It's ****e journalism yeah and also a ****e generalisation on the Irish print media

Ah come off it.

The Irish print media that is full of spoofers and connected eejits, much like out TV media outlets.
The Sunday Independent, one of our leading weekend papers, full of muppets like Brendan O'Connor, Eoghan Harris, etc.

The Irish Times has become a joke.

Granted there are some good journos, but the slant adopted by major papers has become very poor.

Anyway back to topic I think some people are pushing this story and are just waiting for Mayo to fail so that they can put the boot in.

Fr Tod Umptious · 24-08-2017 10:52AM

Pushing up on kick outs is the wonder drug of the modern game.

Apparently it's the answer to everything.

It's not, it takes a hell of a lot of effort and leaves space further out that can be exploited.

It can work for periods in a game and good teams use it for periods in games.

I thought Mayo did ok in this regard.

At one stage Brian Kelly was waving his arms around like a mad man waiting to take a kickout because Mayo had everyone covered.

If I recall in the second half of the drawn game in 2014 Mayo had him under pressure also, forcing him long when he did not want to.

Kerry have a slight goalkeeper problem. Breandan Keily would was sharing the starting role with Kelly over the last few years left the squad abruptly mid summer.

They have no experienced backup to Kelly.

having rewatched the match last night, i think mayo made a big mistake by not pushing up hard on Kerrys kickouts - they werent put under pressure at all, and if they were, i think we could have capitalised on them - he often kicked short uncontested kickouts, where had we pushed forwards, we could have intercepted

I think our press vs Kerry was a semi one. We never got close enough to really cut off the option but instead we seemed happy to apply pressure straight away once they got possession in the corners. I can see the merit in that even though I would like to see us pressing with real intent like Kerry did in the first half.

But it's a tough thing to keep going and can leave you open at the back.

My main concern around kickouts is that we didn't cope with them in the first half. Donaghy followed O'Shea the odd occasion he drifted, I'm sure he will do the same again. For our kickouts, I would like to see Aidan go out to HB line or midfield. If Donaghy follows him then we still have the long option but it also creates a lot of space for a quick short one.

Kelly was very steady on kickouts, as he has been since the start of the summer. 1 bad option where he kicked long to Murphy is all I can recall. There were a few longer kickouts lost but that was down to Moran and especially Maher being stuck to the bloody ground.

By the way, as you probably know Fr T, the sub-keeper Shane Ryan is very good, possibly better than Kelly given a bit of time. Having won a Minor All Ireland, he's well used to big occasions already.

Im not one for picking at refs, but after Reilly, I'd have genuinely taken anyone before Deegan. With my first preference being Gough.

He is forever giving harsh frees\cards against keegan, he is slow to give us fouls - with O'Connor and O'Shea in particular, seemingly needing to be fouled twice to get a free - while opponents tend to get the benefit of the doubt a bit quicker. I get the impression he doesn't seem to buy what mayo are selling in general, and tends to ref our games against top teams with that in the back of his head.

I'll predict that we will get nothing off him, particularly any big call, and Kerry will get a couple of soft ones at important times.

Not one for patting myself on the back, but that was proven fairly accurate last weekend...

I don't suppose anyone knows how many steps Colm Boyle took before he scored his goal do they?

Oh hi MayoAreMagic :pac:

I'm not one to tell someone that they shouldn't be patting themselves on the back but I don't think you should be patting yourself on the back.

He doesn't really buy Cillian's antics but I thought he was decent. If anything, we got off lightly. We should be going into this game without Vaughan. He was grand.

A Gooch-esque amount I'd say.

Ok, so that's less than a Jack McCaffrey and more than a Ryan McHugh

He has 3-14 from play. Gets fouled himself for a lot of the frees too.

joe35 · 24-08-2017 04:58PM

O shea worked alright on Sunday but he should push forward more when in possession. Make donaghy track him back similar to the way Philly mc played Cooper

He caught him clean with that strike too. The evidence was there on Monday. Great to see a player like Geaney stooping to that.

I counted 8, albeit some small step.

I counted 10 in the lead up to a kerry point -albeit some small steps too.

What did they say on the Sunday Game?

HA HA!

Updated Met Eireann forecast for tomorrow in the Dublin region.

Tomorrow Saturday will be a mainly dry,bright day with sunny spells at times with just a few well scattered light showers.Top tempatures 18-20 Celsius.

The wrong Geaney is out for tomorrow.:pac:
Michael,Paul's cousin.It appears pretty certain Walsh will take no part either.
