Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 3

I hate when Huggins marks from the front like that
Been lucky on many occasions
Cost a big goal today

Mayo for Sam 2019

Have you the hotel booked for september yet?

Not a contest that will go down in the higher echelons of the Mayo Galway rivalry.

A pretty poor spectacle not helped by the wintry conditions.

As James Horan mentioned we'd a shockingly high 30 plus possessions turned over.Our poor conversion rate with the aid of the wind cost us dearly.

Paddy Neilan failure to allow an advantage cost us a certain goal.

I'm disappointed alternatives to the already tried and tested Robert Hennelly,David Drake and Conor O Shea aren't been looked at.

Hennelly's kickouts are very inconsistent in terms of quality and it is long past time he ceased taking 45s etc.

Brian Reape,Conor Diskin showed glimpses of potential.There was much abdication of responsibility in taking on a shot.

We were very lucky Galway weren't out of sight with their numerous goal chances in the second half.

The handpass rule stunted any natural flow of the contest.It is certainly the rule most in need of abolition.

Dunno what David Drake needs to do to get a bit of credit. He was very good today and I'd definitely be starting him the next day out. Agree on Hennelly and O'Shea though. Why was Shlingermann brought in to the squad if he wasn't going to get a game?

Thought Reape did very well, as did McDonagh and Diskin. Boland didn't replicate last week's performance unfortunately and Loftus was poor aswell. McCormack did okay but probably not well enough to keep his place for the next game. Plunkett impressed me a lot. We were much more solid down the centre of the defence today and he was a big part of that.

They were way off the pace of dublin in every other line too in the semi final is my point. Nothing to do with youth. Anyway enough about Galway football on this thread.

Looking forward to seeing Diarmuid Oconnor in midfield again! Nice mix of experience and youth named!! Hopefully there isnt as many cards as last years fbd encounter

diarmuid oconnor always loses his head against Galway terrible penalty miss today.

The fact andy moran was playing shows how badly mayo wanted to win this

He came on as a sub. To get some gametime ahead of national league. Mayo are in the unusual position of having had the same rest other Connacht teams have been used to for years so expect much stronger league selections too

Would not be surprised if they become physical with opposing fans in the near future

Wish I had read this first before wasting time replying to previous post
They are out early this year .........

I was never a big fan of him but I thought he has found a proper position and he played well in my eyes today. It was the first time I was impressed by him.

Mayo supporters seem to be getting more soccer like with their behaviour, booing free takers etc, shame really starting to sound like Roscommon/millwall supporters!

roscommon/millwall :pac: ...."let them all come down to the hyde" would sound great on up for the match :P

Aside from the result great to see the new lads coming to the fore. Reape played very well, Diskin had a cracking game. 4 players who will challenge for a league position.
Thought Hennelly and Drake had good games, Hennelly needs to stop doing the 45's, conversion rate isn't high enough.
Great crowd there considering the state of that venue.

Be a cracking opening league tie against the Rossies.

And Galway GAA officials are more like the mafia.... I wonder if they declared the takings yesterday or will that too end up in a boot.

They could do with spending a few quid on the stadium or at least power wash the terrace as I seen a good few nearly fall with the level of moss crap around the place.

Should never have been there, like a 3rd world country up there. But its probably to appease the Tuam masses considering the issues which have occurred of late and the legal implications for the Galway GAA crew.

I would like to remind Galway posters that if you don't want to post constructively on this thread, you will be carded/banned.

TBF the consensus seems to be that David Drake played well,hopefully he will continue to build on his performance.His niche seems to be the full back line,played well there when called upon in the club championship.

I just thought on one or two occasions he undid some excellent work with needless turnovers.

Was Conor not invited on Seamies stag!

I think we should start the same 15 against Roscommon. I do agree that Slingerman should have been given a run though, his distribution should be excellent, but it will be a tight selection.

Drake had a v good game & Keith Higgins and Vaughan did a lot of donkey work. But will Donie ever learn? I think DOC was lucky not to get blacked as well the mood that ref was in. The amount of off the ball let away was very frustrating.
Taking off Drake was a poor decision at that stage in the game, I couldn't see that he was injured.

The county board have to give some matches to Tuam to try and help the DAFTS (Development Advocates For Tuam Stadium) committee in their fundraising efforts. If Tuam wasn't getting anything then it'd make the job of trying to raise a few quid for the stadium redevelopment work a lot harder. They've nearly completed phase 1 which should be done in time for the Kerry match in the league and I believe they are finalising plans for phase two now.

By all accounts or so I heard, its the hurling crew that have personal spending habits on behalf of Galway GAA.

Fair enough but I didn't witness any phase 1 as the state of it is unreal for a pitch to host county games.
One big plus for Tuam is that you can get out of it unlike the rabbit hole of pearse stadium.

I was talking to a Galway man pre the penalty man( a follower of both codes) and he made mention that the stand side was due to be developed.

And it is not every day an eagle eye umpire spots a ball crossing the line off the bar.
or spots anything at all
