Mayo V Galway - Connacht Final Thread

[An Fhairche Abu]

Your exact seats in the stand are to be allocated when you got through the season ticket stile on Sunday, that's according to the email sent out by the season ticket crowd anyway.

[Farrandeelin]

I hope next year (if) I get my season ticket they will allow supporters in the terraces.

Is there an option to buy the seat next to a season ticket seat this for this game?

I have a season ticket but have not received an e-mail this week, unless it was sent after I left work today.

There was but the closing time for this extra ticket purchase was 1.59pm this afternoon I believe.
I got the email about this on tuesday evening.

Deccie has found his new calling as a nippy corner forward.

[Farrandeelin]

Galway's half forward line is still very strong. Cullinane is not starting either so they should have more ball-players at midfield. Tough assessment for Mayo and my hopes, like Barney's are dwindling by the minute.

[GalwayBayBoy]

Obviously I think Deccie is going to patrol midfield looking to pick up breaking ball so interesting to see what Mayo do with the extra man at the back. I suspect they will leave him where he is and go 3 on 2 at the back.

Wonder is Breathnach injured as this is the one thing he could probably do quite well?

[Duine Eile]

Well that's a complete bolt out of the blue, I suppose they'll be looking to bring him out around midfield to mop up the breaking ball. The rest of the team is as expected, we'll see big Barry coming on along with Bane at some stage I'm sure, hopefully Niall Coyne will have a better day at the office. Thankfully they resisted the temptation to start Barry. I can see Nicky and Sean swapping positions, Sean's been doing well at wing forward and Nicky usually does better in the corner.

I think there will be a lot of position swapping amongst the forwards. I'm sure Cullinane will see some action too. In small doses anyway.

[Duine Eile]

It's a strong enough looking team on paper but its all down to how they play on the day, they were desperate against Sligo, another performance like that and it's curtains for us. Mayo's subs bench is a lot more formidable looking than ours. The only forward cover we have are Bane and Fiachra, Mattie Clancy I presume is still injured.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who reacted that way to the lineup!

Balls, I never got that e-mail.

Thanks anyway, I'll give them a call in the morning and see what the crack is.

[The flame still burns]

With the Galway team picked I've tried to predict the individual battles and who'll win them. Maigh Eo abu!
