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

Christ folks, I was joking about Cillian.

Yes he may be lacking a bit of match practice due to a year out of inter county football but we say during that absence how valuable he was.

PressRun

Cillian is lacking a bit of match sharpness.

Two missed penalties in as many weeks, come on the guy is useless, does nothing from play either.

I thought David Clarke outside of his blips on the kickouts was very good today.

Bit harsh there Tod on Cillian,post a very good outing against Galway,I thought he showed well against Kerry,kicked his frees,scored from play,rasped the crossbar with a goal chance and Ryan made a good save to stop the penalty.

Admittedly he's was a bit undercooked today.Missed a couple of frees,definitely one off the ground.His penalty attempt was indicative of a less than stellar outing where he was oft beaten to the ball.

Historically you'd have put your house on Cillian to convert a penalty.In his defence he's had a long layoff.

In general I agree with you.

Only point in his favour is that he's actually scoring from play and playing better than previous years. His injury has helped him recover to become fitter, leaner and hungrier.

The only other credible free taker is Conor Loftus on bench.

I reckon all the focus will be on Donegal, they came away with a draw today. They were no better than Kerry, no worse either.

Kerry have to face Meath, with Meath nothing to play for. Donegal needed the win today to release some of the pressure of facing a trip to CB.

In our favour, we will have 2 weeks rest, are battle hardened after 5 weeks on the road, playing at home and a strong possibility that we will have some of our injured back to play.

The last time we played Donegal in the league Div 1 playoff last year in Ballybofey, it was some cracker. Kevin McLoughlin got a massive point on his right foot to snatch a late draw to save our bacon.

This will be some game in CB. Can't wait for it.

Would also think hennelly has to start next day, even if he concedes a bad goal the game is recoverable whereas losing kick outs isn't recoverable as donegal will win 80% of theirs. Not going to win without some decent primary possession

I was in good form
But the last few posts have put me in great from

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright

Fairly sure personal attacks like the one on a member of Horans backroom team (a volunteer like the rest of them ) are against the charter ?

Where’s this idea that Hennelly can’t stop goals come from? Mistake or two in him when the confidence goes but he’s every bit the shot stopper Clarke is and has consistently shown that when he plays

Absolutely no where near Clarke under the High Ball and is just not at the same level as Clarke bar the Goal Kicks .

I do think man for man Donegal are stronger (by a stretch). However at Castelbar, anything can happen.

Mayo v Donegal...for a plan in the All Ireland semi finals. Mouthwatering!

Thought Boyler was outstanding through out.

A lad who was'nt starting at the start of the championship and we'd all largely written off as impact substitute he's had a stellar championship thus far.

Terrible rain on route home but we were very fortunate with the elements.

We'll have to up it massively to trouble Donegal.Sounded like a contest of a totally different standard to the first game.

2 weeks will make a massive difference,Paddy might be back in contention.Diarmuid still in a cast pitchside.Who knows where Matthew Ruane is at?

It should be a sell out.

Yikes and no rest for the wicked with minors next weekend.

Kudos to Andy,he was simply immense in the second.He was the difference,truly remarkable his quality with his longevity of service.

Ruane back training but non contract

Very little. But there's a chance!

Donegal are a quality outfit. Missing 3 starting defenders today (2 of which should be back for the next game), they still contained the Kerry frontline well enough. Its a massive game in CB in two weeks, but a winnable game. However, if Mayo are to have a chance they need their A game. It's gonna be a tight game, with a high score, much like today at Croke Park with Kerry - Donegal.

Plenty chance in 2 weeks players obviously shattered after 5 weeks on the bounce, fair play to Andy Moran for getting that one over the line

Andy head and shoulders our best player out there. At 35. Says it all

Unfortunately we're looking on course for a very sobering evening in 2 weeks.

Hopefully hennelly gets the start. I don't think I've ever seen a worse kickout display at this level than today

Luckily Meath completely ran out of steam as that was overall a very poor display
