I asked earlier have Mayo ever lost a qualifier in MacHale Park? I was greeted with silence so I presume the answer was never.

I think this will likely be the end of the road for Armagh, hard enough to beat one Division 1 team away from home never mind two and Mayo are better than Monaghan.   If Murnin,Grimley and James Morgan are out Armagh's chances of causing an upset will be much slimmer.

Reckon it will be 1am Sunday morning at the earliest before we make it back home from Castlebar ... just hope the result is in our favour to make the journey seem shorter!

This game is a toss up, possibly Armagh favorites.

An aging Mayo team with a lot of injuries and a slowing back line V a young Armagh team with three excellent forwards.

I will be quite happy to be wrong.

mayo 4/11
Armagh 11/4
Draw 15/2

Those odds are daft, and are based on league stature as opposed to current form.

We haven't played many qualifiers at McHale Park. The first qualifier game I remember going to at McHale park was Cavan in 2007 which we won although all I remember from that game was Pierce Hanley playing in that game. After that I think we have beaten Fermanagh and Kildare in McHale park in 2016 so my guess would be we have played three and won three qualifiers in McHale park since the back door came in. I am probably forgetting a game or two somewhere!!

People in the 26....miles is the old colonial measure...

Funny that, because any time I ask for directions in the south, the answer is always in miles.

Beat Derry recently also so a good record v Ulster teams at home.

Didn't Mayo play Roscommon in a qualifier in the very early days of them in Castlebar?

Good shout, how could I forget that game. There was a great atmosphere in the stand that evening and I thought we were gone till Loftus buried that goal, then we conceded again, nearly lost and won it out in extra time!! I think Clarkie saved a penalty in that game!!

The earliest qualifier game I remember going to was a loss to Westmeath in 2001 which was in the Hyde. I was living in the States for 2002 so I wasn't at any games that year and the only one that was on TV was the quarter final loss to Cork in Croker.

Reckon it will be 1am Sunday morning at the earliest before we make it back home from Castlebar ... just hope the result is in our favour to make the journey seem shorter!

This game is a toss up, possibly Armagh favorites.

An aging Mayo team with a lot of injuries and a slowing back line V a young Armagh team with three excellent forwards.

I will be quite happy to be wrong.

mayo 4/11

Draw 15/2

Those odds are daft, and are based on league stature as opposed to current form.

Current form for both teams would be one loss and one defeat in the last two games

Would ye quit the owl mind games already. Mayo are clear favourites playing at home against an Armagh side who have been blowing hot and cold for a few years and look to be missing 3 massive players through injury. Plus two of our main players are barely out of their teens, great lads but they've never faced men like O'Shea and Keegan before.

By the time who have opened your mouth to ask directions, the canny southerner has already figured out you're from the 6 counties, haven't planned your journey, can't use google maps and most probably thinks a klick is the sound a timer makes.

Yes. Won that one.
