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

Ger Caff has packed it in

Great servant, got way more abuse than he deserved, no account taken that he was left 1-on-1 all the time against top class full forwards all the time

Isn't that what a full back job is

Not really in modern football. You never really see a full back being isolated like caff was, there’s always a sweeper to protect them

The game against Cavan in the league earlier this year showed how good Ger was at his peak. Hopefully he'll get over the injury problems and have a good run with the Stephenites over the next few years.

Bunny Colvin

He'd a great game that night and got a good reception from the supporters.

All the best to him.

Breaffy and Ballina pick of the quarters there. very interesting. Knockmore will make C'bar work for it though

Would have been a bit of craic if Westport and Claremorris got each other in relegation. Both should win those with little enough fuss

I think Holly/Carra will beat Claremorris. They're a much stronger side when the 2 Coens are around. Claremorris have been poor this year.

They'll still escape relegation however. Moy Davitts look the weakest by far.

Seems fair that we play Castlebar in McHale Park!
What’s changed between now and two years ago?

Dempsey should refuse to send out a team ala Kildare

Green and Red.

Plus ca change.

There'll likely be two double headers in Mac Hale Park as has been customary for the quarter finals in recent years.

I'll be relying on Mayo GAA TV as I'll be out of the country.:(

I did not watch The Saturday Game as yet but I'm led to believe that 2 Mayo defenders made the cut.I'm presuming it's Paddy and Boyler.

Colm Boyle was our outstanding baller this championship,Paddy excelled too in spite of his injury.Aidan O Shea post an excellent league and great start to the championship,understandably his performances tappered off a tad considering all the football he's played.

Nonetheless considering our three losses and couple of trimmings they might be considered fortunate to make the team.

Doubtful the all stars will be as kind.

Looks like Stephen Rochford has got the Galway gig,best of luck to him.

Yea both Durkan and Boyle mage TSG team of the year.

I hope the Rochford appointment does not come back to bite Mayo, it has happened before.

The Galway job has alot more implications with the county board. Walsh and O'Donohue had serious issues with them around simple stuff like training grounds, funding for the teams and the board putting certain people into positions that were out of their dept. There is a serious divide between hurling and football even go to the extent of hate with some people.

Its not straight forward job for who ever takes it and if Rochford does take it then fair play to him. He may do an o'Mahoney on it but it could easily go the other way.

Anyway, we need to concentrate on ourselves and start by delivering connaught next year as a top priority. The back door is killing us.

If he does take the job Rochy has fine talent to work with there in Galway. Some serious underage teams in recent years, and some young lads showing brilliantly in the Galway club championship. No-one will beat Dublin for years, so he won't win an all Ireland with them, but if he does get their house in order he might get them to a final

Rochford would be mental to take the Galway job. County board is a circus.

Club football is not in a good state in Galway. Corofin are dominating it and that is not good. If you talk to serious gaa football heads they say the standard of football outside of corofin is not good.

Maybe, but the Mayo Co board has a few clowns as well.

As Rochford well knows, which is why he should steer well clear of another county board that couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

They were taken to a replay last year. Annaghdown should of beaten them the year before. Like Dublin they have two things going for them 1) stronger panel 2) an aura that mentally affects teams before a ball is thrown in. Hardest games Corofin have had has been in Galway over the last few years. Don't think many would say there is any issue with the standard of club football in Galway. All in all its still quite competitive with Corofin a step ahead. I think they'll be given plenty of it next weekend too.

Mr Walsh wasn't too keen on the corofin lads. Some slight apparently. The defined a drinks ban order. When the Galway manager is disregard the best club team in the country. No wonder galway has issues.

Mountbellew have ran Corofin closer than other club team in recent years. They are a serious team who have been desperately unlucky to meet that Corofin team. They meet each other in the QF stage this year and while I expect Corofin to win, Mountbellew could run them close again.

He started 4 Corofin players against us this year and none of them played well. Good club teams don't always have lots of good county players.

Just look at Kerry. Dr Crokes are probably the 2nd best club in Ireland but Gavin White is the only guy playing with Kerry, and he was dropped for the replay at the weekend.
