Mayo were as I expected early in the league, poor enough but still good enough to beat an average team with dreadful tactics. Smith should be gone for a while, pathetic. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7896 - 26/01/2019 20:46:53 2159763 Link
Replying To WaitingInTheLongGrass: "Last time I checked 50 times 3 is 150. Guess maths is not your strong suit but can imagine why considering where ya hail from. Eir sport 2 will show all the glory soon" How did that wager work out for you? ;) Jokes aside, a terrible game played in atrocious conditions. Why on earth is the GAA scheduling NFL fixtures in January, given the long lay off between the end of the league and beginning of the championship for a lot of teams? Lots of work to be done by both sides ahead of round two. Indiscipline was notable on both sides, a few crazy cards for silly challenges.

Conditions aside.. putrid stuff.. Mayo no score from play for 39 mins!!! Serious issues in full back line still, Roscommon threw it away in first half. Belclare1 (Galway) - Posts: 1626 - 26/01/2019 20:52:49 2159767 Link

Covered myself by betting the mother, father, yearly allowance and life on under 30.5 points in the game. Castlebar turned into a pearse stadium style shiteshow in the end with the team having the wind in their favour in the second half doing enough to win. Nothing learned for both sides playing in that monstrousity WaitingInTheLongGrass (Roscommon) - Posts: 165 - 26/01/2019 21:08:17 2159775 Link
Win still a win in awful conditions. The big thing about tonight is the team Mayo had out. Not far off championship unless Horan is hiding something or on the other hand he has little fate in blooding guys. kiloughter (Galway) - Posts: 1946 - 26/01/2019 21:09:51 2159776 Link
Let's make it clear you can read absolutely nothing from that game tonight. The only important thing from our point of view is the 2 points. Worst conditions I ever experienced at a game..and I was in the Hyde in 2011 yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11231 - 26/01/2019 21:33:08 2159787 Link
Wasn't too bad considering the injuries and absentees that we had...Smyth was lucky but Mayo are plenty adept at the dark arts as well. moros (Roscommon) - Posts: 1080 - 26/01/2019 21:38:03 2159791 Link
How can anyone judge either team in them conditions, great battling going on disappointing from Smith to dive like that and he was the one to eye gouge , ref was brutal every tackle was a free for either team. Terrible game cause of conditions but I enjoyed it if that makes sense. Colm Boyle needs to cop on he's trying to ruin careers every time he tackles very dangerous again for him , how many times does he get a black or red card , feels like every game nowadays. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 26/01/2019 21:50:19 2159794 Link

Chill the beans everyone, nothing to analyse, can't play football in those conditions, the alleged gouging, well doesn't look good but still no way conclusive regarding intent, just not conclusive. sligo joe (Dublin) - Posts: 683 - 26/01/2019 23:05:09 2159809 Link
Replying To Belclare1: "Its clear they are two average teams.." Average teams in that weather I agree. Da rossies still beat yer boys last week. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11231 - 27/01/2019 00:02:49 2159815 Link
Replying To moros: "Wasn't too bad considering the injuries and absentees that we had...Smyth was lucky but Mayo are plenty adept at the dark arts as well." All the top teams are well versed in dark arts so let's call a spade a spade. Roscommon impressive with all those kissing and I was confident at half time as I felt ye needed to be 7/8 ahead. Watched the second half in da pub with a few rossies..good aul banter and sure isn't that what it's all about. Nobody will believe me but I hope all 3 Connacht teams stay up. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11231 - 27/01/2019 00:07:22 2159817 Link

I'd hate to play club football in Roscommon if that's just considered "dark arts". MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 420 - 27/01/2019 00:19:22 2159818 Link

Replying To Belclare1: "Its clear they are two average teams.." You are obsessed with Mayo. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7896 - 27/01/2019 05:05:11 2159831 Link
If I was to be critical of any team last night it would have to be Roscommon, playing a very defensive game in the first half with a gale blowing behind them. It's obvious Anthony Cunningham is trying to implement a more defensive approach to alleviate the hammering suffered in the super 8s. I couldn't understand why the commentary were criticising Mayo in the first half, with a wind like that you had to manage the game and limit the damage. Mayo achieved that and in the second half used the wind to there benefit chipping scores over from 50 metres. James Horan will get Mayo to the last 8. Mayo are notoriously slow starters during the league but usually come right for championship. The usual resentment by Dubs and fellow western gaels is very evident on here. shaggylegend (Monaghan) - Posts: 1928 - 27/01/2019 09:53:26 2159846 Link
