Mayo GAA Discussion

O'Loughlun was an obvious change. Coyne lucky to keep his spot imo. I would expect one change to that team. I think Conroy should start as he needs a full game under his belt if we hit CP.

The 2 half's backs in the forwards suggests to me a worry about midfield and a big emphasis on winning breaking ball. The scoring load is definitely placed on the FF line. There may be a change or though.

Johnny McHales or Maybe Irish House or Prendergasts would be the rugby pubs and showing the URC.

Mick Byrne might have the horse racing on.

Lively bars would be Bridge street,Irish House,Barrell And Castle (might be live music here,its the only late bar in town now unbelievably)

I find Mick Byrne's ok if you agree with him pontificating all the time. TBH, he thinks he's Gods gift to mankind on every topic under the sun. McHale's would be my go to pub for a pint and a bit of good banter.

In fairness, he looked much sharper last week in Omagh, best he's looked since 2021.

I don't think he'll be a prolific scorer but his pace can still cause a lot of problems and create a lot of chances for others - his decision making (when to pass, when to shoot ) is the main area that needs improvement now that he seems to have his sharpness back.

I don't have any memory of him being very good in those games, but tbh the last few years have had very few bright points in my mind....

Tommy Conroy's reputation has always really been hinging on the flashes he showed 2021 imo. The reality is he was always just a player who had potential but never quite capitalised on it due to the type of injuries he picked up. He isn't consistent or injury-free enough to be considered a top forward at this time, he is just someone people thought could have been. Hasn't proved it yet at all imo, and the fear for me is that the injuries are always going to be an issue.

Tommy had his moments back in those years , but in general he tends to drift in & out of games quite frequently.

Our victory over Dublin in AI semi -final he was non-existent for the majority of the game , but then came to life at the tail-end of normal time & extra time.

You only have to see how far ROD has developed compared to Tommy, given both players started their senior careers at the same time.

The industrial estate around there is a good spot.

Head exit by vantaive with a left turn on the breaffy es and you have you'll be on the new bypass in 2 mins. Don't try and turn right on to the moonen Rd as you get across.

It's probably easier to go out the Breaffy road and get on the bypass instead of going directly out the N5.

Meath could have been 12 up if they didn’t miss that free. That spurt before HT has made it a game again though.

Destroyed at midfield again, we might not have good fielders but Meath are winning some of them uncontested.

No shape to the defensive structure . They look like an u12 team back there. It’s probably the laziest performance I have ever seen, lads not willing to match runs, not sprinting back to get in position. Compare that to Meath, who are doing everything at pace on both sides of the field.

Attitude is the first thing that needs to chance! Need to show some passion.

I wonder did that lad’s reputation precede him?

Livingstone and Hession outstanding

I don’t know what else to say :D

Ref gave it, your opinion doesn't really matter. Chill the beans now.

Kerry and Mayo play their games Saturday I guess, would be unfair to give tomorrow's winners a 6 day break
