I thought Rochford took a bit of a gamble building his team around Evan Regan at full-forward but it's payed off, confirmation coming with that MOTM award last weekend. Hard to call concerning Doherty as his partner inside. He's had very good performances there for his college but his best performances in a Mayo jersey came at wing-half.

Cillian O'Connor will probably displace him and will undoubtedly suit the kind of football that Rochford is trying to play. If it's half as entertaining as what Corofin served up last year then football fans around the country are in for a real treat.

Just seen the talk of Higgins in the HF line, surely if anyone's going to get moved there it's Lee Keegan? He's great at tight marking and we need someone to defend from the front like how Connolly did in the replay last year. He takes his points well also. Higgins is a quality defender with a good turn of pace, let's leave him where he should be.

For anyone thinking of going to the London game there may be a problem getting tickets.

See below which was taken from Hoganstand.

Connacht Council secretary John Prenty has predicted that there could be a shortage of tickets for Mayo's provincial clash against London in Ruislip.

The Emerald Grounds in Ruislip will not be able to facilitate the large numbers keen to attend the opening match in the Connacht senior football championship.

And Prenty feels that many Mayo supporters who are keen to attend the match could be left without tickets given the small capacity of the grounds.

Speaking to the Mayo News he said: "I'd say tickets are going to be very tight. I think there will be people who'll be disappointed.

"I'd be saying to people to make sure you have a ticket. A lot of people already have their travel arrangements made.

"They've (London GAA board) been selling tickets online for the last ten days, so what's left or available, I don't know. We're waiting on word back from London to see exactly what they have sold.

"It's part of our twinning with London and New York that they have full control of the arrangements for their game. It's not a Connacht Council gate, we have to wait and see what the next move from London is."

It's a balls have flights booked since Christmas iam sure we will find a watering hole some where to keep us happy if we don't get tickets

Club secretaries are advised to contact the county secretary Mark Gottsche to request allocation of tickets.

Yeah it's part of a double header with the Cork Monaghan clash.I'm really looking forward to it.Dublin by all accounts had to hang tough against Kildare last day out.

Will the U21 match be shown on TG4? I'm going to try and make it, but just in case I can't, it'd be great to be able to watch it.

The Mayo ladies are beating before and behind them. 7/7 for them!

So how's everybody feeling about the big game on Saturday?It would be a massive boost morale wise if our under 21s could go to secure an All Ireland title.I don't know much about the Dublin team but they have a proven record at this level in recent years.Two very strong teams going head to head in the other semi final.

PressRun · 14-04-2016 06:44PM

It would be great to get the win. They're going to have to be a bit quicker out of the blocks than they were against Roscommon though. Don't think I'm going to make it to Tullamore unfortunately, but hopefully I'll catch it on television.

yop · 14-04-2016 10:28PM

It would be a massive boost to get a result there. Can see a few of them lads pushing big time for a senior spot and a in in this could only help them

seligehgit · 14-04-2016 10:34PM

Hope I'm right but this bunch of lads from the 2013 All Ireland minor winning side seem to have that winning mentality.The Connaught final was a game they had no right to win but yet they dug out a result.

Anyways best of luck to the lads on Saturday.There would be the added bonus of getting a win against an adversary we haven't been having a great amount of success against recently.

It's a younger team this year, no big stars on it.

davegrohl48 · 15-04-2016 07:30AM

I think the big pitch will help our inside line.
You have the four seniors around the middle then; Diarmuid, Stephen Coen. Michael Hall and Conor Loftus.
Mayo need to get the ball in early to Irwin, Reape and Duffy.

Thing to note would be the couple of lads that came on for 30 minutes from boden, have Castlebar added anyone to the panel
