Mayo v Fermanagh, Saturday July 09, 2016 McHale Park

Parsons is brilliant player and a loss to any team. But reading that it's not season ending and Mayo will have cover in midfield are with Aidan or Barry Moran if fit. Wouldn't be surprised to see Stephan Coen in there either.

Vaughan has done a job in there in the past also

You have a 'thing' for Vaughan that I cannot understand  He'll more than likely (if he starts there) run like a headless chicken like he normally does there. He also seems to have lost that bit of pace too. Sorry dan, I don't think he's up to it.

Mayo have plenty of cover for Tom Parsons. Have you guys forgotten Mayo reached the 2013,2012 All Ireland finals without Parsons.

Mayo can survive without Parsons until [if] they get to Croke park .For me the loss of Ger Caff is the biggest blow and I do not think we can beat the Dubs or Kerry without him.

You don't exactly  have a great and glorious tradition of beating them with him !

Point taken but he seemed to have regained top form this year.I think the reason that K.Mc was moved back to play sweeper against Galway was because of Caffs absence and Rochsfords fear that Comer would play havoc.As it turned out Comer spent a lot of his time out around the 40 and for me Keane was our man of the match but pace will be an issue for him if we get to Croke Park.

What the Fook is that meant to mean?

We will be man to man the next day (I hope the management cop on that this the only type of game we are suited to), in a shootout we are a match for all teams.

We were a tactical shambles against Galway. Playing a sweeper against them and using one of our scoring forwards  and best ball distributor was a self inflicted disaster.

That won't happen again. I'll be at the game and if it does and we set up with a sweeper I will leave the ground and go to the pub.

Unfortunately we have been a tactical shambles in most games that counted over the years. It's a tribute to the sheer guts and determination of  all players involved that Mayo has been able to put it up to Dublin, Kerry or anyone else who counted in recent years.

Mayo has had problems in the FB and FF lines since James Horan took over. What I saw against Galway confirmed for me that Rochy hasn't managed to solve those issues either. Mayo that day  against the goddamn heron ckokerswere clueless near goal and heedless at the other end and ultimately paid the price.
A bit like a baby in fact: you can get unpredictable results at either end and sometimes from both simultaneously.

I looked at a DVD of the games against Kerry in LImerick two years ago and of ever there was a case of so near and yet so far, this was it. Mayo were easily the better side, same as in the first game and same against Dublin last year burt in all cases unenforced errors kept the opposition in the game until Mayo buckled in the end in both cases.

In Limerick, Caff was left to cope with Donaghy allo through the game, even though it was very obvious that Donaghy was having the better of things. Furthermore, O'Donoghue was left free to pick up knock downs from Donaghy and he went to town on the slackness of the Mayo defence. Donoghy's goal reminded me of Brogan's goal in the '13 and MIchael Murphy's one in 2012 al came from slack marking. You could add in McFadden's goal in that game as well.

Against Dublin last year O'Shea was set to mimic Donaghy's role in Limerick but failed miserably. Every time he got possession, he was hassled by two or three defenders nd nobody available to scoop up any balls he tried to offload. Kerry's outfielders were able to pinpoint Donaghy with superb long distance ball but Mayo's attempts to find our fella were painful to watch.
Two forwards managed a point apiece against a mid-table D2 side in the last game and what bugs the hell out of me is that no moves have been made since to counteract those deficiencies.

The game next Saturday is Mayo's to win or lose. If they hit form,  they should hammer Fermanagh but if the old failings re-emerge once more, our summer could come to a sudden and dramatic end.

The Mayo players owe the fans and Club 51 a big effort. FFS.

Do you not realise by now that his whole pretence of been from roscommon is false, he is more of a Mayo man deep down than you, Moran or sorry Andy as he calls him is his idol, he will be gutted if Fermanagh do ye at the weekend.

every one owes club 51 something after the Oxford Arms shambles

Fermanagh are 7/1. Tasty

Forecast for Saturday's a strange one. Very warm with gale force winds and heavy showers. Pretty shit for July, won't allow for quality football that's for sure.
