Surprised there's not much talk about the Kerry losses of Jack Barry and Adrian Spillane. Huge losses for Kerry around the middle 3rd, and welcome for Mayo considering their own losses.

It's certainly worrying the Kerry folk.

Jack and Adrian injured, along with an injury prone player and a young, inexperienced player as replacements, in an all Ireland quarter final is a bit worrying.

Moran is past it and could cost us the game if he stays on beyond 50mins. I thought the -4 the Bookies had would sail in during the week but after seeing the teams named, it will be close and could genuinely go either way tomorrow.

Safe journey to everyone travelling.

Doom and gloom probably 2011 prior to Quarter final against Defending All-Ireland champions Cork.

2010 Mayo had lost to Sligo, Longford. Won Connacht the following year but was far from convincing against London (needed extra time to overcome them) Galway (looked liked nobody could score a free kick) and against what was a Div 4 Roscommon team in the final in game played in terrible weather and could easily have lost.

The win against Cork started the ball rolling with the consistent competitive team. Would be a surprise if Mayo are not at least competitive against Kerry in this quarter final.

That's a poor comparison to make , one thats in all honesty fabricated and built on fresh air.

In 2011 that Mayo team was at the beginning its journey to becoming a consistent top tier team, while that Cork team was at the end of their cycle and vanished after that defeat.

Today we are up against a hungry and extremely talented Kerry team under proven management now , while we are going into this game with an abnormal amount of injuries, and a manger that is under scrutiny by both media and informed Mayo supporters.

It night & day.

Answered Bunny Colvin question when there was as much doom and gloom before quarter final in recent memory.

Not a comparison just a factual account when there was doom and gloom for this stage of the competition and as i already pointed out that win over Cork started the ball rolling for Mayo.

Factual,,😂

Your talking gibberish. .there was no gloom back then , as it was a fresh start under a new manager, so people were generally curious and excited as to where he was going to take us..

Maybe they didn't expect us to beat cork as he was just starting out as manager and were happy to give him time.. but doom is way over the top...

New managers usually get a few sceptics , thats about the height of it.

Bunny colvin sense of doom is highly likely to stem from the" fact" that we are into his 2nd term as manager, and we have seen little to suggest he is willing to correct his old failings and many fans are starting to lose faith in horans methods.

Always_Running · 26-06-2022 08:33AM

Yes factual and the small Mayo following that turned out to Croke Park for that 2011 quarter final backs up the point of doom and gloom there was at the time.

Now if gibberish is your thing well continue to follow Tim on twitter he's sure to keep you entertained.

Vish81 is Viper from mayogaablog and a pain in the hole on both forums

Cartman78 · 26-06-2022 09:07AM

Sandwiches made and ready to hit the road from Limerick with a very excited 9 year who should probably be more focused on the hurling team 😂

Travelling in hope more than expectation tbh....this team has given us some great days out so hoping today will be another one.

Stay safe folks

Update: bad start to the journey...the tyre pressure warning light came on when I hit the motorway...went as far as Birdhill and have a bad looking puncture..no spare so waiting now on Breakdown assist and hoping it's a quick fix. Have a repair kit myself but don't want to go fluting around with it and get stuck further up the road somewhere 🙄🙄🙄🙄

Disaster. I know a very good mobile mechanic in Limerick if it's any use to you

PARlance · 26-06-2022 10:41AM

There is a small bit of fear that we might not get going, but I think there's an equal amount of fear in Kerry that we might actually turn up.

Could be a cracker, I'm not going into it with doom and gloom anyway.

Huge game for Horan, Coen, Ruane, O'Shea, Loftus...they all need to stand up and deliver after a poor end of league/Championship. Huge chance for Carr and Carney to announce themselves when it really matters.

If they do, then maybe... But it's a large chunk of the team that needs to up their game.

Looking forward to the Armagh game as well.

I think you're out of the county for too long Cartman... I don't know any mayoman who would have paid any heed to that tyre pressure warning! Drive on, no plan B.

rogerywalters · 26-06-2022 10:45AM

Anyone here think 7/2 is good value?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119251340#Comment_119251340

After ROD confirmation its a bit short imo..

9/2,- 5/1 would be a fairer reflection.

Not really tbh although I'll probably throw a sneaky fiver on anyway. I find it very hard to make a case for us winning

Finally made it up to the big schmoke...head absolutely fried at this stage and gonna miss a chunk of the first game 😡

Completely sold out, should be some atmosphere!

One of the most inane and ridiculous posts I've ever read on this forum. Ever. I think it shows you don't really know what you are talking about, or else there is something actually wrong with you.

Personally I think you are just a WUM.

Unfortunately a lot of those Armagh fans will be well up the road by the Mayo Kerry 2nd half.

Some game this between Galway and Armagh. Few unsavoury scenes at the end but well set up for extra time.

Loafing Oaf · 26-06-2022 03:54PM

Kickoff resceduled for 4.45. Would always have struggled to make 4 p.m. with extra time, even without all the nonsense at the end of normal time. GAA will have to rethink this for future games...

PARlance · 26-06-2022 04:24PM

I'm usually this exhausted after a Mayo game, not before.

happyoutscan · 26-06-2022 05:10PM

Bright start but please leave the short kick outs for a nicer day.

happyoutscan · 26-06-2022 05:10PM

Clifford is struggling.

PARlance · 26-06-2022 05:12PM

We're awful open at the back and through the middle

happyoutscan · 26-06-2022 05:31PM

Gough is fcuking star struck.

PARlance · 26-06-2022 05:34PM

How did only one black card come from that.

Euphoriasean · 26-06-2022 05:34PM

That's was the most ridiculous black card I've seen in a long time.
