I think he means in their overall training schedule, not when the 2 managers were appointed. Mayo reached the AI semi finals, so they (and Tyrone) were only allowed to return to training on December 1st....or whatever date the semi finalists are allowed to resume training on. Roscommon's season ended earlier, so they could start training for 2016 earlier.

Wasn't aware that when you finish in the championship has an influence on when you can start training again - interesting

That's news to me as well to be honest.

I always thought that collective inter county training was banned right across the board...

November 2nd week if yer gone from Champo in June 1st December for July losers. 2nd week December August/SF losers and last week December AI finalists

Mayo to me just didn't defend well, didn't get tight enough and didn't pick up the runners coming through midfield. The latter failing might be down to fatigue. I felt the full-back line however, acquitted themselves quite well, Brendan Harrison is developing into a good defender.

Not too many positives then from a Mayo perspective. Evan Regan didn't get much ball but Mikey Sweeney looked bright coming off the bench. Very hard to say where Mayo are right now - new manager still finding his feet and honestly Cork at home tend to be very strong this time of the year so I wouldn't throw in the towel just yet.

Although mayo were poor yesterday I'm not overly worried. Lots of players missing and you could see the likes of donie vaughan and diarmuid were struggling fitness wise(like a lot of others)..and its a rare sight you'd see those two struggling and being subbed.
cork are usually one of the best teams in the league.
Mayo are behind in their training and it showed there yesterday but i can see them gathering momentum towards the middle/end of the league and hopefully the performances and results will come.
Hopefully after a slow start to the year, by the time championship comes around they'll be peaking just at the right time.

I agree with the above post but I see us losing the next two games as well if that's the kind of effort there putting in
We need to keep or devision one league status that's important as well.I'd say the rossie are sick with losing that game

I don't think things will really start coming into view until later on.

Rochford says that he doesn't expect anyone who wasn't available for the Cork match to be available for the Dublin match either, and I'm assuming Keegan and McLoughlin will be added to that list too. It'll be interesting to see who lines out.

Can see what the management are trying to do with jason doherty. He's good for a point or two every match but a Few years back in the league it looked like he could have turned out to be a real serious, game changer type player. He's a nice player but I'd love to see him take more responsibilty like a few dub forwards. As in turn and burn his marker and go straight for goal every time. He has definately got it in him to beat his man..just don't see it often enough with him i think. We need more scorers. Aidan and cillian are just not enough with the odd score here and there from the rest of the forwards.
Brendan harrison played well yesterday. Can def see him being a starter in the championship. Jason gibbons can be good at times but im still not convinced with him.

I know this is Off topic. But is padraig o'connor still playing with ballintubber?

Fat lot of use that fancy dan Trinity education is to you then, eh?

They can't ban training right across the board. Every county has to observe a training ban for a set period of time. When it starts and ends is staggered, as it depends on when you got knocked out of the championship. The sooner you get knocked out of the champo, the sooner you can start your training ban and the sooner you can resume training for the following year.

Doherty's a good all-rounder, he was essentially a midfielder under Horan but he's good in the target-man role aswell as demonstrated during his Sigerson period.

I think Rochford wanted to have a look at Regan at full-forward, feed him early, low ball and lay it off to the supporting forwards. That was the game plan but the tactic never really got going bar that surging forward run from Conor O'Shea leading to a point in the first half. Doherty seemed to roam about to no great effect and it would have been nice to see him stationed beside Regan on the edge of the square.

Dublin will be a serious challenge - no surprises there and I would be a little concerned by that half-back line who look a little green at present.

Met Eireann forecast for tomorrow in Connaught.
Cloud and wind.
There will be scattered outbreaks of rain with some persistent and heavy falls in places.
The rain will clear eastwards to drier and colder conditions during the late afternoon and evening.
So as usual for the Saturday night games in McHale park snuggle up well!

ProudDUB

Thanks for that. But if the forecast said "Sunny and Bright & warmer than usual for the time of year", I'd probably have a heart attack from the shock. :rolleyes:

If you or not on the season ticket don't forget to pick one up in supervalu etc today for a fiver cheaper than at the gate

Safe journey Stoner,hope you enjoy a hospitable although ultimately disappointing visit.;)

My uncle who is domiciled in Dublin for 40 years or more is hitting the road on the 12.45 train to as always support his native Green and Red.It'd be so much easier for him to support the Dubs,have to collect him and he'll hopefully get to see Ardnaree Sarsfields win an All Ireland.

It's a good team cosidering the injuries. I thought the half-back line looked a little green and Rochford seems to have remedied that. Will Cafferkey and Harrison be able to keep the Dub's full-forwards quiet? That's a concern. Also, Mayo would look to have abandoned their sweeper system with Vaughan shifting to left-half back (which I'm convinced is his best position).

Presumably there will be a minute's silence for the late great Father Peter Quinn before the game tonight,no brainer.

Fr Tod Umptious

Just back from the Dublin game.
Hard to know what to make of it, much better on paper than Cork conditions were cat and its hard to know what Dublin had planned for the outing.

Thought Dirmauid O Conor and Conor O Shea had good outings.
