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

Staggeringly brilliant piece of insight there from Twinkletoes O'Mahony. And there was us lot only too willing to believe that Mayo would love to lose to Donegal. Thanks for setting us all straight there Aido.

Not having a go at you btw, but the amount of shyte talk going on is mad.

Here here

I have the good fortune to be in the great county of Mayo this week, and reading "The Connaught" all I am seeing is this positivity based on nothing more than intangibles.

Now I know the aforementioned newspaper is poor quality as it is but all it is doing this week is telling it's readers what they want to hear.

The reality is (in no particular order)
Mayo are missing key players due to injury
Have played a lot of games in a short period of time
Have in general terms failed to play as the Mayo we expect in all but one half of one game (first half v Galway)
Have been exposed defensively
Have been exposed on restarts
Have a manager who seems not to think as tactically as his predecessor.

All of that combined coming up against a younger team preforming well gives me very little confidence.

The writers in "The Connaught" are expecting Mayo to do what they did v Galway for a full game v a better team.

I hope I'm wrong but there is a slim chance of that happening.

rumour has it the mcbrearty has picked up some sort of injury. Dunno if its true, or how bad!

He'd apparently signalled to the bench the last day with about ten minutes to go that he wanted to go off (hamstring injury).

I was paraphrasing but I take your point that it looks like a cliched and simple quote but there was a bit more to it.
He was trying to put across the fact that the Mayo lads will do anything for Rochford to not put one over them by using their strengths against them. If that makes sense.
It was a different slant because all week we've been hearing that Rochford will be masterminding a gameplan against Mayo and sure that might very well happen, but you also could see more fire from Mayo because they won't want someone they know all too well gunning to beat them.

I would imagine it is pretty well know by the vast majority of county managers what Mayo`s strengths are.
Donegal under Declan Bonner and his management team to date have concentrated on their own attacking strengths with their game plans.
I would not see them changing for this game.

Can't dispute that but any word he trained this week?

If that man comes on and kicks the winner, we'll get him elected Taoiseach

Thanks man. Got them there. Should be a bit of craic.

That's true.

Aidan O'Mahony was speaking on Off The Ball this morning. His view was that the Mayo lads will also not want to lose to a Donegal team with Rochford involved and it's just a game they can't lose. Just another way of looking at it. He thinks there's still a kick left in this Mayo team. Hopefully he's right.

The lads simply need to follow the standard that Andy and Boyler laid down against Meath. Looking forward to seeing the matchups when the ball's thrown in.

Of course. I think Rockford would love nothing more than to get one up on the countyboard in particular. I wouldnt blame him either.

Indeed.
You could pay at the gate for finals up until the near disaster on the hill in 83.
A year previous to that the most famous final of all was far from a full house.

A distinct possibility but it's a good night out if one is interested in all things GAA.

3,000 tickets due to go on sale via clubs only later this week due to pre-match entertainment lined up.

I wonder will Parsons get a club run later this year?

No sign of him in a league game at the weekend though, so its probably too much to ask for this season

I remember I was living and working in Dublin that Summer and I walked up and paid at the stile for 3 of the 4 semis with replays (exception Mayo-Dublin replay. Got a ticket for that back home). I got upper Hogan stand tickets just behind the cameras for all the others and I think they were about £6. It's crazy to think back to how easy it was to get tickets in those days.
