Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

Is Gary Boylan not cutting it in training? He looked good in that game V the underdogs, a few months ago. They were poor opposition, n but he still looked like a player who could make an impact on a full Mayo team..

I played against him at club level and had the beating of him all day long.

Is Stephen Coen captain for the year or has it been named yet?

Horan said it wouldn't be decided until after the Meath game and there's been no announcement yet.

Willie Joe Padden said I was the toughest opponent he ever faced in his entire playing career

Playing against your brothers Connor and Trevor in the back garden does not count Kenith.

I played minor but can’t be arsed tbh. The current side have no commitment and I’ve no desire to waste my time losing with them

Sounds like you're a massive loss, you wouldn't reconsider

I was at another level. I’ve too many farm responsibilities to be bothering though as the current panel is rubbish

Surely I'd have heard of you? Whats the club? If you played against ROD underage you must be another northmayo man

I can't be the only one wondering if that's a euphemism for being high?

Mod: Stop posting rubbish. This is your only warning and don't respond on thread.

Carr simply must have some kind of injury fitness issue and is being eased back in
Not even Horan is this mad

I think Carr could end up like Tom Parsons in Horan's last reign.

Once he makes up his mind about someone, it doesn't really change.
He seems to substitute Carr early and regularly.

In fairness, Parsons suffered from injuries, a major loss of form and by working overseas throughout that time period - once he got fit and showed a run of form, he was back on the panel in 2014 and got some game time (which is limited by the fact that there was a few lads ahead of him in the pecking order).

Pretty sure Carr went off injured in the Donegal game and was recovering late last year as well. I suspect it’s a case of having to sub him off rather than choosing to.

Yeah
Whilst I agree Horan can be stubborn and take sets against lads I don’t think this is the case with Carr
He clearly rates him
He must be carrying A slight niggle . Under diff circumstances he would prob not have played him at all and let him recover . But needs must .
Hopefully the break will see him and a few more recover
The extra week might help us close the gap on Monaghan fitness wise
They are basically at championship pace at the moment and full strength

Dont like to see lads going off injured, but tbh on that occasion I wasn`t that sorry to see the back of him.:o

TBF to James Horan he seemed to indicate in the latest podcast that he was easing some of the players back in post injury.

In fairness to Carr, he has been impressive so far imo. He has bulked up and looks a strong guy, I like the way he plays as well as he wants to score and has a real eye for a goal.

Jason Doherty back walking in straight lines.

A lot of work left to get the stability and flexibility back I'm sure, but great to hear he's well on the mend.

I assume you mean sprinting in straight lines? I think you're off the crutches and walking a few weeks after an ACL operation.

Good to hear either way!

Tad surprised Padraig O Hora did not start on Sunday,he'd done little wrong thus far in the league.He was'nt named amongst the substitutes in the match day program either.

Anyway he's going to feature as a participant on Monday night on RTE2 at 21.35 in season 2 of Special Forces: Ultimate Hell Week.

Can't say I've ever heard of it but I'll definitely give it a look.
