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

Mayo 0-4
Galway 0-10

After a bright start Galway well on top at half time.

Decent breeze will need to be utilised in the second half.

Well beaten, not at the races at all.

Mayo 0-10
Galway 0-16

Tommy Conroy our standout player.

Kristopherus

Well beaten at the end.

If you're coming in from Howth, a stop off at Harry Brynes along the Howth road might be in order. Lovely pub.

Towey played well when he got on the ball I thought, Evan o brein was good going forward but rubbish defensively, an awful lot of cheap turnovers given up, Galway were very tigerish and intense, always made the correct choices too

I'm really excited about Tommy Conroy,oozes natural talent.We're not exactly flaithulach with truly gifted forwards coming through.

IMO he's a certainty to progress into the senior ranks long term.

Can’t understand how any team in the modern era doesn’t seem to have any kick out strategy game except for drive it down the middle, an area we got fairly cleaned out in today.
Persisting with the same tactics even when they obviously were not working doesn’t bode well for Sloan chances of every getting the Mayo Senior gig.
Very poor performance against a Galway team that didn’t even play that well.

KW will soon knock that out of them.

Riddled with mistakes, bad handpassing and too many cheap turnovers as you said. The ten minutes before half-time and the ten after the restart was the losing of the game and we never looked like getting back into it.

We didn't do ourselves any justice. Galway looked much slicker up front.

I felt the start of the second half killed match. That's where Mayo needed a couple of scores to put pressure in Galway. Instead, Galway got them and looked comfortable after that.

There'll be incredible pressure to bring in Joyce if he wins the under 20 All Ireland

I actually think KW is entitled to another go next year, but if PJ even enquires about the job his response will likely be "when can you start"

Off topic a bit, but can anyone recommend a good place in Dublin city centre to watch the game on Sunday? I cant make it down to Kerry, and Im not so familiar with town since the childer came along...

The Living Room on Cathal Brugha Street is a good place to watch a match.

Usually, yes, but this Sunday's a tricky one

There'll be large interest in the Wimbledon final in the tourist-type/trendy spots and most Irish pubs will have the hurling on RTE 2 from 2pm and may not switch over to RTE 1 from the other hurling game after.

As I say Sinnotts - with a plethora of screens - is the 100% safe bet, as it'll be shown for certain there (as will the hurling and tennis) and you are guaranteed a good view. Sinnotts is fine when not too busy either - and it won't be, on Sunday. Great location in that its very near to a host of other pubs too if you find its uncomfortable in there

I'd often go there for GAA matches, as I do be in Dublin a bit over summer, and can easily get a seat up at the bar or at a table, and service is excellent and there's usually a nice crowd to chat with

Personally, not a fan of Sinnotts. It has always been too busy whenever I went there. However, must admit, not sure if I was ever there on a Sunday afternoon.

Its never proper busy for GAA - bar All Ireland finals maybe

A big soccer or rugby game is a complete no-go

But this particular sunday it makes most sense - in my view anyway

Does the living room not have about 20 screens and show many different events simultaneously?

Yeah but I'd say Sinnotts would be more likely to have it on one of their main screens?

Now I've only been in Living room a handful of times but it doesn't really strike me as a GAA pub? I watched the AI hurling final in there last year and barely anyone was watching it

But as you say they'd show it somewhere for sure in there

Personally though, I can't think of anywhere else overly decent in the near vicinity, if its uncomfortable. Woolshed shows plenty sport but I wouldn't be a fan

SInnotts is only a short walk really from St Anne St, Camden/Wexford st, Georges/Aungier st (and surrounding areas), Baggot st, Leeson st, etc. in that you'd be far more likely to find a suitable alternative at a few minutes notice

I think only a Mayo man could say that

It'll probably happen that KW *will* stay on, which is almost a tacit way of saying that the current Galway squad are a truly average bunch. Walsh should go, but that won't come near to solving Galway's ills.

Haha

To be fair a first win in CP and first semi since 2001, first win v Kerry in God knows how long, 2 Connacht titles and completely turned around the Mayo/galway rivalry. Tipperary in 2016 was bad but aside from that the championship exits were against Donegal, Mayo, kerry and Dublin - all top opposition

Job performance wise he deserves another go - imo anyway

I think it does, and Sinnots too. If I was going out to watch it I'd have to go somewhere where I could actually listen to it too.

You'd be better off finding a decent pub a little out of town that have a lot of gents from the West living there. Eg you could go into ballinteer house any Sunday (not suggesting it's appropriate in this instance) and the bar is lined up with fellas from the West who live there and bought their houses there back in the day.

There's bound to be a lot of pubs like that around.

Closer to town, I've always found Ryan's on Camden street to be good for GAA and a nice crowd

On top of that, they tackled harder and heavier when we were in possession.

Interesting half-time team talk from Pádraic Joyce.

Told them you can go out happy with your 6 point lead, have it go down to 3 and end up in a dogfight, or you can go out and kill it off in the first ten minutes.

The living room is always packed full of tourists, stags, hens and foreigners who live in Dublin. You'd never get an Irish vibe off it so I'm not surprised it there wouldn't be a big crowd watching the hurling.

Probably out of your way but the 51 on Haddington Road was my go-to for match watching when I lived in Dublin: sparse crowd, big screens tvs turned up loud, show every major event. Decent grub too...

I’m away on holidays atm, so a bit out of the loop. But does it seem there’s more noise coming from Mayo in the media than Kerry? Seems the Kerry crew are keeping very very quiet, worrying...
