    Lets see what Cork have to offer first, but we saw enough of this Kerry team in last years two finals to know they are a very serious oitfit.

    Talk about going out with a whimper. Such a passive performance from Roscommon.

    Mayo always improve with games. How many times have they gone through the qualifiers only to pop up in all Ireland semis and finals, narrowly losing. If they and Kerry both somehow get to an all Ireland semi, I wouldnt be as confident as some posters here. Yes kerry seem to be improving and last years finals will bring them on an awful lot but they're still lacking the tactical knowhow and maturity in big, tight games.

    That said. It's very hard to see past a Dublin win this year again. Went about their business with ease last night as usual.

    Really poor.
    Had Mayo been a bit more potent in attack, it would have been a 12+ victory.

    Meath take Wicklow for 28 points. The old myth of 'Aughrim is a hard place to go' took a bit of a battering today.

    Roscommon were a pity.

    Mayo performed well enough and a few new faces aswell.

    Only one side showed fight there.

    Mayo far superior.

    Mayo have had 2 tune up games and no injuries before a Connacht Final against Galway who have had no games.

    Galway will have to start very strong.

    Well, maybe all this time they meant "it's a hard place to get to".

    I fancy Galway to beat Mayo next week. Was not impressed with Mayo today and Galway will be nice and fresh and eager to revrrse that humiliation to Mayo a few weeks back. Joyce will have Galway primed for revenge. I will be putting my money on it too.

    Dont they have to get past Kildare or someone first? Which is by no means a foregone conclusion.

    Mayo 8/11
    Galway evens

    I'll play it safe and back Galway +1 just in case it ends a draw. Come back to me next week after full time and we'll see who's out of their mind.

    If Galway can get the quick counterattacking football they played early in the league going then Mayo are wide open for that but they seem to have gone more defensive and laboured over the summer.

    Conditions not great in Cork, wind and rain but the pitch again is in great shape.

    Have to get past (probably) Kildare first. Can't really take anything from that game. Worst Wicklow team I've ever seen against us, which is odd given they've done excellently since returning from lockdown. We should probably have been even further ahead as we butchered a number of goal chances.

    We've quite a balanced team outfield at least. Good defence and attack while Jones in midfield seems to have gone a long way to solving our problems there. Unfortunately, we still get crucified by our goalkeeper. In the league, we tended to give away a minimum of 3 or 4 points because of poor kickouts. Against Dublin where we gave a decent account of ourselves, their goal came from a disastrous kickout early on.

    If we do manage to get to a Leinster final, I'd be relatively happy if we kept the score within 5 or 6 points. If our defence could perform as it did last season while our forwards actually show up, we could possibly manage that. I suppose that's what counts as a rattle for Dublin in Leinster nowadays.

    Of course. And Galway have beaten Mayo quite a few times in recent years so their well able to do it. I just think psychologically Galway are in a good place. Bizarrely as that may sound the savage beating they took a few weeks go will guarantee a backlash. Everything went wrong that day and Galway were pretty hopeless. Pauraic Joyce came out and said it was his most embarrasing match involved with a Galway team ever. You think they won't be running through brick walls to get another crack at a team they have beaten many times? It's set up beautifully for a big Galway performance. Mayo are a good team but so too are Galway. Should be a belter.
