They could have done the group winners play in the final and the 2nd place teams play 3rd place playoff instead of the situation we are in now i only suggesting a 3rd place game because it would give each game team a 4th game but you can scrap that too.

I'd scrap it. It'd be nothing more than a glorified friendly.

At present, It looks like theres really only 2-3 positions up for grabs/undecided really on the mayo team.

In the half back line - 4 players battling for 3 positions - Durcan nailed on - mclaughlin/coen/plunkett for the other 2

Corner Back - In an injury free world Harrison slots in, Enda Hession/Ben Doyle/Eoin O donoghue the three men given a shot during the league, very hard to say who is the front runner there. Looks like O Hora has gone back in the pecking order altogether. Without Harrison Id be trying to put Coen back there. We'll probably know more after Sunday on who is the frontrunner here.

HF line - Anyone's guess - Bryan Walsh the man who put his hand up most in the league. Definitely the most unsettled line - By virtue of not disrupting a FF line of ROD/COC/Tommy Conroy, I think Aidan o shea will probably come in at 11 or else Aidan at midfield and Diarmuid moves to HF, this would leave one spot in HF line - could be Jordan Flynn/Jason Doherty/Fionn McDonagh/Kevin McLoughlin/Boland/Loftus etc etc - you'd be brave to predict who takes that shirt at present.

Carr misses out after scoring 2-1 from play , yet boland starts . Cant see what's happening in training i suppose . Eoin o Donoghue dropped for hession who looks about two stone too light for county yet .
Horan has been an absolute revelation for mayo football and will be long remembered for making us serious but I just dont get some of his line of thought at all . Defensive structure is so easily exposed because of no protection too . If he doesnt want to play a sweeper he cant allow Mullen and Keegan to push up , it's just bollix , how many goal chances do we giveaway every game . Its farcical in the sense its gung ho but shur let Mullen play further up the pitch then if that's your philosophy,  its like it's a cotradicion of sorts .
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

Half time Westmeath 0-14 Cork 0-12. Good value for that lead and could be further ahead if Westmeath had taken their 3 goal chances. Why is no fans at this match today?

Excellent defence not really a characteristic of this game, and Cork should have had a fourth.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

A tough one for Westmeath as they ran Meath and ourselves close in the opening two rounds.

Ray Connellan was big loss for Westmeath when went off injured. The 15 Dolan any relation of Dessie?

Would expect Mayo and Kildare to win well today.
