I think you're about right on the certainties there. Though I think Jordan Flynn will start if Jason Doherty still isn't up to speed (which he might not be given training etc is now off).

One hundred percent same thinking.

Jordan Flynn will likely start if Doc isn't fit.

Strange times we're in. I think we'll be very lucky to see a championship at all this year tbh.

Might watch some old games in the meantime. Anybody have any favourties from down through the years? I still have great love for the 2006 Dublin Mayo match myself.

Cork 2011.
Dublin 2012.
Galway 2013.

All great days out.

Personally think there won't be an AI championship this year at all.

We'd have to win the All Ireland to surpass 2006 for how epic it was. Although I'd probably have 2017 in there at number 2 even though we lost. Probably the best AI finl in living memory

Mayo vs Galway 1998 was on Tnag today at around 4,. It's funny when you see the game and how slow it is based on today's game. There was a hit and hope style to play where the ball was kicked in and competition for it was 50/50 where today it's a procession based/holding onto the ball until a chance for a score is created.

seligehgit · 16-03-2020 11:43pm

If Padraig O Hora brings his Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week performances on to the pitch this summer we'll be blessed ( if in fact we've a championship ).

PressRun · 17-03-2020 1:41pm

Have always loved the 2013 quarter final v Donegal too. One-sided and not exactly competitive, but was very cathartic at the time!

Might rewatch the 2013 semi-final between Kerry and Dublin too. My all-time favourite game.

My understanding is, and I may be incorrect, that while the vast majority of club pitches are vested in the GAA and as such are overseen by trustees thus enabling them to draw down GAA grants, it is not a necessity when it come to participation in GAA games.

Don't mind that account, looks like it was created to try and stir up **** for Breaffy. They have a thread on the Mayo forum saying that Breaffy GAA are putting up phone masts on their property, awful shocking behaviour etc.

Load of BS

Might keep Mullin and ruane now so

seligehgit · 30-03-2020 9:19am

FYI

It's the finale of Special Forces Ultimate Hell Week.

Padraig O Hora has been in the top 2-3 from the get go.

Playing inter county football is a walk in the park compared with this challenge.:)

Hope he brings home the bacon!

A sorry to Conor but Kenneth has to make that team. Watching back old TG4 games reminded me just how good he was and the silliness of the 1997 final and the defensive rejig where he still wasn't out on Maurice Fitz. Kevin Cahill also hard done by but I guess Andy nudges him out.James Nallen the same. It is very tough isn't it!!!!!!!But Kenneth has to slot in for Harrison there . So another corner forward needed. Maybe kevin O neill? so then Brogan misses out.........someone else can find the missing forward my head hurts. Maybe John Casey actually

Green&Red · 30-03-2020 11:15am

We have a lot of class backs, less so in the forward line, thats why Conor makes it over Kenneth

It came down to Conor + Harrison V Kenneth + Freeman

While Chucky was a savage player, the Bomber was the greatest player ever to lace a boot, so he has to be there. His goal in the '92 county final from 40 yards and the point against Ballina in the '96 final alone get him on that team

BandMember · 30-03-2020 12:44pm

A lot of Conor v Kenneth debates, but for me the best Mortimer of all was Trevor.

Kenneth, best corner back in the country in '96 and '97. No question! We were gone early in '98, he was an average centre forward for us in '99 and it kinda just petered out after that....

Trevor was the ultimate team player, played in a variety of positions, always left everything he had on the field and sacrificed his own game for the good of the team - which is something that could never be said for the other lad!! Kinda felt he was shafted at times due to his versatility and never got a proper run in one position, although he suffered a lot from injuries too. Was brilliant at centre forward in '09 but his best years were probably '07 and '11 when he played at wing back. I'd have loved to see him get a proper run at 6 or 7 as I felt it was probably his best position. A huge loss who could have made a difference in 2012 and 2013 IMHO.

boosabum · 30-03-2020 12:50pm

Thought his best year was 2004 as a full forward.

Final hammering versus Kerry probably cost him an All-star that year

An interview with that truly wonderful ambassador of Mayo GAA Tom Parsons on OTB.

Padraig O Hora and the other lads excelled themselves.

Well done.

jammer84 · 30-03-2020 10:34pm

Fair play to them

This was an interview with Aidan O'Mahony, a great article about community policing, but the salient piece is

“I called to Mayo All-Ireland winning footballer Paddy Prendergast and his wife Irene on Tuesday. They are living in Tralee. Paddy was sitting inside the window reading the newspaper. David and I sat on the porch and chatted away to him. We had a great conversation, most of which centred on Mayo football of course. It was nice for half an hour not to be thinking about what the country is going through.

“I gave my number to Paddy and Irene, and said, whatever you need, ring me, and even if I’m off, I’ll contact the station and it’ll be done. He is in great health, a mighty man.

irishgeo · 10-04-2020 8:44pm

Just sunderland till I die on Netflix. Basically a documentary following the fans and staff around as they as the go through the highs and lows of the season.

The passion of the fans reminded me of the mayo fans.

Mayo would make a great team to follow but it wont happen for many reasons but it would be an interesting thought.

seligehgit · 11-04-2020 9:15am

Sorely missing the lack of football action.
