They are overdoing the podcasts imo
Too much of a good thing now

I guess with the lull between games there's not much else to talk about, but I felt myself the chatter had died down a good bit and a lot quicker than in previous years. Maybe people are used to losing in Connacht now so it doesn't generate as much debate as in previous years!

I don't like talking about games we lose for long, especially when we're still in it. Rather look forward to the draw than look back.

Agreed. Was glad to hear the end of it.

Ok, take your pick from

Antrim
Leitrim
Derry
Offaly
Monaghan
Down
Westmeath
Longford

I'd like to avoid Monaghan, and to a lesser extent Derry and Down, and for the sake of not going to a place with terrible history, Longford

Westmeath (hammering Waterford right now)
Longford (well up v Carlow now)

Leitrim Antrim or Offaly but wouldn't fancy the trip up north.

I'll take Monaghan for 10p please Bunny.

Would like to avoid the Northern teams if possible.

He was some character and a Mayo legend .

He was on 'The Toughest' when Aidan was trying out American football. Went to his home and had a chat with him. R.I.P

That just leaves Paddy Prendergast left from the '51 team.

Terribly sad.All the remaining 1950/1951 players truly sought was for the heavy millstone of being these new near mythical heroes of Mayo as our last All Ireland winners to be passed onto a younger generation.

So sad they never saw that day.

Admirable he sought the opportunity with his blossoming medical career to leave our shores.He achieved so much.

As Bunny said the piece with Aidan on The Toughest Trade was poignant and beautifully done.

I must resurrect the House Of Pain or The Road to 51 but I seem to recall he disliked the politics around Mayo football and had a fraught relationship with Sean Flanagan?

There's a lot of interesting stuff about the 1951 team in that book. Been a few year's since I read it but there's some great stories and history in it up to 2006.

His was one of the great GAA stories. A great picture of the emigration situation in Ireland at the time too.

Anyone saying they want Monaghan is talking ****e
I want Monaghan alright .....Monaghan’s piss easy qualifier draw from last year
I don’t want “tests “
I want to make the super 8s
There will be plenty of “tests” from there on

I'd have to laugh at anyone saying that, absolute madness wanting that draw at this stage. It doesn't matter one bit how you get through the qualifiers, they're there to be gotten through at any cost. Bigger tests are guaranteed later on.

Mayo 1950 and 1951 All-Ireland winner 'The Flying Doctor' has died aged 91 https://the42.ie/4675275

Not a bad draw!

Bunny Colvin

Down. Could have been worse!

muddle84

Could have been worse. We should be ok against Down...............shouldn't we?

km79

If we can’t beat them we are as well off out
Not a gimme but should be beating them
Gives Horan a chance to show off his tactical nous .........

Kerry have never beaten Down in the Championship. They are never easy.

We should but it's far from a walk over. Now to see if it's fixed for Saturday or Sunday.

A few years ago when Down was a Div 1 outfit this would have been a very tough assignment for Mayo but the current Down team are a Div 3 team and already this year were well beaten at home by Laois and in the final league game where a win would have secured promotion they lost at home to Louth.

Who knows at this stage how we are, rumors of a bit of infighting already, issues in the goal keeper position, no proper free taker and nordie teams love to go after teams with any self doubt.

I expect us to scrape this by 4-5 points, but who knows either with this Mayo team.

Paddy Tallys knowledge of how to continuously beat Mayo might be the difference!

You didn't get the memo..... :o:D

Fr Tod Umptious

Very sad about the death of Padraig Carney.

It really drives home that we have only one left from 1951.

It would be such a terrible shame if we lost Paddy Prendergast before Mayo win an All Ireland.

After such a great few years of success between a final appearance in 1948 and the wins in 1950 and 1951 Mayo people must have been getting used of the idea of winning All Irelands.

But look at us now, only one man left.

Would have preferred no northern team.
