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

Big loss to Galway. Great for us, shame for Comer though.

Isn't that what SomethingElse was saying.
A Mayo win today and a Donegal win today, leaves it in Mayos own hands next week i.e. if Mayo beat Galway today, and Donegal beat Tyrone - then it's in our own hands next week to win and avoid relegation.
To be honest, I haden't a clue of the permutations, and just relying on yere expert analysing to see what the story is.

Yes it is what the other poster was saying.
But just to be pedantic, it's never actually in Mayo's own hands.
They need Donegal to do them a favor and win.
Mayo winning both remaining games on their own may not be enough.
Way back in the spring that Tyrone v Dublin game was a disaster for Mayo.
Tyrone ekked out a win on an awful night.
A Dublin win would have been much better.

A Mayo win and a Tyrone loss today sets up a relegation playoff next week.

If Mayo finish level on points with just Monaghan, Monaghan win on the head to head.

If Mayo finish level on points with just Donegal, Donegal win on scoring difference (right now it's a 33 point difference). That's assuming scoring difference will be the
tiebreaker as they drew the league game.

If Mayo finish level on points with both Monaghan and Donegal again Mayo likey lose out on scoring difference.

Monaghan have Meath left to play so they are likely to win that.

However Mayo could stay alive with a win and a draw and a Monaghan loss to Meath.

In no scenario is it in Mayo's "own hands" at this point, they need other results to work, however a win today will give them the best chance for the final weekend.

That’s a huge loss when Jason Doc is out as well

Nothing like the true El Clasico to get the blood flowing!:D

It's truly Super Sunday with 2 great cross border derbies.

Eoghan Mc Loughlin after his Kerry cameo that seemingly lifetime ago deserves his start.

Will be fascinated by the bench?

Names I'd like to see feature.

The 2 O Donoghues,James McCormack,Padraig O Hora,James Carr,Darren Coen,Jordan Flynn,Aidan Orme,Darren McHale and Colm Moran.

Not sure what's the story with Brendan Harrison?Injured.

Zippy,Tom Parsons,Chris Barrett,Michael Plunkett are the tried and tested likely to lent on for experience.

Fairly sure Harrison is out for the year injured

We're up against it big time. In fairness, we've pulled off some great escapes the last ten years or so but this would be the best of the lot.

Monaghan have gone down by 3 points to Kerry.

Now need Tyrone to win in Donegal tomorrow after our league game finishes.

Of course both results will matter not a jot/be immaterial if we fail to win in Tuam.

Our points difference vis a vis both counties is appalling.

There was a Chris Barrett played midfield for Mayo in an U21 final in 04. He is not the current defender?

The Chris Barrett in the current setup was a minor from the 2005 team who stepped up to u21 in 2006 which won the all Ireland. That was some team with a good crop becoming senior inter County players.

Conor Loftus is a left of field pick.

Wasn't on the radar recently.

Must be going well in training?

Diarmuid shifts out to the middle.

James Horan seems to really rate Eoghan McLaughlin.

Definitely one for the future.

Expecting Kevin Mc will start at 6 or the half forward line.

Others will have more of an inside track on David McBrien?

Loftus played there for Crossmolina during the intermediate championship.
Really can't see that as a viable IC midfield option.

A few new faces on the Mayo team. Horan does make changes before throw in so this team probably won't start?

1. David Clarke - Ballina Stephenites
2. Oisín Mullin - Kilmaine
3. David McBrien - Ballaghaderreen
4. Lee Keegan - Westport
5. Patrick Durcan - Castlebar Mitchels

Him, Doc and Boyler have been the heartbeat of the team for years. Totally underrated for all the dirty work that they do. Doc was only recognised for what gives the team when he isn't there. As a young lad he was a total score getter and evolved into what he is today, the quintessential team player.

TBF any supporters country wide with more than a passing knowledge of the game would have given due recognition to Kevin Mc Loughlin,Jason Doherty,Colm Boyle and Seamie O Shea.

With the possible exception of Doc I'd never have believed they were underrated within or outside the county.

Other county threads down through the years would bear witness to same.

When it came to awards etc their less glamorous work/intense competition and ultimately lower profiles reduced their recognition.

Lest we forget Colm Boyle is a 4 time All Star and was in hard luck to not win one in 2019.

He was outstanding that year.

Have to agree with you. Wouldnt have been his biggest fan when he came on the team, thought he might just be one of these sensational FBD/early league players that gets found out in champo but his form in 16 and in particular 2017 was sensational. Thought he deserved an all star that year.

I couldn't agree more! I'd throw Seamie O'Shea into that category as well - did so much donkey work that went unseen and unthanked. A bit like Doherty, he never really got too many mentions (unless giving out) until they got injured when they were suddenly key vital players we were missing. In other words, people finally realised the work they did for the team and what their absence took away from things.

In fairness, McLoughlin showed on numerous occasions throughout the club campaign the difference between a good club player and a top county player - he really was a touch of class throughout the whole thing! Hopefully, he can keep that form going for a few years for both club and county. One of the most underrated and unacknowledged players both inside and outside of Mayo. You need a guy like him on every team.

I think it is a bit more that just mussle and agression. I think it is also having the inner belief and football brain to rise above the normal. In fairness Conor was playing really well in the club but sometime I look and wonder where is he going with this. The final was an example for me where as when McLoughlin got the ball he made a smart move or the ball is over the bar.
