The Championship

Thanx 4 The Fish

Well will they be able to get to the final again ?

Need some good performances but looked good v Cavan today and despite going behind it was a fairly good win in the end.

Sunday will be a big test against Derry.

Just saw this thread. As a Donegal man, I might get accused of a few things here but I'm going to type this anyway. Derry are not a good team. I would fully expect Mayo to beat them, even in Celtic Park. I saw them in the Championship last year in Ballybofey and they were woeful. Granted they beat Armagh yesterday but I think Armagh had an off day due to their inactivity since losing to Donegal in Ulster.

I'm going to agree with ^^^^

If we're anywhere near serious contenders we should be beating Derry, if not we're as well off going home.
I've said the top 6 teams in the country have a chance of winning Sam (Tyrone, Kerry, Dublin, Mayo, Donegal, Galway - although that looks less likely after last weekend). Now we are in that top 6 and should beat anybody outside of it 8 times outta 10.

Uuum, don;t know. Not overly convinced, our defence is worse than last year and cannot handle the high ball. If we beat Derry it will just delay the enevitable

you think we would have learned our lesson with the high ball.

Mike...

After the Derry Game all I can say is....

They think it's all over.......It is now

"Overrated" would be one word I'd use to describe Mayo.
