More all-stars missing for Mayo than Galway, Brisbane. I don't think you could predict better than 8 or 9 players for either county's A-team come the summer.

Fair play to Galway. Deserved winners going by the radio commentary. Sounded like a decent game despite the conditions. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7290 - 02/03/2019 20:59:32 2169499 Link 3 |
Good win Galway. Mayo will not be happy tonight, possibly opening the door for Dublin too. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8571 - 02/03/2019 20:59:32 2169500 Link 5 |
Great result for Galway tonight! Hopefully beat Roscommon next and then go to Omagh needing a win to possibly get to the League final! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2188 - 02/03/2019 21:03:11 2169503 Link 1 |

Well done Galway? I wonder is Aidan O'Shea playing the wrong sport? He looks every inch more a rugby union player to me and probably more to suited to that game. Kicked a lovely ball into touch in the first half but shame it's the wrong game. Kingdomson (Kerry) - Posts: 244 - 02/03/2019 21:08:39 2169507 Link 6 |
I'd say a Dublin-Kerry league final is odds-on now. Can't see Dublin losing any of their remaining games. They have us on head-to-head and scoring difference. Kerry would need to lose at least 2 for us to have a chance. A decent campaign though so far, given the numbers missing.

Mayo are an infuriating team to follow. Had galway on the rack and started taking pot shots. Ah_Here (Mayo) - Posts: 42 - 02/03/2019 21:29:22 2169517 Link 1 |
7 wins in a row for Galway now against their near and dearest neighbouts, who would have guessed that after the heavy defeats in 2013 and 2014 against Mayo? The stand out feature in each win is the scores Galway have conceded against Mayo 0-12,1-9,0-12,0-11,1-9,1-11,0-12 That's consistency at its finest!

That was enjoyable stuff, though going for a quarter of the game without scoring didn't do my ticker any good! festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 03/03/2019 00:07:05 2169578 Link 1 |
I am never one for getting too carried away with victory or defeat especially this time of year but (and it pains me to say this) we are in decline. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 03/03/2019 09:35:51 2169611 Link 5 |
The game was there for Mayo with 10 minutes left. Just a point down and playing with gale. Fair dues to Galway for wrestling back the initiative when they were being totally bossed at midfield and under siege for the previous 20 minutes. The goal in the first half proved the difference... a classic case of a team failing to track back thinking that numerical advantage would find enough players everywhere on the pitch and a fair number of Mayo players picking up no one. At least 4 Mayo players were caught up the pitch when Galway moved the ball. Was it 1-1 or 1-2 Galway scored when it was 15 v 13? The conversion rates of the forwards have also fallen off a cliff since the Tyrone game. Probably safe enough to avoid late relegation worries, but with a trip to Tralee to come and Mayo likely to get stuffed (maybe by 10+ points) it won't be as comfortable as it ought to have been. Not sure if any of this was in the plans (ie. down to training schedule), but it's pretty disappointing for supporters. Galway are bound to feel good about the result... took their scores with more ease in the first half than Mayo did in the second, so deserving winners.

Too much to do in the 2nd half and ran out of steam. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 03/03/2019 12:19:20 2169663 Link 0 |
What a childish petty comment. Grow up.

Glad to see both teams survive division 1 and this is great for Connacht. It was very comforting to score the goal with 13 men on the counter. Also, Flynn showed that defense works when he stopped the Boyle goal. The fringe Mayo players like Coen lacked composure on the night but they are coming. Mayo are gallant opponents and almost pulled off a great recovery, Galway will be under no illusions. Mayo will have a tough Connacht semi this year against the Rossies and if they get through it they will be tough. Otherwise, see ye in the glamorous FBD in Jan. and go easy on the pasta and meatballs in the Big Apple.
