Replying To Joeynyc: "Damage??
He was poor apart from frees he scored." There's no possible way you could make that comment if you were in attendance last night. Kicking two point frees is not taken for granted but he also was our only player catching kickouts, he was our main attacking threat despite being targeted by Kildare defence. He made the crucial goal chance before half time, without him we were looking at a 15 point defeat. To describe him as poor last night is a total lack of understanding of the game.

For the record I said on the Mayo thread recently that R Hennelly,J Coyne R Brickenden ,P Durcan
B Tuohy D McBrien,J Carney R O'Donoghue J Flynn
C McHale A O'Shea would start leaving four spots open. Yet you got all upright over that post aswell" Your comment on the Mayo thread after the London game..
No more than 2 or 3 changes I would expect the next day.

You also said nobody would start that didn't feature vs London and again repeated your line that Mayo wouldn't be relying on U20s..

Replying To ohwow: "It's probably just roadworks in fairness" Regarding roadworks its just Stephen Poachers way of parking the Bus,,,, Weekend predictions all fun aside ,if Galway do manage to overcome Leitrim in Carrick Its safe to say the margin could be a lot smaller than Roscommons impending defeat to Mayo....

Replying To Gaa_lover: "A fit Tommy Conroy starts for Mayo and the league was used to get him up to speed. You have Towey,Boland plus a few other more established players that could be named to start this Sunday.
One of those teenagers started once in the league for Mayo which was in the heavy loss to Kerry and you have yourself convinced that he should start this Sunday over more seasoned campaigners?" Are you suggesting it was Kobe McDonald's fault Mayo conceded 2-29 vs Kerry? Think it was more of a collective issue myself..
Anyway Kobe has been named to start so Andy has clearly forgiven him for costing us that game!

Is it me or have the county board no interest in u20s, still on website to be played in kinnegad, a late post just an hour ago to announce change of venue, no time announced for game, no info that its free in, I wonder how many primary and secondary kids were invited and asked to bring colour to support the team, a massive opportunity missed AGAIN. What is going on

Great to see Roscommon getting in the excuses early for when they inevitably calve on Sunday please and thanks. Oh we have injuries and suspensions please. Every county has that thank you but you don't hear the big two at that nonsense excuse making. Thanks so much.

Replying To bláthach: "If we get by Galway (unlikely I know) who or who would we put on Kobe McDonald in the Connacht final please so millions? Thanks for considering this tactical conundrum." No need Blathers to be bothered about Kobe. It will be the second level competition aka the Tailteann Cup for ye boys after Saturday. I expect a full on Leitrim assault first half though, a kinda blitzkrieg so to say. Mc Nulty in the engine room. A real life panzer who can punch holes in the Galway defense. All said Galway by at least seven.
A speedy Roscommon with an unfortunate injury list meaning the Mayo lads are hot favourites. Mayo by four I'd say. Just unfortunately Creggs appeal isn't going to be overturned. A gigantic loss. Still three Connacht teams in the All Ireland series proper so that's good for the province. Nice colour around Hillstreet and the Ros side of Carrick this morning. Primrose and Blue are lovely colors. Love to all.

Replying To LimerickandProud: "How are we feeling about matches this weekend?
Kilkenny and Wexford - I think this game will be tight, Wexford are well capable of going to Nowlan Park and winning, but I am expecting something of a back lash from Kilkenny after everyone downing on them last week. I think they might sneak it but not by much.
Dublin and Kildare - Similar to Kilkenny, Dublin need a response and I think they will deliver at home
Galway and Offaly - Galway at home will have too much class for Offaly (who have some super young fellas coming through but look like they are a year too early physically)
Cork and Limerick - Cork looked ordinary enough in the first half against Tipperary but obviously targeted the second half and really upped the intensity and took over. I don't think they went up the gears in the League Final against Limerick and were shadow boxing a bit. The pace they possess in the front six with Walsh and Buckley now thrown into the mix is frightening and I think they will target Diarmaid Byrnes in particular with these runs (which they didn't do in the League Final). Limerick are entering the fray with what looks like a full deck to pick from. Will they be able to get up to the pace of the game straight away? I think this could easily go either way so my money is on a draw.
Waterford and Tipperary - Waterford to me looked like team who got their S&C all wrong. They are physically big men but not as mobile as Cork, Clare or Tipperary. They might get away with this down in the tight confines of Walsh Park but I think Tipperary will target goals and do just about enough to get a result here." KK V Wexford: I have absolutely no idea how this will go, so I'll play it safe and call a draw. Wexford always seem to raise their game for the stripey men, and this really is a golden opportunity for them. Can they take it?
Dublin to get back on the saddle and beat Kildare.
Galway will have way too much for Offaly
Expect huge improvement from Tipp and Waterford at home are dangerous, however, very reliant on Bennett for scores. Tipp to edge it.
Gillane out for Limerick is huge, although Casey is a fantastic replacement, he does not pose the same goal threat. SOB to step up??? This Limerick team have only won once in PUC, so this, coupled with Gillane's absence means it's Cork for me.

Replying To gaelsboy: "Very optimistic then again I reckoned Sligo would beat us easily so to hell with it, why shouldn't we try go out and win it, the pressure is on them not us.
A wet day would actually suit us better, the dry day and fast ball will test our fitness levels a bit too much and Galway will likely have a bit too much for us.
The Sligo gave us much to be proud of but until we get up to division 3 and stay there, we won't go toe to toe with division 1 or 2 teams for long. A decent performance could give us some belief in a proper run in the TC." Flynns on main street. Great pints

25% of prisoners in Ireland are not from Ireland? Dear me, I used to dream of moving back to Ireland one day, but it's now just another globalist industrial estate that exits to squeeze the life out of the people trying to live a life in peace.

Thought Thompson wasn't due to be back in the country until just before the Connacht Final anyways?
As for Comer everyone heard the rumours he was gone for the year and was repeated by various people in the media too.
So Tierney has a muscle injury, never seen a team have so many muscle injuries.
Great to see Daly & O'Laoi back too, we all know Daly's qualities and the new rules will suit him. As for O'Laoi he had a couple of outstanding games in the league before his injury.
Would have liked to have seen Mulryan on the bench but suppose he's played a fair bit of football in recent weeks.
