Rob Murphy for MWR has to be the worst commentator in Ireland.
Couldn't disagree more. Find him very good to be honest. Knows the game and his commentary has a good flow to it. All in all though a good result up there. Well worth the journey even though I didn't make it in confidence.
The goals did come at great times and almost out of nothing. But Mayo were under pressure when Derry pegged it back to three points but we showed good composure and kicked the next three points to close out the game.
Dillon made a huge difference. He was immense. Every time he got the ball he was a step ahead of everyone else. Great to have him back. Varley was sharp too and Mortimer will do well to overtake him. Andy mixed the good with the bad, so did Trevor Mort. Seamie O'Shea was very solid. We were poor at midfield. Conroy didn't get into it and Parsons was very frustrating.
Trevor Howley was very good at centre-half back and while I'm not his biggest fan, Liam O'Malley put in a great performance. Keith Higgins was, yet again, in a different class with some of his cover play. Unfortunately Ger Cafferkey continues to struggle and was far too easily pushed off it by Eoghan Bradley.
Kevin McLoughlin and Aidan O'Shea were the two Under 21s who played. O'Shea mixed the good with the bad. Did well for his goal and point and created a huge nuisance value but his handling was off. McLoughlin wasn't too involved but I feel for the two of them, playing four big games in 10 days. Not easy and probably not fair either.
Curious to see what some of the Derry lads think - very poor crowd by the way - but if I was a Derry buck I'd be pulling my hair out with some of their play.
Good two points for Mayo. A good reaction to the Dublin game but we'll know more after the twin trips south.
firstly, congrats to mayo, fully derserved winners
the crowd wouldnt be my worry, more our team in general. No Strength in depth, exposed full back line, in-fighting as ever...................we'll be lucky to trouble Amagh
