Season Ticket email is out and no mention of a truck in associated weblink. Just says to present at the turnstile with your card.

Mayo Club 51 · 03-02-2017 11:45AM

You just need to scan your season ticket as normal at MacHale Park. Make sure its between stiles 1-8 or else your attendance will not be recorded!

That is sad, not bad

They aren't actually...

You are chasing around the board after a guy who simply made some fairly straightforward observations on financial doping in our national sport. You don't want to engage in discussion on a topic with him, it is just the guy himself you are after, and his county of course.

What does that say about you?

Yes saw that last night that Louth v Laois and Down v Fermanagh were their featured games, was not too worried as will be at the Mayo game but found it odd none the less.

Edit : Only see the HD one now

I was wondering the exact same,Brendan Harrison is injured.

Westport lads are club tied,still no sign of Ger Caff,still is he likely to give David Kenny or Donie Newcombe the role?

Might well be a short on match practice zippy will get the job.

Strong team for the first round of league.

naughto · 03-02-2017 10:57PM

I'd call it a weak team with a lot of unknowns ya need to win your home games.

Out of interest, when was the last time the team didn't have an O'Shea starting (apart from FBD)?

I Wouldn't call that a weak Mayo team or a lot of unknowns. Newcombe,Kirby,Boland the only 3 of that team that didn't play championship football for Mayo.

I have a feeling this game will end in a draw and even with dropping a point in this home fixture i don't expect Mayo to be in relegation battle like they were last year.

RD10 · 04-02-2017 12:03AM

i think alan freeman needs to really push himself and have a good league campaign this year to really prove his worth.
will also be interesting to see how the backs do.

Think I counted 8 starters from last years all Ireland final. Then you've players like coen and regan who seemed to be close to that team. Freeman who has been around a few years. For round 1 of league, it's seems a strong team - you often have a lot of players missing this time of year due to niggles, club involvement etc. I think this time last year, Mayo were missing a load of players in comparison,

seligehgit · 04-02-2017 01:36AM

I really hope Donie Newcombe,Danny Kirby and Fergal Boland give a good account of themselves.No harm in lots of good old competition amongst the ranks so nobody gets too comfortable.

They deserve this opportunity based on their FBD performances.

seligehgit · 04-02-2017 02:17AM

Shane Nally is very unlucky to lose out as he was excellent in the FBD league.

Full back line with a newcomer, a corner back at full back and a wing back at corner back.

An inexperienced wing back in Drake and a guy who has been shuffled around a bit in Coen at half back.

A new midfielder in Kirby.

Forwards look strong, admittedly.

So over all a pretty mixed bag, lots of big game experience but also lots of guys out of position and some newcomers.

Pretty much exactly what you want in the league. You want to look at a few new guys while playing a good few from last years team.

Merciful hour some amount of rain dropped from the skies last night.

Kirby is not a county player I'd put him in the same league as O'Shea strong as an ox put no football in him.

Bonniedog · 04-02-2017 01:18PM

Did the O'Sheas drop themselves, or was there a vote :-)

He has had loads of chances and has failed every time to step up in the last few years. Extremely disappointed in him as I thought he had the makings to be a cracking footballer but I am not sure if he likes the hits he will get at inter county football and this in turn is holding him back.

Yes it's the area of physicality that he's fell down on.For a physically imposing footballer with all the necessary attributes he's less inclined compete for the dirty ball.

Yes spot on. Its all nice and dandy today for him and he may play very well but come the serious teams.. its a different story. It really is a shame as he has all the attributes as you say.
