The Hurley stuff this weekend. Would think Kilkenny and Limerick to win well.

Outside of John O'Mahony and Eugene McGee who is the last outside Manager to win Sam in the last 40 years?

Sean Boylan  Meath. He a laytrum man.

God, it's a welcome change Mayo being out of the Championship and nobody bitching and blaming anyone.
Usually the following are to blame:

The Weather
The Curse
The referee
Horan
Some dirty player on the opposing team
Aidan O'Se
Financial doping
Home advantage
Injured players

............................. We've now realised that that boat has sailed and we are just not good enough anymore.

Sweet baby Jesus. Are you on the Gin?

How come rte didn't show numerous replays of the elbow  on mayo Diarmuid O'Connor by the kerry DOC. If Ulster player done that would of got the line. The smell of bullshilt of RTE pundits in particular Pat spillane, great calling outs teams/players when kerry are harmed yet when  they do it  about manning up and brushed under the carpet.

Has there been a venue decided for the final?

Dr Hyde Park?

Will Galway change keeper for next day? Is the lad that got injured in league final still not available?

Would the County board want McGuinness? Would he want the hassle? Can't see McStay after the 2015 debacle. Rochford would more than likely suffer with 'second coming syndrome'.

Whoever takes it on will be taking on a poisoned chalice, between having to be consistently being at the business end of the championship and winning Sam, and the replacements sadly aren't as good as what's gone before.

It still a relatively young mayo team. McLoughlin, Keegan and O'Shea only lads over 30?,Horan has done a good job replacing majority of 2011-17 team.  The current minor team has some good prospects and will have a fully fit Tommy Conroy and Ryan O'Donoghue next year.

Ridiculous Galway getting to final after losing 3 games.

Current odds on Horans replacement

Ray Dempsey 6/4
Mike Solan 9/4
Maurice Sheridan 4/1
Jim McGuinness 4/1
Sean Deane 10/1
Kevin McStay 10/1
Malachy O'Rourke 10/1
Stephen Rochford 12/1
Andy Moran 14/1
Ciaran McDonald  20/1
Kevin Johnson 20/1
Colm Boyle 20/1
Kevin O'Brien 25/1
John Maughan 33/1

Nothing much to get excited about on that list.

What about the O'Sheas or the O'Connor or have they resigned too?

Seriously I think Jim McGuinness will go for this role.

Do Mayo do outside managers ?

Mickey Moran for one

But they dont do them too often. I am not sure was Horan the great manager he is made out to be.

Brian McDonald
Jack O'Shea

Perfect game for Kerry going into next week. Would take Clifford off to rest for next week.

How is O'Shea playing? Will be destoyed

I thought Clifford would be rest for the semi final. Mayo players usually fill their togs at the sight of kerry jersey in Croke Park. Took a replay to beat a poor Kerry team in 2017.
