, looking at all your posts I'd say your just trolling it.

They wont have to answer them next week either as there are not playing one of the "big boys".

5th quarter final in a row, going for a 5th semi final in a row, 5 Connacht titles in 6 years and in Division 1 for 19 years. Think that qualifies as a "big boy" you fool.

JOB DONE ! That's it . I have no worries that they will be switched on full!y next Saturday. Back where they want to be. Today was flat for everyone . It was just a game to get over and done with. End of story.
Hopefully Keegan's not injured and Diarmuid is back.
I thought Cillian looked MUCH fitter today but still oddly short of confidence . Midfield was better. and as much as I have been against it the extra games have helped the Mcloughlin/Higgins switch. Thought Higgins looked more comfortable today!
And a word for 2 stalwarts who have come to the fore.......Andy Moran first. He has given us a focal point and leadership in the forward line .
And Donie Vaughan ! He has taken a lot of unwarranted stick in my opinion the past few years. He kept his head down and has come back in and been excellent in my opinion . He makes brilliant energetic runs that we have lacked all year. Doesnt always gets the ball but makes space.
I think his "unorthodox " running style makes him a bit of an easy target for some "Championship " fans but I'm delighted to see him back doing his bit for the team. Even if he doesn't start he will provide a massive option off the bench.
And speaking of the bench........I think that's what will beat Tyrone for us !
And I believe we will win it
UP MAYO

Tyrone have won 3 All Ireland's since 2003... they're hardly the minnows of gaelic football..

Tyrone didn't have forwards last year. Not did they seem to believe that they could open Kerry up so easily.

Mayo's second half today was worrying.

As someone else said here this evening, all well and good taking your foot off the gas, but you have to know when and how to out it back on. It's hard to know if WH weren't so wasteful would Mayo have been as lackadaisical.

I think you may have misconstrued him,he was implying Mayo were not one of the big boys.

I am afraid I think we will reach the end of the road next Saturday.I will as always be there to support the lads and keep the faith but the form guide is only pointing in one direction.Our second half performance was pretty shocking.

We were coasting at 2-10 to 0-4 and seemed to take the foot of the pedal for the remainder of the contest irrespective of the spurned goal chances and shots of the posts.The usual collective switching off.

Diarmuid O Connor was sorely missed,I can't understand why Tom Parsons failed to start and was introduced with a three minutes to go? Barry Moran and Conor O Shea made big impacts.

It was mentioned to me that the team are not worried about killing teams off whence the game is over as a contest.That sort of mentality worries me greatly.Today it damn near cost us the game.Too many key players off colour including Cillian O Connor,Aidan O Shea was pretty anonymous today.

A Mayo team of the past in it's full pomp and glory,I'd be confident of beating Tyrone.The current version,I'd be very pessimistic.We've a decent record against Tyrone,the lads are well capable of winning this contest but the question remains do they want it enough?

livelife

There is a big game left in Mayo yet. Even if we had lost today, it would be bitterly disappointing but we'd come back again next year and support our team. It's great to be still in it! COME ON MAYO!!!

Stoner

I think he's handy. Thought Vaughan was very mobile and helped the attack better than Parsons has. It was good to see him get some time though, he's valuable. If everyone was fit I think SOS, B Moran and Parsons are the midfield, Vaughan into the half-forward line for me all imo being an outsider and all. That was a nice starting forward line today though, a bit of balance to it.
AOS wasn't very productive IMO. Great work on the turn over to set up his goal though.
I thought Keane looked shaky at 3 but he was marking one of the best.
Thought keegan was quiet too. It was a funny game. For 60 minutes I thought Mayo had another gear to go up, but for the last 10 minutes I thought they'd forgotten how to shift into it.
One question for me would be should you start Andy Moran or not. He was great in the first half imo strong, fast hands and mind, then faded out. Twenty minutes to go and it was crying out for an impact sub. Dillon didn't cut it for me , Andy gives a great lift and can make a goal and score a couple of points in the dying 10 minutes. He might be the Mayo Kevin McManamon.
I think I'd hold onto him for the last 20 minutes that's typically 26 minutes these days and plenty of time to get the most out if him and the momentum he brings .

I know Mayo didn't rock the GAA world today, but I'd expect that maybe that was Keegan and AOSs bad game out of the way. B Moran must be pushing to start and Andy looks set to continue his best form in a couple of years.

Didn't o'connor score 3 points from play? Thought yesterday was one of his better displays this year so perhaps a tad harsh to say he was off colour.

Fr Tod Umptious

All this talk of getting their bad game out of them, taking the foot off the gas, a win is a win, being where they need to be etc etc is worrying.

Hopefully all the above is true, but it rarely is.

No problem with them going in as underdogs v Tyrone, they are the most over rated team in the country, not saying that there not good, but they have much to.prove yet.

Even though I did not see the game I listened to it and they said that Westmeath went man to man in the 2nd half.

So if Mayo struggled with man to man they can take some solace in the knowledge that Tyrone are possibly the last team that will go man to man with anyone.

One thing seligehgit you wont be 12 points up against Tyrone like that so I wouldn't worry about collectively switching off at all.
