Go via the GAA site, worked for me, tickets.ie kept going back to the start page after you selected the game you wanted

Not sure to be honest. My club secretary told me you could get them at Centra!

LOL got 2 for the lower Hogan 326,in the corner.Weather forecast is not great for Saturday,think I'll bring the rain gear just to be safe.Think row P is under the roof.Pretty hopeful for Saturday,not too optimistic re the minors chances!

Looks like there will be a special train service from Mayo for the match after all. Details here: http://www.irishrail.ie/cat_offers.jsp?i=4635

What's peoples thoughts on Murphy? Can he do a job for us this year, or is it a bit late for him coming into the panel? He might provide that extra spark for us if he gets his chance, God knows we need it!

Personally speaking I think he was only brought in to make up the numbers for an A v B game. Panel was a little thin with Mort gone, Harte etc all injured.

He's the leading scorer in the Mayo championship, could well be just what we need up front.

Conroy in for Varley and OShea in for Geraghty. Rest the same as Sligo. Strong team. Hope our forwards start firing

Don't think O'Shea has the legs at the moment for anywhere near 75mins of top class intercounty. Thought he looked very heavy when he came on against Sligo. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Jimmy Macnulty · 01-08-2012 12:35pm

I agree. i would have started Geraghty and Moran and brought on Oshea for 60 mins or so. Promised a wet day so might suit Oshea

Thought he looked the complete opposite. Game changer and we'll need him on Saturday.

That was the one announced after training last night. Will be interesting to see how Conroy plays. He didnt play well at all against cork in the league final up there. Mayo now Mortimor is gone he might shine as the two of them seemed to always make the same run and the full forward line was cluttered

Fr Tod Umptious · 01-08-2012 3:57pm

Ok I am not convinced about Conroy

He did not win much ball at the league final, he looked slow, overweight, uninterested.

He won a bit more ball in the Connaught final when he came on but he did not do very much with it.

But I'll have to give him the benifit of the doubt beacuse the rest are not great either.

Anyway Borlly says that Down have no defence

seligehgit · 01-08-2012 4:50pm

Not at all convinced by Michael Conroy,very poor in the Connaught final.Suppose that could be said for all the forwards other than Alan Dillon and Andy Moran.Definitely would start Aidan O Shea if he is fully fit.Made quite a difference when he came on,superior footballer to Danny Geraghty.He is never going to be quickest man off the block!:DYeah the conditions are likely to suit him on Saturday. Really hope Cillian O Connor shows a bit better on Saturday,form very poor thus far.

I thought Horan might leave him on the bench and bring him on early in the second half. He obviously thinks he is fit enough though.

john mayo 10 · 01-08-2012 10:22pm

Jason doherty named at center half forward while conroy and o connor named as the 2 corner forwards. O shea starts in midfield with moran

Good to see O'Conor inside, interesting putting Doherty there at half forward. Have to try something I suppose

Grand so. Not a bad line up, but we really need Doherty to find his scoring boots.

I think all he needs is one good game to get back on track. Not sure that bringing him further away from goals is going to help much with that though.

Someone was on about the Mayo GAA page on facebook a while ago and they put up the team:

1. David Clarke - Ballina Stephenites
2. Kevin Keane - Westport
3. Ger Cafferkey - Ballina Stephenites
4. Keith Higgins - Ballyhaunis
5. Lee Keegan - Westport
6. Donal Vaughan - Ballinrobe
7. Colm Boyle - Davitts
8. Barry Moran - Castlebar Mitchels
9. Danny Geraghty - Ballintubber
10. Kevin McLoughlin - Knockmore
11. Cillian O'Connor - Ballintubber
12. Alan Dillon - Ballintubber
13. Enda Varley - Garrymore
14. Andy Moran - Ballaghaderreen (Captain)
15. Jason Doherty - Burrishoole

This is what they're saying, it's up on twitter too. I know someone said O'Shea was starting earlier but there's no mention of him on that. If he isn't starting I'd say Horan will do the same as the Sligo game and bring him on in the second half. It could be a fitness thing

well that's totally at odds with what has been said here before and in other media

No O' Shea
No Conroy for Varley
Cillian O' Conor in the half forwards

Cue at least 4 Down defenders winning an All-Star, poor Joe hates every county he has ever played against that had the temerity to beat Derry.

Down are pretty average though, in reality teh game against Tipp was a real 50/50 battle that could have went either way, Down got a very fortunate goal at the stroke of half time that ultimatelyproved the difference.

That said Mayo looked pretty ordinary in the Connaught final, perhaps the Mortimer circus was a distraction, but Mayo do look exceedingly ordinary in the inside forward line, still they should handle Down.
