Yeah Vaughan, sos, Horan picking up where he left off, or even setting the clock back to 2012.

Typical Rochford.Oh wait...........be intersting to see how Brian Reape goes. Every year he wasn't selected by various different managers he got better in some people's eyes

seligehgit · 04-01-2019 11:53PM

Very surprised to see next to any of the more seasoned campaigners togging out on Sunday.

A case of back to the future.

Liking the touch of experimentation up front.

Just like Richie did.

Card was very much favoured by Horan under his previous reign. Now Card has got older but pretty much no other full back has stepped forward.

Is Crowe currently on the panel?

Reape only turned 22 last month, he's still a work in progress. Nobody is suggesting he's a hybrid of Andy Moran and David Clifford but we are entitled to question why he didn't even make the 35 man panel for the last 2 years.

That's based purely on performances underage and with his club.

I'm fairly sure he's still on the panel. Would like to see him get a run at full back this year.

Its fine this time of the year with Hennelly but once Clarke is back then he is relegated to the bench. He is just a disaster under high ball.

Unless Caf has got some pace back, I don't see why he is there as well but it is really early days.

Nice to see some new faces in the forward line.

kippy · 05-01-2019 08:05PM

Standard first game of the year line up.
Nothing to see here really.

seligehgit · 05-01-2019 08:37PM

Will be interested in all and sundries feedback from the game re the new experimental rules,outside of the handpass rule I'd be hopeful the others are implementable with lots of assistance by diligent linesmen.Will we see more of an emphasis on good old fashioned high fielding in midfield,a return to the totem pole inside forwards or a reversion to blanket defences,lip service to a more direct game with greater footpassing and lower scoring borefests evidenced by albeit limited data available thus far.I'm hopeful the good intentions of all concerned in the rule changes may be vindicated if given a chance to bed in.

muddle84 · 05-01-2019 10:53PM

Cant make it tomorrow sadly. Is it televised at all or are mayo tv about? I know mid west is covering it but just wondering is there any visual options

Mayo GAA TV only cover club fixtures.

PARlance · 06-01-2019 03:16PM

Listening on MidWest, sounds like a decent start. A bit loose at the back but some decent forward work in the main... Evan Regan sounds like he's playing like Evan Regan though.

Always_Running · 06-01-2019 03:21PM

Dean McGovern at full forward marked by Caff is the stand out player for Leitrim going by mid west radio.

Friend in work has a nephew on the Monaghan inter-county panel and one thing he's noticed that's been highlighted with the handpass rule is the atrocious standard of the kick passing skills of many modern footballers. We've raised a generation of superfit athletes but some of the basic skills have been sadly neglected too.

km79 · 06-01-2019 03:58PM

Terrible second half

This is what makes Dublin stand out from the crowd. Their kick passing is exemplary.

Whats the score? Ta.

Loafing Oaf · 06-01-2019 04:17PM

Gone to a penalty shootout

which Mayo won, sparing blushes all round

happyoutscan · 06-01-2019 04:21PM

With all due respect we shouldn't be allowing a team like Leitrim to rack up that many scores against us.

Its thd fbd league. We won. There seemed to be alot of good performances from the new names which i imagine is the goal.

Lukekul · 06-01-2019 04:49PM

Was it my imagination or did the Leitrim lad who kicked the equaliser not just get a red card immediately beforehand?

Commentators on Midwest seemed to think so, though they put out a theory right was using a wallet that made it look like a red from the other side when a yellow was shown. Who knows.

Going by radio coverage he was involved in that score yes. He was walking to the sideline when he turned around and just started playing again. Mad carry on altogether.
A really blatant disregard for the game and the referee.

Yeah he seemed like he was walking off with the head down, got a shout for a pass and carried on!

seligehgit · 06-01-2019 08:34PM

Good resume of the background to that contentious equaliser.

Out next Sunday in the semi final v Galway in Tuam.

Might be a tricky fixture to navigate as the Club All Star awards are on next Saturday night.

'Club All-Star Awards...???
I've definitely heard it all now.
What genius thought up this idea.?

boosabum · 06-01-2019 09:48PM

The mayo news about 10 or more years ago.
Awards for best club players and it's is a good idea.

So you think it's odd that a county has an awards night to honour and recognise club players ?
