You'd have to say based on Sunday - if you were looking for a forward to come on with fifteen minutes to go to make an impact - Brogan would have to be in the mix, he was outstanding but also he looked really hungry - really trying to make an impact but also do the right things. O'Gara also in this category imho.

He was hungry, could have scored 1-2 if given the ball. He was livid over the Paddy Andrews point. Was a sitter right there. Deffo candidate to bring on late if scores dry up.

Will be interested to see how Con does at the weekend.

Imo himself, Howard and Mannion have improved significantly since they faced Mayo before.

Kilkenny is playing as a forward this year not hanging around the half back line and Rock is in his best form ever imo.

Costello looks good too. It's an established forward line, everyone's I speak to names the same six with, O'Gara, Brogan, Costello, McManaman , Connelly on the bench.


It's the backs that causes concern and debate

I have a strange feeling that the Munch will start, either in place of Scully or in the fullback line, he'll have a specific job to do.

Mayo look very dependent on Moran.

Anyway that's my random thoughts in it.

AOS is having a very good season, but has dodged a number of black cards so far this year and i think we've a number of options to pick him up.

ProudDUB

Ticéad collected from Dorset St.

Can relax now. Sorta !

Thanks be to God we only have 2 more days of all this phoney war shyte.

How did we ever survive all those 3 week build ups to previous Mayo encounters?

And what poor bastard had to break the news to David Brady's bank manager that he doesn't have 2 more weeks of this to go either?

ProudDUB

Tickets for sale again on Tickets.ie.

Only a 4 minute queue.

David Brady is some ginnit to be fair. I attended a pre All Ireland talk show in the Olympia two years ago and Brady told a ridiculous story of not being able to find his car which he thought was parked in a certain spot on Harcourt St the previous night. It had some valuables in it so he called the cops and ended up in the back of the squad car searching in vain for his 'robbed' car across the city in Ballybough. No sign of it and he thought it was gone and was crestfallen until when the guards dropped him back to where they first met up with him he miraculously saw his car at the opposite end of Harcourt St to where he thought he was parked. It got a good laugh but i doubt he'd reach double figures in an IQ test. Not the brightest is Brady thats fir sure.

I think Cooper isn't back to full power and forwards are getting the step on him.

Will the squads be announced this evening?

I thought it was a genuinely funny story.

He does play to the gallery a tad.

In fairness he is just a Vinnie Murphy-esque style pundit. Neither are exactly in mensa, but then again they dont need to be.

I was at that as well. Good jesus.

Jonny's class. In a mundane match in Omagh last Sunday he made one tackle late in the first half which proved to me that he is actually getting better with age. A bit like what McGrath did in the soccer, he reads the game and makes it look easy.

I know. There's jokes, and then there's just off the wall, slightly worrying, madcap craziness. Quite a disturbing little story i thought.

Vinny wouldn't do that nutty thing Brady did. That was just beyond stupid.

Never mind mensa, what Brady did should have seen him doing a wee stint in St Pats for a pyschiatric evaluation.

Why?? He parked his car. Had a feed of pints. Continued drinking into the night. Went to Coppers. Back to a house party until morning time. More drink. When he couldn't stomach any more cans, he thought he probably should get a taxi, considering the 20 pints might make him fail the auld breathalyzer.
But decided that he'd need the car to get to Croke Park. So stumbled back to Harcourt Street, but couldn't find the car. Flagged down a cop car to explain. They invited him into their car to search for his own. No good. He passed out in the back of the cop car at this stage. So they dropped him back to Harcourt. Woke him up with a few slaps across the face. He looked out the window, and lo and behold there was his car. Sweet jesus. Found his car keys in his pocket and fell out the cop car door. The sergeant advised him that maybe he should get a cup of coffee and an hours sleep before taking of driving. D Brady said "ya, of course. Wink wink, nudge, nudge" And off he sailed in the direction of Croke Park.

Thick culchie does thick culchie thing. Nothing to see here.

Same here. They're even praying to the Rain gods on the Mayo forum so lets hope its done and dusted by 17.40!!

I think we need more of the spirit of Sergeant Barry Sadler in place of all this worry warting:

Nearly exactly what happened to Dave’s van in the Royle Family. I’d say he made it up for comedic effect.

Who Is the munch?

Bonniedog

Murchan.

Chalk McHugh

The Munch is certainly no Monster. He's very small. I wouldn't feel comfortable with him in the full back line.

I fully believe it happened. I never had much time for him as a pundit before that but i never listen to him now. A spoofer and grade A clown.

He's always acquitted himself well on the big stage. A confident little player.

The few times i've seen him he's done ok. Nothing out of the ordinary. Good engine. Must be kept away from the inside line as he would be a serious cause for concern under any high ball.
