Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

rebel girl 15

New thread continued from here.

Welcome to the Mayo GAA discussion thread.

This is one of the most active forums on Boards.ie. As a result, discussion can get quite heated. But there are certain things posters must realise are simply not OK to post:

- Personal abuse of anyone be they other posters, players, managers, referees, pundits etc. Any personal abuse will result in an infraction or a ban.

- Rumours about players'/managers'/anyone's personal lives. This should be self explanatory. Apart from being a dickish thing to do, it can lead to legal trouble for Boards.

- Trolling. Again, self explanatory. Trolls will be banned for a long time.

- Accusations of trolling. Report a post if you suspect it to be trolling. Do not call a troll out on thread as this will be considered back seat modding.

- Speculation into the identity of another poster. This is a site-bannable offence.

This list is not exhaustive. Either myself or another mod may add to this as we see fit. Just because a certain behaviour isn't listed, doesn't mean you can't be banned for it.
The general Boards.ie rule of Don't be a Dick always applies.

If you feel a post breaks the rules, simply click the red triangle underneath the post in question to report the post and a mod will deal with it as they see fit.

So be civil to each other and happy posting.

Don't try and add us to make out your a Mayo supporter. Your a troll and a sh1te one at that.

Would anyone prefer to meet Dublin in a QF possibly when they are undercooked as they say and possibly catch them on the hop ?

The avoiding Dublin route looks much easier obviously.
Westmeath in the 4th then Tyrone in the QF, very winnable for Mayo, then a SF v Galway, Roscommon, Clare, Tipp or Derry.

Dublin in a QF may not be the foregone conclusion that people think.
I think there's a real whiff of 2012 off their on-field attitude so far this year, especially today.

He's a troll, let him off. He isn't a Mayo supporter btw.

Well if the lads go out on the pitch with the mentality you are expressing they are going to beaten before the ball is thrown in.Thankfully there is no danger of that.

Soooooooo which do we want
A
Westmeath (who we will beat don't care what anyone says about complacency etc )
And then Tyrone in quarters . With galway playing in the other quarter final on that side of draw

Or
B
A real tough test against donegal with dublin and then Kerry lying in wait for the winners on that side

I'll take A thanks

A please.

I take it that for the QF a provincial winner can't play against the team they beat in the provincial final?
If we are picked against Westmeath and win and in the unlikely event Cork beat Donegal then if would be a draw for the QF pairings. Is that correct?

I believe that once the draw is made the pair g is made for quarter finals too
So whoever gets Westmeath avoids dublin and plays Tyrone
Whoever gets donegal plays dublin

Only if the Ulster loser is drawn against and beats Cork

Mayo avoid Dublin if they draw and beat Westmeath and Donegal beat Cork.

If we draw Donegal then we play Dublin if Westmeath beat Cork.

If we beat Donegal and Cork beat Westmeath its open draw to see who plays Dublin.

The reason, provincial champs cannot meet the team they beat in the final.

No all quarter finals are in CP.

4th round qualifiers are neutral, maybe CP

Galway are the new team in Connaught now. The crown has been passed over. Lets hope we slip out by a few points in the next round, and not make a holy show of ourselves in the quarter final a la Mayo.

Good to see Donal getting a full run yesterday

and a bit of bulk added to the back

excellent. Accurate kicking all round and much better tight marking, the sap is rising, I feel it. Cant wait for the next march.

Kildare were dangerous all the time and play a beauitiful fluid game that was a pleasure to watch. While there was 9 points difference towards the end, its only 3 kicks of the ball, best to ensure that nothing happens when you have a decent lead against a dangerous team like that.

Next time I would like the bulk at the back for the first half and see what happens with that

, tire out the opposing forwards I hope.

Michael Murphy was kicking points from outside the 45 today, something to think about.

Venues will probably depend on the draw.
Last year was:
Cork v Kildare @ Thurles
Westmeath v Fermanagh @ Cavan

Other 2 were double header @ croke Park:
Sligo v Tyrone & Donegal v Galway

I reckon Croker if it's Donegal, and god knows where if it's Westmeath but not Croker. Could be Limerick!

I'd be happy to go to Limerick as I've a wedding the Friday and would not be looking forward to a long trip to Dublin

I think if it's cork Donegal and mayo Westmeath there even be a possibility of a double header in Limerick!
if it's mayo Donegal it will be croker and the late game

Ah you would be very happy then of course, myself I've not fond memories of the place from last time but it's a grand spot if anyone's making the weekend of it.

We really need the tougher game I feel which is clearly Donegal just to keep the momentum going, but any situation where we avoid Dublin in the quarter finals is the best one I think, we're not anywhere near ready for a challenge like that yet based on how things have gone for us. Donegal, Tyrone, Galway (or whoever beats them) is the route I'd like to take to the final, but I don't think it's a year where we'll get much further than the quarter, if even that.

Seems straightforward alright but in terms of winning an All Ireland i think B can work. For the sole reason i think Dublin will be vulnerable after the Leinster Championship. They get better with games against good teams though. Last year Mayo were disjointed enough but still could have won the first game. The replay helped both teams, Dublin won and by the time they met Kerry they were flying. In reality the weather kept the scoreboard respectable.

If it works out A and Mayo win through to a final, they'll more than likely have to play the Kerry monster:pac: or a well tested Dublin. I don't think they'll win either tbh. In a quarter final after a hard fought win against Donegal? Definite chance they can build a head of steam and exploit Dublin and indeed then Kerry (who'll play also rans in the QF) being a little rusty.
