Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

rebel girl 15

New thread continued from here.

Welcome to the Mayo GAA discussion thread.

This is one of the most active forums on Boards.ie. As a result, discussion can get quite heated. But there are certain things posters must realise are simply not OK to post:

- Personal abuse of anyone be they other posters, players, managers, referees, pundits etc. Any personal abuse will result in an infraction or a ban.

- Rumours about players'/managers'/anyone's personal lives. This should be self explanatory. Apart from being a dickish thing to do, it can lead to legal trouble for Boards.

- Trolling. Again, self explanatory. Trolls will be banned for a long time.

- Accusations of trolling. Report a post if you suspect it to be trolling. Do not call a troll out on thread as this will be considered back seat modding.

- Speculation into the identity of another poster. This is a site-bannable offence.

This list is not exhaustive. Either myself or another mod may add to this as we see fit. Just because a certain behaviour isn't listed, doesn't mean you can't be banned for it.
The general Boards.ie rule of Don't be a Dick always applies.

If you feel a post breaks the rules, simply click the red triangle underneath the post in question to report the post and a mod will deal with it as they see fit.

So be civil to each other and happy posting.

Okay, so Cork topped the table last year in the league, Kerry finished just above relegation. How did the Munster and AI series end up for both of them?

Who said they were no threat......

Anyway, welcome to the Mayo forum, we love facts here

Did he not state something that's fact.
4 losses from 5 games.
Mayo have been a shambles this year so far, that's another fact.

Your sarcastic response to my first post suggests to me that you laughed at the mere suggestion that Roscommon could beat Mayo in League or Championship, that they were no threat.

It's true, strong league form often doesn't translate to Championship success. But you have to give them credit for their results and have the humility to respect them as challengers to the Connacht Championship.

We'll see what happens on Sunday. Looking forward to a great game.

There you go Yop. You lack humility. That's your problem. Sure I've been saying that for years.

No, you've been saying humanity, at least get that fact right will you.

And Dublin aren't the form team either, now thats another fact, isn't it

:P:P

Two people with facts where in trouble now

Unexpected good league form does not necessarily translate to Championship success.

Yops example of Cork over the last few years shows that.

Mayo in '07, '10 are also good examples.

So I'll not worry about Roscommon until we meet them in the Championship, assuming other results go both teams way of course.

Never seen Mayo in such a fluster before a league match. Jesus.

No a fluster is when Rossies implode last year and posters disappear for 4 months.
If Rossies win fair play to them. Playing great football and will set them up for a big year.

So you're not bothered about being relegated to Division 2?

At this stage if Mayo win then it will be a big shock.

Nothing in the post you quoted refers to Mayo and Div 2, so why are you asking me am I worried about it.

For my opinions on Mayo and Div 2 read a few pages back.

Worth a read for anyone grandstanding about relegation.

Regarding the Mitchels lads I'd be seriously concerned with Tom Cunniffe's form,I think he'll a fight on his hand to secure a championship start with Brendan Harrison performing quite well in the league.

Not convinced by Danny Kirby,as mentioned already he was'nt overly convincing in last year's league and had a very poor day out in the All Ireland club final.TBF it was endemic on that sorry day.He's definitely worth bringing into the squad though and one can see how he develops.

Patrick Durkan must be in real contention to start on Sunday,he is potentially a real gem.

Is there even the remotest possibilty the game will be moved from the Hyde with the forecast for heavy downpours over the latter half of the week?Can't imagine it would be feasible to contemplate moving it with the crowd expected....

Páirc Seán Mac Diarmada is ready as an alternative venue.

Durkan and Moran are the only 2 possibilities, Cunniffe has had a poor 12 months and Danny Kirby is not there, he may yet, but not for this term.

You are aware the Roscommon are playing Mayo this Sunday right?
You are aware that a loss for Mayo means relegation, unless Monaghan lose both remaining home games right?

Keep up!

Anyone hear that Cillian O'Connor is supposedly back in training? Haven't been around or online for the last few days, so only hearing about this now that I'm home.

As Yop said it's all about facts here

Syferus posts on the day of the Sligo V Roscommon game last year

And then disappears, only to turn up in the Cavan thread 3 days later, and if that was not enough he\she goes missing for a another 7 days, this time reappearing in the Mayo thread.

If that's not being very quiet I don't know what is.

That would be great. Will take him a while to get near fitness though.

Any chance some of the U21 will get a chance? Great return from play against Leitrim.

Oh I'm keeping up alright, if you bothered to read my posts here and on other threads you would realise that.

A Monaghan win and a Mayo loss will relegate Mayo.
A Mayo win will allow them to fight another day, as could a loss if Monaghan also lose.

But ironically two Mayo wins could still relegate them if they are in a tie breaker with 2 or more teams (Mayo have bad points difference) or if they are in a head to head with Donegal or Cork
And in theory they could also make the playoffs.

That's a article about Limerick who have spent 7 seasons outside the 'top flight' in hurling

It bares zero relation to Mayo being relegated to Div 2 in football.

If Mayo spend 7 years in Div 2, you might have a point.

Oh and who is grandstanding about relegation by the way ?

The same people who are getting flustered ?

Agreed. Have no idea if he's at a stage where he could appear for a few minutes towards the end of a match or some such, but it's great that he's starting to get back into the swing of things anyway, if it's true. Think Keith Higgins is expected back for Roscommon too (apologies if this was already mentioned a few pages back).
