Cork v Mayo 31/01/16

[Farrandeelin]

Anybody know of places to eat near the ground? Will head on Sunday morn and home again Sunday eve so I want a quick enough getaway.

[Mayo4Sam]

The silver Key si literally just round the corner or you could go into Douglas for Eco but that would need to be booked

[rosnarun]

Is Evan Regan available?
If he is along with Freeman and O'Shea we should have a reasonable fw line although not one that would last 70 mins probably.
Along the lines of the following to pick from maybe?

DOConnor, JDoc, KMac,  Ronnie, Regan, O'Shea, Freeman, Gallagher, CO'Shea.

I dont think Adam Gallagher is on the Panel at least they didn't seem to be counting him when listing the Missing players,
shame if he's not.
Big year for conor o shea time for him to make his own name  . I think he can
My starting six from what available
DOConnor, JDoc, KMac
Ronaldson A oshea  C oshea

though i dont expect Aidan to start so throw in regan give him a chance

[macdanger2]

I think Ruttledge has started all 3 FBD games and did reasonably well so he could start or at least come on for a debut

[mayoman dan]

Ive heard that Regan will start.I dont think Gallagher is in the panel to be picked which is unfortunate.As for Freeman i dont know is it worth persisting with him.Him pulling out of a 50/50 ball when we were all level with the Dubs at the end of the first game has haunted me all winter.I genuinely believe had we got ahead at that stage we would have won the game and who knows after that.

Freeman might be worth a run this year with cillian out for league campaign  , he didn't actually back out of that one if you watch it closely it was Philly mcmahons ball every time , he was nearer the ball by half a yard I'd say.

Population is as much the reason Cork and Dublin have dominated the league in recent years as money. Injuries just don't effect them half as much as other counties.

[larryin89]

Yeah and what was the population of Dublin in the 20yrs between 93-13 ?

We might have to agree to disagree on this one Larr.Ive watched it a thousand times.He slows down and changes his body shape.Maybe pulling out is the wrong way to word it but he didnt commit 100% to winning that ball.He was conscious of the hit coming all through that play.Id love to see Freeman play well he was brilliant in the 13 semi final v Tyrone and i think subbing him off in the final that year was disasterous for all involved butit seems every yer were waiting for him to do it and he very rarely does.

Any other year I would have said Mayo would struggle to survive with the way things are for them, last year division 1 was way stronger than this year, with that in mind they should survive.

New management team in not ideal circumstances

A few players injured or not involved yet due to mileage on clock

Players unavailable due to club commitments

Inexperienced management trying out young inexperienced players and trying to put their own stamp on team

Also how much of an effect has the last couple years had mentally on the panel, how many more times can they go an unfruitful well

Think the new management could be a breath of fresh air. Nothing personal but last year's management was already stale when appointed and the appointment was seriously compromised.
Only a few players unavailable due to club commitments. Cunniffe the only regular and the others are in places where we are strong.
Not aware of any players not involved because of milage on the clock. There are a few injuries but that is normal.
Can t think of any inexperienced players that are likely to feature in the league. Any lad that gets a debut in the league will be well used to playing at a high level.
We had a problem converting possession into scores in games in FBD, that is true.
Compared to most counties our visits to the well have been more fruitful than most and I ve no doubt that the players are still going to perform at the top level. Why not? As James Horan pointed out during the week there are sportsmen and women that train harder for other sports in this country and never get the recognition or respect footballers do. The idea that lads in their prime melt away and lie down and die because they lose some top games is ridiculous. They will want to get back there again and do better.
This bunch of Mayo footballers have played in some great games in full houses and all are still ambitious and focused. Whoever beats us this year in championship will have a job and if they do they will probably win the big chalice again. That's been the norm for a while.

The end of a quality team is rarely graceful Moy. The AI final of 1980 was the pinancle and the end of the 4-in-row Roscommon team all in one. You'd be laughed out of the building if you said in September 1980 that it would be a decade before we even win another Connacht title. We also were coming off the back of some very good underage sides. Momentum is a very funny thing.
