Replying To TheFlaker: "Ah yeah the hype after winning the FBD is always massive. This thread is hilarious. One lad yapping with about Mayo and their starting team , another lad saying Mayo beating a second string Galway could have an impact on them because of the hype. Have a lie down lads. It's January." 4th in the betting for the All-Ireland after today's win moved ahead of Galway,Armagh. Might be only January but the hype already in place.

We were already 4th in the betting before this game... I am surprised by those odds . There is no hype from us we are rebuilding . The only hype that's coming is from outaiders. It's January man .

Oh from 5th to 4th. I must book the hotel now. The reason they are 4th is the last few years have shown multiple teams can make the last 4. There's not much between 4 or 5 teams on their day. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8712 - 11/01/2026 21:09:57 2650712 Link

Betting firms revising odds based on current results isn't hype. But hype probably won't be far away. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8417 - 11/01/2026 21:11:27 2650713 Link
Certainly hype about Mayo now, 4th in the betting is remarkable for a team who made their exit at the last 12 in 2024 and last 16 exit last summer. National media have brought into it also with lots of Mayo coverage and lots of Andy Moran interviews. Andy picked a team with many established players so no surprise they won comfortably against a makeshift Roscommon team. Will he go strong again in Tuam against a development Galway team and allow further hype be added to the team before the NFL starts Drax_the_destroyer (UK) - Posts: 658 - 11/01/2026 22:54:21 2650730 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Betting firms revising odds based on current results isn't hype. But hype probably won't be far away." Each to their own and teams are in different places with sigerson etc but I'd be disappointed as mayo fan to see Moran trotting out likes of AOS ROD in fbd games over giving likes of beirne Lydon starts Rossies went very strong for fbd last time it was played I think hammered a development squad from Galway in 23 or 24 I'd expect similar next week and I hope we give new players a go next week I'd hate to see likes of finnerty mchugh mcdaid etc to come in until league jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1870 - 12/01/2026 08:06:45 2650736 Link

Kerry will be lucky to keep the ball kicked out to us. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8712 - 12/01/2026 09:19:13 2650739 Link

Don't think so personally. National coverage of Mayo has reduced if anything. Mayo picked several new players yesterday alongside more established ones which is surely the best way to integrate them? The likes of rod and aos finished up with the club in September and Mayo were out since mid June so it's not like they're being flogged. Tommy Conroy didn't kick a ball for the county last year so needs game time MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 499 - 12/01/2026 09:23:52 2650742 Link

Would ye ever take yer rhubarb talk off to the Mayo thread. We have enough problems without having to read that stuff on our thread.... Seanfan (Roscommon) - Posts: 303 - 12/01/2026 10:14:22 2650754 Link

I agree Clare no real hype about anyone yet other then Kerry looking potentially dominant. A little hype around Tyrone with their u20s in recent years. A lot of question marks around Galway mayo Dublin all should see a bit of transition over next couple of years and Armagh with their departures unavailability this year too jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1870 - 12/01/2026 10:23:35 2650755 Link

Perhaps tell a couple of your lads to focus on Roscommon instead of obsessing over Mayo. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8712 - 12/01/2026 10:26:51 2650756 Link

Seeing how poor Glenullin were yesterday highlights the level Strokestown are at compared to clubs outside of Connacht. Marginally bet two mediocre teams in Leitrim and Mayo but lost out on a poor Glenullin side, you would think a Gofund me of 10k would win an all Ireland Loughallenbanks (Leitrim) - Posts: 19 - 12/01/2026 11:11:35 2650761 Link

Glenullin was far from a poor side any team that win Derry and Ulster aren't and were scoring for fun coming into the final. Their high scoring was stopped with a boring retain possession tactics/game a way of playing that we were told was over with the new rules. Kerry clubs record in the Junior club championship speaks for itself over the last number years, of course having only 8 clubs in their senior championship greatly helps them to be so successful in Junior and intermediate and when it comes to Gofund all three clubs made serious money. Still surprised a Kerry team played that way which was a big focus on stopping Glenullin scoring than playing the Kerry way of attacking football and lots of kick passing Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3813 - 12/01/2026 13:06:46 2650792 Link

A top junior side in Kerry is 17th which is what the top intermediate side is in most counties jm25 (Galway) - Posts: 1870 - 12/01/2026 13:46:43 2650802 Link
Back to Roscommon and I was very disappointed in our forward play on Sunday. It had no structure and just a complete mess. Lads once again afraid to take a shot on with a big wind behind them . I understand we had a lot of new faces but these are the games where you try impress and nail down a spot for the Kerry game. We will be without probably 10 players for the Kerry game so there is an opportunity for some of these lads to try get a starting spot. Big improvement needed. Is Brian stack taking full year off or just a couple of months? He will be a massive loss but you have respect his decision. Hopefully not to many of the Brigid's lads decide to do the same dave1988 (Roscommon) - Posts: 1324 - 12/01/2026 17:32:01 2650837 Link
