Watched it again last night. We turned the ball over on their '45 something fierce. Need to eradicate that & pick better options

Harrison possibly? Also Higgins will definitely get one, despite mixed opinions.

Harrison could sneak one indeed, having an excellent year particularly at the business end.

Higgins probably needs a MOTM performance or close to it to get back in the hunt.

The Talking Bread · 29-09-2016 11:52AM

Higgins is 1/10 on to get one. Bookies rarely would get such a declaration of confidence wrong. I'd go as far as saying Harrison, cooper and Higgins over PM but first 2 are guaranteed for sure

I was glad to hear his assessment of SO'S even though I thought he went a little OTT describing his first half performance as excellent. I thought he had a good first half followed by a nightmare 5 mins where he made 2 massive mistakes at an important time... Doherty was flat footed for the 3rd mistake that SO'S got nailed for.

The calls for him to be dropped were harsh imo, harsh but understandable.

Yes he was OTT about him being excellent but I certainly thought after re-watching the game that the 4 minutes between 47 and 51 when he gave away the ball 4 times were an not indictive (is that a word?) of his performance to that point

As I said a few weeks back, he seemed to run out of steam both physically and mentally about 10 mins into the second half

The Championship Ends Here, this has just over 5,000 views and half of them are probably from me.

Ahh Sigur Ros! Only saw them recently!!!! They should have had that video at the concert though!

PARlance · 29-09-2016 03:32PM

2 weeks is too long to wait. Too much time on some people's hands. I had to laugh at this video though. How can 1 ref handle all this.

homewardbound11 · 29-09-2016 09:27PM

Gutted here with no tickets . Failing to get one for either myself or my little fella . A bit worthless but putting this post out anyways .

Tonight and tomorrow after the clubs have actually physically distributed their tickets is the time to step up the hunt

Audioslaven · 29-09-2016 10:45PM

tickets have a habit of coming out the day before. Keep the head up and you never know.

The Talking Bread · 29-09-2016 10:50PM

I know a guy who may be able to do something on the ticket stakes..........

Nice one, great work. Do you have the full audio file for that Brady interview. I'd love a listen back if you have it.

I reckon there will be one. No idea what but I'd put my house on Rochford changing something up.

Hopefully that's enough to keep the Dubs silent.

PhoneMain · 30-09-2016 02:52PM

Anyone reckon Coen might get a decent run the next day? Prob one of our most mobile midfielders (if he comes on in midfield).

I'm thinking something crazy like Barry Moran with Aidan up top from the start if the weather is dry. Hopefully rattle them early and grab a goal. Won't be easy marking the two of them.

Coen or Drake to be added later on to midfield if needed. What height is Drake actually?

PhoneMain · 30-09-2016 03:31PM

About 6-1 or 6-2 I reckon, he's in Andy's gym in Castlebar and doesn't seem very tall. It'd be good to see the twin towers inside tomorrow actually, hopefully with some decent ball going in tho!

Isn't Drake more of a defender?

Drake's a half back alright

PressRun · 30-09-2016 04:14PM

I don't see any changes from that, tbh. Coen might come in later after Seamie runs out of steam.

Same as that
Seamus may have a shorter leash this week

Doesn't matter, if you're over 6ft you're worthy of mention in a system that rarely works.

You need fresh players for the last 15 mins Moran to come on then to help out in the forward line.
You don't start your best team you finished with it

I would be off the opinion, especially in an AI final, if you don`t start your best team it could be all over no matter who you bring on in the last 15 mins.

I'd agree with that but I don't think Seamie is the best we have to partner Parsons. I think he is an honest grafter, he won't shirk and he'll run himself into the ground but his basic skills are limited.
His passing, whether by hand or foot, was atrocious the last day and I don't see any chance that he will be able to do better tomorrow.

Tbh, no harm to the lad, he gives his all, but from his performances this year, and especially 2nd half last day if it was me I would have doubts about starting him as well.
