Would of won that game regardless? Even with Connolly it felt like we stoled that game , we were very lucky to come out with a one point lead in the end , that game could of easily gone the other way and we'd have no complaints on the day. It came down to inches in the end with two free kicks they miss we didn't. Still think John Smalls second yellow was harsh I've never seen anyone get sent off for a mis hit shoulder when a player is running full speed at you and Colm Boyle at that. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 06/05/2018 19:47:57 2096941 Link 0 |

I know when your team is involved in a game it's hard to keep perspective, but as a neutral looking on it never felt like Dublin weren't in control, you just knew Dublin had better players to come of the bench.

Maybe , but genuinely being at that game I never thought that. Maybe cause you were cheering for Mayo it felt that way.

Sean Cavanagh doesn't reckon Mayo will make the super 8 , I love Sean but Mayo will be in the super 8's not a chance they won't be. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 06/05/2018 22:18:49 2096966 Link 0 |

I won't lie I was shouting for mayo , me and about 3 million others :-) But if mayo were playing Kerry you'd be shouting for mayo and that's understandable, You could really see that mayo were tired in that last 10 mins where ye were looking like ye were getting stronger and Connolly was excellent but I think ye'd still have managed even if he wasn't there.

A lot will depend on next weeks game against Galway, if mayo win that then they'll definitely make the super 8 whereas if they have to go the long route again they could possibly meet a Donegal Tyrone or Monaghan in the qualifiers. It would be tough.

I suppose if they lose that opener to Galway and meet a tricky team in the qualifiers they could be in trouble, especially with the injuries they have. They are slow to start usually so I can see where he might be coming from but it would be a surprise if they didn't make it at the same time. They will be well aware of their predicament though, and will probably beat Galway in Castlebar.

Its a good sign for Mayo as most of his predictions are a bit off the wall- good footballer but poor at analysing like of lot of other ex footballers.

That wasn't a dig I would be supporting Mayo aswell if it was against anyone else. Will agree to disagree on this one about Dublin winning regardless.

But he's saying Mayo are starting to slip a little , where is the evidence of this? Their league form? Their always brutal in the league plus half their team was out injured or playing hurling, Mayo bet Kerry last year and were a whisker away from beating Dublin and their oldest player won poty, so can someone point out how they've gone back so far in 6 months ? clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 07/05/2018 09:00:06 2097004 Link 1 |

How do you know he won't be back? Any manager in his right mind would want him involved.

I wouldn't say they've gone back necessarily, but the past two seasons they have started poorly and have had to go through the qualifiers where they really rode their luck at times. If they do that again they may get caught out. As above, would you back them on a trip to Tyrone or Monaghan with Keegan and a few others injured / half fit? I think they will raise it enough to beat Galway myself. If they get everyone back for the Super 8's they are still very much a contender without a doubt.

It has nothing to do with Jim. His issue is a personal issue. If he comes back this year it will be because he feels ready to. Because of the nature of the issue the chap is keeping a low profile. I might add that his teammates both club & county have been very supportive.

It has been the same the last 2 years,have a poor league because they couldn't care less about it (and still stay up) and media say they're finished! They havn't got a clue!

If they do lose next Sunday Cavanagh is right -- there is no way they will make the Super 8's. The backdoor games will come thick and fast and with an ageing team they will get caught out. But they know how important next Sunday is for them and with their experience and home advantage probably will have enough to get past Galway.

I agree with you Gerry, I think mayo will come out all guns blazing next weekend and beat Galway, Galway going through the back door won't be a bad thing for them as they have a young team and it could prepare them well for the super 8s.

Not a bother clon, we'll never know for sure and it's only all speculation at the end of the day.

In you're opinion do you think will see him back this summer for Dublin ?

Not sure. It's a fluid situation. It completely depends on him. The door is most definitely open and Jim is in contact with him weekly. But there's zero pressure on him. He had a very tough year last year personally & maybe it's just too soon. I'm leaning towards a no.

Anthony Maher was in a semilar situation last year jackeen when he had a lot of fluid buildup after he had a hip operation. It can be a slow progression.
