Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

eastmayo

It's a disaster if true....what is already a tricky game for us.

PressRun

I mean, it seems to be all over the county at this point, so I think its true. Tbh we were always one injury away from disaster in that area. I'm guessing diarmuid will be moved into the middle but I dont know of that's sustainable.

Barlett

Yeah it’s confirmed now. Big blow, would probably move DOC to midfield & get Cillian into full forwards with McLoughlin coming back out

Hopefully Vaughan is fit
Diarmuid should be left in half forward line
He gets moved around too much
Needs a run in his own position

We are in trouble now though imo
One fully fit midfielder
And I’m not convinced Cillian will be fit this year either

naughto

Yep disaster is not the word does diamurd go back in midfield

Loafing Oaf

SOS to SOS!:P

4-8 weeks recovery time.:(

Always_Running

A big blow to lose a player is such fine form. Seamus O'Shea and Donal Vaughan will somewhat soften the blow and it looks like Cillian O'Connor will be back for the Down game.

I'd agree about Diarmuid, our forwards are better with him there. He seems to ghost in for a goal chance every game so don't want to lose that.

Might be a risk, but I'd love to see Mikey Murray get a run in midfield. He's a similar style of player to Mattie and from what I hear, has been impressing in training since he was brought in. Vaughan or Seamie would do a job there too of course.

That is a tough blow. Lad was having a great year.
If it`s a broken collar bone, 6 weeks would be the minimum I imagine.

Fr Tod Umptious

One would hope that some mix of Seamus O Shea and Vaughan would deputise for the next few weeks and hopefully get them over the qualifiers.
They are not bad lads to be stepping in, and hopefully Aiden will continue to perform well there.

The last 8 are only 4 weeks away, I doubt he would even be ready by then.

PressRun

Dont think Seamie is fit yet. When was the last time he played a competitive match? This time last year?

He played a few minutes during the league and got injured.

Anyone else hear a rumour that David Clarke has walked from the panel...hopefully rumour is all that it is..

Seems improbable if one can deduce from the junior team selected for tomorrow.


1. Micheal Schlingermann - Kiltimagh
2. Ronan Conlon - Bonniconlon
3. David Lydon - Kiltimagh
4. Barry Leonard - Lahardane
5. Barry Duffy - Balla
6. Cian Bourke - Ardnaree Sarsfields
7. Conor Igoe - Bonniconlon
8. Sean Walsh - Kiltimagh
9. TomFahey - Kilmaine(C)
10. Liam Moran - Swinford
11. Adrian Leonard - Lahardane
12. Brendan Carr - Ardagh
13. Michael McGarry - Eastern Gaels
14. Keith Hopkins - Crossmolina Deel Rovers
15. Darragh Keavney - Kilmeena

Unfortunately it's another sorry tale as the juniors lose the Connacht final.

Mayo 0-9

Galway 1-7

We badly need to turn the tide against the Tribesmen.

Galway will lose the Connacht final

Mayo will get to round 4 and draw them.

Then the tide will turn.

That's only 3 weeks to wait.

Afraid it looks unlikely, Christ this Mayo defeat looks even worse watching Roscommon in that first half.

PressRun

Roscommon very poor indeed and Galway not much better. It's a poor game. Althoigh Galway doing well to shoot accurately in those conditions.
Certainly brings into focus how bad we were.

Barlett

It seems there's another rumour doing the rounds folks today, any idea what it is?

No, I've just seen Ah Ref on twitter saying there is another rumour and someone on Mayo Gaa blog just after posting about more very worrying news today. Why would I ask if I knew?

Haven't heard anything today.

Haven't heard anything myself either. Can't see anything on ahrefs Twitter

Maybe someone got injured walking out from the panel.

Big blow, broken collar bone for one of midfielders from Breaffy who isn't an O'Shea

Ah, just jumped into the thread.

Barlett

I sound like a crazy person now, but he posted the same thing on Friday night after Ruane's injury. It's a gif of a mill... i.e. a rumour mill. Anyway I'm sure if
there's anything in it, we'll know sooner rather than later, a four week break between games is too long.

Cheers that makes sense.

I was doubting my sanity.:)

At least it will be quiet on here tonight
The lad with the big green hands can’t have too much to say after this weekend

Well deserved by the rossies. Galway embarrassing all over the pitch.
Maybe the Galway trolls from our loss will appear tonight for a chat?

We won’t like him when he is angry

PressRun

Shocking display from Galway in that second half. Did they think they only had to show up for the second half?
Have to say, I'm happy for the Rossies. At least they went out and gave it a proper rattle and they closed the game out well, even showing a bit of cuteness in the end. That system Galway are married to is going to get them nowhere.

To be fair Cunningham deserves a lot of credit for stopping the rot in Galway hurling, In the previous 5 years before he became Galway manager they reached zero AI finals. He turned a bunch of talented but flaky Galway men and molded them into a very physical hard nosed outfit. The Galway panel that won the 2017 All Ireland was basically built under the good work by Cunningham.

It beats Mayo every time!

And that seems to be the height of Galway's ambitions

Well that turned around fairly quickly didn't it.

So first part complete, Galway lose.

Now Mayo have to win round 2 and 3, so sit tight for the next few weeks until that is done.

Can we please just concentrate on Saturdays game!

Surprised they made the trip to Down a week early but no harm to acclimatise nice and early

Barlett

Hopefully this feeling of things being 'off' will disappear with a solid performance against Down.

Thats the hope. I can understand players are frustrated, but maybe we take it as positive and that their will to win is causing this.

Team selection will be interesting and Paddy Tally has the experience to put in place a system which Horan P1 and Rochford failed to breakdown.

I really think he needs to put his trust in the younger players, with the senior players on the bench who can and will have massive impacts. They subs used could be vital in the outcome.
I can't see COC playing a big part and he will be targeted from the off.

Who are the main threats from a Down perspective?

There was a team meeting/training session in Bangor yesterday.
David Clarke was present.

PressRun

I feel like the David Clarke rumour flies around every year. They'll be right some time, I suppose!

Greg Blaney. Mickey Linden. Ross Carr. Enduring names. Small boys out the back garden, branches for goalposts...

It does but the Jamie rumour beats him to it in Armagh every year.

It might even be the source, lost in translation and all that.
