We didn't even have a manager until October! Tyrone did win the McKenna cup a few weeks ago so they've obviously done a bit of work too.

G2H may be a bit uninformed about Mayo's preps but he's entitled to his opinion. This is just early February and good sides don't become bad overnight. The object for both sides is to knock the Dubs off their summer perch. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 03/02/2019 22:44:30 2162319 Link 0 |

Not sure where the suggestion that Mayo are peaking for the League is coming from. They started back training the last week in November, which I would wager is not much sooner than most of the top teams, bar probably the All Ireland finalists. Horan has always taken the League fairly seriously, probably because, as Dublin have proved, you can do well in the League and still be there at the business end of the Championship. In the last couple of years we have started badly in the League and ended up bringing back lads, who could have done with the rest, to help us stay up. Last year when we were sh*** in the League we thought we were peaking for the Championship and we saw how that turned out. We are now in the happier position of having tried a lot of new faces and still winning our opening two games. We are not getting carried away with one good display and I have no idea how the new lads will perform come Championship, but coming away from Omagh with a win will do them no harm at all. I remember a fit and energetic Tyrone coming to Castlebar last Spring and giving a lethargic Mayo a good hiding. Didn't do Tyrone any harm last Summer.

Tyrone look out of touch and conviction is totally gone. It's early in the season but this is the worst performance for years. I wouldn't be surprised to hear that there's unease in the camp as most of the players had no pride in the Jersey today border Gael (Monaghan) - Posts: 894 - 03/02/2019 23:18:55 2162333 Link 0 |

I don't understand where Tyrone posters are coming from that they are not ready for the league when we all know their set up has targeted it for the past 15 years. Your correct in saying Mayo want to do well in the league but I'd agree it's unfair to say they are trying to peak for it. Imo it's more Tyrone posters trying to hide from some of the problems we have witnessed over the past two weeks from then where it's clear they seriously lack quality.

In the lead up to the game there were a few Tyrone supporters who were pretty confident that they now have a better panel of players than Mayo. How that can be judged before a ball is kicked is hard to fathom. Even y/day's result doesn't prove anything in that regard one way or the other... it's too early and only two league points were at stake. But if you make silly statements before a game and things don't go the way you expect you risk egg on your face. Same can be said about the Irish performance on Saturday... a lot of silly talk in advance has people overreacting afterwards.

We have seen average teams getting to All Ireland finals previously through draws opening up or building some momentum. Down (2010), Mayo (2004) to name a few. I think Tyrone got carried away with getting to the final, and forget Mayo are the only team in the last 4 years to realistically come close to beating Dublin in the Championship. Mayo have had a year off and are still a seriously strong outfit who I expect to be the only team that can stop Dublin this year. The early start to the league shows a freshness about Mayo, as we seen yesterday Tyrone are nowhere near their quality and the gap will only widen as the year progresses. I think Dublin, Monaghan and Galway will beat them in the league which makes it hard for them to stay up. Mayo on the other hand are nowhere near full peak imo, it's about the summer for them.

Very impressive performance from Mayo, they look like they mean business this year. Tyrone were under par, not like them at all. They had a few bad wides and a few dropped into the keepers hands, kills the confidence of a team when that happens. Far too early in the year to be making predictions but I'b be shocked if either of these sides are not in the shake up come the business end of the season. Tyrone will improve, I have no doubt about that. Green_Gold (Donegal) - Posts: 1876 - 04/02/2019 15:55:43 2162545 Link 2 |

Where's the evidence that Tyrone "targeted the league for 15 years"? Absolutely ridiculous comment. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 04/02/2019 20:57:19 2162625 Link 1 |

You really do have a weird obsession with Mayo.

I know we are... wont argue.. and what's worse is its 2015 since ye bet us.. God help you when Kevin steps down next year and we start playing ball. Best of luck in the league, that was some win over Tyrone, I'd say you will win the league and Connacht and Sam as well. Unbelievable display away to the mighty Tyrone

Well said! I always love to see Mayo/Roscommon do well when they are playing teams from other provinces. Don't relate to this toxic border rivalry at all....probably because I'm far enough away from it!
