Galway team named. Would be inclined to hold out till 4 on Sunday to wait and see with that one though. Tom Flynn and Armstrong look dubious inclusions

Kerin is included and brannigan misses out, however.

Sean kelly extremely unlucky. GOD, Bradshaw and Sweeney wouldn't strike fear in any half forward line

I can't see Flynn or Armstrong starting?

Yeah surely, Cooke and Sean kelly to come in? Or Michael Daly? Too soon for Ian Burke you'd think..

I know this was discussed lately but can someone tell me what the current caapacity of McHale Park is?

28,000 for this game

Eh, not over my head thanks. I'd prefer to see the game. Hope the officials have the sense not to allow that up inside the ground.

Nothing more irritating than some narcissist(s) deciding that match day would not be complete without half acre banner being distributed around the ground. At least you don't have to put up with Hamas flags (same colour I know!) and rounds of applause at 4:15 for someone's granny's Jack Russell kicking the bucket at the ripe old age of 15.

It mightn't be to everyone's taste but I actually agree with the Cafferkey call if he does start (this team does look like it's a legit one though)

For once we have to hit a Championship all guns blazing and I think we'll need all the experience we can get.

The alternatives are Caolan Crowe who has never started a championship game, and Harrison, vaughan and barrett are likely nowhere near full match fitness for a high-octane match like this

Very fair team overall for me. I would expect Coen to hold the middle and Boyler to wing. I can see Higgins sitting in front of, or even directly marking, Comer

Not sure about Caff, he was not good in the league, looked well off the pace and he was easily turned on as well but maybe his fitness was well off the mark so who knows

Delighted Loftus is getting the nod.

PARlance · 10-05-2018 05:39PM

I'll go with one change to that. Crowe in for Caff. It's the one position that you would want them to be second guessing and Rochford (along with everyone else) has form.

I'm a little surprised to see Loftus start, I'll go for that as the second change. If it's going to be high octane stuff from the start, I'd be inclined to put someone else in to that the heat.

Bunny Colvin · 10-05-2018 05:52PM

Lotus has earned the start with his performance in Ballybofey imo. Hopefully he can have a big impact this summer.

Why only 28K ? isn't capacity closer to 40k?

Thats the capacity allowed by health and safety. There were crowds of around 35,000 there in the past

I could see Comer having a field day with caff in there

I agree, would love to see him taking some of the pressure off Cillian with the frees.

Itd be manna if Cafferkey goes in on Comer but can't see it happening! Is Barrett close to coming back? If he's close he'll surely start on Comer?

Agreed. Think he got 5 frees against Donegal? Lotus is definitely good enough but we need him to start games and really nail down a place in the team.

eastmayo · 10-05-2018 08:55PM

seligehgit · 10-05-2018 09:03PM

Nice catch Flasher I wouldn't have recognised him.A very youthful Fergal.

Fair play to Horan, I think this lad is coming across like a right tit since he retired

He has been bitter since he got himself sent off against us. Seems to be a cultural thing

I read somewhere that Keegan was the only player that was definitely out for the Galway game.

So I'd not be one bit surprised if Vaughan or Barrett came in for Cafferkey before the throw in.

Ah, so ****ing what. Ex players making a few bob in the media, they're paid for their opinions, good luck to them. We have to do it on here for nothing.:mad:

It wont happen. Mayo will look at Dublin. Dublin were in trouble with him early on. Then, they double marked him and mostly curtailed him after that. Mayo will double mark him from the start. The question is who they will get to do this....They could spring a surprise and revert to the McLoughlin sweeper system to achieve it.

making a few bob at talking sh1t and if he is ...well then he is open to criticism either on here or where ever. I am more impressed with Horan... he will call guys like him out for this.

Like Yop said, it's because he got the line and Mayo have the edge over them.
