Is McG back? Or still injured? Don't think he played against Shrule on Sunday.

Wouldn't have peader starting, impact sub at best.

Clarke / Hennelly will be 50/50

According to The Mayo News, McG due to resume training this evening, even though he didn't line out for the Stephenites at the weekend. I can't see him starting - I'd say it will be AOS and Kilcullen. McG/SOS/Gibbons in reserve so we have backup.

Higgins lined out for Ballyhaunis so should be back for 26th - will surely start in one of the corners.
Cafferkey is still out though and is looking doubtful for Galway match. Suppose Vaughan will continue at CHB...
Geraghty and Howley went off injured in their games, but didn't say how serious.

[macdanger2]

Sh*te, didn't hear that about Geraghty & Howley.

Is SOS close to being back??

Would T Mort be an option at CHB? You might need to anchor him there though so he doesn't fire away off upfield!

The Mayo posters seem to be much more stable this week.

The planet Greece moving into the default constellation is helping me see what is really important this month: finding two defenders a midfielder and two forwards, then ten reliable teammates to go with them.

I think if the Fed ends QE2 it should be good for Mayo especially with commodity prices firm in Ballyhaunis .

watching the pressure the leitrim backs were putting on shine and kilbride and yet the just needed a inch of space and over the bar, its nearly impossible to stop them

I thought Shine was very wasteful on Sunday, maybe on a dry day he would have scored 1-7.

His shot selection was poor in the 2nd half but his opening point settled them down and his goal killed Leitrim. Apart from that he showed for and won alot of hard ball out in front in the first half when it was still a contest. I thought he was even more effective than Kilbride in the general sense.

His shot selection may have been poor but everyone one of those shots were hit extremely clean, guarnteed pts if there was no wind imo, there even a 45 which he hit wide that went 15 yards past the goals. Unreal striker of the ball. And i thought he looked sharp and for a big man hes awful composed on the ball under pressure. Kilbride too.

Sligonian stop agreeing and +1ing me! Its startin to freak me out!
Reverse pychology?

No, youve simply started to talk some sense

Looks like us in Sligo have more confidence in Roscommon than the rossies do. Interesting that. I'll leave ye to it.

Clarke,Higgins,Gardiner,T Mortimer,A O'Se,McGarrity,McLoughlin & Ronaldson whom didn't start v London will start v Galway.

       

Big boys?

And this is considered a new start for Mayo, i.e clearing out dead wood.

Big boys?

E.g the guys that didn't start v London & would be considered first 15.

Ros are the big boys in Connacht now.

Is it worth playing a semi-final at all?

You'll have to ask a rossie however the 06 minor players are big boys now & of course it's worth playing sure ye Mayo lads will be thinking Croke park when you beat Galway.

SOS played a full match at the weekend so that s a bit of good news. Maybe the only good news. Howley is injured again and Geraghty went off v Ballina in Cross. Didn t see anything happen him - must be a pull or something.

I wouldn t give McGar any chance of making it. He was hardly running last week. Harte looks like he s held together with bandages but maybe he should be added to the panel anyway. This could be a short campaign if we misfire again can t afford to be waiting for a fella to be 100%.We re badly missing Harte s drive and thickness in the half forward line.

Not sure what the story on Cafferkey is. Anyway we look stretched. Would he go with the 2 O Sés in midfield I wonder?

I wouldn t expect too many changes from London. Maybe Clarke, Higgins, Trevor the O Sé 'twins' and McLoughlin. I can t see Ronaldson starting. A rookie club player unused to corner back did a job on depriving him ball the last day. He did get a few scores by peeling off and getting a few popped balls. I think he ll stick with 2 men inside that can win their own ball consistently.

Considered by whom? Don t mean to be short with you  but after last few years we dont have a first 15 or anything like it. Maybe only Cavan were in as bad a state as regards a settled team and look what happened them.

Big boys? Gardiner hardly. Ronaldson never has been. McGar and Higgins inj for London. McGar unlikely to figure for a while and dropped last year anyway - was left on the bench for whole Longford game last year. Clarke a 50/50 choice anymore. Trev was just back in panel but should start v Galway. Strange that McL and AOS did not start against London but maybe JH deliberately held them back but needed them to get over the line - just. They ll start v Galway.
