Well..... usually gets on about it without the shenanigans. You might be forgetting the start of last year. He was great after that though.

Hoping he is enjoying his time away from the liathroid mor given what a wonderful servant he's been to Mayo football since 2006 without attaining that which he craves so much.

Sometimes one just needs to get away from it all after some heart breaking disappointments much like in everyday life and return to one's roots.He evidently has a very warm relationship with Derek Walsh.

I'd still be hopeful he'll return post the league.

Anyway it's looking like it's going to be a very cold night come Saturday.

What is about the weather when the Dubs come to town?:)

Fog,horrendous downpours and ice cold nights.

Hoping we'll get a performance Saturday irrespective of the result.

Perhaps Keith believes that his best chance of winning an All Ireland medal is with the hurlers.

Mayo won the Nicky Rackard in 2016 so he has an All Ireland medal already.

He has a very varied medal collection, add in a pair of Railway Cup medals, one in each code, to the Nicky Rackard and the Football U-21.

Pity the senior football one has been so elusive thus far.

His form was awful at the beginning of the season. Was playing bad. Got sent off against Galway, which ultimately cost us the game in my opinion and led to the team have to graft through the lottery of the qualifiers. Form was still bad after the Galway games, and it was widely speculated that he would be dropped from the first 15. Fortunately, he clicked when it matters. Came to life against Roscommon. That’s what makes him special. He’s a big game player. He rises to challenges and shows nerves of steel. Rather than shying away in All-Ireland Finals.

Was just thinking that? What year was the almighty shower of hailstones, in the last 10 minutes? Unreal stuff altogether. All we're missing at this rate, is the plague of feckin' locusts.

Wasn't that 2016? Pouring rain for most of the match too.

ProudDUB

Yeah, that sounds about right. Only game I've ever been at, where I spent more time looking at the clock & begging the ref to blow the whistle, than I did the action on the pitch. (All Ireland finals aside, obviously. ) I honestly wouldn't have cared if ye got a last minute goal to win the damm thing. I just wanted the torture to end.

Nope was earlier than that, I remember Gilroy was still the Dublin manager ..

2012 would you believe!

Wasn't 14 when we absolutely blew it? Playing keep ball in our own half and they turn it over and O'Gara blasts to the roof of the net the last kick of the game. We were like 7 up in last ten aswell or something mad like that?

Cluxton was sent off too.

ProudDUB

No. I think that was 2012. First game was all tied up at half time. Then Mother Nature sneezed & the game was called off due to fog. Ye bate us out the gate in the replay.

Ah jaysis PD the hip flask must've been empty leaving McHale - Dublin were winning at HT, that fog which I saw it on the way up to Castlebar really only hit McHale about 20 mins into the game .. least said about the refix the better

Yeah spot on re the years.

Really blew it in 2014,Kevin Mc was a tad mischievous on the Cluxton kickout.

Don't know how on earth we managed to be relieved to get a draw after building up a handy lead!Plus ca change.

Dublin 2/5 to win on Saturday. With all the injuries suspensions and whatever i reckon thats a great price for a Dublin win. I put €50 on will pay for the match ticket should/when we lose.
Hate being defeatist but little to no chance on Saturday

We will get a big performance Saturday
I’ve no doubt in my mind
Whether it will be enough to get anything out of game is another story

I'd be surprised if Mayo playing at home in front of a big crowd don't deliver a good performance on Saturday night. Dublin have won all 3 games but they aren't flying 2-10 conceded v Kildare needed goalkeeping error to set them up for a win v Tyrone and for a lot of the 2nd half against a Donegal side in transition they were far from great.

Stoner

Yeah it was 2012.
I remember the sound wasn't it McCarthy clattering someone and getting sent off , the Echo was mad.

Connelly was flying that night.
Mayo were terrible in the first half but were coming into it towards the end of the half.

That was a game changer for Mayo.

On the replay the new Mayo showed up and have been here since

The Bear is departing our shores,very talented young lad.Transferring from Breaffy to North London Shamrocks.Who knows with the requisite level of commitment he might have made the transition to the senior squad/team?

Its funny as he entered my head when you asked a question around Breaffy. I heard if true or not, that he was disappointed to not get a call this year but that could be rubbish.

franklyon

I have no doubt the 15 that go out will do their best but dont think they will be anywhere near Dublin. Hope I am badly mistaken. If ever there was a time to step up for fringe players next Saturday is it.

He may have been disappointed but he can't have been surprised. Commitment nowhere near what is required, I think that's fairly common knowledge at this stage.

He has been playing with Castlebar Celtic in the Connaught Cup of late.
