well i am exiled for 6 weeks more. watched the match in a pub with bob dylan doin the commentary tho i think marty morrisy and mc stay were there!

couldne keep track of positional swithces but it seemed to me as if mayo were at sea most of the time. they didnt seem to know where they were playing.

a bit sickened to be honest. thought theyd put up a better show then that.

seemed to me as if we were eaten alive at midfield. finally proof that gardiner cant defend. but i was disapponted by devenny. and as for billie joe.... i simply dont know.

up front. the wind seemed to frighten us maybe it was strong but galway had no problem kickin into it, and then when playing with it we didnt shoot at all!

mort was unluck with the shot that hit the post. it might have changed things.

harte had to go. a dirty dig.

cant comment on the off the ball stuff but galway seemed to have more bite in the tackle. they accumulated more yellows but i suppose that wont matter to them!

anyway. it will be a long 6/7 weeks for johno. he has lots to do.

looks like he wont be elected now, so plenty time to focus on mayo!

mayo4sam

you got the words of 'hay-wrap'??

dont know them all but these r the most relevant!

"will galway bate mayo?,
do you think will galway bate mayo,
not if they have willie-joe,
we havent a hope of batin mayo"

for what its worth - i call it mayo by 2

so the time for opinions on tactics, team formations and whos gonna play where is gone.

its time to call it!

galway or mayo - you decide

ya its a nightmare alright. best thing to do is abandon the car in the housing estate til 9o'clock or so that night and if the weather is anyways good go for a stroll along the prom. the eye-candy along there when the sun shines is savage! admitadly the GAA jerseys dont do anyone any favours! when the sun sets head into quay street.

sorry il start at corner forward - Anthony 'Larry' Finnerty at his prime in 89. oho what a perm he had.

now lads of the tribe and the plain of yews.

its almost upon us.

enuf with the saw docs lyrics for the next few days. although my favourite memory in galway was 99. lashing rain. walking back through tuam when lo and behold in the middle of the town an artic truck was set up to blare out the fields of ahenry. but aha no point. pat fallen + co saw to that. instead twas the green + red of mayo being roared by thousands.

ah the memories.........

roll on salthill and hopefully not the sunburn like before!

cavan vs down today

"the ball goes away down to the far corner, the people in front of us are inclined to stand up, if they'd only sit down we might see whats happening"

overheard at a club game in mayo.

a sub was being intriduced mid way through the 2nd half to try and swing the midfield battle

manager to substitute: 'right maurice, all we want you to do is go in their and do a bit of sledging'

at the mayo vs roscommon connaught final in hyde park in the late 90s cant remember what year.

roscommon get their first score. place goes mad.

mayo fan: 'christ will ye put away them flags, the dust is killing me'

Can I go up on top?

of the trailer?!!! 

club all the way. (even in mayo!)

that took all of 3 minutes! haha!

so will galway bate mayo?

tough one to call. it depends on mayos injuries and their temprement on the day more then anything else. memories of the last time in salthill getting sunburnt and beaten. a bad day! red face for a week at work in the city. embarressment or sunburn? you decide!

tis time for revenge me thinks. but i think it could be a draw with mayo to win the replay in castlebar.
