    As for the match, Fermanagh are the toughest opponents we could have drawn. I would feel somewhat anxious going into this simply because I don't know if the problems we have at present are fixable in three weeks. I think Cafferky, given the form he was in recently, is a big loss (though Keane was one of our only decent performers the last day). I'm interested to see what the attitude is like most of all. I'm hopeful, but wouldn't be that shocked if Fermanagh pulled it off.

    Horan revolutionised Mayo football, it would be a shame to see it regress to the bad old days of poor preparation etc.

    Hopefully a performance v Fermanagh and beyond will put the rumours to bed for the year.

    As for the team itself, the problem with AOS is that it has been difficult to find a place where he fits in best.
    One year he is midfield, next its half forward, next its full forward.
    The FF role is fine when there is loads of time and space to get good balls into him, but as we saw last year against the better teams he suddenly becomes isolated when that supply is closed down.

    I personally think his best performances have been in the middle and maybe that's where he goes.
    Without doubt dropping him might wake him up a bit, he has often gone missing when the question has really been asked, but I don't think we have the squad to afford to drop him.

    Anyway, I'd put AOS and Parsons at midfield, with Seamus as an impact sub.
    The half forward spot may then be taken by Conor O Shea, I may be way off with that but I know he played there before and possibly as recently as the league.

    I'd put Loftus in the corner with Cillian in the middle and Regan in the other corner.

    As for the backs I think the most important thing is to keep Higgins back there to add a bit of expetienc with the loss of Cafferkey and Cuniffe. It would be great to see Keane develop into a real top cladd full back but I'm afraid that ship may have sailed.

    When ate the CCCC due to set the date and time for the game by the way
    Agree on Higgins and AOS . Pick a position and play them there . Stop messing them around
    Higgins HAS GOT TO be played corner back from now on. End of "experiment "
    I'd prob play Aidan at 11 and Seamie centre Field. Will be interesting to see which way Rochford goes .
    Clarke in goals for me

    Fermanagh could be the "Iceland" of the qualifiers. There is NO room for complacency.

    It's amazing we all have opinions on where various players should be played.:)Aidan O Shea best position for me is in the middle of the park.For whatever reason the full forward experiment has failed,poor delivery and totally inadequate support for Aidan.He cuts a very frustrated figure to me with all his moving around and lack of success in same.He is super ball winner,monster of a man and has an excellent skillset...his mobility and stamina is what concerns me on occasion.Certainly if things are'nt working out one can mix things up.

    Seamus O Shea is a real concern form wise but he is truly too good a footballer not to be able to extricate himself out of this rut.We're a bit short in a historically strong area with Jason Gibbon's championship ending injury,not too sure what's the story with Barry Moran.Maybe it's time to give Stephen Coen some more championship experience.

    No doubt about it,Zippy needs to hold the corner berth.On the same page,I believe David Clarke deserves a start in goals.

    Barry Moran has been injured supposedly but I think I read he got some game time for Castlebar over the weekend, so perhaps he's getting back into the swing of things. I do agree that Seamie has struggled with form recently and Stephen Coen deserves a go too. He has contributed to the scoreboard the last two matches, I believe.

    Half time minor semi final scores.
    Leitrim 0-6
    Mayo 3-3.
    Live commentary on Mid West.

    Galway giving Roscommon a bit of a chasing in the other one despite having shipped a couple of black cards.
    Roscommon 0-2.

    Full time in the minor match:

    Mayo 4-11
    Leitrim 1-08

    Ryan O'Donoghue scored 3-4 and got Man of the Match. Sounded like a strong performance overall from the FF line.

    Its always case with the GAA.

    Why can't the time be announced on the day its supposed to be and if there is a delay why can't they tell us why and when the time will be announced.

    They announced Monaghan/Donegal v Longford for 19:00 Saturday 9th straight away, i.e. the day they were supposed to announce them,
    So I presumed that would be the Sky game.

    It's an absolute disgrace they have not announced the time yet. I need to see if I have to book the day off work and I am sure many others feel the same. What about people trying to organise travel from Fermanagh or those interested in booking accommodation? How this could take a week to organise I will never know. Thats regardless if Sky are involved or not!!!!

    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.

    Agreed
    I think in many many ways a galway win may be a good thing in the long run

    Just got a season ticket email saying Pay & Play will be deducted on Monday, opt-out by midnight Sun night.
    Yet it also states that the time is yet to be confirmed.

    This is F***ing ridiculous.

    Note: It doesn't affect me, as I will be there regardless, but as others have pointed out, some need to take time off work, arrange travel, etc.
