Rarely has a bad day, the same lad.

Good solid win again. You always feel we will react well which we did.
Matty ruane, durcan immense.
Think K McLaughlin, Boyle, COC really settled us.

Jordan Flynn has a bit of work to do, strong lad but a little head less at times.
Doyle struggled but only young.

Westmeath gave us a really tough run out.

Declan Reilly on co-com I think, not sure I’d agree with a lot of what he says

Who is that guy?

Certainly likes the sound of his own voice.

Well done to the mayo ladies .
Tough match and we’re unlucky to have two sinbins .positives were winning with 6 points down with 15 to go . Rachel kearns is some footballer . The blending in of the old and new has a bit more work to do .

On the men’s . We should have put the game out of sight but leaving 2 on 2 in the backs is always going to be a shoot out .
Overall paddy durcan was good . Some of our big guns were off pace today .
A win is a win .

The women were excellent, I thought they were dead and buried at six points down

I’d say you’d hate playing against Kearns, just nasty ala Cillian, galway taking the free at the end was a prime example, just being an out and out pest. She nearly took the net off with the penalty too

Seems like a really nice lady. She was interviewed afterwards. I wouldn't label a player nasty just because they are trying to stop the opposition taking a quick free in the last minute. I would expect any player to do the same.

I'd never heard of Rachael Kearns. Seems like a wonderful talent. Excelling at soccer too. From what I can see on the GAA, she played in goal, defense and now forwards for Mayo.

Kerry are still as bad at the back as they are good in the forwards

Can someone explain to me why the Kerry goal didn’t stand?

Ref had already blown his whistle for free in
Otherwise would have been a free out seen as he took around 10 steps

Someone on the Kerry thread saying it was because of a change to the advantage rule? What’s the change.

So the foul on the kerry lad was a free and not a black yet it was more of a goal chance than what Diarmuid was blacked and pen given. I'm at a complete loss on it.
As someone said, all the forward needs to go do is ensure they get into the run line of the defender and hook them with their arm or leg and go down at this rate. If this is club games I pity the referees.

I don't think Diarmuid should have been black carded. It was a genuine attempt to tip the ball away. He just caught the player on the hip instead.

it's a bit of a disaster of a rule alright. Makes the job of the referee even more difficult. I can see what they were trying to do with it but given how inconsistently rules are applied by refs in the same game never mind different refs in different games, it's going to be quite controversial. From what I saw in the Dubs v Kerry game, both penalties could have qualified for the black card/penalty but the ref decided not to. The Second penalty was certainly black card territory but I reckon the ref felt because he only gave a yellow the other end, he couldn't give one out on the second occasion.

Not sure why they feel the need to continually tinker with the rules each year TBH. Is it a case that they now feel they have to introduce a rule change every year?. I don't think the rules of play are near the biggest issue facing the GAA at the moment. They would be better concentrating their efforts on structures and parity.

I think thats all it is at this stage, the offensive mark is another farce the more I see of it again this year.

Watching the Galway game yesterday you can see how Shane Walsh "won" his free by pushing his leg into the Roscommon defender. So in say the connacht final that he does the same thing to one of our main lads when he is inside the 13, then the outcome could be the complete turning point of the game for us.

The main issue they haven't addressed is what we faced and again watching some of those games over the weekend is the blanket defenses.
In our game, Kerrys, Tryones, Donegals, Galways each game had more than one occurrence of all outfield players inside the half and even the 45 yr lines.
This just leads to packets of play where the balls is going back and over the pitch.

TBH I think that is the best I've seen us against blanket defenses in the last 10 years with some really good possession and long range scores.

It's being trialled in the county game this year and will only come into the club game in 2022 if the rule is kept. Really hope it gets binned asap tbh

It's best ignored. Some fairly scurrilous claims that I doubt very much have any basis in fact.
Giving plebs like that the oxygen of attention is what they want from you.

Keith Higgins OTB interview was very interesting
He wasn’t exactly glowing talking about Horans “tactics “


Also said 2017 loss was the hardest to get over which I would agree with

I think what makes 17 harder than 16 is the high of beating Kerry in the semi. That was such a huge moment. I will never forget the buzz leaving croke park that day!

The pleb seems to have moved his attention from Butler to Horan. The stories about NH are old hat at this stage.

Wasn't NH one of the three extra people in CP for the AI final? As for Horan and the money i have heard similar stuff from people i would regard as being in the know. I thought it was fairly common knowledge tbh

He sure was one of the three in the back of the van.

I've also heard same with regards to money. Just funny watching the pleb going mental on twitter thinking he is bringing us ground breaking gossip.

Good to see EOD and James carr given another chance
Half back line is “interesting “

Would it kill Horan to give another keeper some game time ? I’d Rory Byrne is needed midsummer he will have zero experience

Does anyone think a fresh manager would be a benefit . Horan took charge when we literally had no other options . Fair enough , I really hoped solan was going to move up the ranks but it was not to be . My fear is that it is the same rehash of the same not really thought out game plan with probably not as cream of the crop crew as we had 6 years ago .
I always found it intriguing when we came out the wrong end of the stick in a beating and the players were clueless as to what happened . When often it was either player positional play or overall game tactics .

My rant over .

Great to see Eoin O Donoghue in the corner and James Carr start.

Welcome to see Darren McHale,Paul Towey getting a chance to impress.

In a moment of weakness and ill judgement I had a quick look at the Twitter account...what dafuq is going on there???

It's a bit too bonkers and earnest to be a parody account....reads like a niche Mayo GAA version of Q-Anon
