Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

Hulk Hands

The comparison was silly. Walsh could be argued as the worst of those three and Mayo sacrificed their best player on Saturday to follow him everywhere. If Walsh jumped into the first row of concrete benches around the edge, Keegan would've hopped in beside him. Hardly conductive to getting easy space and ball

I wonder what those Carnacon teammates are thinking now. The brinkmanship blew up in their collective face. The one who was pulling them with her has retired after having a full GAA career. Can they say that they've equally achieved their potential?

Yes they made fools of themselves and brought a real divide to the team with accusations that could be interpreted in many forms.
They will understand the meaning of "thinking for oneself". It's not the end for some once a new manager comes in but they will have to wait. It's a harsh lesson for them but I don't have any sympathy for them.

Delighted to see the Mayo GAA post on Facebook re giving time to thank the fans. The supporters give up so much of their time, energy and finances to follow the team. Nice to see it’s appreciated. Very good performance overall in Kerry, think Aidan O’Shea and Ruane could be the way to go with Midfield. The forwards are still a concern for me though in a tight match come championship or against a blanket defence.

Has anyone had their season ticket attendance updated from Tralee yet?

Pity it ended the way it did, but she was a phenomenal talent. I think it's doubtful that the Mayo ladies scene will ever produce such a player again. One of the greatest women to ever play the game, and one the greatest players to come out of Mayo, surely.

I still think Horan should have played her!

Mod: crusier, do not post in this thread again.

That was a great win for us on Saturday. It was a decent contest but the better team on the night won, we looked more battle hardened and up for it. I felt Horan could have made some subs earlier with Keegan and Boyler coming in sooner. Ruane's goal was very well taken and came at the right time. Thankfully we held on despite some pressure at the end. What's the thoughts on the blue jersey? I said it reminded me of Dublin and Rangers too much but was a fan of it by full-time!

Looking at next week, Monaghan won't be an easy game but it could be worse. It's out of our hands regarding what Galway and Kerry do but at least Roscommon and Tyrone both have their games at home, with something to play for. Things have a habit of working out well for us during the last round of the league, hopefully that's the case on Sunday. It would be great to be back in a league final.

A new team will walk away this year with a league title and a large step taken in terms of progress. Anyone who cannot see that is fooling themselves. These opportunities don't come too often and there is no guarantee teams will always be in the top flight to win a title.

I’d expect Monaghan to beat us, they have something to play for where we have the chance to make the final, no matter how you try and get your head around it they have something tangible to play for and I think we’ll see that.

However, I’d be delighted if we did go to the final, a game in CP that’s not Dublin and a good chance at winning it, especially if it was Kerry in the final, beating them again would be a real boost for the summer, good to have them young lads used to seeing the green and red as a superior team

Winning is a great habit to breed. I hope they go all out to win every game they play between now and 1 September.

Can anyone here honestly say they think a league final win against Galway in Croke Park would be anything other than a huge boost going into Connacht, given recent history? Or putting a hotly tipped Kerry team to the sword again?

We have really struggled to beat Galway recently, especially with their defensive system.
So I'd not be too confident of winning.
Another game v them may help in trying to solve that.

I watched the match v Kerry back after being at it on Saturday.
Should have won by much more.
Wasted a lot of opportunities in the second half.
I'd say Mayo would have the beating of them again in a final.

Win the league and its a huge conference boost.

Lets not win something attitude of some fans amazes me.

Personally, I couldn't give a toss about getting to a league final or winning it. Let's face facts, they could win the league and a Connacht title but if they come up short in the summer again, nobody will care about either title and the year will be regarded as a failure and quickly forgotten about. The reality is that it's Sam or bust. Nothing else matters.

A National League and Connacht title double would make 2019 Mayo's most successful season since 1951. That's an indisputable fact when you look at Mayo's list of honours.

FFS, if we won the league and Connacht Championship that would be an excellent season.

The more games the bigger the chance of injury we can’t afford to loose any big players

Injuries can happen in training so that's no excuse. If we don't reach the league final, players will be playing a club league game anyway.

Beat Monaghan and win the league.

Get some form of a winning mentality going ffs, when we've won nothing in years.

If nothing else, a days experience in CP for the nww faces.

I'd like to see them beat Monaghan thus finishing off the league with two good wins, but if Galway also get a win and are in a final instead of Mayo so be it.

I’d agree to this to some extent. I won’t be too bothered if we didn’t make a league final and it does depend on whether Horan plans to have a look at anyone else vs Monaghan before trimming the panel. That said, giving it a good crack against Monaghan and then a League final vs Kerry would do the squad no harm.

Monaghan won’t be just there for the fun of it next Sunday either as they need points to guarantee survival too.

Now that I say it, I’d actually love a league final. Get another game in Croke Park for some of the newer lads before the championship, as well as the chance of a National title. I can’t see that as being any hindrance to be honest.
