Mayo GAA Discussion

I can’t see Harrison making it back this year, unfortunately. It would be good to have a natural corner back available to us, particularly when Eoin o’D isn’t in favour. It would certainly stop us having to use Lee in the full back line, which would be a help I feel.

Ah i would be very surprised to see O'Hora fit for a semi final based on watching him going off the pitch! A huge loss as he was immense!

just to follow the thread

Rob has taken a step back, that’s all that’s been said about it. He’s get a business to run in Ballinrobe and with Covid I would imagine that has presented challenges that meant he needed to devote more time to it. I like Rob, he has an infectious enthusiasm about him.

Rob is back on some of the SIX podcasts they're doing in the build up to the match.Its a great podcast and an integral part of the build up to games for me.

Delighted for Keith Higgins. One of the greats of GAA.

6pm on the Saturday evening confirmed

Ill be sick if I have to watch us beating the Dubs and then Tyrone in my hotel room in Jurys Parnell street :(

Hotels prices will go through the roof now aswell

I booked a twin room with breakfast for the Saturday night in Jurys Parnell St for 109 euro last week on S Value getaway breaks. Also booked for same price in same hotel for the Saturday night of the final ;)

Firstly congratulations to Keith Higgins. Without doubt one of the finest players of the last 50 years. Fantastic to see him walk up the steps and pick up the cup in Croke park

There could be a little problem with our gear box😎 Or a bit of dirty oil.

A lot of people are writing Dublin off, and a lot of very loyal fans dont think we will get to final let alone win it. Im not sure either way to be honest. They have improved a little with each game and the injured players got game time today which gives them a boost but Im not sure it will be enough this year. There is a little spark missing. Cant put my finger on it.

The 4 teams left are the best 4 teams in Ireland for sure. How do you pick a winner? You can make a case for each. Thought Tyrone were superb yesterday. Kerry looked super, ok, against a terrible Cork side. Mayo were superb against Galway, great depth and balance to Mayo squad and it is showing. Any one of the 4 could win it which is great for the game.

Horan has done a terrific job with the Mayo squad. I think this is all round the best squad you have had. Their conditioning is superb and fitness was never an issue. There are ball players all over the pitch but not just ball players I think these lads have matured big time. While the championship was short last year lads got game time and you can see it in their play. AOS on edge of square (definitely closer to goal) is better for the team. That alone lets Mayo players play ball and uses your strengths for your team, the strong running and good passing. They can really mix it up much better now. There are very few capable of marking him. But I think now have a number of key players who can be match winners. Mullen, Ruane, Coen, O'Se, Durkan, Conroy.

Either way some good debates to be had in next 13 days.

Not sure you can make a serious case for Tyrone. Describing their performance in a one-point victory over Monaghan as 'superb' might be over-egging it a bit...

Mayo will never have a better chance of beating the DUBS...

Make no mistake about it this Tyrone side is their best in a few years. What they do have are exceptionally skilled players all over the field. They are top class and Dooher/Logan have them playing much better. They can hold possession as good as Dublin and they are very direct when they attack. Mayo are bigger, as are Dublin but the physical side will be something they relish.

Remember they fielded last week without 4 first choice starters.
