Longford v Mayo 26th June

[muppet]

Btw anybody know whether there was an A v B game at the weekend?

Any indications of changes heard by anybody?

With all the pessimism in Mayo, they probably called it C v D.

It should have been Hex -v- Why?

Fine -v- Gael?

Longford 7/2 draw 9/1 Mayo  1/4 straight forward Mayo win in the eyes of Paddy Power

Longford beat Carlow in a challenge in Clane this afternoon won by 2 points I think

They won by 3 pts 1-11 to 0-11. I was at it. Longford weren't great at all. Carlow were poor too, but we kicked a huge amount of wides and won the midfield battle.
I heard that Longford drew with Derry and hammered Westmeath, but looking at them Saturday I'd wonder how.

It was 2 bad sides on Saturday to be honest.

Having taken the time out to study things a little bit more I reckon that Longford could have won 10 Connaught titles!

1930s - 1
1940s - 0
1950s - 4
1960s - 3
1970s - 0
1980s - 2
1990s - 0
2000s - 0


So that's my 10. Longford in the 20s were a junior team and prior to that, well, nobody can recall!

What kinda research is that? the only good longford team i have been told about was in the 60s & back then there was excellent Galway & Roscommon teams

IMO 2/3 is all longford would win

1930s - 1 Mayo 2, Galway 3 (Connacht 5)

Not sure about that Shamrock Shore, here is a list of Connacht teams All-Ireland appearances in each of those decades, I cannot see Longford winning 1 Connacht title in the 1950's never mind 4.

Personally I would like to see Donegal, Clare & Longford added to a Western Region along with the 5 Counties of Connacht and London & New York.

So those stats tells us the 40s was the best period for Connacht football... interesting

That s not a bad idea at all. I doubt if Donegal would have it though.  Interestingly Longford played in the Connacht minor league this spring.

Lads, Willie Joe of the matchless Mayo GAA Blog thinks the game in Longford will clash with a minor game in Castlebar against the Ros at five. Surely this must be some mistake? Can anybody confirm or deny?

[mayo51]

minor game is scheduled for 5.00pm.might get more satisfaction out of watching cillian o connor and company in action than the seniors fumbling around in pearse park.

[stephenite]

Looks like we're getting a bad name for ourselves for being downbeat and despondent.

Mayo by 15 points and the bandwagon will be up and running on the road to redemption and All Ireland glory

[highorlow]

When will the team be announced?

Any injury updates?

Altogether now ....

for two irish eyes are shining
and an Irish heart is pining
and when I kissed her and caressed her
in the gloaming long ago
loving Irish arms will press me
and true Irish love caress me
and sweet Irish lips will bless me
when it's Moonlight in Mayo
