Seems very short around midfield.

Still a little bit surprised he's let Gibbons go really

I know he never really hit massive heights at inter county level to date but he's still only 30 this year and had a great club campaign last year. Surely he's worth a spot as cover at least.

I don't really know the ins and outs of Parsons recovery but surely its a bit much to expect him to play any sort of significant role this year. SOS has been struggling with injury a while now also

If i remember rightly he had numerous chances in the league and failed to impress or contribute to the games in any of them? I'm not surprised he is gone from what I seen.

He had one very solid league campaign - 2012 or 2013 but never really pushed on after that. He has undoubted ability but hasn't shown it nearly enough in the Mayo jersey.

Agreed on this. I think he got a game or 2 this year and gave the ball away cheaply enough on a couple of occasions. That wouldn’t do at inter county level.

Not this year - he only made one appearance from what I remember.

Fair enough, was it a full half against Monaghan? I don't think he done much right either way. Carr on the other hand got similar time but made a decent impact.

No chance it will be streamed there. Just a spam site getting you to download crap onto your computer.

Correct
Because the game is not actually live anywhere, it's not even on GAA Go, then there is no actual place from it to be streamed from.

Just heard on RTÉ Saturday sport that Cora Staunton has broken both her tibia and fibula in her right leg playing in Australia.

It's all over for her then so

finisklin

She could recover if the medical plan is good and d3pending on the type of breaks. Plus a comprehensive rehab program if she is committed to it could work.

I wouldn't bet on her career ending yet. She's a doughty warrior...

Fionn macdonagh named at 10 instead of Evan Regan in programme which would make more sense

PressRun

Any notable names on the New York team? I seem to remember they had Jamie Clarke last year or the year before?

Think Cathal Compton who played for the Rossies against them last year is probably their biggest name. Daniel Flynn had been training with them before he opted to go back to Kildare.

Yikes it's absolutely spilling down here in the Big Apple.:(

Unfortunately the forecast was for same.

Stoner

Enjoy the day Seligehgit, I'm jealous. Would love such a good reason to go to New York

franklyon

Plain sailing so far. Might as well give a few of the fringe players a run at this stage

Mayo -17 at 10/11 looked a great bet and proving to be

Worth the journey. 25k a table of 10 at a fundraising dinner and 350 at it so 35 tables. 875k and thats only one fundraiser.

blowitupref

Expected easy win for Mayo (i predicted a 20 point win) margin would be far greater if Mayo weren't so wasteful. New York never trouble Mayo in the Connacht championship and they don't even seem to prepare for these Mayo matches in the same way as they would for more winnable games e.g Leitrim last year.

Agreed.

Game won in the first half but New York were pretty dire.

Fantastic news I've heard they raised around a million big ones in total.

Wins a win. Good to see the young lads get a run out. No injuries.
Wide count and shot selection poor.
Plenty to work out. Great support out there, mad as brushes but a great laugh.

Are they declaring it at customs.

Good point. Wouldn't want James Horan or Lee Keegan to be arrested for being a money laundering drug dealer when they fly back into Dublin Airport, now would we....whistles innnocently.....:p

Wasn't there drama between Horan and the County Board/Connacht Council the last time they brought the biscuit tin to Noo Yawk, or am I mixing them up with Galway?

Galway GAA use the boot of a car They will be bringing the pound back after Sundays win in London.
Its a lot of cash to raise. The weeks training came over there has to be paid for I suppose!

Wasn't it a case the biscuit tin went missing or was left behind.

A few USA biscuit tins went 'missing'

So the big question is did everybody get in?:D

Anybody hear rumours that the annual trip to the Big Apple may be coming to an end?

It would be a terrible shame.

Very excited if rumours of a new sponsor into the future are true.

That was just to get a commercial director or something similar up and running. About 10k if I remember correctly. He is from Castlebar.

https://themayonews.podomatic.com/enclosure/2019-05-05T18_42_00-07_00.mp3

The Mayo fans who descended on Gaelic Park in their thousands may not have been able to dodge the rain but James Horan's team made short work of avoiding any threat of a shock result in their Connacht championship quarter final tie against New York.

Mayo cantered to a 21 point win in the Bronx and the Mayo News football podcast was there to catch the action and to hear from several of those who were there to witness it.

In this episode of the podcast, we join host Rob Murphy and Mayo News sports editor Mike Finnerty as they make their way on the train towards Gaelic Park for the match.

Once there, Rob catches up with soccer legend and uber Mayo supporter Kevin Kilbane as well as with ex Mayo star and RTE pundit John Casey.Rob also chats with Padraig Durcan,proud father of Paddy,who was Mayo's captain for the day,and with Mayo fan Jim Zoldy.

At half-time Mike gets the thoughts of James O Connell and Andy Hanley, brother of Pearse and Cian,and after the final whistle has sounded Rob gets post match quotes from Paddy Durcan and James Horan.Mike catches up after the game with New York player and Lahardane native Matthew Queenan,while Rob gets the post-match thoughts of RTE co commentator and New York GAA stalwart Pat Donoghue.

glack

Some weekend-feeling the pressure at work today I won’t lie!!!

If anyone was considering going in 5 years I’d highly recommend it. Mayo people everywhere you looked. Kept randomly bumping in to people I knew but didn’t know they were going. Pity the weather put a major damper on the atmosphere in Gaelic Park but the rest of the weekend was brilliant. Had the best craic!

It will be for my 50th, Ill be goin unless I'm dead!

Can't believe the amount of negative feedback Mayo fans have got all over media and social media.
As I said to a friend who hates Mayo GAA, "You sing the fields of athenry for a soccer club in another country who doesn't pay your dole and the feckin fields isn't even in Mayo"

Looked mighty, getting the reports of "I'm too old for this sh9t9e"

The reaction was begrudgery at its finest, at least Mayo people weren't doing the 'look how sound the Irish are' videos from the trip abroad :rolleyes:

Not really us. We can't really tell the difference between you so as to target a particular group.

I've noticed that a lot of your provincial neighbors complain about Mayo fans.

Most likely due to all the finals you get to, it's to be expected.

Empty barrels make the most noise. As you say the real Football fans enjoy the Football, but social media seems to be a magnet for a particular set of small minded, mean spirited, spiteful begrudgers.
They’re best ignored, as giving them attention is giving them that which they so desperately crave, which says more about them than about anyone else.
