No Comer, no Walsh, Maher off at h/t. Still able to bring players like Cooke on. I wouldn't be ruling them out that's for sure.

They just beat d1 finalists away from home without a couple of key players.

I'm not sure what entitles a favourite.

Galway are in the mix , but like Mayo , when it comes down to  it , they too will likely find a way to lose

Once again nothing between Galway and Mayo in a Connacht final the expected fine margin contest. Could say for a 2nd year in a row that Mayo Left that Connacht title behind them but 27 minutes without a score first half will be looked back with much anger I can imagine. Need to move on now and Cavan coming to MacHale Park next makes for a good opportunity to lift the gloom from that defeat.

Galway wanted that more. Mayo had a great opportunity to win after reeling in fairly quickly Galway's 8 point lead. They had huge momentum and Paddy, probably making up for the soft penalty, was giving them a lot of decisions. But credit to both teams. It was a great game, chaotic, mistake ridden which added to the entertainment. Tough on Kevin McStay - might be last opp to win a Connacht title with his native county. But he'll have an easier first game in All-Ireland Series than Joyce.

Mayo will be sick.
Galway hyped up too much.
Either donegal or armagh will have their mark in the neutral game.

Ref was v v v poor. Where was the polcing of steps like his compadre gough last week?

Great entertainment.
Galway not so great when the opposition tear into them instead of standing back looking at them.

Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

A very boring game I thought until the last 15 minutes. Galway comfortably the better team and fully deserving of the win. The new rules seems to allow teams to be outplayed for large periods but easily claw their way back into games when the opposition start to ease off.

Galway getting players back will be hard to live with in the latter stages.

Thought it was decent game and it was a level match 18 minutes into the 2nd half. Mayo for me the better team in the opening 15 minutes of the 1st half and better team in the 2nd half as they outscored Galway 0-12 to 0-6 they will regret those missed chances late on and going down to 14 men didn't help matters.



Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

You talk of hype and then hype the hyped up Donegal. Can't see Armagh version 2.0 beating Galway, never mind Donegal in knockout football

The winning of the game was Galway winning 4 of the last 5 odd kickouts.. On another day Mayo do and win

Well theyre not favorites and have never been so far this year. They're third favorites. Do you understand the concept?

At the same time they were without 3 of their main players in the second half, and were against a decent side to whom the game clearly meant far more

Kerry and Donegal have also had close shaves this year. Id fancy Mayo against Cork or Monaghan
Larryin - This treatment by HQ has continued right to the modern era, one day the truth will be know

Exactly. Mayo didn't score for nearly 30 odd minutes but have a purple patch in the third quarter when Galway have eased off. The new rules and weather conditions greatly impact to bring them back into the game before Galway step it up again and deservedly run out winners.
