Have heard conflicting information about Diarmuid, some saying nothing was wrong with him at all and he was just being rested, others saying the dead leg stuff. Haven't been home in a few days so can't totally confirm.

It would be a nice luxury if the management had decided to rest Diarmuid.The dead leg would be a nice cover story,it would have looked disrespectful and given Westmeath lots of ammunition/motivation if that story got out.

Most definitely. Diarmuid has played a lot of football this year though, so I wouldn't be surprised if they did decide to give him a break and just didn't want to say it. Hopefully, whatever the actual story is with him, it's not serious anyway.

Yes can you imagine how Galway would look now if they had decided to rest Damian Comer 'ahead of the semi-final'...

I'm pretty sure I know the incident it happened in as well!
I commented at the time that he is so brave BUT that sometimes he goes for a ball in a way that leaves him very open to heavy knocks and injuries ......

Slightly off thread but.... Something for the weekend sir?

Its a spot the (eye) ball competition with a big hint of Mayo Wait for it....

Bunny Colvin

Positives on Saturday for me were:

-Tom Parsons and Chris Barrett getting some game time.
-Barry Moran winning ball when introduced.
-Andy Moran having another good game.
-Cillian looked a lot sharper, missed some frees you'd expect him to nail though.
-Diarmuid still has to come back into the side.
-Donal Vaughan made some great runs and seems to have a bit of confidence back.
- Conor O'Shea looked good when brought in.
-Harrison had a decent game.

That's three wins on the bounce with lots to improve on. I feel there's at least one complete 70 minute performance in us this year. I'm hoping we have a few gears to go through yet because we haven't had to go full throttle yet (bar Galway).

I'd gladly win ugly against Tyrone with more questions to be asked, make no mistake though, we're in for a dogfight on Saturday. Come through that and we're in an All-Ireland Semi Final against Tipperary.

Kildare took control early in the second half and never looked back.
An average enough year at this level once again it has to be said.

section 303 row X for us the next day
similar seats to the last day but on the Hill side this time

PressRun

So apparently there's a good chance Diarmuid will be back for the Tyrone match, which is good news even though he'll be targeted the next day. Fully expect Kevin Keane and Kevin McLaughlin will be too. Think we'll need to get out the gates early in this one.

302 row F - fairly bad seat in fairness, low down & down towards the hill end.
Was in there before a few years ago and it's not a great perspective on the game.
At least I have a ticket I suppose.

Was in cusack section 303. Row bb, last weekend. Very good seats. prefer to be just a little higher up to look down on whole pitch but cant complain. Still an excellent view.

Can't believe it's only Tuesday im BUZZING for Saturday . I think a LOT of people inside and outside the county will be eating humble pie
" To never have considered losing as if to win is by our choosing "
That's how we should all be feeling as I'm sure the players are. They will not be fearing Tyrone.
UP MAYO

I was getting myself down thinking about how we are being wrote off.. But then I remembered Tyrone in 2004, Dublin in 2006, Cork in 2011, Dublin in 2012.....

Very strong rumours that DOC was fit for the Westmeath game but was "rested". Its a dodgy way to go about things by Rochford if true but he got away with it. You have to think these players have a big game in them, they have the experience and I expect them to put in a good 70 mins for the first time this summer.

The more I see of Rochford on the line the more o like him
One MAJOR fault of Horan was he was slow to make a change or try something different . Same can not be said of Rochford.
Who knows what he has up his sleeve for Saturday ......

303 and slightly higher up than the last day, no complaints here.

Have to agree, that there seems to be a bit more reactive flexibility.
Really excited now, 4 more sleeps

Attendance not up yet for last saturday???

Is that immediately you're scanned? If so will have to check it on the phone as soon as we get in for the next match. Not the first time this year our attendance has been "lost" with no recourse.
