In total agreement with you.

Full awareness it's the alternative jersey.

It may be heresy to say it but I'm not a big fan of it at all.

Hmmm, new account registered after the twitter man was banned, same kind of language and grammar employed in poor attempts at juvenile humour, one of his first posts spreading rumors again about mangers and money, not suspicious at all, no sir :rolleyes:

Anyway lads what do ye think of the team for tomorrow? Personally I am delighted to see Erris man EOD get a run. I hope to God Horan doesn’t act the bolloxs with the team selection like last week. I see Gallagher from Ballycroy called him out on this. His father Pat Gallagher is a sound man so not surprised the son is calling out this type of carryon.

Don't forget MG also has skin in the game as he failed to get elected to the board at thr last elections.

No need to be so suspicious Coilite Bhoy. Rumours come somewhere between truth and lies. Humour is a matter of personal taste. Enjoy the game tomorrow. No doubt there will be plenty to talk about after.

Response to Cartman78....

That twitter account is a bit for sure Cartman78. In saying that it isn’t the first time I came accross stories like this. There are a few big subbies in London from down our area and they got a few calls looking for money. One of them donated to purchasing a car for a manager once. Car was supposed to be returned when the Manager left but it wasn’t.

That subbie called again - he said he was only winding you up

A green and red second jersey would be a bit superfluous.

Glorious day,great to be alive!

What I wouldn't give to be strolling up to MacHale Park rather watching the game indoors.:(

Cillian flying fit as well

He looked like he was limping as he went off for halftime.

seligehgit · 30-05-2021 02:30PM

The continual renaissance of Lee Keegan is great to see although he'd want to be careful as he's sailing close to the wind vis a vis a second yellow card.

Matthew Ruane is making that number 8 jersey his own.

Great debut for Darren McHale.

James Carr is now flying after those two initial wides.

Cillian's imperious as ever.

Really nice options up front.

Still giving teams goal chances when they run at us.

seligehgit · 30-05-2021 03:22PM

Not a great second half to put it mildly.

seligehgit · 30-05-2021 05:29PM

Play Clare in the semi final.

Toss of a coin for venue.

Darren McHale stood out amongst the new personnel on show today.

Andy Moran is so easy to listen to commentating.
Thoroughly enjoyed hearing him. He has a great honesty when he's analysing the game.

It's a week before the sligo game.

OK I get it now after some head scratching. Not sure why they cant play the final the week before the champ matches especially as teams have been rotating.

It’s all a bit silly really imo
Cork beat Clare today but missed out on possible promotion to div 1 on points difference and instead face possible relegation to division 3!
I think we picked a good year to get relegated assuming we beat Clare ....

Really has been ideal imo, Div 2 has probably allowed a bit more freedom to blood new lads and get their confidence up.

Have to beat Clare though.

MayoAreMagic · 31-05-2021 10:46AM

I definitely think an odd foray to division 2 is not a bad thing. You cant blood young lads in division 1, they are getting battered every week and come championship their confidence is rock bottom. In d2 they can get a head of steam up.

Galway going down to division 2 a few years ago was the making of their team.

Galway spent a number of years in division 2 because it was basically their level at the time. Kevin Walsh who doesn't get enough credit for the job he did especially by his own supporters got things organised and played a huge part in making Galway an established Div 1 team again.

Dont no about that I'd prefer walsh to be still there rather than Joyce.joyce will get them right if giving time and will be a threat to us more so than the rossies

Why do you think Joyce will get them right? He doesn't have a big track record that I'm aware of.

Either way if he doesn't win connacht and progress this year I don't think he will be around much longer.

Kevin Walsh had a knack of beating Mayo in the Connacht championship, did it Sligo and Galway on a number of occasions. If Galway play Mayo in the Connacht final this summer I can't see Galway winning and that will mostly based on Joyce who will likely set the tribesmen up poorly especially in defence.

Another good win. I really like how composed this squad has become. New lads in and the older guys just never seem to panic.
Think I heard on the podcast that Horan has blooded/used more players than any other manager, or something like that.
He's going to have a headache come championship.

Ruane has gone up to another level, really strong, commanding and can score. Invaluable really.
Would worry about the number of goals down the middle we give up.
Hennelly kickouts are top notch now. Maybe with Clarke gone he has settled more.

Need to get up to Div 1 though, you'd really expect us to have too much in 70 mins for Clare.

Watching Rossies and Galway over the last few weeks I can't see they have improved at all, but could easily be saving themselves for championship time. Walsh is a top baller for Galway, take him out of that team and they will struggle. Joyce been advised to stop spitting into his paws for covid reasons!

I see Cian O'neill with Cork! That main gets around!

Re Robbies kickouts,they were very good in the first two games but not great yesterday I thought.
Horan is doing a great job blooding players but it's glaring that we don't have any full backs (never mind cover for the fullback line)
We have no cover at mf either.
Our defence is getting carved open for goal chances way too often against mediocre teams,we simply have to tighten up.I have full confidence in Horan though and think we will sort out the concession of goal chances come championship.
