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

Ill be parked up on the Ballinrobe Road from early Saturday, i presume i can just shoot up MacHale Road at about 6pm (on foot obv) to the entrance? ie there wont be any barricades, etc

Any decent pub recommendations to watch the match in Dublin City centre on Saturday ?

Bearing in mind it clashes with the Leinster game

My favourite ever moment in Croke Park. Have tried to replicate the celebratory jump many times since, hands on the head. Some bullet of a shot.

In fairness Roscommon had a better 2018 than Mayo and while the league win was most welcome for Mayo this year, if we're totally honest, it was still a mixed enough campaign (certainly until Kerry in Tralee)

Roscommon made the last 8 for the past 2 seasons running, so it would be imprudent to underestimate them.

That said I fancy Mayo to do enough, but I can see it being a frustrating enough evening.

Mayo have struggled to beat worse teams than Roscommon in recent years

Sadly true............. shame that it went to his head as everyone told him that.

I'd be very disappointed and it would be a big come down after a good league campaign if Mayo did not dispense with Roscommon with some ease.

I'm not necessarily on about opening a can of whoop ass on them but certainly I expect Mayo to win with a bit to spare and that the game would never be in doubt.

Yes Roscommon have probably eyed this game a long way off but Mayo are a top 3 team, have won the league that Roscommon got relegated from, are playing and home where Roscommon have had a dismal record for decades, and under James Horan have never done complacency.

We don't have a great record there ourselves as of late.

I have read elsewhere that his father played on the first Garrymore Team ever in 1935(?). He visited Garrymore with the Sam Maguire. His grandfather was involved with the club at the time. The Brogan brothers grandfather came from Claremorris. Anton was a class player.

It's many a day since I can remember as quiet a build up to a championship game.

Hopefully the lovely weather will hold.

There certainly doesn't seem to be much chat.
I feel anyway that it could certainly be touch and go if any complacency creeps in.

1st half will be hell for leather I’d say with hits going in all over the place.
Surly to god we have plenty in the tank to push them aside when we need to

Chat like this is why a lot of people can't warm to some Mayo fans.

That said, I can't see us taking Mayo out. seligehgit is right, this is the quietest buildup I can remember for a good few years. Maybe it's from residual memory of the 2017 hammering in the replay at Croker.

Hoping (as usual) that Roscommon can stay in the game until late on and maybe a few jitters will creep in. Horrific record at McHale Park and don't see that changing this weekend unfortunately.

Yip that was it, got chatting to a couple who were attending the funeral after that. They seemed to think his father (or maybe mother, they weren't sure which one) was from Mayo so there's a link to this thread. RIP.

Father link is in Claremorris.

His dad played for Garrymore. Anton had a strong link to the area I believe. Seen some pictures of the man himself bringing Sam back to Garrymore going around during the week.

By all accounts the Rossies are well able to give it out this year !

I wouldn't be surprised if they've had their eye on this particular match since the beginning of the year. I don't see it being a walk over.

Yeah the juniors are playing Leitrim at 16.30 before the seniors.

Making sense if the minors game has been moved to Ballina as the officials will likely want to keep the pitch pristine.

I wonder when Cillian will be expected back? I guess December isn't that long ago to have had surgery. He's had that knee problem for years now.

Yeah if Ballintubber had lost in Mayo he'd be back by this stage I'm sure

Its surely a worry though, if he can't feature at all against Ros. As I say, that would surely rule him out of a start v Galway, if both teams progress.

That said if mayo can win Connacht without him, maybe his loss isn't as big a factor as I thought

Should have enough without him for Roscommon, but its hard to see how he wouldn't be a massive loss though against a Galway team who are likely to turn it into a low scoring slog, as has worked very well for them in fairness. Every point will be extremely valuable, and for free-taking alone I worry for Mayo without him.

Cillian O Connor will not be ready to feature in the Roscommon game as he continues his rehab from last December's knee operation.
