Mayo GAA Discussion Part 2

Rochford mentioned on TG4 that this is part of Cillian's rehab. I'd say he'll get a few minutes towards the end to just start easing him back into the swing of things.

To be fair, Roscommon aren't exactly setting the world alight. The pitch is a virtual bog, an utter disgrace for both teams. Mayo should be out of sight at this stage though.

Forwards just not good enough, its what continues to limit this team.

Don't know what Freeman was doing in general play in that first half. Called for 2 balls and got turned over both times.

Edit : Another prime example of him running up an alley-way there.

What is AOS even doing?

Lovely bit of skill from COC, great to have him back.

Jesus, if we throw away an 8 point lead to this lot we deserve to be relegated.

VERY WELL DONE,MAYO

Good to get that win, away from home, under pressure, against the form team of the spring.

Roll on next week, hopefully we win and don't get unlucky and lose out on points diff.

Showed good enough resilience to hold on in the conditions. We were the better team and deserved to win. The goal should not have happened and we should have won by a lot more, but a win is a win.

Evan Regan gave a very good account of himself. Great to see Cillian back too.

Well deserved win in atrocious conditions. Regan finally stood up after all the injuries and looked like the championship starter that he can be. Paddy Durcan continues to look the real deal as well. We still look like we'll be a big threat once we get our best team fully fit and on to the field in decent football conditions. Just need to beat Down now and then get ready for the real stuff from June onwards.

Not sure what you can say about the whole Roscommon setup today but I'll try anyway. The Hyde is a ****ehole anyway but today was a new low. Apart from all the standing water it looked like they'd driven 50 laps through it on their bus before throw in. It was like watching that GAA Gold program showing matches from the 1970s on TG4 today.

The game should not have been played on that pitch and there should be no further inter county football played there until such time as both the pitch and spectator facilities are brought up to standard. It's not everyone else's fault they've allowed it to fall into that state and other teams shouldn't have to deal with their issues - if they want to play their own club games in that place, that's fine. They couldn't even put proper communications lines into place for radio broadcasts today.

And for all their shouting their team didn't look anything special either.
