I only fancy Mayo out of the three to be honest.

Hopefully 3 interesting and competitive games ....and so long as we give our Neighbours a lovely welcome and a nice day out but sadly for them a defeat:)

That would be some day on the beer I'd struggle for the mayo match in fairness

Roscommon won pulling up in the end,they have some very natural forwards who will cause a lot of problems for Mayo or Galway.Cutting off the supply to same in the middle of the park will be the winning of a Connacht final.

Having said that it was a relatively limited Sligo team who were carried by Pat Hughes and Adrian Marren up front(huge loss with the black card),ditto the loss of Charlie Harrison.Sligo put up quite a big score against the Roscommon defence which should offer Mayo/Galway much encouragement.

Roscommon will have to improve dramatically if they are to beat Mayo. They cant afford to let Mayo go 8 points up. They cant afford to dilly dally on the ball, half committing to their attempts on goal, like they were in the first half today. Against Mayo, if they play the way they did in the first half today, they will be beaten by HT. They need to be at the top of their game right from the first second. Mayo have the ability to hurt them otherwise.

If Galway somehow do catch Mayo on the hop, then Roscommon should be able to take them. However, it would be the ideal situation for Galway - come in as underdogs, Roscommon supremely confident, Galway wouldnt fear Roscommon etc. Anyway, I cant see that final coming about!

The rossies have no midfield they didn't have one when we played them in the bog they call Hyde park and they still don't.
We will have to quiten Collins if and when we meet the rossiez in the final he caused a lot of problems to day

Very quite in the Galway camp but we should be way to strong for them.

What's the story on the injury front? Last I heard, Chris Barrett still wasn't right. What's going on there?

naughto · 14-06-2016 04:06PM

Caf out now as well according to the Connaught

martyos121 · 14-06-2016 04:48PM

Balls, hope it's nothing long term for either. Only after getting my tickets so I must have jinxed us.

He's another who seems to have had a persistent injury problem now for a while. You'd kind of want these things to start sorting themselves out at this stage.

RD10 · 14-06-2016 05:41PM

Am i the only one worried about galway hiding in the long grass? most people are giving galway no chance whatsoever. I really think they'll give mayo a big scare. Still think mayo will beat them but not as easily as people think.

seligehgit · 14-06-2016 07:11PM

Tried to get a stand ticket for my nephew in Centra...I was told there were only terrace tickets left in all such outlets...Is it credible that the stand is already sold out or is it likely more will be released??

glack · 14-06-2016 07:19PM

Contact the Connacht GAA. They had stand tickets for the Connacht Final last year in the Hyde when Centra/Supervalu didn't.

I was shocked to be told the same in Supervalu, if more stand tickets get released I'll be fuming.

If Hanley plays fb I'll be happy enought he had some job the last time before he got black carded

squiredanaher · 14-06-2016 07:38PM

Are the stand seats first come first served? The stand ticket says unreserved seating on one part, but gives a section and row seat number on other part.!??

glack · 14-06-2016 07:42PM

Season ticket holders were told to just scan their cards for entry into the stand with no seats assigned.

Yes as Glack mentioned the seats are not designated and are filled on a first come first served basis.

Its hard to tell.

Then ate a team, unlike Roscommon, who have failed to really organise themselves and make a good fist of a championship run.

They have been stuck on Div 2 for too long to be considered a contender.
A team with real ambition would have been out of it at this stage.

That being said upsets do happen, but it would have to take a really bad day at the office from Mayo and a really good one at the office for Gakway to win in Castlebar on Saturday.

Mayo News reporting that Barry Moran and Conor Loftus are our main injury concerns,Barry missed the London game with an achilles injury,Stephen Rochford said Loftus was 50:50 for the Galway game.

Chris Barrett is definitely out with hamstring injury,return date unclear.Alan Freeman's ankle injury has cleared up and all the other walking wounded missing from the London clash took some part in the training camp including Ger Caff.

What is your basis for thinking this? Galway have done nothing recently to suggest they are in any shape to take on Mayo.

A good tough hard game with no injurys will do us fine . We will learn nothing if they rool over to easy

Didn't mean to quote u tcd

Follow a page on Facebook "diary of a junior footballer". He commented this morning that he heard all is not well in the mayo camp, any substance in this? He is a Galway man by the way.

Well whether true or not, all was not well last year, but it didn't stop them from performing. This story comes around every year, I wouldn't worry about it

I've heard nothing of the sort,not on the inside track but I'd oftentimes hear news through the grapevine.Hoping it's not true,a little bit of aggro in a camp can be positive as long as there is'nt an real underlying issue/toxicity related to same.

TBH I'd take most of these rumours re camp rumbling with a grain of salt without substantiation.

Ascii · 16-06-2016 09:12AM

Cant wait for saturday. Have a sneaking suspicion that galway will give us a little run. Would not believe the team galway have named will start, but no doubt there will be a few new young lads in it who will be trying to prove a point to Kevin Walsh. Hoping we get a competitive game and just get through by a point or two. I Deffo think a big demolition job on Galway like 2013 would play into Roscommons hands going into a provincial final. Lets save the hammering for the connaught final :-)
Is Diarmuid still injured or will he start ? Who is going to have a crack at naming the team ??

crusier · 16-06-2016 09:25AM

Galway will be lucky to get within 6 points of mayo, that's a B team with all that's missing , Kevin Walsh doesn't seem to be getting the support from some of the north galway clubs, as a galway man I just hope the new keeper is worth keeping not like last year's fiasco in goals

km79 · 16-06-2016 09:28AM

A galway man saying all is not well in the mayo camp whilst they Galway themselves together a team ? And he then predicts a 2 pt galway win ?
Stop. I think he is smoking the grapevine and hearing voices
