    What sort of crowd would they be expecting at this?
    Both teams have a good following...

    Between 15-20 thousand would be my guess. I'd imagine the Mayo support would make up the bulk of the crowd.

    I'd say there'll be more like 30/35 thousand, mayo should bring a good crowd with their recent sucess, and kildare/tyrone playing at 2pm.

    The future of your football team could be at risk, what with Michelle Mulherin as your local TD, there will be a lot less children born in mayo if she gets her way :)

    Best of luck to Mayo, I hope they win the league, they seem to be going in the right direction with Horan, great footballer in his day as well.

    Mayo could definetly do with a long range free taker (who could'nt)

    That Brian Sheahan is some free taker (Pleased he missed the 45 yesterday though)

    Is he the best free taker of all time (especially from distance). I can't think of any better myself.

    Mayo would do some serious damage if we had a Sheahan to take our frees.

    Don't know if I'd have him on frees to be honest. There's no point having the best free taker in the country if he can't kick them over when it matters. Sheehans last kick reminded me of Maurice Sheridan, deadly from frees up to the point where it all comes down to one kick, then unable to hack the pressure, his kick at the end was 15 metres inside his range on his good side, he blew it. Contrast that with Cillians effort with the last kick of normal time to nick the draw for Mayo, bad angle for a right footer, miss and Mayo are beaten but he split the posts. I know which of them I'd want on frees anyway.

    That's a good point, I think he missed one from the same spot a few years ago v Dublin in the league, again it was the last kick of the game.
    And he fell to pieces for South Kerry v Mid Kerry in a county championship QF a few years ago, again when the game was on the lines.
    But Mayo still need someone who can convert 45s, at any stage of the game.

    Mayo need a long range free taker all right.

    In fairness Brian Sheehan is normally very good.

    Think you're being a little harsh on both Sheehan and Sherdian tbh but Mayo have lacked a free taker for years that can place the ball from distance.
    Fair play to O'Connor for winning the free and having the composure to swing it over. He was only on the pitch a couple of minutes as well.

    Big change from the game last summer where Cork were missing 5 or 6 players and Mayo were still 5/1,

    They were not missing 5 or 6 players. Everytime a Cork person recants it they were missing more players. They were missing three starters, before the match all the talk was how strong a panel Cork had. Now its the reason they lost.

    Guys.

    I'm a bit worried about Andy Moran. Judging by the pic in this article he mustn't have worn any sun-cream in Portugal at all.

    He looks dog rough. That's what all the booze and sun can do to a man.

    Apart from AOS whom will be back for the championship that's a near full strength Mayo line up. In Clarke,Cafferkey,Higgins,Vaughan,Mortimer,Dillion & the Moran's that's plenty of mileage,experience for a so called young guns team.
