Welldone Armagh, best team by far.

Rossies are a mess, i fell for the spring in their step of late and actually went for them to win today. I was very wrong, ideas way above their station , average bunch with a couple of tasty forwards who would do well in a better side but they will just fade into the background like donnie shine has.

Great display all round from Armagh to convert a tricky tie into a routine win,the only downside was the carelessly sloppy goal conceded at the end

[Put Up That Flag]

Syferus, tell us more about how great Cregger is? He really went toe to toe with Clarke today to show who is the most talented!!!!!!!

Anyways at least you don't have to pretend to be a closet mayo fan anymore, get on the green and red for the rest of the summer and start babbling on about how great andy and co are!

Row in the camp is there!?

No need to drag Mayo into this particular mess. We ll probably have our own to mop up soon enough.

[CornerBackNo2]

Armagh are one of the fittest teams I have seen for a long time, who is their trainer?

McGeeney brought the trainers he had at Kildare with him I think. Their name escapes me at the moment

Julie Davis. She was with Cavan before Kildare, along with Grimley.

Julie Davis is the S&C coach and James Doyle is the Speed coach

[Shrewdness]

It seems that the poster PUT UP THAT FLAG exists only to criticise Roscommon. If you look at the few posts they have posted, most or all are highly critical of Ros. But my opinion is, that PUT UP THAT FLAG is really one of the Mayo posters operating under a second identity, and i think i know who it is.

Great win in hyde park, I really was afraid of this 1, but guys played well esp in the poor conditions.

We were solid enough at the back although they did get in for a few easy points, that could hurt us if we play against a top team.

I was worried about having vernon at FB this year but has been 1 of our best players. Andy is having a great season. Shiels is having some season bearing in mind hes keepin Aaron out. I

Special mention should go to the 2 young lads in midfield, they have been superb and played beyond their years. And remember toner and ethan have still to come back. I have watched the game again and they were penalised a few times in the 2nd when competing kickouts and there clearly was no free, but they kept going, showing great maturity!

Dyas has been a revelation, and I love to see kyle playing, although I just wish he was taller :-)

Hopefully we'll get to Croker and the boys give a good account of themselves as itll help no end in their development (mind you so would going the whole way, steady, lol).

On Roscommon, I wouldn't be too hard in your lads, you have some great talented young players, give them time. Someone has to be sitting waiting when mayo go into decline when their older men retire and why not you? Keep the faith. And thanks for welcome yesterday, it makes a change to the cr@p we have to listen to on our travels to away games (ie omagh Lol)

Why are people so hell bent on predicting Mayo are just going to move aside and make way for Ross?

We have just won the minor all Ireland and have another minor team this year who look like they wont be far away either and  have several players at 24/25 who have no intentions of throwing in the towel for a  while yet and lets not forget the 22 year old buck by the name of Cillian , best footballer in Ireland imo, yes there ya go ,i said it, best footballer in Ireland .

You have wrote some dross on here Larry but that beats all.
Get a strong coffee, a fry and you will be sober by time the football comes on..

Is it really that far fetched to make such a suggestion ? Gooch is not around, Cillian is certainly up there with the best of them including the likes of brogan and o Donoghue.

I was lucky enough to be in Cork last year at the league game, the two sideline kicks one from the left and the other the right from about 35-40 yds out were just incredible and showed he is going to be a serious footballer, his physique is perfect, he shows great maturity and has some amount of experience for a man of 22, he is comfortable on the ball , a very good free kick taker. Very little faults, my only concern is his injuries he has had.

Could do more with his hair though.

Mayo would have won one of the last two All Ireland finals if he was at the level of those three forwards did O Connor even score from play in those finals?

[larryin89]

Last years final the man was at about 65% with his shoulder injury. He will be better than the two mentioned in time , i predict he will be poty this year and Mayo wil win Sam Maguire.

a young lad like him getting so many injuries should be a cause for concern. How fit was Brogan in last years final? He hasn't started many games for Dublin since. Mayo will have to improve if they want to reach another All Ireland final as their form in games against Roscommon one point win and almost conceding 3-20 to Galway is not the form you were in last year.
