COC deservered his red, its been coming. He needs to sit out for a while, get this head and boots back. DOC was a yellow and deserved them both. Galway were as equal on the cynical side, but were better at doing it out of sight, part of the game, if Mayo did I more I wouldn't complain, so not going to start now. AOS had a good game, fought well, took a lot of abuse, how he doesn't explode is admirable. Durkan ran a lot but was up against blanket defense so didn't make much headway. We had plan A and that was about it, ran into a wall and couldn't handle it and thats a pattern for a number of years now. Good to see new lads blooded, has to be done. Caff is end of days now, can't see what he brings to the team, though it says a lot for what is in the squad also. Better team won, won it at all costs, thats what you have to do. Maybe will need to get a result in Kildare and win in Tyrone. Donegal win away isn't going to be happening I expect. Dublin will canter against us unless we have a big transplant. The "loss" of COC will be interesting, I expect us to possible play better and not funnel it all through him now, could be wrong.

We have 6 1st team players I think it is to come back it will totally change the team, we are so off the pace it’s frightening but may we will be a different team. Koc has to have the capacity taking off him not just for the sh1te he was at today but it’s effecting his game his free taking is gone to the dogs his,it’s like he’s thinking to much and trying to play in every position but the one he’s sapose to be in.

seligehgit wrote: » Ah I'm not for moment suggesting it's solely down to the captaincy.He just seems to be having a long term dip in form. He's too good a player not to turn it around. He became captain in 2016 and took over from Keith Higgins.

RockyRory wrote: » As a Meath man watching it on tg4 I thought mayo were a disgrace. Theyre like the greyhound that’s turned its head. Too much baggage too much mileage. Galway have now got a huge psychological hold over mayo. Mayo have no forwards and no new players coming through. The end is nigh for this mayo squad. Galway aren’t world beaters but will be a tough team for anybody to face in the championship bar the dubs. 3 top class forwards in comer , Brannigan and Walsh.

TCDStudent1 wrote: On the other hand, Galway were missing the Corofin lads & Michael Daly. Maybe 3 starters in May. From today, probably 5 out of Galways 6 backs will start & 4 out of their 6 forwards.

Hopefully another good run, but there are serious miles in those legs. You can’t but admire how they pick themselves up each year an go again. Morans season last year will be hard to repeat. AA
