Talk of throwing in an inexperienced senior player into a specialist position he doesn't play at the quarter final stage is nonsense
It will not and should not happen

Again I'd be questioning the protection the sweeper Higgins gave the full back
Higgins doesn't se to want to mark or defend anymore and I think he is becoming a problem

Agree with all of this.

Higgins is not a sweeper. Never was. Never will be.

Thank god I watched the game back and didn't rely on the Sunday game "coverage " and "analysis "

All the pissing and moaning about Sky
They do it right
RThad it all their own way for years so you would assume they would have stepped up tbeir game when challenged
But no they just came out moaning

It's the first game I've watched back on sky as I go to them alll anyway and it's light years ahead
They ANALYZE instead of throwing out the same auld ****e

Although RTchanged tack tonight
After moaning about our lack of forwards and marquee forwards
They decided to completely ignore our proficiency and a performance for the ages from Cillian to tear Caff apart

To be fair to O'shea and Brolly, they raised valid concerns about us esp Caff. He has been very loose all year. I don't care about previous games to this season but against Galway, Derry and Cork yesterday he has been very loose but he is just back from injury and it is probably too early for him.

Bunny Colvin · 23-07-2017 11:57PM

Thought it was a bit much bringing up clips of Cafferkey from 3/4 years back. He was injured when Kerry got that goal to draw the semi final in 2014 and Hennelly hardly covered himself in glory for Brogan's goal in 2013.

Yes but they Completley ignored all the positives around our forward play as it doesn't **** their narrative
Anyway it's piss poor "analysis " as usual

I've no sympathy for them losing games to sky
Another dig from Brolly about that tonight

How about they just try and improve their own coverage !

While I agree that it may not be a great place to put him, I think Coen has the balls to do it, he seems a very solid unflustered player. He was captain of that U21 team and showed a lot of leadership.

If Caff remains we will be here this day week watching his arse wiped off the grass. He is a 100% liability at the moment and that is only going to get worse.

Agree on Higgins, way out of sorts and off the pace. Something which hasn't been said much on main stream.

He isn't a full back though
It's probably the most specialist position
Sure if it was just a case of throwing a big lad in we have had plenty of options

I think move back to last years system or donie
And I'd lean towards a blend of both tbh!

Higgins is fast becoming a liability which is sad to say

With his pace and the fact he is no longer offering as much defensively I think he should be one of our impact subs

He was diabolical for that last 15 minutes

Definitely someone, anyone at this stage

Donie would do the job.

Ya its a pity to see that, legs seem to be going. But he loves croker, so lets see.

In fairness to them they did highlight the forwards, mentioned 21 scores from 24 chances or whatever, mentioned that 10 people scored and mentioned that in the past they have criticised Mayo's forwards.

22/26 which is a massive return. One of our best in a long time.

Focused on one negative
Didn't even say who got MOTM

If James o donoghue had played like that they would never have shut up about it

Anyway I'm looking forward to falling over the line again next weekend before the big ambush later in August

They generally don't give MOTM for games they don't show.

I agree with you that the analysis is very poor. Brolly never addresses the question he is asked. He was asked about Galway and then proceeded to talk about Donegal! Sky is way ahead of them. The hurling analysts on the Sunday game are also way ahead of their football counterparts

seligehgit · 24-07-2017 08:34AM

I'm of course going to be accused of bias given the result but I think Ciaran Brannigan did a very decent job officiating.Credit where credits due.

Yes you're entrapped up there,poor Zippy has'nt a chance.

Hard to understand how Danny Kirby has fallen so far down the call to arms order.He has offered more than either party when he got his limited championship action v Derry and Sligo if I can recall.He scored a corker under the stand against Derry.Tis strange.

when did he score it? alls i rememeber is him shooting one wide.

24-07-2017 09:47AM

Any word as to whether we are on at 2 or 4 yet?

statto25 · 24-07-2017 09:57AM

The CCCC are meeting today to decide. We should probably know by lunchtime

No they changed the time to TBC sat evening .........speculation is now that we are the 4pm game
Would probably make most sense as it would ensure a crowd for both games

I'm hoping for 2pm

2 would be ideal but I also think it will be at 4. Christ traffic is going to be unreal Sunday with the 3 Connacht teams. It'll be an early morning departure I'm thinking

Kristopherus · 24-07-2017 12:06PM

4.00pm confirmed, according to midwest radio.

NabyLadistheman · 24-07-2017 12:10PM

Thats a balls, 2 would have been ideal

yop · 24-07-2017 12:15PM

Might just wander it at 4.10, sure they'll delay the game for us...

Guaranteed a crowd when Mayo and Dublin play, so theyll always have us on at the later game. Otherwise if we were on at 2pm it would be empty for the 2nd half of the Gway and Kerry game.

24-07-2017 12:21PM

Updated now on the fixtures section of the GAA site. 4 o clock it is.
