Mayo news podcast reviewing the Galway game is now available.

One point they made was that the atmosphere in McHale Park was dead from the get go, and I agree, for some reason it was very subdued, even when Mayo were on top.

I think the fans, myself included, could be accused of complacency.

Or a shed load of us were fked around by Connaught Council and kicked out of seats. Some season ticket holders walked out.
Plenty around me when I ended up out in the corners weren't even bothered watching, all chatting away. :rolleyes:

I noticed Elverys have just announced a sponsorship deal with Connacht Rugby.

Could this have implications for Mayo GAA?

Why would it? They also sponsor Tipp GAA and now Mayo ladies. They are more likely to drop the tipp sponsorship than the long standing Mayo one if it became an issue.

Possibly, I just thought they might feel they've reached the pinnacle of their exposure with Mayo and judge Connacht will give more bang for their buck.

Tough road for you guys now. Looking like it'll be Cork or Monaghan in the next round, with possibly Tyrone/Donegal in the 4th round. Granted if ye get by those (favourite in every game at least) you'll have serious momentum come the AIQF

It could also be Kildare or Offaly in the next round and Westmeath or Dublin in the 4th.

Easiest route to final - Offaly, Westmeath, Donegal, Galway*

Toughest - Monaghan, Tyrone, Dublin, Kerry.

*Really soft A side qualifier like Laois or Sligo could be in SF spot, far fetched but possible.

Kildare or Offaly wouldn't be too bad, Monaghan away would be tricky ditto Cork,they're such a Jekyll and Hyde team.Losers of the Ulster final will be another step up.Dublin will put Westmeath to the sword, preferable draw to the Ulster boys.One way or another if we navigate our way past a tough Fermanagh managed by the wily Pete McGrath and others we'll certainly be battle hardened by the time we hit the quarter finals.Saturday night will tell a lot.

It'll be a 50/50 shot ye'll get Westmeath in the 4th round so maybe some respite there. The flip side there though is you'll very likely be playing Dublin in the QF in that case, as you'd have to assume the Ulster loser comes through from the other B qualifier.

I really think the losing provincial finalist should join in the 3rd round, before they cut the qualifiers in half by matching them off in round 4 (currently happens round 3). Different debate however

Kildare Mayo might be a decent game

I'm the opposite, I want it at 7pm cos I've a load to things to get done here in Kerry on Saturday morning and I've something to do then in the early hours of Sunday, so head off around 1pm, get to the game, and then straight home to be back for around midnight.

Heaven forbid she ever gets injured!Where will they resurrect the scores from when she does eventually retire?.:eek:

Martha Carter played most of the game with a broken hand!

I really do hope someone is keeping score.

Because when she hangs up her boots I'd love to see the total that she has scored for Mayo.

Its going to be massive.

Still no time announced. Disgraceful. What is it with the ineptitude of the GAA?

From Twitter: "Sky Sports will show both hurling qualifiers live next Saturday. Times yet to be confirmed. #GAA"

So they were waiting to see who was going to be in the hurling to arrange it. So Sky will dictate that one is at 5pm and the other at 7pm.

Don't see why this should have held up an announcement on the Mayo game if Sky never had any intention of showing it.

Maybe they only intended to show one and wanted to pick the most attractive, but now for some reason they are going to show 2.

God knows at this stage, the joy of Sky dictating it now it seems. :rolleyes:
