Replying To Gleebo: "Much like Galway have been missing from September ever since, I suppose! And let me remind you that Mayo have won their last adult football All-Ireland more recently than Galway. But that doesn't suit your narrative, so you'll probably run it down. Maybe Galway's fairweather support will even deign to travel the hour or so up to Castlebar, you never know." What Adult football All Ireland was that? Just curious. Barnowl94 (Galway) - Posts: 3150 - 01/03/2019 17:46:38 2169222 Link
Looks like JH and the coaches have decided to leave it as late as possible to announce a team. I know there were a couple of injuries from last week, but they're probably aware supporters and media will potentially be reading the selection for some hints at the future direction the team will be taking: either a rebuild, or an effort to sweat the assets in the hope that there's genuinely one more quality campaign to be mined out that great group of warriors. Before last week I'd have taken it for granted that the spirit would always be willing, whatever the state of the flesh, but now I'm not so sure. If a rebuild is started this year, then it's going to be 4 or 5 places which will need to be transitioned for the summer... left another year and it could be 7 or 8, and that would be too many in one go to keep performances up to a reasonable standard. I fancy us to beat Galway tomorrow. The team (whoever's in it) is bound to want it a lot more than the neighbours this time around. If a rebuild is the path chosen, then driving on to try to get to the league final would be worthwhile. We'll know soon enough. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 01/03/2019 18:35:17 2169230 Link
Replying To Llaw_Gyffes: "Wet and windy night promised for Castlebar. Galway don't seem to want to score and Mayo don't seem able to score, so a six points apiece draw. Hopefully the ladies match might be exciting!" what a weird observation. Mayo were shooting the lights out before playing the All ireland champions so now they cant kick snow off a rope. If they beat galway on saturday let me guess youll be pipein them up again. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 01/03/2019 19:28:19 2169244 Link

Seeing as you're into guessing I'd say your guess is as good as mine. Llaw_Gyffes (Mayo) - Posts: 1113 - 01/03/2019 19:45:58 2169250 Link
Replying To Barnowl94: "What Adult football All Ireland was that? Just curious." I was initially thinking club football but sure Corofin have one that last year, then I thought womens but Galway won in 2004, Mayo last in 2003. But then it came to me they won the GAA masters in 2016 and 2017. I think they might have got the 50/51 team up and running again to beat a star studded Sligo team driven by Eamon O'Hara and Paul Taylor. GDL (Galway) - Posts: 721 - 01/03/2019 20:09:38 2169254 Link

Replying To GreenandRed: "Our Under 21s were adults in 2016." And all the thinking that Galway lad did and still that didn't occur to him. Tut tut. Llaw_Gyffes (Mayo) - Posts: 1113 - 01/03/2019 20:57:40 2169262 Link

Replying To festinog: "Iffy? Beaten by Dublin and only beaten by Kerry by a point does not iffy make. I don't think we're world beaters by any stretch, but calling us iffy, when for the last two years we've been fairly consistent in the league is off the mark. As to who will win? A lot depends on which Mayo shows up. If they play like they did against Dublin, there'll be no contest. If they play like they did against Tyrone, it should be a much tighter affair. Still think we'll shade it though, but I really expect it not to be a spectacle for the neutral; it has been a while since a Galway vs Mayo game produced a show case." Yes, iffy, uncertain if you will. Ye have looked better on paper than on the pitch. Which means, ye have some fine footballers who are capable of more I believe. I suppose I just expect them to be better, I'd take it as a compliment. I don't think any of that is way off the mark, but it's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Possibly a different manager could get more out of them, who that is? I've no idea. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8591 - 01/03/2019 21:45:59 2169274 Link
Replying To GDL: "Adult is Senior Football." Gleebo said adult football, not senior football. An adult is 18 or upwards. Masters and Junior football are adult football but not senior. To be honest I haven't a clue what team he's talking about but U21s are adults and that's my guess. Could be Westport winning Intermediate All Ireland. Gleebo?

Ah now, but when Joyce, Fallon, Murphy, The Gooch, O Neill, Canty, Connolly and Aidan O'Shea sit down some night to talk over a few pints about winning the All Ireland.......ah wait!!!!

Two strong championship like defences picked by Horan and Walsh. Forwards line if they start as selected are missing plenty of experience and firepower with no C O'Connor,K McLoughlin,A Moran for Mayo and S Walsh,D Comer,I Burke so all logic points to a low scoring contest and 15/2 for a draw looks like tempting odds to me. Out of interest why is the throw 7:15 instead of 7pm? The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3755 - 01/03/2019 22:34:55 2169294 Link

Well spotted. I hadn't noticed Mayo players had no senior intercounty All Ireland's. I'm devastated now, truly...... GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7344 - 01/03/2019 22:43:44 2169300 Link

Keegan and Boyle arent fit, seem to be using games to get fit. Aidan O Shea needs to effect games more, Joe Brolly is right in his criticism of him. We could do with getting Keith Higgins more involved up the field, breaking through with the ball. Not a good midfield, Galway can go long with more kickouts against our midfield, Tom Flynn is going well and well able to win marks, Duggan played well against Mayo last year but i think hes overrated, but Vaughan isnt up too much playing midfield. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 601 - 01/03/2019 22:48:35 2169301 Link

With at least 7 definite starters missing for Galway; Mayo for the first time in 6 attempts against Kevin will win this won by 4.. At least they should....

Id say its to do with eir sport, they have the munster game live beforehand starting at 5, so prob giving themselves extra 15mins..but thats just my guess tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 601 - 02/03/2019 08:36:44 2169333 Link
