Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 3

We've seen some horror shows in recent times trying to break down a blanket defence in Castlebar. It'd be nice to go out and get a solid early lead for a change.

Very true. It is the first kick to the blanket system and forces a team that lives on this system to play a bit more open and makes them more vulnerable. This is really important that we do this in May.

There'll be no forays up the pitch by Niall Morgan for free taking duties.Mickey O Neill is the custodian for the Red Hand tomorrow.

Fr Tod Umptious · 17-03-2018 07:59PM

Do Tyrone still rely on a blanket defence ?

I thought the 2017 SF v Dublin would have thought them once and for all that ultra defensive v good teams will never work

It's the one on recent times that got away
We just didn't turn up early doors

It has been a recurring problem over the years for Mayo.
That Donegal 2012 team, the way they played, 7 points up they were not going to be caught.
Mayo needed to get in front early on and make Donegal chase the game.
Leaving Michael Murphy 1 on 1 so early was never going to achieve that. Not with his sheer physical power.

If you can put enough pressure on them coming out of defense they have no one to kick too, but if you let them run the ball they transition at speed and can be lethal.

Ara they conceded an early goal and never got going after that. Sh1t happens

They're overrated but they're a better side than that day, and they'll still take a bit of beating

If Hennelly starts tomorrow....,.

Or Hennerkey combo....

reap-a-rat · 17-03-2018 10:09PM

Is there any other game on before the match tomorrow in MacHale Park?

They will have no problems under the high ball into the square unless Mickey Harte introduces someone new.
Tyrone have no one to hit high ball into.
They will probably look to take Cafferkey on a tour of the park though.

finisklin · 17-03-2018 11:03PM

With Hennelly starting in his 3rd successive game, management could be looking to championship and long kick outs. The latter are not fortes of Clarkes and while gaining this we are losing an incredible shot stopper.

Giving some of Hennellys previous gaffes, there is an element of risk. This is what probably cost us the 2016 final. What we gain, well time will tell.

Tyrone tomorrow will be difficult and we struggle agin a blanket. Ball carriers so have to be tip top with Keegan and Boyle leading charge. This game would suit Higgins and his style of holding onto the ball effortless. That may be a regret tomorrow night.

Looking forward to it regardless as Tyrone will want to dish out some payback over quarters last year.

I am on edge when I see high balls going into the square with hennelly in there regardless of how tall the opposition are....

Not going well in McHale Pk. Tyrone 5-1 up and COC off with an injury.

Squatman · 18-03-2018 03:24PM

Nope.

Mayo hurling Div 2B champions. Beat Down 1-15 to 0-14. Keith Higgins playing for them.

Kristopherus · 18-03-2018 03:33PM

Magnificent win by the Mayo hurlers in the final of Div 2B of the Allianz League v Down. They have turned that heavy defeat of last Sunday into a 1-15 to 0-14 victory.

Well done lads.

18-03-2018 03:34PM

7-1 down now. Colm Boyle sent off and down to 14 men. 2 yellows. Tyrone now at 14 too. Straight red for McNulty.

18-03-2018 03:52PM

HT. Tyrone up by 8 to 3. Leeroy off with an injury too. Hopefully not serious.

Martina1991 · 18-03-2018 03:54PM

Has it been a dirty game or is the ref losing control?

‘Niggly’ according to Midwest radio commentary. Goal for tyrone. 1-8 to 0-4 up now.

18-03-2018 04:21PM

1-11 to 0-4. This game is done I think. Up to Ballybofey in an attempt to preserve div 1 status next weekend. Donegal currently losing to Monaghan.

18-03-2018 04:31PM

1-14 to 0-6. About 10 mins left.

franklyon · 18-03-2018 04:46PM

More concerned about the injuries than the result.

Duffy the Vampire Slayer · 18-03-2018 05:34PM

I'm glad that wasn't on TV.

Fowler87 · 18-03-2018 05:37PM

Mayo like a bad club team today. It was a hard watch in Baltic conditions.

So many unforced errors throughout with no sign of a logical game plan compared to the impressive Tyrone side. Fair play to them, it looks they have learned lessons from last season can rightly be considered proper contenders this year.

Martina1991 · 18-03-2018 05:43PM

Winner takes all next week so against Donegal.

I hope Cillian and Lee don't have serious knocks.

More concerned about a lack of a gameplan than injuries or the result. Left 10 mins early, couldn't watch that muck tbh. Clueless in attack, spineless in defence.

Tyrone are a well drilled side and very strong in the tackle. Men against boys today.
