Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Team named in match programme.
Kevin Mc and Eoghan McLaughlin both named to start
Best of luck to the ladies and mens teams.
management pretty much accepted they had no game plan going into the LGFA semifinal . This is a disgrace and it is showing on the pitch .
Not even good enough for a U14 club match .
With all the drama going on around the Tyrone situation one is actually moregrateful for the Connacht championship win.
Because after today anything in the All Ireland series will have an * on it.
There are maybe one or two you could argue around lack of experience but the rest have been around more than one season so are well experienced. I think the issue is that they are possibly not consistent enough to make the final push when things are there to be won. I hope I am wrong
The future is now for these new guys as they are around 1-2 years. We will thoroughly know what Conroy, Mchale, ROD, POH etc are made of. I think this game will tell alot around the quality we have. I really hope we deliver the first of a serious performance.
Very different from 2019
That was an old team, miles on the clock and injured all over the place.
This, regardless of how it turns out, is the future.
But not for too long, it needs also to become the present at some stage and really stand up as being a contender, not just constantly "getting the experience"
If we get a real season next year that might be the time.
If he nails his first he's fine. If not...
Agree with you 100% and have always thought we would lose by 5/6.
A great performance and I will be more than happy. A victory and I'll be loaded til Tuesday.
Eoghan McLaughlin anytime goalscorer is what I'll be backing.
At least it's not like the '19 semi final where we were a team on it's last legs and the likes of Ruane and Diarmuid weren't fully fit. We should be able to go with them the full 70.
We do need a lot of things to happen in our favour but you just never know. Throw the ball in and let's have a go.
This, 100%
Besides my own county cork winning an all Ireland in football(ha long way away) I’d love to see Mayo win one. I know today is a semi final but a win Today would IMO break a hoodoo that the team has with Dublin.
If Darren Coen hit a purple patch, he could score 10!!!
But that won't happen.
When the game is in the mix at the end how many points will those subs kick ?
that’s the worry
No. But if you pick the main 5 out of it - Hession, Walsh, Flynn, Carr and Coen, it's not too bad. Not groundbreaking, but they have a decent bit of experience for the big day
I don't think Colm Boyle is up to it anymore. Unbelievable servant, and a huge reason why Mayo improved so much in the past decade with the determination that brought to the team. But of course I have no idea what the form is like at training. He could very well be the man to bring on for the last 20 mins or so. Maybe lift the team.
God, nerves are kicking in.
They was a good discussion on the Mayo News podcast about keeping Kev Mc or Eoin or even both in reserve for the second half. Kev had to start for me but would have been ideal to spring Eoin from the bench in the second hand. Injuries have forced our hand and the bench does seem very light now.
I'm sure by the time the trumpet goes as the Mayo team enter the pitch, the optimism level will be restored but it feels like a near impossible task now.
Going to have to shoot lights out today and goals are a must. Tommy needs to be going from the start today and getting quality ball into Aidan when he's isolated will be key. There is potential in that FF line to do a bit of damage and we're certainly going to need that to happen today to be in with a chance.
Yea that bench looks very inexperienced.
I have to admit though I always thought today was bonus territory for Mayo.
In a fecked up year with just a straight championship winning Connacht before meeting Dublin in a SF was as good as I was expecting.
And it was good to once again beat Galway.
I don't buy into the narrative that Dublin have regressed enough to make them vulnerable to a still developing Mayo team.
In fairness,as soon as Oisin was out the bench automatically weakened as a result.
Surprised to see Harry there but he must be fit and raring to go.
Feeling a lot less optimistic than I did a week ago. I felt back then we were in with a great shout, but losing Oisin Mullin and the look of that bench now isn't really filling me with confidence.
Not a strong bench at all.
.....
Any chance u could throw up the subs bench here.
It’s a weak looking bench now tbh
My optimism is slipping away
Brendan Harrison named on the subs bench apparently. A man who hasn't played in about 2 years.
We'll be lucky to have fifteen players at this rate, Ciaran Mc might give us ten minutes from the sideline.
Ahh FFS, some lads have too much time on their hands.
I also heard leeroy was 50/50. Can't be all injured.
I hope to hell that Durcan is just a rumour. If he is out as well as Mullens then what the hell is going on getting injuries on the final week. For Mullens this is not good getting these at such a young age. The demands now are unreal on the body and when you hear of lads getting their hips done around 30 or so, you would wonder is it worth it.
Anyway, Mullens loss is huge and if there is anyone else like Durcan forget about it. Its time now for ROD, Conroy etc to stand up and show us that they are the new guys for Mayo. It is time for them to start deliver on the big day as they have the year or so under the belt.
Can’t sleep :@
Yes and oshea in a boot just precautionary.
All rumours being sent out
Did anyone hear of a possible injury to Paddy Durcan :(
41 man squad named by Mayo GAA tonight :D
A nice touch in fairness .
we won’t know either team till around 545pm tomorrow
