    😀 At least they can cock a gun better than Healy Rae..

    If he survives and I doubt he will , he really needs to drop the "whoever performs best in training gets the starting berth mantra".

    The lads are obviously pushing too hard with what's at stake , and their dropping like flies.

    A cotton wool approach should be mandatory, especially in the week leading up to game-day, and he should know his best team by now..

    Scrutiny, critical thinking, or even been bothered by Mayo landing Sam just isn't in the DNA of a large proportion of our fanbase, so long as they had a great auld craic on yer big weekend away in Dublin...and u got yer hole in coppers ...thats all that matters..👍️

    What a goal. Made that out of nothing



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,305 ✭✭✭Kalyke


    If O Hora has or had concussion why is he on the bench?

    Need to get those kickouts sorted for the second half.

    Maheady has been very poor, I would be making a change there at HT.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,705 ✭✭✭Blackjack


    Deane bringing in 2 lads who are all able to score now.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,705 ✭✭✭Blackjack


    Niall Hurley is some player, there’s a few on that team who are great prospects



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,567 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Superb win, very controlled performance in the second half to see it out. Apart from the Kerry goal chance which was brilliantly saved, we never really looked like giving them a way back into it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,625 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Great win but they made some meal of it.

    4 or 5 real gems in that team, if not more.

    Made hard work of it in the second half - lots of wides but that was a fairly stiff wind. Good win all the same.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭MacDanger


    Great win although you could see the nerves coming through at times, understandable when they're so young



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭MacDanger


    Darren McHale is a big miss for tomorrow



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 648 ✭✭✭maximus15


    great win. nervy stuff at the end. nice to see mayo galway all ireland final. Has that happened at any level before?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 617 ✭✭✭franklyon


    we tried our best to let Kerry back into it, some very poor wides in the last 10 minutes, when they should have been out of sight, was impressed with the Galway minors, excellent tackling and some good scores too, we will be up against it in the final.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,693 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    Great to see a Mayo team playing like that...let's hope a few of them can push on through to the senior team over the next few years



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,635 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Why oh why is minor game on a Saturday before a bloody semi final . And prob at 12 o clock

    Disgrace thats it’s not the curtain raiser for senior



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,937 ✭✭✭Happyilylost




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 90 ✭✭Vish81


    Well done minors.

    Not their most polished performance this year, but easily kept them at arms length and have a few extra gears in them to put Galway to the sword in the final.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭MacDanger


    Watched the 1st half of the ladies game, making some bad mistakes. 3 down and against the breeze in the 2nd half, hard to see us getting a result tbh

    First ever all Connacht final in the All Ireland final. Was all Munster and all Leinster AI finals before 2003 and 2015.

    Looks like this final won't be played in Croke Park, so sensible choice is to have two Connacht teams play the final in Connacht, Dr Hyde Park perhaps?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,419 ✭✭✭MacDanger


    Yeah, has to be in the Hyde I'd say. Would be a sickener to lose it after beating them twice



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,449 ✭✭✭PCeeeee


    With respect. If you cannot understand how a lad could get a concussion through no fault of anyone (if indeed he has) in the run up to a game then I suspect you have very little idea of what goes on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,343 ✭✭✭HBC08


    The Minor Final is fixed for Croke Park on July 9th before the Tailteann Cup final and one of the senior semis.

    Why do you say it looks like it won't be played in Croke Park?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 552 ✭✭✭boosabum


    Think it's minor final before one semi final and tailtean cup before other semi final



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,343 ✭✭✭HBC08


    Couldn't be sure but it's on Hoganstand Fixtures.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭blowitupref


    Senior semi final and Tailteann cup final are set for Croke park July 9th. Minor final is TBC and has been talk about not wanting to have U17s play in Croke Park.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,343 ✭✭✭HBC08


    I read that as July 9th in Croke Park with time TBC,I could be wrong though

    Just to be clear I'd love to see this in a provincial ground,remember Ennis 2016? Great occasion. It would be a big draw and you'd have over 5k Mayo supporters at it.

    I'd like to see it in Hyde,Ennis or Sligo

    Has there even been so much doom and gloom before a quarter final game in recent memory? Not that it isn't warranted, I think we're in trouble alright tomorrow.

    The injuries have caught up to us with key players missing and others like Cillian and Paddy not flying like they usually are. Jordan Flynn is only back playing a few weeks.

    We also have players out of form, the likes of Coen and Ruane. Then there's players like Carr and Loftus that have been inconsistent to say the least.

    That's the players, management is another cause for concern. In fairness to Horan, he's been dealt a bad hand here, it's not like he's out injurying the players himself but there are questions to be asked of him come tomorrow. He needs to gamble with something, if he sets us up like he did against Kildare then Kerry could very well take us to the cleaners. Time will tell but a win tomorrow would be up there with our best days out in the last 10+years and that's saying something about the task in front of us.

    The locals here in Kerry are a bit worried.

    One man this evening said to me if I asked him Thursday he would have said Kerry would definitely win, but now he is not too sure.

    Another was very cautiously optimistic, he was exuberant a few weeks ago when the draw was made.

    If Mayo were to pull it off it would certainly be up there as one of the biggest wins, but unfortunately I can't see it.

    I'm not sure if it's going to be a full on hammering or one of these "3 point" hammerings where the scoreline might be close but the game never in doubt.
