Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Absolutely do not want Derry. Banana skin written all over it .
Monaghan please
If not then Cork
100%. Today was a huge performance considering the football that we have been playing last year and this year to-date. I don't care about the what ifs about today as what we did today is a huge step that I didn't even think was possible. They need to deliver another performance the next day and roll into the quarter finals in good form with confidence and believe. We need Monaghan as we always have trouble beating Cork and Derry will be sticky.
Yeah part of me thinks there's a sting in Derry yet and part of me thinks they're waiting to be put out of their misery. It's a potential dodgy one. I also happen to think the same about Cork. They scuppered our season last year, there's no reason it couldn't happen again this year, they're very unpredictable.
ciaran mcfaull and diarmuid baker starting to show form , they are the most dangerous team you could get , monaghan all day is the best draw
Derry next week.
Not ideal
Mayo v Derry, tough enough draw
Disaster of a draw.
Ah Derry were beaten out the gate in 3 of their last four games and lucky to beat Westmeath. Mayo will win .
Mayo to lose, Galway and Roscommon to win vs the Nordies.
worst possible draw
Mayo are absolutely braindead at times. It's mind-boggling.
Boy, I would love to shut Brolly up with this one!
Derry look a team walking on shells. I expect mayo to win this.
I agree. After Mayo's impressive performance yesterday Derry should be more worried than us.
The main issue Mayo have now is not being ruthless enough going for goals. Points tapped over when players were free inside. We won't beat Dublin or Kerry without at least 1 goal as yesterday showed.
On the flipside we didn't concede any which is also important.
Not a good draw. "Trouble in the camp", "Harte has lost the dressing room", "ran out of gas after the league" etc etc etc. Has all the hallmarks of an ambush tbh.
Winning this would not shut Brolly up.
I believe Brolly is no fan of Hearts stewardship of Derry.
Based on recent form, we should beat Derry reasonably comfortably but if they could manage to get out of the rut they're in, we'd be in trouble
So you'd prefer hearing that team spirit is the best it has been with Derry hammering every team in front of them coming into next weeks game?
Derry are a division 1 side and Mayo won't take anything for granted after losing the league match to them. If we lose it will just be that they are too good for us, not an ambush.
Was at the match yesterday with the kids, it was v enjoyable overall but obviously disappointing that we didn't get over the line. You have to hand it to Dublin though, the absolute belief and composure they had to win that last ball and go down and get the equaliser was unbelievable; yes we should have been more cynical but they deserve some credit also.
Despite nearly winning, there are still areas we can improve on though - missed 3-4 easy enough points by dropping the ball short. Coughed up a couple of goal chances that Dublin might have scored on another day and had a few half-chances ourselves that we didn't take
Was McLaughlin injured or what? He was down getting treatment 5-10 min before going off so I presume it was an injury.
McHugh was very effective yesterday, Fenton has destroyed us on a few occasions in the last few years so it was great to keep him fairly quiet for once. Our forward play was much better also, players were running harder lines that in our previous couple of matches, having Tommy C in the half forward line helped with that.
No, I didn't say that at all. I'm saying that I can see this week being a lot of talk about Derry being a busted flush but there could very well be a sting in them yet and it would be fairly typical that we'd bear the brunt of that.
Why do they struggle so much against the dubs
I'd agree that Derry will get a bit of a bounce from winning last week after losing a lot of games together. But I still don't think Mayo will be caught unawares. It's more about recovering from the exertions of yesterday.
We tend to get focused and perform when it gets to knockout stage while we can be a bit listless sometimes in Connacht and group games.
because its the bones of the best football team ever? id wager that has somethign to do with it. you will often find that in sport that teams struggle against better teams.
Not a notion Tyrone will wipe the floor with Roscommon,the rossies have being very poor an the manager of there's is no help to them.
Everyone struggles against the dubs. They've only lost 4 championship games since 2011 and, funnily enough, 2 of them were vs Mayo.
Remember folks, don't feed the trolls!!!
Sunday at half 2 mayo derry
Cork for me would have been the worst draw. We always find it very hard to defeat them and they are on the back of decent displays. Derry on the other hand have struggled since the league win. Granted they have some excellent footballers but they are clearly not firing… Glass has played some amount of football over the last 12 months. So if Mayo turn out another performance like yesterday, it should be enough to win. Yesterday performance has to bring huge belief that they can mix it with the best and not let it go down as a one off performance.
where did you hear that?
Many are being a bit harsh on Mayo imo, that was brilliant football by Dublin in the last play, three players all contributing with some great individual actions, it happens. Maybe we could have been a bit cynical and started soemthing but who knows how a free might have worked out, Dublin are so clinical in setting up a scoring chance. It's not as if we won posession and got turned over or kicked it away.
