Connacht SFC 2020

[Mayo Border]

Div 1 verses Div 2

[Rudi]

Well done Mayo, huge energy levels. Very flat from us.

[sid waddell]

Mayo have a tradition of flirting with NFL relegation and then late in the league putting in a couple of pure beat 'em up performances

They did it to Roscommon at the Hyde one Easter Sunday, 2016

Crushed them

This is straight from that page

They are on their bully pulpit again today

The persistent fouling by Mayo has gone largely unpunished. Referees will need to cop on to how they foul to kill momentum and started handing out cards accordingly.

FT Roscommon 0-13 Mayo 1-16. Mayo into their first Connacht final in 5 years and on the evidence of today they will be hard beaten in that final.

Roscommon never got going looked extremely flat,  the covid issue perhaps played a part in their flat performance.

[Armagh18]

Mayo very impressive today. Durcan is a class act. Keegan seemed to make a lot of interceptions as well. 7 and 11 for Mayo were very good too.

Dessie called it strategic fouling 🙄🙄

Every mark, free that Roscommon won a mayo player slowed it down.
Mayo the better team all round, Roscommon looked rudderless

Durcan and James McCarthy two best wing backs in the country at the moment.

Compton got free against him when took from wrong position but Mayo lad had stepped in front of him.

Mayo far and away the in form team, Rossies looked bad because Mayo made them look bad.
Galway will need to pull a big performance out of somewhere but going in without any matches is a killer really.

[GaillimhIarthair]

Mayo were well up for it early on and put the game away from Ros a long way from the finish and really coasted through the second half.  Surprised at Ros, they were just so slow and ponderous and really didn't lay a glove on Mayo.  That's 2 reasonable championship games under the belt now for Mayo and will deservedly start as warm favs for the Conn final.  Thankfully Galways many COVID related issues appear to have cleared up from the latter stages of the league but we will need to see a major improvement in performance and form of a few key players to trouble Mayo.

Galway having same issues as Roscommon with goalkeeper and midfield. Galway will struggle with the Mayo press on restarts.

Roscommon was bad and it had little to do with how Mayo made them look poor. Throughout the game allowed Mayo too much time and room on the ball, defensively far to loose allowing Mayo in for easy scores, The Diarmuid O'Connor goal highlighted that.  You won't win many championship matches playing like that especially against a top 6 side like Mayo.

If Galway defend well the final it might be a closer game but does PJ focus any effort on his defence?
