Watching the season Roscommon had I turly believe that Mayo dodged a bullet when the players decided that they not want anything to do with a management team that included McHale.

Fair play to them.

Rossies had a bright start to the year and retaining Div 1 status was a decent achievement. As season went on, their style of play changed and other teams fitness esp in championship asked questions of them.

Ultimately their demise was a tale of two management teams that struggled with a game plan. Whether management stays on to develop the 3 year project remains to be seen. Pity that McStay rates McHale as he is a good manager.

Even with Holmes & Connelly it was never clear who wore the trousers. Not that it matters at this point.

Our season panning out nicely with Rochford.

I was at the game yesterday for my sins. I was watching McHale standing in the same spot on the sideline. He didn't move or say a word to the players in the whole 2nd half. With 15 to go one of the Rossie backroom team came running up the sideline to him roaring in his face and McHale looked at him as if to say "what the hell am I meant to do" the Roscommon mentor then ran onto the pitch trying to drive the players on while McHale kept standing in the same spot. I really don't know what the hell he is there for.

Great win for the lads. Hopefully can get some revenge on Kerry but as said very high level in Kerry.

The rules are that no player who played in the final for Kerry last year can play the following year (if they win that is). So essentially it is a totally new Kerry junior team this year.

Ya? Didn't know that. Is that even fair?

I think its a great system, which enables players who would otherwise never get a look in at Intercounty level a chance to show. It means another 26 players get a chance to prove themselves.

Kerry largely using like a continuation of the u21 team and preparing guys for Senior.

True when u look at it that way.

I won't be able to make it to Dublin on Saturday so have a spare ticket going if anyone wants it.
It's section 308 Row T in with the Mayo season ticket holders.

PM me if interested.

You need'nt worry Yop they'll still be pretty handy.:)Irrespective of the turnover I firmly believe based on last year(the chasm was vast) Kerry junior football is of a higher standard to that of Mayo junior football.Hope I'm wrong.

The Kerry lads love beating us in finals whither at club or inter county grades of varying levels.

Fr Tod Umptious · 27-07-2016 05:27PM

Mayo News reporting that Keane may still not be fit for Saturday.

With Coen or Vaughan deputising at full back.

If he is out hopefully they can get past Westmeath without a proper full back and hope he is ready for the next week.

I believe it was reporting he was the only major doubt.....

I'd be pretty concerned with either of the lads mentioned deputising at full back.We really are down to the bare bones in terms of the full back line and no likely return of Keith Higgins to said line.

PressRun · 27-07-2016 05:42PM

I think it'll be touch and go with Keane up until Friday probably. I'd be surprised if he plays, tbh.

reap-a-rat · 27-07-2016 07:15PM

Westmeath will be licking their lips at the thought of pumping ball in on top of Heslin being marked by a novice full-back.

Oldtree · 27-07-2016 08:26PM

If like me you are driving up.......

The August bank holiday is traditionally very quiet in Dublin,these roadworks will ensure extra travel time for all travelling up to Croker and the Aviva.

It was mentioned on the six one news that short hop DART and RAIL with park and ride facilities would be free to encourage the use of public transport.I'm presuming this isn't applicable to Maynooth station:pac: hardly short hop in to Drumcondra station... Nice try.. LOL.I suppose it depends on what one's definition of short hop is!

That's because half a billion of our population go home for the weekend

I wouldn't go near town if you're driving up. Going around the M50 and down Drumcondra road is the best bet.

kupus · 27-07-2016 11:30PM

senior, intermediate and junior clubs made it to the holy grail. Our juniors make it to the grail. will the seniors???
realistically could any junior player or intermediate have a claim on the senior team? I know I know different codes etc, but i also remember the A and b divisions and some b division teams could give the A teams a good pasting.
North south east west divisions. jesus having to go to knockmore or crossmolina or lahadarne or parke or ballyhaunis and coming away with a win was hard.

fook it i miss playing.

Iam not saying it's a good thing but kkeane is not a full back he has no football brain nor the pace and if he doesn't win the ball first time his marker will have a field day

Is the team announced this evening or is it tomorrow

thomond2006 · 28-07-2016 12:06PM

Thanks. I might just buy 3 for the Hogan, just to be safe.

thomond2006 · 28-07-2016 03:47PM

Cusack stand tickets went up, got 3.

naughto · 29-07-2016 11:56AM

Looking at the fixtures if and when we beat Westmeath we play Tyrone on the sat the 6 at 4oclock and the dubs play on the same day at 6. It will be hard get a ticket if u don't have a season one for that game. The hurling semifinal is on the Sunday the 7 th

Potentially Mayo, Tyrone, Dublin; Donegal all on the same day could be a sell out. There was 58,000 last year for QF's involving Dublin, Fermanagh, Kerry; Kildare.
I wonder will tickets go on general sale straight after Mayo Westmeath game?

So those teams in the semis will snap up tickets already.
