Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

Don't think the weather is meant to be great for the match. Might turn into a bit of a slog. Could be a low scoring affair.

On a positive note, it can't be any worse than the League meeting.

The forecast isnt bad at all, might be a few light showers beforehand but thats about the worst of it

Kehoes generally always show GAA in my experience, regardless of what else is on. You'll do well to see the full game properly though, as its busy on saturday evenings at this time of year and the tvs are small out the front

Sinnotts will show it somewhere but may have a big crowd in for Rugby. Its a bit depressing in there on a summer's evening though

Surely the Portbello will be showing the game?

Where are you seeing this? No site I've looked at shows bad weather at all.

It would but it's a fair bit outside the City Centre. There'll be no shortage of pubs showing it I'm sure, it may be best to head a little outside of town to get a better atmosphere.

Here is that Brogan goal, just for old times sake

Still the greatest GAA goal of all time.

It's not even the best goal in his own family.

Bit of drizzle/light rain at most and that would be unlucky. its dry for weeks here in Castlebar, ground rock hard. Mayo win by 5 or 6 points IMO. Now back to the weather forum for me. Enjoy the game all.

Just what I heard from someone else admittedly. I've been out of the country the last while so haven't seen what it's like.

Any decent pub recommendations to watch the match in Dublin City centre on Saturday ?

Mayes on Dorset street will probably show it as there is a Rossie connection there

The two corner backs the only two players in their 30s starting there?

During the winter I felt Mayo would still have to potentially rely on old stagers for 2019 but its great to see new players emerging - and in central positions too.

1-9 is as good as what's around in those positions - ok Plunkett is raw yet but its a big confidence vote to see him starting ahead of Boyle.

Still think the forwards look bare without COC, but given what's available its probably the best selection Mayo have. Regan has had an up and down Mayo career to date but he's bringing in some good form, and he's probably the best free-taker without COC.

Its counting a few chickens but I was looking at the train for the Connacht final. Last train fron Galway to Dublin is 6pm which is tight. Does anyone know from experience if they might put on a later one for the match?

Doubt they would, Citylink bus runs every hour up until 21:15 on Sundays as a fall back.

Pain in the hole, cans arent nearly as enjoyable on a bus.

Can't agree with that.He's blows very hot and cold and is largely a right sided free taker.

Kevin Mc simply shouldn't be burdened with a task he's clearly less than comfortable with.

Jason Doherty historically was a very good option when Cillian O Connor want available.His level of consistency has declined but he'd still be the man I'd be most happy to see taking frees in the absence of Cillian.

I still recall a couple of high pressure frees he nailed in the 2017 semi final replay.

If they beat Galway in a Connacht final, you won't mind if you're in the boot of a car!! (and as long as you have the cans).

How are you going to cope on Saturday night?:D

yop

Billy Joe highlighted the number of goals chances we gave up during the league last night, that could be vital on Sat night, goals win games.
But he expects the bench will be the key and expect us to pull away in the last quarter.
Rossies were unlucky to get relegated so I see a big challenge ahead of us with a few new additions in that Rossie team since last year.

Ill take a couple of points win to take to us to Salthill. Need a big game from Robbie, Aidan and Diarmuid.

Brilliant first half from our minors.....mayo 4 08 Ross 3......

Their movement, kick passing and speed is something to behold. The Rossies looked very unfit.

Full time Mayo 4-14 Roscommon 0-5

I’m apprehensive about tomorrow’s game
Hoping for a 5/6 point win
With no injuries or suspensions.......

No James Carr on bench ?

Sky arena is it?

And Main Event

Mantis Toboggan

Hennelly is a liability in the goal.

Kristopherus

Woeful defending by Mayo for both goals.

threeball

Brutal stuff so far. No pace, bad defending, very poor mayo shooting. Mayo playing without urgency are a very ordinary team.

Kristopherus

Mayo lucky to be only 2 points down at the break. All to do in 2nd half, and a nasty drizzle to contend with as well.

km79

Horan Ball in full effect
Shambolic defensively
Please just put Clarke back in goal as well
Does my nut in

Mantis Toboggan

They drag hennelly up for the frees despite him being really poor from placed balls, surely they'd have some forward capable of putting the ball over.

Doherty not much better.

That wasn’t a free, justice. Congrats ��

Should have left it to Loftus.

There were lots more that he let go. Well done Rossies.

Poor from mayo to not have anyone to score a free, came back to bite them in the end. Still fancy them to get to the super 8s.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer

Dire stuff.

Blackjack

Can’t argue with that result. Too many wides again, but a number of our lads just not at it today.
Well done to Roscommon, they took their chances when they got them.

Diabhal Beag

Ye'll get a soft draw in qualifiers but that was a fierce poor effort. I still reckon ye get Super 8.

franklyon

Bring back David Clarke. Yet again Hennelly costs us the game between the goal mess up and missed 45's.
Darren coen and AoS good game. Too many others having an off day.

TCM

Up the Rossies.
