Iam starting to believe the rumor that went around awhile back that he did his hamstring in a tubber game

Kalyke · 22-06-2019 6:58pm

Mayo are on telly tonight!.... Well, featuring in the RTE build up to the Munster final. Telly on mute, Mid West up full belt. Like old times!

km79 · 22-06-2019 7:17pm

Shambolic start
And the inexplicable omission of a few forward options going to hurt now with Coen gone

seligehgit · 22-06-2019 7:48pm

Three up at the break.

Aidan has been outstanding,Fionn is the pick of the forwards.

Very soft down the middle.Down are very pacey and our lads at times seem a bit leggy.

No idea what the Darren Coen's black card was for.

Ya he played in jeans and runners

km79 · 22-06-2019 8:22pm

David Clarke to the rescue

km79 · 22-06-2019 8:30pm

SOooooooo slow to make changes again

Loafing Oaf · 22-06-2019 8:40pm

How are they still playing? Munster final is over and they played 5 minutes injury time...

seligehgit · 22-06-2019 8:42pm

A win is a win but we'll have to improve beyond all recognition.

I'd say we'd take any of the Leinster teams or Clare or Sligo even a bit off our best. But then I probably said similar before the Kildare game last year...

km79 · 22-06-2019 8:53pm

Overall
Worried

And what’s worse is there is nobody else out there resembling any sort of threat to Dublin

SeanJ09 · 22-06-2019 9:03pm

Poor from us. 6 point win in the end was generous to Mayo. Down could have had a couple of goals if not for David Clarke and poor shooting.

Bunny Colvin · 22-06-2019 9:13pm

Job done but glaring deficiencies at the back. We were wide open there at times, a good team would have taken us to the cleaners. Not sure what Horan was at with the lack of changes either. Andy left on far too long as well. Don't want to be too critical but serious improvement needed.

Aidan O'Shea, Boyler and Clarke probably our best three.

Serious Mayo support despite the throw-in time, best fans in Ireland.

Bunny Colvin · 22-06-2019 9:15pm

Also, Down supporters are the soundest bunch you'll come across.

Very harsh re Andy,he was excellent tonight.Linked up play very well,primary score creator.

Aidan is doing so much heavy carrying for the team ATM.David Clarke made a couple of great saves,justified his status as our best goalkeeper.

Conor Loftus contributed little outside a rather shaky performance on the frees.

I'm not having a go at Andy, Seligehgit. I thought he played well but you've to be thinking of next week, fresh legs would have been no harm.

Agreed on Loftus. Surprised he stayed on. I thought Regan showed well, got in front of a lot of ball, won his frees and worked hard.

Loftus got at least 1-1 from play and if he had been played in by others would have got more. In contrast Doherty and McLoughlin butchered numerous chances and I don't think either of them scored from play..

Which is a huge worry tbh

I have looked at RTE and McLoughlin did get a point but Keegan got three from play and Barrett also got one so we need more return from our experienced players up front before criticising the likes of Loftus who also was on free taking duties.

That said, our main problem this evening was in defence and our vulnerability to direct running and pace.

wirelessdude01 · 22-06-2019 11:05pm

3 substitutions after the 69th minute. Far far too late. Boland was ready for at least 10 minutes before he actually came on. Bib was off and on twice. Was like the management weren't sure.

Wide open down the centre despite playing Boyler as a sweeper. No tracking of runners.

Doc and Kev were pretty anonymous this evening. Think keV in particular is playing his way off the team. Too jittery.

naughto · 22-06-2019 11:18pm

I am hoping there’s a lot of heavy training going on back line again cut to pieces like the rossie game

Why would there be heavy training in the middle of championship!? Its not even a player issue, its the defensive system that's seriously flawed.

Exactly. James Horan has never deployed a sweeper system. In his final two games in his last tenure against Kerry, he failed to give Cafferkey any support at fullback in dealing with Donaghy. I can't remember how many points we were up with 14 men in the drawn game but all we had to do was shut up shop but we stayed man to man.

Yeah, the days of heavy training are well done at this stage

seligehgit · 22-06-2019 11:45pm

Only home games possible are Tyrone,Kildare and Clare?

Fr Tod Umptious · 22-06-2019 11:47pm

Did not get a chance to follow the game on the radio so it sounds like it from here and elsewhere that they were unimpressive in the win

And I had this thought
Looking back on it with a few championship weeks played the League is beginning to have the following, less optimistic, narrative than it has before the Roscommon game

My thinking was that this team were back because they won the league with fresh blood and no Cillian

But look at it this way
They beat Roscommon on a terrible night but gave up a late goal, Roscommon whet on to to win Connacht, a better night and they may have won in Castlebar in January
They beat Tyrone when Tyrone were slow out of the starting blocks after an all Ireland final appearance the year before, something we in Mayo know a lot about. Had they meet Tyrone in the second last rather than the second league game then Mayo may not have won
They beat Cavan unimpressively
They got hammered by Dublin
They preformed poorly v Galway
They beat a Kerry team that are are showing to be less likely contenders with every passing game
They beat a Monaghan team that are now out of the Championship
They beat a Kerry team that are are showing to be less likely contenders with every passing game

So overall maybe Mayo's league win was less impressive than I initially thought
They honestly could struggle to get to the last 8, let alone get out of a group

I dont really buy this tbh. If you want to judge in this manner then you can say dublin lost to the now eliminated monaghan team...

I think we just need to calm down a little and look at the facts. The first one being we are on the backfoot with a lot of injuries. The second one being confidence was undoubtedly well down after the roscommon game.
We need a bit of luck in the next draw and if we get it we might have some breathing room to build momentum.
We won the game and that was all we needed to do. Now onto game 4

km79 · 23-06-2019 12:33am

Delighted to have another game to go to
Not like last year !
Easiest draw possible please
Try and get through next 2 rounds and get lads match fit

I seriously think something is up with Cillian though and that’s why Loftus was put in today . Not just for today.......
If so we are in trouble
