I though a '45' shootout was the chosen means of splitting teams in these circumstances.

So did I until yesterday, and cannot see why that wasn`t the case.

Still, I`m sure it will find favour with some of our media "experts" who will not be happy until they turn the game into a namby pamby soccer sister sport.

I knew they trialled it in the States but never knew proper football leagues also did it

It was just a pre-season friendly tournament.

I heard on Radio 1 this evening that both games will throw-in at 1.30pm

But there was no mention of any kick-off time so I can't help you there

Clearly, he's on the wrong thread and is talking about the Galway United game....

I agree, they know well there's no internet in Mayo. Galway are always pulling fast ones!

Obviously very important to win Connacht

Allows you to play Dublin early and avoid them in s SF

Does it really matter if you meet them in a final or a semi final? Are they going to be easier to beat in a final than a semi?

grbear · 10-01-2019 10:55AM

Hey folks,

How much were tickets for the Mayo-Leitrim game last weekend? Was it it €15 at the gate like this weekend's Galway match?

Or a tenner in advance in Supervalu. Kids free, OFC.

€10 I paid at the ticket van in Carrick. Bought a ticket for this Sunday in supervalu on Tuesday, will be €15 on the day

grbear · 10-01-2019 01:13PM

Thanks for the replies. I understand that there'll be a bit of extra interest given the spiciness of last year's fixture and the return of Horan but €15 seems a little greedy for what's still a preseason match. I'm sure they'll get a solid crowd for it though.

Supply and demand! I'd be expecting about 6K maybe 7K there.

Plus first time in a long time going into a season where Galway are indisputably higher up the pecking order than us...

Oh I think it is.

Last year’s performances notwithstanding and barring major injuries Mayo are still one of the top teams in the country if not one of the top 2 teams in the country.

Since Donegal beat Dublin in 2014 Mayo have really been the only team that have been consistently competitive against Dublin in the championship.

Getting to a final is always better than getting to a semi-final, so one would always want the easier route to the final, and that easier route involves not playing Dublin in the SF.

Plus you play then in the group stages which will give some sort of basis for analysis for a future meeting (for both teams obviously)

Now of course the next few months could show us that Mayo are in terminal decline and if so so be it, but if not then winning Connacht again brings a very big reward this year.

Its hard to say Mayo are in the top 4 let along the 2 in the country based on last year and that is all we have to work on really.

But with regard to your other points I agree getting a game against them in the super 8's is a benefit without doubt. But is your reasoning for saying final is better than final quite simply that its a final?

My take on it is to win an all ireland you are more than likely going to have to beat dublin in a knockout game, either final or semi final. The only justification i can think of for saying a final is better than a final is that we will need to throw everything we have at dublin with a bit of luck to beat them. If that is in a semi final then we might not have enough left to beat whoever is the finalist two weeks after leaving absolutely everything on the pitch.

But we might be getting a bit ahead of ourselves so maybe better to start with this. I would love to see us beat Galway and win the FBD league.

Ah FFS lads, we've only played our first game of the season and needed a penalty shootout to beat Leitrim - I know it's early days yet and we'll be a completely different outfit come summer, but let's concentrate on Galway this Sunday and the National League before talking about AI semis and finals, eh?

ureds · 10-01-2019 11:51PM

Any ideas on where are good car parking spots that's handy for
journey back to Mayo afterwards?

Park at the Cathedral and walk around. Unfortunately it is not unusual for cars to be broken into when parked near the stadium. I've heard of windows being smashed at club games aswell as oounty games at this venue.

That's true.
The leaking of goals last Sunday would give you concern, but then again hopefully not.
