Mayo GAA Discussion

Poor performance

Usually I think well they'll brush that off but you need some form to mount a challenge. Long time since I've felt this pessimistic about Mayo.

Very few positives but a win is a win. Delighted for Darren, on a day when everyone seemed to be throwing poor passes, either short or directly to a Kildare man, Darren held onto it smartly while at the same time looking to go forward.

No doubt we need to be on the Derry/Galway side of the draw

defibrillator put away for another 2 weeks .

-1) nobody’s pointing out that Kildare were gassed at 62 mins onwards . The recurring injuries Kildare were simulatingwere just trying to slow things up . If Kildare were capable of 80 mins we would have lost .

-) we upped the ante but it ( from horan speech) was the players( Ohora etc) decided to play out of position in order to force the game . The worrying thing there was who was making the decisions .

positives and I’m clutching here . Injured players coming back are getting more and more game time .

ive said enough already . The team are utterly running off the bat I’m terms of planned outcomes in games .

Derry is probably the best draw since we can't get Galway.

This is the lad that wants to get involved with Mayo football

Pity others would not just ignore him around here and stop posting what he says on other platforms.

The reason I've posted them is to highlight what type of a fella this lad is, in case there was any doubt that the county board made the right decision in telling him to f**k off

We're on borrowed time tbh. The win is putting a gloss on an absolutely abysmal team performance. Horan doesn't know what his best team is and playing key players out of position is a huge problem now - Oisin Mullin is not a full back. Full stop. He would have been better going to Australia than stay here and have to play in this ludicrous situation.

Matthew Ruane needs to find some form asap. Another stinker from him yesterday. He hasn't had a good game since the Dublin match last year. How Conor Loftus stayed on the pitch, I do not know - his management of the basic skills were woeful.

Only for Kildare's inaccuracy and terrible game management did we stay in it yesterday. A better team would have had us on the bus back home by half time time.

Our S&C probably was a huge factor in winning the game yesterday would you agree?

Id agree with a lot of that, we are on borrowed time, whether that runs out at the QF, SF or Final all depends on the opposition.

And I think we need not worry too much about Horan playing players out of position, because I think he will finish up this year anyway.

I listened to it on Midwest and it was really depressing at times.

The sloppy play, the inability to "lay a finger on players going through"

Where are the days when Mayo played the hard game, where everywhere the oposition turned there was a Mayo man there to put them on their ass ?

Their experience and fitness got them through last night, but it probably won't be enough from here on.

I agree. We're lining ourselves up for a hammering tbh. The overall team standard isn't good enough and we will be found out against better opposition.

I'm afraid I don't have time to be always on the internet. But the S&C issues speak for themselves in the recurrence of soft tissue injuries. S&C isn't just about running for 70+ mins. It's also about preventing and recovering from injury. Something which has been a big problem for us. There might be the odd "freak injury", but the majority of injuries happen because of issues relating to conditioning and stress. Being rushed back is a big factor too.

Our S&C won't bail us out against better opposition.

Ok, surely being rushed back can be put on management (or even the player) rather than the S&C set up.

By your logic, if the S&C team did a terrible job in failing to prevent all the injuries, they've done a remarkable job in getting the majority of them back.

Maybe when you've time, you can tell us more about the claims that it was commonly know (but unspoken about) that there had been a big decline in the county S&C set-up conspiracy.

The tacking standard seems to have seriously dropped over the past while. Its so bad. We rarely win turnovers anymore from tackling.

Minor match on tg4 YouTube

Niall Hurley at it again, serious goal. 1-2 to 0-2 after 15 minutes, against a big wind. Look the better team

Great first half. 3-5 to 1-7, two goals in 30 seconds. I haven't seen a Mayo team as well coached in a long time, doesn't hurt that they have two absolute superstars in the full forward line With Clarke & Hurley. Meadady at 10 has been excellent too

2 late goals from kildare made it tighter than it should have been. Mayo able to get their scores much easier throughout. Anyone know what the SF draw is?

Was at the game yesterday, as somebody alluded to Kildare were gassed after 60 minutes, that and the missed chances to kill us off cost us.

am a fan of AOS but as soon as he went off saw a big improvement. He should be an impact sub and/or stuck up at FF to give an option B for the last 10 -20 minutes of games. Carr Coen and Loftus all looked poor.

I’m glad we didn’t draw Donegal looking at this !

Anyone know where the minor SF is likely to be played?
