Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 3

As Bjork once said "It's oh so quiet".

But think about it, if Mayo keep winning then there will be loads to talk about almost non stop from Saturday until at least August Bank holiday.

Can't wait.

A heatwave.

Buzzing for this one.

There seems to have been a bit of a shift in Westport and Ballina. Purely anecdotal, but all the good young Covies seem to be opting for GAA now (for a good few years) whereas Ballina are doing very well in the soccerball with a very talented young team. (Ballina were always pretty strong in football, the switch with the young Covies is much more noticeable).

Rugby is also very popular in Ballina and have a very good team

When was the last time that Ballina produced a good county underage player? Evan Regan in 2011 is the last I remember. There must be talent going to waste there you'd think.

Plenty of celebratory bottles of Clonmel Champagne for the travelling contingent hopefully.

Sean Regan was a decent footballer as well.

Besides the trip to Tipp,great to see the great Ciaran McDonald and Micky Conroy involved in the under 20 setup.

Tough for young Oisin Mullins.

All Ireland semi final v Derry/Armagh.Lots of the orchard county lads likely to be suspended.

Might provide the Rice College brigade an opportunity to right the wrongs of the colleges A final.

Shrewd move by James Horan to manage the covies with the crazy amount of talent feeding through.There is going to be many a county title heading to Westport me thinks.

So much to be positive about with the likes of Ryan O Donughue,Ross Egan,Tommy "goals" Conroy,Paul Lambert(brother Pat),Oisin McLoughlin,Colm Moran and the many other Westport lads.All credit to all involved.

Snugboro vs Achill... missing it isn't really an option when you're in charge. I could get them all down there for 5pm though... but they'd be half cut come kick-off.

He's not for turning. Mayo father, Kerry mother, born in Dublin... I've done my bit, the rest is up to him.

What soccerball game thing are you going watching at 7pm in Achill on Saturday?

So are we all set for the trip to Tipp??

It's about a 45 min drive for me so no excuses on that front....have been working hard to convince my 5 year old for the past few days that Mayo football is the best thing in the universe. Have him bribed now with the promise of a Mayo flag and chips :-)

It'll be the radio for me unfortunately. A drive down to Achill for a 7pm kick-off means that'll have to do me.

I've no such troubles with the young lad however. Once we got them out of Dublin a couple of years ago, we began the intensive cleansing (brain washing) straight away. He sings the Green and Red nearly every day... I nearly wish I was joking. His hatred of the Dubs isn't healthy for a lad who has just gone 4... but sure, would you have it any other way.

I know. I've to leave Castlebar at 5pm, to be in Achill for 6pm, for a 7pm kick-off for myself.

This game is on sky so those of us that partake in unoffical streaming should be able to find it easy enough.

If he's any good he'll switch back they all do.

PARlance Grealish.

Haha....nothing wrong with an irrational hatred of Dubs....will serve him well no matter what he does :-)

I'm ok with him following Limerick hurling (they're probably the nearest thing to Mayo in terms of hurling anyway) but Mayo football will be rammed up there as well if I have anything to do with it

Great win by the U20. Some fine young players there. I'd say Horan is delighted with that crop coming through.

Rossies will be kicking themselves, threw it away.

And ye lot have been beaten by that shower three years in a row?

WTF ????

Your long enough here to know the script.

Mayo lose to Galway.
Mayo play qualifiers.
Galway exit meekly.
Mayo lose final by point.

Oh and Dublin win, and win, and win.

2 wing backs were very impressive today. That Lambert guy looks very good. Also, the number 24 (can't remember name, from Lahardane) was excellent. O'Donoghue looks skillful but does amount of mouthing at his team-mates when they mess up!

There are a good few from Westport. I am sure Horan is delighted to see this but I guess he had it well analyzed before he took the senior job.
