    Sure you've no axe to grind on the Mayo thread. Touch off back to your own side boss and throw in a few more digs comparing us to English fans.
    You'll have plenty of time to watch these threads for the rest of the summer.

    Just a week more than you!

    I don't think Sundays game will be classic or GOTY like some here and elsewhere think. It's going to be hard hitting tactical battle with few scores from play one goal will be huge in a game like this and i think Mayo will get it and i wouldn't be surprised if a player or two is sent off.

    Mayo 1-10 Donegal 0-11

    I'm thinking the same. It's a 50-50 game imo and will be a very physical encounter.

    All the talk of Mayo wanting revenge is good and well but that will be cancelled out by Donegal being fired up for it too, especially how they're being written off after the Ulster final and the fact they were relegated. I can see them being just as up for it as us.


    I take it the team will be named tomorrow night?

    Vaughan is well used to playing these games so it would be good to see him in.

    Big boost if COC starts. Not many would have thought we'd see him back for the quarters after that injury.

    How fit they actually are is another question..

    The big worry is O' Conors shoulder of course, I have no doubt that Donegal will target him early and with a few hard tackles to try and knock him out of the game.

    No, Donegal don't target anyone, they are the targets. Get it right.

    Think Dongeal are been a tad paranoid!
    Donegal selector Rory Gallagher with manager Jim McGuinnessSunday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-final between Donegal and Mayo is rapidly becoming the GAA's biggest grudge match in years.

    It follows sensational claims made by Donegal assistant manager Rory Gallagher that Mayo offered advice to Monaghan on how to beat the All-Ireland champions when the counties met in a challenge match before the Ulster final. And this has led Gallagher to believe that the heavy challenge by Monaghan's Stephen Gollogly that forced Mark McHugh's early withdrawal, and which left the Kilcar man with concussion, a burst ear drum and a quad muscle injury, was pre-meditated.

    "Maybe we suspect there was a bit of collusion between Monaghan and Mayo," Gallagher said in the Irish News.

    "Bear in mind Lee Keegan's tackle on Mark McHugh at the start of last year's All-Ireland final. When Lee Keegan got booked, he came out and winked at a team-mate as if to say 'job done'.

    "I don't believe for one minute that Gollogly went out to do the harm he did. He went out to hit him hard, but our player came out of it badly. I know Gollogly hurt himself as well.

    "I don't believe Malachy O'Rourke sent any player out to 'do' anyone. That is not in his nature. But ask some of the top referees to view the incident. Was it a dangerous tackle? It was reckless and dangerous. At the end of the day, that deserves a red card."

    The former Fermanagh star also claimed that well-known sports psychologist Kieran Shannon is advising Mayo manager James Horan on what to say to the media.

    "I think Horan works to a pre-mediated script and I think Kieran Shannon is behind a good bit of it," Gallagher continued.

    "I know Shannon fairly well. He was involved with Fermanagh when Malachy O'Rourke was there. I think Shannon is behind Horan's statements." - See more at: http://www.hoganstand.com/Mayo/ArticleForm.aspx?ID=197876#sthash.sYWa3Iiq.dpuf

    I can't believe Rory Gallagher has said this; along with Mc Guinness' words at the weekend, this has really taken the sheen off Donegal for me.
    We all know what goes on in dressing rooms around the country, "Nail ........... early and get him rattled and we'll see how he likes it", that's part of our game and many others but for the Donegal management to come out in such a hypocritical manner is disappointing! Just look at McLoone taking out Joe McMahon a few ago and getting a pat on the back from his manager for doing so, or the way Alan Dillon was basically stopped everywhere he went in last years All Ireland final, not to mention the way COC was branded about by the McGees, but you dont come out in this manner, it's disappointing and I for one will relish our win on Sunday.
    Aside; Lacey is named at 6 which can only be positive for us; he's clearly unfit and from what I've "heard", is playing injured with a serious knee condition. Coc should take him for a bit of a walk and I'd say AOS will walk over him in the first few min. Also, it's a big game for Dillon, I know he got an All Star last year but I thought he was well marshalled in the final by the then, teak tough Donegal defence.
    Maigh Eo abu!

    Look, this reeks of the tactic used by murinho and other epl managers to deflect attention onto themselves and the other teams instead of their own players.
    Mcguinness is savvy enough to know that this works so hopefully the Mayo players and staff dont bite.

    If Donegal keep this sh1te up turning a game into a media circus, then I hope Mayo beat them by a cricket score.

    that's just hilarious

    It's one thing to play mind games and talk like Jimmy did on Saturday night, it's another think to have your minions out talking that sort of crap mid week.

    Donegal are not in the place they want to be.
    They had planned on winning Ulster and having two weeks to recover and get ready for a QF v a qualifier, but now they are onto their third game in two weeks against a strong team, with a battered squad and they have to resort to this silliness to try and give themselves an edge

    On another point this Monaghan v Mayo challenge game a few weeks about is taking on mythical status at this stage, it's talked about more than a lot of championship games

    Mayo and Monagahn played a challenege match behind closed doors on the Tuesday night before the Connacht Final and i believe they bate the **** out of each other, no quarter asked or given, on the instructions of both managers. Monaghan feel it was a great preparation for their game V Donegal and helped them no end. Maybe this is what Gallagher is moaning about?

    Just noticed Fr Tods post on same

    there allowed do this right there was nothing stopping donegal from playing a challenge game.
    seeing that it was monagahn that we played and that they went on to beat them well if it was the rossies that we played in a challenge there would be nothing said about it.

    As a neutral this only spices up Sunday. Everyone jockeying for an edge. What are the chances Jimmy knocks Jamesy's cap off and we get another ruckus on the sideline?
