Mayo GAA Discussion - Part 4

I hope we stay in division 1 but those two games against Galway and Tyrone are going to be vital prep for championship so whatever happens in the league i am looking forward to a step back to straight knock out championship! Absolutely anything could happen this could be a great year, hopefully for us!

Ah it's not a farce. It's a reaction to an unprecedented situation. It's not ideal but there you go.

I'm a Galway man and I was chatting to a Mayo woman the other day. We were talking about the possibility of a straight knock out and saying the excitement would be great. Then the same thought occurred to us both at the same time....as long as ye don't knock us out 😀

If Mayo got over the line it would be just like any All Ireland, and its been a long time, I am from Waterford, and my friend was From Achill, and he sadly died in 2019, but not until he had seen another few close calls, I think the Newbridge or nowhere game was his last one, a Saturday qualifier, and the most disappointing day for him was the Donegal final when they conceded the 2 early goals. He just laughed at the 2 own goals in the drawn final against Dublin, said it could only be Mayo. Good luck this year, and hopefully a knock out format will suit.

A Mayo Waterford double would be a dream!!

The majority want to return to play,I don't know if the majority (or vast majority) want this weird, winter race to grab some money for the year.
I was chatting to a former Mayo player this morning (still plays club) Said he has no interest in this championship and would much rather clubs including his own could go for provincial and all Ireland honours after the county championship.
As much as I don't think it'll work out well for us its only fair the league is finished but starting a championship in November to finish at Christmas is crazy,Its a money grab,let's be honest about it.

That depends. If there are no crowds, will the GAA make money out of it?

Searched high and low for a Mayo jersey for a 0-6 month old baby girl living out of county ( home one obviously ).Tried Elverys O Neill's etc to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you try the Elverys shop in Castlebar ? I've seen baby/toddler Mayo jerseys in there.

Has somebody been playing around with the championship semi-final pairings hoping for a Kerry v Dublin final ?
I may be wrong, but were the semi pairings this year not supposed to be Ulster v Connacht and Leinster V Munster.

Yes
They were . No explanation put forward as to why they have been changed

No
No one has been playing around with the championship semi final parings.

The Super 8 groups this year had Leinster and Munster champions in the same group.

So no way they could have meet in a SF.

The old SF rotation has been hampered somewhat by the Super 8 groups but going on that old rotation it would be Connacht v Munster in 2020 anyway.

2017 - Connacht v Munster
2018 - Connacht v Leinster (Galway and Dublin in different Super 8 groups)
2019 - Connacht v Ulster (Roscommon and Donegal in different Super 8 groups)
2020 - Connacht v Munster (Connacht champions and Munster champions in different Super 8 groups)

So sorry folks but there is nothing to see here.

Im watching 2006 u21 final. Joe McQuillan was ref and he rode Cork altogether ��

Great to see the various club championships getting underway on the August bank holiday weekend.

Ample tasty fixtures: Breaffy Westport comes to mind or for that matter the Charlestown Mitchels game.

Bound to be a poignant occasion for the home club.

Sorry if it seems like Ive been living under a rock and not keeping up,but are they behind closed doors or is there some kinda social distancing attendance possible.

As far as I know they are not behind closed doors...

Max 500 at games, that includes players and mentors etc. If there is likely to be more than 200 (I think) at a game you need to pre-sell tickets

Ah here ref has set up a new WhatsApp group for score updates and details of matches, this kind of info is going round on it, very handy

Yes I joined that group.It is great,all credit to the lad.

Great. THanks. It's hard to know how it will go - if people will flock to the matches after being denied the football for so long. Or if many people will still be wary of the covid, and stay away.
