    I missed the 7 o'clock bus from dublin and missed the minor game. Had to listen to it on the radio. Raging I couldn't make it, sounded like a great game.

    Anyone know where there might be highlights online?

    Great finishes but ice cream soft defending by us. Mayo have clearly been working on scoring goals all season.

    Wouldn't know who could eventually end up on the bench as keeper at this stage. Clarke huge loss, very consistent in all aspects of goalkeeping.

    When Hennelly was in goal a couple of years back, where was Clarke then? Was he injured?

    Clarke a loss but If you can bring in a goalkeeper that was first choice two years ago and still very young it's not a bad position to be in.

    Hennelly kept him out of the side.

    Hennelly reminds me of the other bleached head fella that horan droped from the panel.I just hope he has matured enough as he was all over the place them,he could do any thing when the ball came in.

    Hennelly is a cracking keeper, but I agree he did lack maturity, especially under the high ball.


    I have a feeling the new square ball rule may not suit his style....

    Thats what I thought alright. In that case, Clarke's absence shouldnt be a big deal. Ye should be thankful that ye have a 3rd choice keeper with that kind of experience to come in...

    Like on Sunday when he came out to tackle a London lad 18 yards from goal when he should NEVER had been there and 2 defenders and 2 forwards behind him.
    Erratic and doesn't know how to make himself "big".

    More of a popstar than a solid keeper.

    punching the ball away when he should be catching it

    sliping on his ass taking the frees

    i hope he has matured and playes very well for us but clarke and o malley are miles ahead of him

    He did the right thing, even if the proto body block was a borderline penalty decision. It was an easy goal for London otherwise, you're remembering the chance all wrong.

    Not sure about doing the right thing. It should have been a penalty the ref missed it and he got lucky.

    That would be a pretty weird dream!

    Eamon Fennell of Dublin appeared on a dating show too.

    London ran out of steam in the end but it's another example this year of a team taking a trimming off us and doing much better afterwards. They were far better than I expected today, even without the 'sympathy' reffing they enjoyed courtesy of Conor Lane last Sunday. If they had been at this level in 2010 back when we weren't at the races and went out early they could well have gone close to winning Connacht.

    London at least showed their competitiveness today. Only for a few casual unforced errors by Mayo last week allowed them in for any real chances of note. Unfortunately that extra 20% fitness gained by playing a number of proper games stood for Cavan today. I know everyone will want Cavan in the quarters after that display but Id nearly prefer us to get our first proper test against the likes of Cork, Donegal, Tyrone next week provided they get through of course..

    Yet again it appears that other so called stronger teams have struggled to beat the teams we overcame in the Connaught championship.London gave a good account of themselves,ran out of steam.Mind you I did not think the standard of football on display was very high. Hoping for a victory for the Tribesmen now.

    and vice versa, all Cork supporters would love to get Mayo in the draw tonight.

    Oh I'd still fear Cork as big challenge if they play their right team that is. Couldn't believe the likes of Kelly and Kerrigan started on bench

    And another example of the same thing from Galway this time. All other Connacht teams now out but not without making an impression on the championship.

    Mayo would take a Cork team playing like that easily, but if Cork decide to get interested they are capable of so much more. For that reason they'd still be a very difficult proposition if we got them in the quarters. Galway on the other hand would have been easy pickings again if they'd sneaked through and we drew them. Unfortunately not to be.
