Eoin O’D obviously isn’t going great in training. Horan has rewarded plenty of new players with game time this year so he isn’t afraid to Drop Some of the older crew.
Horan isn’t not going to play Eoin for the fun of it if he is flying in training. We are all basing his claim for a starting place based on last years performances.

That's not how it works though - every manager will have their favourites and will always inexplicably leave out a player or two that no-one else would. It's human nature

Not saying that's the case with EOD but it would be a bit naive to think Horan may not be susceptible to it also.

In any case to be frank about it team selections (well more in game decisions) probably cost him an all Ireland in his first tenure. But these things happen

or a red/black card...

Think that's a bit harsh, he's obviously not proud of what happened in 2017 and it'll always stick with him, but all in all I think he's been the most underrated player of this generation.

I'll never warm to his decision to transfer club but on the pitch for mayo I'm a huge fan

Sorry yes just throwing in a glib comment, his overall disciplinary record is okay. Although I would be concerned about somebody throwing a wobbly in a tense game this evening, it's happened a few times over this team's history...

Boland and Mikey Murray gone completely.

km79

Strong bench
Very strong
Keegan on it as expected

Boland prob unlucky. I would have him ahead of Regan. Loftus too but for frees

They're obviously not in the match day squad.

NabyLadistheman

Very harsh on Boland

km79

Mikey Murray is not ready for this summer
Credit to Horan for trying him
And credit to him for recognizing this too

Boland is unlucky

I parked there for limerick game last year and was grand
But we are all coming the one direction today
How many will travel from Galway is another story. The fact Irish rail didn’t even put on a train home suggests not many !

If ye can get parking on the old cratloe Rd close to LIT or one of the estate around there you could skip all the traffic around coonagh on the way there and back . Taking the old cratloe road to Cratloe Cross you can hop on the n18 from there. Short walk to gaelic grounds also.

Very damp and miserable down here at the moment, just a few k's outside the city now. Hopefully it brightens up a little

Being used out of position is not being found out. He plays corner back/man marker for Ballaghdereen.

No point having him at all if not starting. You couldnt put him on as a sub and hope you wouldn't have to sub him 10mins later.

Loafing Oaf

Carr and Vaughan starting instead of Treacy and Plunkett

Wow, what a start. Co commentator on sky seems to be clueless, hard to listen too

Cosmo Kramer

Galway keeper looks like a club standard player out of his depth at county level. Need to work him at every opportunity.

PARlance

Wasn't expecting that! Great start but slowing it up too much when ahead as usual.

Someone needs to tell Boyle not to kick the ball.

jr86

Should be out of sight, but delighted so far

Hopefully see out the deal

What a player cillian O'Connor is

Loafing Oaf

Clarke saves the day!:D

Kristopherus

Great save !!!

Everyone in Mayo owes James Carr a pint when he gets home tonight.

Nobody else would have scored that 2nd goal. He was on a mission. And without the 6 point Lead, Galway would have overtaken you in the 2nd half.

Cosmo Kramer

Good win but disappointed with that second half. Considering Liam Silke was like an extra man for us and the Galway keeper looked like some randomer they'd picked up on the side of the road on the way down we really should have been more comfortable there.

Still, a win is a win.

They probably wouldn't have though, we had enough to keep them at arms reach, despite trying to shot ourselves in the foot.

Fantastic goal.

PARlance

Regan going for a hail Mary 2 minutes into injury time at 6 points up. He'll never learn, a liability to be bringing on.

Andy must be really out of form if his experience is being overlooked to help close out a game like that.

Nice to be in the Super 8's. Delighted for the likes of Stephen Coen and Vaugha, solid performances when we needed them.

jr86

Well it's about time!!

Full back line and full forward line outstanding. Clarke immense. CoC my MOTM

Should have won by a lot more though but all about the result. Serious momentum now going into super 8s

Up mayo!

When the penalty was given everyone around me knew Clarke would save it
When Regan got the ball in the corner when the game was won everyone around me knew what he would do
Total liability
Offers nothing but that off the bench
A bench we were VERY slow to use again

But a win is a win
It will be quiet on here tonight anyway
Up mayo

You don’t know that, no one knows what would have happened

That was brain fart stuff from Regan alright .:eek:

Barlett

Mayo moved up a level today & the same flat Galway from the Connaught final appeared . Good to win anyway , it was coming sooner or later & in truth they were outplayed in most positions. The three point win flattered them , heard a few saying they can take a lot from that but no more so than our losses by ‘only’ three/ one point in previous outings against them , a loss is a loss .

Panrich

Well as championship debuts go, Carr had a good one. Add that to a league debut at Croke Park against Kerry where he scored points off both feet, he looks like good prospect. When you add in that he comes from a junior club, it makes it all the more incredible. It looks like we've found a gem here.

Jasus your a hard man to please. It was as comfortable a win as your likely to see against Galway. It was like the Mayo of old.The late goal put a gloss on the scoreline.Coen has been some find, along with Mcdonagh and Carr. Killarney will be hopping next weekend.

km79

Darren Coen is what we have missed in Croker
A long range scorer to beat the blanket
It’s what the dubs do so well
They work it in a scoring zone for a shooter
It also frees up Cillain now that we have another target

He has become a hugely important player for us and there is definitely a tinge of regret that he wasn’t in the squad last few years

jr86

Stephen Coen had his best game for mayo too.

Immense improvement from last week

Darren Coen looks absolute top class

I'd be very confident of qualifying in super 8s

Carol25

Well done Mayo on a great win. What a way to come into this match, all guns blazing on the back of two qualifier matches. My only concern for Kerry next week are Higgins and Boyle, as both are the wrong side of 30, they both played immensely but should they not be substituted later in the game to close it out...or are there options on the bench for that.

km79

I can confirm trying to get out na pairaisgh is proving quite difficult !

They were 2 of the last lads I’d have changed tonight
Boyler is playing himself into all star territory

Part and parcel of being a Mayo fan I suppose. There is an easier way to making the Super 8s!!
