I wouldn't bother. You don't need to email him, he'll be giving ye those away anyway, particularly if ye are any distance behind.

He referreed Cavan and Fermanagh in the league this year and was terrible.

He allowed cynical fouling the whole way through the game. Cian Mackey wasn't allowed run more than 4 or 5 feet without being pulled down.

He also missed some of the oldest tricks in the game e.g. Backs grabbing forwards by the arm and pulling them down so it looks like they fall together.

To top it off, he carded a Fermanagh man 3 times without realising. The whole crowd were roaring at him when he gave the second yellow and didn't send him off.

He red carded 3 FermanGh men then in the last five minutes (including the one who he realised should have been off already). Not much point at that stage.

I missed the cards as I left with five minutes left. First game I've ever left due to being hugely frustrated by a referee's performance.

And yes, he was THAT bad.

Was that Marty or Michael? Or is it a case of one been worse than the other. What was the yellow count in the Gway Mayo match? I think I heard 15!!!

Michael.

Always_Running · 08-06-2013 04:37PM

Michael sounds worse than Marty.

klairondavis · 08-06-2013 06:34PM

As unbelievable as it sounds, he is worse.

Syferus · 08-06-2013 06:59PM

Sure I think he's grand altogether now.

Worst I ever seen and I come from a county that sends out Joe McQullian so I know what bad is!

Bring back Brian Crowe!

MaroonAndGreen · 12-06-2013 08:01PM

So hoping Mayo line out like this:

1. Clarke
2. Higgins
3. Cafferky
4. Cunniffe
5. Boyle
6. Vaughan
7. Keegan
8. A. O'Shea
9. S. O'Shea
10. Dillon
11. Feeney
12. Carolan
13. Varley
14. Moran
15. Freeman

Difficult decisions for Horan to make, especially with the forward line, thought we would struggle to find scores in Salthill, but Varley stood up to the task and Mayo will need him and others to do this again in what will be a bigger test.

Great to have Andy back, and his inclusion, doubled with Donie Shine missing for Roscommon, should make the task more straightforward for Mayo.

Mayo by 5-6 points.

Syferus · 12-06-2013 08:09PM

Donie will probably be on the bench, lads.

what sort of injury is he carring any way
or is he just a big girls blouse:pac::pac:

Syferus · 12-06-2013 08:15PM

Picked up a hamstring injury against GMIT in the FBD and played the next week against ye in Ballyhaunis and it reoccurred. Same deal three more times since then, it's just a nagging injury rather than a season ender. The papers are playing it up that he won't feature but from what I've heard he'll be named on the 26 and could feature in the second half.

Always_Running · 12-06-2013 08:17PM

He's not going to score much starting on the bench. Only two of the St Brigids players starting i guess if Ian Kilbride,Darragh Donnelly were fit and Peter Domican didn't opt out it would be 5. Donal Ward is another good defender not starting.

Mayo probably will make only one change Coen or Andy for O'Connor and should win this game by a bit to spare.

Syferus · 12-06-2013 08:27PM

Donie can score plenty if his hamstring holds up. That's the big if. Donnelly wouldn't have started, he's not had much time to make the team. May have featured as a sub, though.

Ian would have been my first choice to go with the Dalys in the HB line but with both Keenan and Wardie there we at least have good depth.

Not fair to say Roscommon are weak, any team could suprise you in championship by how good they are or how much theyve improved in a year

Sure why not just skip the whole championship and talk about how you will fare in the AI final!

MaroonAndGreen · 12-06-2013 08:36PM

Its a nice change from 2011, no cocky Rossies anymore, I seem to remember they thought they were favourites back then :P

Ahhhh funny to see how things change in 2 years

Reading this it appears John Evans was going to start Donnelly until he got injured.

Oh, we're still plenty cocky. You should be even more wary of us when we're playing the poor mouth.

Yeah true, but home advantage didnt count for much in Salthill did it?

I dunno, I guess I just dont like Mayo to be complacent, that includes players and fans!

Would have to wonder where Mayo would be now if they didn't win that 2011 Connacht title. It was a turning point and Mayo haven't looked back since.

Evans is a cute hoor but regardless with the way we were lining up in challenge games there was little room for Donnelly to start, particularly in the HB line which is his natural position.

His best hope would have been starting as a HF and going back to play as the sweeper but even then it would have been a big risk to start a guy who got no league time and wasn't even on the panel last year in the first championship game.

Roscommon are weak this year and without shine Kilbride needs to be perfect

The instant experts are out in force, it must be summertime.

It sounds good in your head to try out words like 'weak' but how much does anyone dealing in that language actually know? Have they even seen the team play even once this year?

Mayo are strong this year but you're in no way unbeatable.

Team named

From the Mayo GAA blog

We’ve just named our team to face Roscommon in the Connacht semi-final at McHale Park on Sunday (throw-in 4pm) and, as expected, there’s only one change from the side that started against Galway last month with Richie Feeney lining out at centre-forward in place of the injured Cillian O’Connor. While Richie has appeared at some stage in almost every championship match we’ve played under James Horan, this is his first championship start since the 2011 All-Ireland semi-final against Kerry. Here’s the starting fifteen in full:
Mayo (Connacht SFC v Roscommon, 16/6/2013): David Clarke (Ballina Stephenites); Tom Cunniffe (Ballina Stephenites), Ger Cafferkey (Ballina Stephenites), Keith Higgins (Ballyhaunis); Lee Keegan (Westport), Donal Vaughan (Ballinrobe), Colm Boyle (Davitts); Aidan O’Shea (Breaffy), Seamus O’Shea (Breaffy); Kevin McLoughlin (Knockmore), Richie Feeney (Castlebar Mitchels), Cathal Carolan (Crossmolina); Enda Varley (Garrymore), Alan Freeman (Aghamore), Alan Dillon (Ballintubber).
Like the Rossies, we’ve opted not to name our list of subs at this stage.

Havent seen a huge amount of him so could be completely wrong but is Feeney really any good as a forward? He seems to be a decent wing back (not brilliant but solid). Usually that does not translate into a particularly good half forward.
