Its hard to see anything than other a low scoring game given Galway's tactics and that Mayo I expect will set up in a similar manner and then you've the added ingredient of a tighter pitch.

Galway have plenty of attacking options on the bench but I wouldn't have too much hope that Kevin Walsh will use them in the correct way, its his 4th year in charge and he's still far too slow to make changes and its a big concern.

Now we hear talk from the referees development chairman that the 3rd person into a melee will be given a red card, are they for f**king real!! Implementing something like this should be at the beginning of the league and not on the eve of the championship.

Mayo will have worked on denying Comer space hence why I don't see him spending too much time in the full forward line and hence why Armstrong is starting.
This is the usual bullshit that they come up with just immediately before the championship starts.
Why do they just magically invent something for referees to clamp down on days before c'ship kick off?
It's madness.

I would consider a melee to involve 3 or more people anyway.

melee or mêlée
[mey-ley, mey-ley, mel-ey]   
noun
1.a confused hand-to-hand fight or struggle among several people.

So if a melee is already taking place, does the ref send of the 3rd man running into the melee, leaving the first two to join the melee without sanction?? :o

was this not written into the rulebook about 5 years back and then blissfully ignore since except like the black card when the referee thinks of it again and makes a balls of it .
I could see galway playing the role of the 12 apostles on sunday .
they along with other team appear to believe mayo are soft and can be got at. but a game in the spotlight like this could be reffed like an u-12 game

"After some impressive showings during the League, O'Donoghue from the Belmullet club will make his championship debut on Sunday afternoon. The 2016 All-Ireland U21 winner is a no-nonsense defender, strong in the tackle, while equally adept at making imposing runs up the field.

He kicked vital points in the wins over Monaghan and Donegal and will be entrusted with keeping tabs at Galway's inside forward line in Castlebar."

Were there no decent forwards on that u21 team ?

Most of the best attackers in Mayo are defenders.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

They need a Bernie Flynn though. Or 3.

These are the six forward from that under 21 team.

Fergal Boland (Aghamore)
Conor Loftus (Crossmolina)
Diarmauid O'Connor (Ballintubber)

Liam Irwin (Breaffy)
Fionan Duffy (Crossmolina)
Michael Plunkett (Ballintubber)

Two are playing regularly for Mayo - Loftus and Diarmuid. Fergal Boland is in and out! Liam Irwin does not have the discipline for Senior Intercounty. Not much more you can get from an under 21 team - even a successful one!

2006 Mayo U21 team was a far stronger team with some outstanding players in Higgins,Boyle,Barrett etc but few forwards became established seniors out of that team either

We got an unusually high number of senior players from that u21 team in 06.

Higgins, Barrett, Boyle, S O'Shea, Cafferkey and Barry Moran are still on the senior panel. While Tom Cunniffe, Micky Conroy and Enda Varley also had decent football careers.
