All-Ireland SFC Quarter Final Mayo v Cork

[ross4life]

Best of luck Mayo nobody wants to see all Munster semi final.

I'd say there are many thousands who want to see exactly that !! Sunday evening will tell all.

I thought Kerry fans for sick of playing/beating Cork at this stage?

I would love Roscommon to have another shot at Cork this year especially with no Goulding,Sheehan & no Nicholas Murphy to bail them out at midfield if things are going bad. Mayo should have nothing to fear afterall you have been playing at this level for years & even the younger players are use to Croke park & winning there. It's up to Horan to get the tactics right & defend better than Down did & of course the Mayo full forward line will have to play better from play than it did v us.

Best of luck Mayo nobody wants to see all Munster semi final.

Yeah we're all dying to see Mayo play Kerry again.

It's not All Ireland final so they have a chance especially the confidence they would get if they beat Cork.

The best thing for the development of this Mayo team would be if they give Cork a right rattle and lose by 3/4 points.
Gives them something to build on.

Look at it this way, beat Cork, scrape past Kerry and win a handy Final.

That'll give us something to build on.

If you beat Cork, I'm going to take the dog for a long walk during the semi-final.
He doesn't need to see Mayo get another tanking.

That's the best possible scenario that's been played out in my head. I cannot see us beating Cork, however as you stated in your post jinxy, Mayo are ayoung team and hopefully they won't throw in the towel. It's very hard to give a detailed preview because nobody really knows how good Mayo are.

Yet if Cooper or anyone from any other county scored 0-8 from frees in that kind of weather (and won a few as well) he'd be canonised. But because he's from Mayo it's a case of 'he got lucky' or some other shitty excuse. Also, if any goalkeeper caught a ball bouncing over the bar he'd be praised from the highest heavens. We're written off, sure Cork only have to show up and wipe the floor with us, and given their strength in punishing Down's open gaps all over the pitch they very well might. Where there's life there's hope, albeit a very small proportion of it regarding Mayo winning. An honourable defeat would be ok in my opinion.

In the same breath as you saying Mayo are underrated at national level, you're settling for an honourable defeat? We're either good enough to be able to compete with Cork or we're not.

[Jinxy]

At the moment you're not.

[RedandGreenSniper]

Why are the Meath boys so interested in this thread?

[Rossfan]

Sure they have to pass the time somehow.
Wouldn't you think they'd be shafting the manager by now

An honourable defeat for Mwr would in all likelihood be the best for them , as indeed it would have been in 04 and 06.

Have to say Mayo lad that ye'd make a pigs ear out of a silk purse. Ye're Connaught champions in an AI quarter final. Man up, look positive and bate 10 lumps of living sh**e out of the langers, especially on the right side of the field now that dead eye goulding is out
