The draws were against very average teams and came from dominant positions where they let teams back in. This mayo team has played to 110% of its ability at times in the past to reach finals and that's a credit to them but Mayo's 110% is 90% of what is needed to win an all Ireland. Unfortunately Mayo are now at about 85% of themselves and way short of an all Ireland challenge this year!!

However that wasn't the case for plenty of other supporters which is an absolute shame. As for the match, we will beat Roscommon next week but that will be about it. The team seems so jaded, it's hard to see where the energy is going to come from, surely the lure of a Kerry team waiting for them can do that? Unfortunately Rochford doesn't seem to be up to the task and his continuation with Caff is absolutely mind-boggling. Absolutely mind-boggling. It's a shame that Kevin Keane is injured as this could have been his year. Not the fastest but a definite improvement on Cafferkey. I'm saying I'm not going to travel but I know I will.

He thinks they are playing Tyrone or someone from that side of the draw next. Seriously poor from a national journalist. I have children under the age of 8 who knew that the winners of the two games on Sunday play each other next.

My 3 & 4 year old know Kerry lie await. The missus being a cute whore herself has been trying to poach at least one. My 3 yo son put her in her place fairly lively

But let's be honest this isn't new behaviour from Roscommon fans. I'll never forget a young Cillian O'Connor getting horrific booing in the 2011 Connacht Final taking frees and I'll also never forget the digs and abuse I took that day in the terrace in the Hyde and in 2014 too. Classless supporters and always appear to have been IMO. And it deserves to be pointed out. Kerry / Cork, Mayo / Galway, Limerick / Clare. There are them and many more great GAA rivalries but none of them games are marred the way Roscommon fans manage to do by just behaving unsportingly and really against the ethos of the GAA. As a Mayo man I obviously want us to win the replay, and I like McStay. But for them Roscommon fans showing up their county and our province with their sh*te, well I hope we fcking batter them and Andy Moran hits a hat trick. Classless.

Rochford decided having no FB was better than playing him FB. We lost the AI replay by a point so we wwnt fairly welll His enforced abscence through injury seems to have improved him no end on some people's eyes .......abscence makes the heart grow fonder and all that At least people have stopped calling for Stephen Coen to be thrown in at FB

Keegan knows how to score, there's 2 or 3 new defenders in the Mayo squad and zero forwards. For example McLoughlan was a sweeper last year and not bad either by the end of the session, he's a passenger at half-forward imo. Give it a lash change it up. Try something different at no 3 and give Keegan a shot at being a legend. And Corny dont get to cocky, you'd still start Ger Black Card Brennan at 6 for us if you had the chance! That was your call though.

It's purely focused on the Mayo games but I know a few from outside like to listening in too. It was in last Friday's podcast when McHale proclaimed himself the greatest coach of all time

They are doing 2 shows a week these days the way the games are coming thick and fast. Did you listen to Terrace Talk last night ? I have always felt a certain amount of nervousness from Kerry media contributors with regards to Mayo "still hanging around" Regardless of how Mayo are stumbling they seem to we wary of the fact they are still in it. I'd imagine many would like to see them off the stage long ago and with them the possibility of a Kerry v Mayo SF

Its the same old sh*te about trying to find reasons why McStay/McHale shouldn't manage the Mayo team. Its got to the stage now where some people would prefer a hopeless manager to manage Mayo rather than a good one, because the good one might be a bit c*cky. Its all to do with ability, not who said what when or how big their boasts are. Sometimes I despair with Mayo football and a large section of its followers who seem pretty clueless about the direction Mayo football should go in.
