    Ye did have a fair old go at blowing it alright.

    Tbh I was getting a bit jittery myself with Langan coming in. He has been sitting on the bold step for a while and I had a feeling he might believe he had point to prove. The rest seemed to feed off that and the tempo changed for that second half.

    I know it not ideal for Mayo having Kerry next week, but it`s better making a final than being relegated in your last league game before the championship.

    The notion of players who were not good enough in their prime coming back is just ridiculous. Sure Regan only ever showed glimpse of been at the IC standard and lacked a real physical strength to take tackles and stay on his feet. Some awful BS is sprouted around….I would rather give an U20 a crack than see him back

    Are we not overreacting to a tiny minority who might be calling for these players to be in the panel. I've yet to come across anyone in person who thinks the likes of Regan should be called back.

    From my experience, most people realise that what a player does for their club doesn't always transfer to intercounty football.

    We've had plenty of examples of players shooting the lights out in club football and it not being transferred to county. I think most people are aware that it's not a good foundation for an argument.

    All seems to be getting a bit late in the day now for both him and Conroy. Don't see how either could be up to speed on time for championship having not played a second of the league.

    He picked up a hamstring niggle after the Armagh game which kept him out of the Kerry match.
    Got 13 minutes against Derry and another 23 against Donegal, so possibly just easing him back into the action there.

    I think it's getting too late as well. It's not like the old days with 4-5 weeks between championship games giving players a chance to get back. Diarmuid looks like the best bet but he never seems far away from another injury. The miles on the clock for him and Paddy might be showing now.

    Were my ears playing tricks or did you get a special mention on the Ah Ref podcast as the man for stats @TsuDhoNimh?

    It'll be interesting to see if Neary can force a starting spot for himself come the championship. He had a great league for a young guy new to the set-up but I think he'll probably be coming off the bench, and no harm in that at this stage for him. If Diarmuid gets back fit (for championship) then I think we'll be looking at the the same forwards vs Donegal with Diarmuid in for McHale.

    Starting to look forward to Sunday now and in particular how McHugh can measure up to Clifford. Thought he did as good as a job as you can do on Clifford in the recent match, but I don't think Clifford was fully firing at that stage.

    Nice win for the u20s against Galway earlier. Very entertaining game to watch.

    Very entertaining U20 game surely. Some very impressive ball winners around the centre which is what our senior team is crying out for. Despite the scoreline the forward line will need to improve a lot. So much careless wastage of the huge volume of ball delivered in from out the field.

    Some great fielding from them. Surprised you thought they were wasteful, I actually thought the opposite and was impressed with the forwards. Hurley and Burns came up with two huge two pointers in the second half. I did think they could have been more clinical with their goal chances. There was a great chance for a goal in the first half but they opted for a fisted point and they messed up the goal chance at the very end… very fortunate to get the penalty I thought.

    I don't think the Galway camp was too happy with the ref afterwards, surely he had to allow them to take that free from just outside the arch at the very end to potentially level it.

    I thought there was a 20 minute period before half time where Mayo were cleaning up at midfield. Should have been much further ahead at the break and we ended up having to dig it out at the end. A lot of sloppy high passes and lack of killer instinct for that goal chance you mentioned. Possibly overcarrying the ball at times and by the time the pass was given the receiver was tackled and dispossessed.

    Plenty to build on. The talent seems to be there. It's just more discipline needed to give more accurate passes earlier.

    Yeah Galway should have been given chance to take last free.

    Funny the way we see it differently. I would have said that in general the forwards were impressive and did a good job of getting us back into the game after we had let ourselves down defensively... Their 3 goals (and scores around them) came at important times and when we were generally on top, putting us on the back foot. I thought the forwards showed great composure to keep chipping away to get us the win.

    For those travelling up to Dublin on Sunday, please be aware there is a charity tractor run in Strokestown around midday that may cause some holdups. The run is due to commence from the town centre from 12:30pm out the N5, turning off at Scramogue. Traffic management will be in place for through traffic to minimise any disruption, but please allow a little additional travel time if you are passing through then.

    Will be interesting to see how McHugh (and the team in general) handles Clifford on Sunday. If we don't gain the upper hand at MF, he's going to be under pressure. With that in mind, I'd say we'll start with a lot of height on Sunday.

    I'm surprised that we didn't try either of the sub keepers during the league; if Reape gets injured, who's going to step in? I think one of them should have gotten 2-3 starts anyway

    That's a strong line out. Great to see Neary back as Croke Park should suit his pace and he now has a bit of experience under his belt since the first Dublin game.

    Full back line may be tested. Still lacking a bit of height back there. Expecting a big performances from Callinan and McBrien on the fast Croker surface.

    I hope Darren McHale proves me wrong as he hasn't shown himself to be anything like an intercounty No. 11 so far.

    Darren is the name that really stands out there alright. Looks like a strong team otherwise.

    Can't see that half forward line starting, not enough fielding ability in it. I would expect Kelly or McLaughlin to come into the HB line at the expense of McHale or Neary (with Carney into the HF line and Coen or Callinan in Mf)

    Andy Moran getting great praise for his work with Monaghan. Lot's on here were not in favour of him getting a role in the Mayo setup last year.
