Incase anybody forgets (I almost did), window for renewal of season tickets closes next Wednesday 31st Oct.

Cheers! Forgot about it!!
Having a good coverage of home games now this year will be a good thing for people heading for the 60%.
I have the club+, got to 4 games so possibly didn't utilize it enough.

Anybody any idea when we're likely to get the fixture dates for next year's Connacht championship?

The master fixtures list is usually published around the beginning of November.

Is there much sense in needing to trial Colm Boyle,Donal Vaughan,Aidan O Shea,Brendan Harrison,Keith Higgins,Paddy Durcan,Andy Moran,David Clarke?

You'd have to wonder if Aiden O'Se had a bad trial, would he be dropped? I don't think so. However, those lads might be there as a way to judge lads coming in, i.e. See how they cope against the likes of o'se as that's the standard they will be up against at IC level

Might be no harm to give him a kick up the backside :eek:

And let him know he is not picking the team from now on only kidding ( i think )

To see how the actual lads on trial fare against thkthe I guess
Let’s the bee backroom team get to know them
Probably helps build a bit more squad spirit too

It’s great to see this happen so early . We have a might run at the year next year ........

Yes I'm guessing he was looking to select six fairly evenly matched teams to facilitate proper competitive games. And it would be more difficult to balance if it was all newbies or fringe players...

Were the trials an open invitation?

I think clubs had an opportunity to nominate players to go forward.

Long retired due to chocolate joints! I'm actually waiting on the call for the final selectors job

The big names are probably just lads still based around Mayo and who are free on the day to give a bit of balance to the trials, and - as others have said - provide a standard to measure others against. They're not actually on trial themselves

Its a good idea

Absolutely, they've much more important things to worry about at present

Horan will know them all anyway as its his home club

With that level of comfort comes complacency though. Should all be on trial.

Kevin McLoughlins stag was on I think so that would have taken a nice few away. Lee Keegan was on about it in some interview that he was disappointed to be missing the trials.

The Queens of appeal are at it again.
Carnacons Fiona McHale and Doreann Hughes both got reds in the semi final vs Moy Davitts.
McHale for an elbow into the face of a Moy Davitts player and Hughes for swearing at an official.
Both received the minimum 1 month ban by Mayo co.board.
Hughes isn't contesting the suspension but McHale is and made an appeal to the Co. Board on Friday which was turned down.
She's now going to Connacht LGFA to have her suspension overturned in time for Saturdays Connacht Final.

Is Cillian Finn Johns son? McMenamin any relation to Colm?

Colms nephew, Johns son. Fine player, nerves got better of him in Intermediate final but still scored a fine point from close to the touchline. He has plenty ability, hope he does well

The Connacht LGFA are as big a joke as Carnacon. Blatantly go to hurt someone and then get your ban overturned...some setup.

The GAA is a joke with discipline, sure see all the stuff going on at clubs.
I suppose at least they are consistent.

They need to ban some clubs out of championship and uphold the bans for players, even increase them where the appeal is lost to stop all this sh1t

It`s a real mystery why there is such a shortage of GAA referees countrywide :rolleyes:

They need a rugby style system for disciple issues.

Can't make the game in Enniscrone tomorrow,presumably it'll be on MWR.

Hopefully Ballintubber will get over the line.

Ballintubber 3-1 up at half-time. Sounds like a cracker.:rolleyes:

And Tubber won 6-5 in the end

By the sounds of it they scrapped over the line.Nigel Reape called it a harsh red card?

The next one should be handy enough for them you would imagine with Clann and Corofin in the other semi, but to beat the winner of that one they would need to step it up a lot from today`s performance going by reports

It was a dour game. Tourlestrane put 13 men behind the ball for most of the game but it has to be said Ballintubber did the same for periods too. I lost count of the number of turnovers. Tubbers kicking in the first half was poor with at least 5 wides. Tourlestrane made better use of the strong wind in the second half. Sending off was harsh and deserved a yellow. Ref was very poor. Didn't let any kind of over eager contact go without blowing for a free which made a bad game worse. Gave Dillon a yellow for a high tackle and didn't even check a Tourlestrane man 2 mins later for the same thing. Something tells me next week will be the same in terms of tactics.

Always_Running

Get of out jail card already used in the Connacht championship by Tubber, not often you win many if any provincial championship games by scoring just 0-6 (0-1 from play)

My Dad, who's been following football for over 60 years, says it was probably the worst game he ever saw. And he expects Tubber's next game to be even worse...

I'd expect Corofin to make bits of them to be honest

Corofin need to beat Clann na nGael first and their scoring in the two Galway finals v Mountbellew/Moylough wasn't very high either.

Mountbellew/Moylough set up very defensively in both games but in the replay Corofin had figured out a way to negate that. I`m not sure Clann na Gael could even replicate that style if they try, or if from what Corofin learned from the replay, it would work.

Tourlestrane and Mountbellew setup in the same way against their respective teams. If Tubber and Corofin meet I can't see it being a defensive game so for me while Corofin would win it, it won't be a hammering as you suggest.

Ian Burke is also out injured for Corofin. Won't play in the semi final and probably the final as well if they get there. That said they are better set up than most to cope.

if its a Corofin Tubber final i'd be surprised if Tubber aren't defensive in their tactics/game plan. Corofin from what i see only hammer poorly organized teams.

If it is and Corofin and Tubber go for a shoot out then I would rate their chances as poor.They will need to keep it tight at the back, but to do over-so will only draw Corofin on them.

Clann on the other hand I believe haven`t any other option but to attempt to shoot it out with their team set up. Plus the fact that if the Div 2 league final and the Super 8`s showed anything it`s that Roscommon as a county are very short on decent defenders.

McStay rarely set Roscommon up with defence in mind though any time he did they produced their best results. From what i understand Clann will be missing 3 key defenders for that Corofin game which won't help their chances of causing an upset.

At the request of the Mayo LGFA delegates,Peter Leahy was given a two year extention to his contract which now ends in 2021.
Leahy was in attendance at last night's meeting where he gave a talk on plans for the future and also spoke about the group who left the panel.

Well done to the delegates for backing him.
