"I can't remember the last time Sean had anything good to say about Mayo"

Ex-Mayo manager James Horan feels it's rare that former Tyrone star Sean Cavanagh has anything good to say about his native county.
Horan was referring recent comments from Cavanagh on The Sunday Game preview show where the three-time All-Ireland winner said he was "starting to see the end of the road of this great Mayo side".
Writing in his column for the Irish Daily Star today, Horan took notice of the comments from the Moy man when previewing this Sunday's crunch Connacht SFC quarter-final between Mayo and Galway in Castlebar.
"This is as big a game as between Mayo and Galway as there's been in a long, long time," Horan wrote.
"For the loser, it's a tough battle to get to the All-Ireland quarter-final stage. Remember, this year, it's an open draw in the qualifiers, there's no divide into A and B. So Sunday's loser could be faced with a trip to Omagh or Clones.
"Whoever wins on Sunday, though, will be very, very confident of being part of the Super 8s. It's also the case that the Connacht championship really matters to everyone.
"Sean Cavanagh had his say in an RTE studio on Sunday, declaring that Mayo are no longer contenders. I can't remember the last time Sean had anything good to say about Mayo, so it was no surprise. But that bunch of Mayo players still have plenty left in the tank."
