    My point was topping the group and avoiding the play off game is a better position to be in Éamonn Fitzmaurice made a similar point the other day.

    And with the exception of the 2021 All Ireland final, presumably

    Finals are different for Mayo.

    They have beaten everyone on the way to finals, and regularly have beaten the counties mentioned in the post I was replying to.

    Yes those Mayo teams back then was filled with known leaders you'd be happy to go to war with such as Chris Barrett,Lee Keegan, Keith Higgins, Colm Boyle;Tom Parsons;Cillian O’Connor Andy Moran. Current crop are a lot more inexperienced and it really won't be known until the knock out stages to see which leaders are in the team.

    They were beaten by a very average Kildare team in Newbridge not too long ago - it was recognised that a heavy run of games and injuries picked up along the way were a large factor as to why the team couldn't rally in extra time. They want to avoid coming third, and potentially having an away game against any of the opposition that I name, which could be a potential banana skin for the Mayo team. And incurs extra travel, which they could do without, considering the quarter final is on the following week.

    We are assuming that Kerry will top the group. On that basis, I feel it is crucial that Mayo come second if they want a continued run towards Sam. If they come third, and have to play the likes of Tyrone or Armagh in their home grounds, it will be a tough ask, and then to rally in a quarter final the following week. And God knows how many little knocks they will pick up along the way.

    I would have thought if it was being streamed as a subscription service you at least would not be subjected to adds!

    €12 to see the game, rip of Ireland in full flow.

    You can get a month of unlimited netflix for the same price just for comparison.

    O’Connor yellow for the crime of daring to touch Clifford. Was a foul just about



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,703 ✭✭✭✭Cartman78


    I hope we don't rue all these missed goal chances 😬

    Yep, should have buried the second one especially, was a very poor effort.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,329 ✭✭✭MayoForSam


    Going well, Carr looking very handy, could indeed regret the missed goal chances. Expect a Kerry backlash as they have a 28 year unbeaten record to protect.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭crusd


    If Kerry are as loose in the second half Conroy could have an impact



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭crusd


    the no tackling Clifford rule again



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,652 ✭✭✭✭km79


    That’s a statement win

    It’s almost as if there were mitigating circumstances for the Rossie loss

    Kerry are completely and utterly dependant on Clifford. If he gets injured they are done . Simple as that .

    Ourselves and Galway are on a huge collision course this summer I believe …….



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,707 ✭✭✭Blackjack


    Happy with that deserved win. Should have really won by more, Kerry keeper kept their score difference a lot more respectable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,261 ✭✭✭PressRun


    Should have hammered them out the gate really, but will take it. Eoghan working on his shooting is good.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 871 ✭✭✭RedDevil55


    Very encouraging win, didn't see it coming.

    If we can top the group now it could be huge. Straight into the quarter finals and can't draw Kerry again until the final.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,652 ✭✭✭✭km79




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 120 ✭✭Be-Jaysus


    You didn't see it coming because you got sucked into the RTE propaganda pushing, after Kerry beat some tier 3 opposition in Munster.

    The channel has a vice grip on peoples thoughts on all subjects across Ireland.

    Made good use to the 6 week break, lost challenges recently I understand but losing them probably was a blessing in disguise for Mayo to be fully focused this afternoon. Going to take a very good team to beat Mayo in the form they showed this afternoon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,261 ✭✭✭PressRun


    Good to see Matthew Ruane recapturing some form. He had a great game.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 871 ✭✭✭RedDevil55


    Open draw but I believe repeat pairings are avoided if possible?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭crusd


    O’Shea was excellent but would have had Ruane motm, with O’Shea, O’Connor and the rest of the ff line not far behind. In fairness its hard to pick out a poor performance



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 120 ✭✭Be-Jaysus


    Time for our fans to channel their own thoughts after watching games, instead of listening to TV channels & media pundits who big up certain teams in order to gain click$ off those who are gullible enough to buy them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 514 ✭✭✭TsuDhoNimh


    That's the most recent guidance on it.

    Avoiding Provincial Final and Round One repeats mentioned for pQFs and QFs but no restriction mentioned for the SFs.

    That said, the guidance there also doesn't mention that Provincial Final pairings couldn't be drawn in the group stage so potential they just missed the SF detail too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 120 ✭✭Be-Jaysus


    Just to re-in-force it to those who remain scarred from past failures via mis-management.

    Enjoy the weekend folks 👌



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,134 ✭✭✭crusd


    Good and all as today went the back of my mind asks how would we do if another team sets up like the rossies did. Louth could be a good tester against a defensive setup to see what answers we may have come up with



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 731 ✭✭✭Carol25


    Great win today, couldn’t help notice the media hype beforehand re Kerry were going to win based on nothing really. Mayo were written off very easily. They’re a very well organised outfit with the current management team. Get a funny feeling Galway are standing in our way later in the championship. Dublin could cause us bother but besides Mayo, Galway are the ones to watch I think…

    Galway looked ordinary enough against Tyrone. Maybe that's not a bad thing in that they're "solid", but I think Mayo are every bit as good as them as shown in both league games
