Any truth in the rumours about the additions to the Galway panel?

The Gaelic Grounds in Limerick will host the qualifier clash of Mayo and Galway in Round 4 of the All-Ireland qualifiers.

The first meeting of the Connacht rivals in a qualifier will take place in Limerick on Saturday evening at 7pm, with the CCCC stating a Connacht venue was "not feasible" and there was no agreement between the counties to toss for home advantage. Galway GAA officials contacted Mayo this morning however Mayo GAA declined the offer to do the toss.

Smart move by Mayo
 
We typically don't play well in Castlebar (2nd smallest pitch in the country) and Limerick is easier to get to than Salthill

Seamus McHugh has been drafted in as cover in the FB line with Brian Talty and Billy Joyce also in the squad to bolster our midfield options!

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be paying too much attention to these rumours and hopefully there are no weddings this coming weekend! 😜

Bullshit no doubt

From a Mayo point of view im not too upset about the game being in Limerick.Much handier than the hyde or salthill. With regards to a team a lot will depend on the injuries to Keegan and O Shea.From what ive heard Keegans year is over but O Shea will be fine for saturday.I wasnt overly excited about Horan getting the job again and nothing ive seen the last few months has changed my view.He is a poor manager but the injuries have given him a get out of jail free card for this year.Our fb line will again be hung out to dry and expecting Horan to play a sweeper or a covering player is foolish....he wont change now even though with the personnel available it looks like our best way forward.Anyway heres how id like to see us line out assuming Keegan is out.

O Donoghue         S.Coen     Harrison
Higgins            Boyle         Durcan
                     Vaughan  O Shea
Mc Donagh    Cillian     Mc Loughlin
Carr           Doherty     D.Coen

Yea it is. Why is Dr. Hyde Park unavailable?

It "wasn't considered" by the fixture makers.
No doubt a certain member of the CCCC said it wasn't big enough ::)
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

It's not unavailable. For heath and safety reasons deemed unsuitable, which is complete horse shit. Limerick businesses getting Connacht money, disgusting stuff.

Hope Galway win by the way, not agreeing to a toss for venue showed a lack of balls and class.

Probably. But it's a disgrace a game between two Connacht sides is played in a different province.
