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

For anyone looking to purchase the current Mayo home jersey (Green & Red), Lifestyle Sports have them reduced to 60 euro from 70.

Its strange. I thought there'd be big demand especially with the hurling.

Why wouldn't the hill be on sale

Ticketmaster only has tickets for 2 sections. I was just in a local supervalu. They only have lower Hogan and Davin.

When are the rest on sale?

He categorically stated that there'll be no issue buying a ticket at the ground on match day.

Even if 6000 turn up?

I've a work colleague with close family in New York.

That's the second individual who has stated same.

In fairness, backing Mayo in national finals has not proven a profitable strategy for a very long time. I'd hope to see that change on Sunday but history is on the side of the kingdom and that plays into the odds on offer.

Indeed the bookmakers don't trust Mayo when it comes to national finals sadly with very strong justification.

Have you tried purchasing tickets for the lower Hogan??

Boyle Sports have Mayo at 9/4. That's too tempting for me to resist. I would have thought both teams would be around the evens mark.

I'm interested to see the match ups. Sean O'Shea and Clifford big lads, we might need a physical presence on them?

I am not a gambling man but I find those odds absolutely crazy.

You would want to be mad to back Kerry at 2/5.

Plainly my arguments from last week about why Mayo should take the Monaghan game seriously were used by Horan on Sunday. Only logical explanation I can think of.

I'm surprised Kerry are strong favourites for Sunday. It seems like it should be an even enough match.

I'd agree with Tod, in the final now and in it to win it. Team Mayo will start on Sunday will likely be a stronger and more experienced team than what will start v New York in May.

Based on Horans approach to the league I believe what he is saying about his approach. He will start the lads that are doing the best in training. Age or experience doesn't matter. I think this is how he will pick the team next weekend, it doesn't matter how they played in the past if they're getting roasted in training then they're on the bench or on the stand. I think this is a great approach!

The Lower Cusack is "reserved" for season ticket holders from competing counties (i.e. they will all be seated there first), so there will be very few tickets available for it. You've a far better chance getting four together in the Lower Hogan.

I dunno. The team Horan put out for the Monaghan game suggests winning the league is not a high priority for him.

But the Monaghan game was completely different.

Winning that gave you nothing other than a win, they needed other results to get to the final.

Sunday is a one off game with a national title up for grabs.

Completely different.

Just noticed that too. I can't get 4 together in Lower Cusack. Keep a check on it tomorrow for upper level.

OH I think they will go for it.

It's a national final, a chance of silverware.

The league business is done, this is now an once off game
They should have learned enough in the last 7 games to know what to work towards for the championship

I don't think they would do any else but be totally focused on this game.

I think he will stick with the players who got them this far. Why not? Would be unfair to drop them.

Conor Diskin went off injured in the first half.He had'nt made a huge impression although if I recall correctly he set up one point.The jury is out,he's very young and needs more game time but unlikely to get a lot of it at this point in time.

James Mc Cormack had a decent game,plenty of gas in the tank and scored a nice point in the first half.Definite potential there.

He showed up really well and he has good pace. He was mad to get into attacking and if he was seen in one instance by AOS across the other side of the pitch(all alone), he would have been in for a goal as Monaghan were down to 14.

Very happy with them. Lots of potential. Our young players have been excellent in this campaign. A real plus.

agreed, but whilst we will have the edge in those areas,we will still lose!

50 50 game IMO.

Although in an overall sense we have a dismal record against Kerry in the championship and many of us are still haunted by the 2014 semi final replay.:(

Some of the historical baggage in relation to the past vis a vis the kingdom has been overcome by this group of players.

However checking back on the records we've never beaten them in a national final.So same has to be put right and there's no time like the present.:)

Nope, we should be expecting to win it. We have a strong bench to back us up, key will be Clifford and O'Shea and how their performances are. Clifford should still be coming back from his time out, both could destroy us on their day

Some stats from the Tralee match.

Kerry

First half with the strong wind

0-7 from 17 efforts on goal

Second half

0-4 from 8 efforts on goals.

Total 0-11 from 25 scoring opportunities

Mayo

1st half

0-4 from 8 efforts on goal

2nd half With the strong wind

1-6 from 13 efforts on goal

Total 1-10 from 21 scoring opportunities

In summary a contest ruined by the wind. The goal was key and Kerry more wasteful when they had the strong wind advantage cost them.

Clifford if he starts could bring the xfactor and on dry calm day Sean O'Shea could cause serious. For Mayo to win they will need to dominate the middle eight again and deliver a top defensive performance.
