Roscommon vs. Mayo - Connacht SFC Semi-final (Dr. Hyde Park, June 8th 2014)

[ballinaman]

I think we're all a bit obsessed with the first XV in Mayo.
Got to think about a 20 man game now and how the likes of Feeney, Dillon, Andy, Sweeney,Moran, Barrett ect will be used off the bench.
Line hasn't always been reliable in making such calls but one would hope we've improved. Can't expect to to ask the team to push on without looking at their own previous weaknesses.

Diarmuid O'Connor had a decent game against Kildare and is good for a goal. Doherty is a man that will always take his goal chances. Cillian and Freeman also get goals. McLoughlin will take his goals when given the chance.

Looks like we will be targeting early goals then.

Well, at least ye've given up trying to get forwards that can score points.

Up to three of that line up probably won't start. With that you probably will have 8 of the first 9 holding their positions and anybody occupying the front 6 positions. Real guessing game stuff (if it's not the real starting team). Hope it is. We need to be blooding a player or two. And if we are going to do this, it has to be in the Connacht championship where we have the trap door of the back door. Anyway here's to allot of scribbling on the program on Sunday.

Yes we leave that to the backs anymore.

The Rhus using the Ros game to experiment  I see.
Ah well sure why not? They're goin to walk it anyway.
I just hope effin Tyrone get to the Ulster final so we can avoid the hoors in the qualifier Draw.

not about experimenting . more a small change of the guard and keeping things fresh.
Horan is giving the new guys the responceaility  and its sink or swim but i hope they are not discarded too soon if they are not quiet ready yet

Conor is a brother of the other 2 O'Shea's from the head on him I take it??

If so, anyone know if thats a record for Mayo to have three brothers start a game? (Daddy & Mammy O'Shea must be very proud too).

Mortimer's???

Mortimer's???

No just two Mort's and their cousin Micheal

Mortimer's???

Yeah I think Kenneth, Trevor and Connor played in the loss to Fermanagh in the qualifiers in 2003. Can't think of any after that.

Some hoor of a day that was in Sligo. 6 starting forwards were from intermediate clubs too !

Yep it was pretty terrible from us alright but the Fermanagh lads/lassies were sound skins though. I wouldn't have thought those two teams would have been in the All Ireland semi 13 months later leaving the ground that day .

Was that the Saturday evening with thunder and torrential rain?
A lot of those qualifier disasters have morphed into a single nightmare.
Fermanagh, Derry, Westmeath and Longford were some days.

Yes it was, Mind you I was sitting on a beach listening to it on madwest. I think Maurice Sheridan slipped as he was taking the potentially equalizing free at the end of the game.
