Mayo v Fermanagh, Saturday July 09, 2016 McHale Park

[Crete Boom]

As supporters you have to keep shouting till its over ,that is our job.  We know deep down the dream most likely died v dubs last year, its very tough to accept and a part of you doesnt want to accept.  People from other counties can snipe away and snigger but most of them havent a clue what its like to be up competing with the best.  Personally i will always have a fondness for this group no matter how it ends.  They have played their hearts out.  Them games v kerry in 14 were f**king epic,  12 v the dubs and 13 in all games to the final they were just incredible,  it was surreal v galway and donegal that year AOS was like a f**king machine,  cillian the same.  So my point is after my rant,  very proud of this group of men.  Some fantastic days that will live with me and all belonging to me till we die.

Good man Larry great post.I think you summed up what most of us are feeling at the moment!!

When will the team be named? Do they know who to pick with all the injuries?

Tomorrow evening, according to this: https://twitter.com/MayoGAA/status/751144782911582209

Realistically though, we won't know the actual team until the throw-in I would say.

Cheers Iolar. It will be interesting to see how Mayo set up.

Will be named when the O Se brothers have decided who's playing.

The set-up will be interesting alright but as many as 14 names predictable enough unless there are more injuries we don't know about.
I expect Hennelly, Harrison, Keane, Keegan, Boyle, Doherty, Regan, Seamie, Diarmuid O C. Cillian O C. Higgins, Aidan O Shea, Kevin Mc. Durkan  all to start. Who the 15th man is may well decide how we set up.
I expect the 15th man will be between Coen, Andy and Barry Moran, if Barry is fit.

I wouldn't mind see DO'C at MF for a while, I think it'd suit him. I'd put Coen at 6

In the year of the French . In the year of Ma..

Nice one Larry, good shamrocks passion coming out there. I'm with these lads all the way and I trust Rochford.

Despite this passion I think we will get one or the other on Saturday. Either a 10 to 15 point win for us or a 1 or 2 point loss. 

I believe it will be the former.

Does this crap ever end in Mayo?

Willie Joe
Liam McHale
Ciarán McDonald

All abused relentlessly by the most ignorant dickheads amongst our own supporters. Have you considered supporting Roscommon? You would fit in very well there.

D O Connor never looked like a midfielder when he played there at minor,U21 level. S Coen on the other hand stood out at midfield when he played there with the U21s.

I wish we would just leave what has worked well alone. McLoughlin has been one of the best half forwards that we've ever had. Diarmuid O Connor as well even though he's only been there a year or 2. Same the half back line with Keegan, Boyle and now Durkan.

We've enough issues now with 3 of our most athletic players out - 2 of them (Cafferkey and Gibbons) for the year. Time to consolidate and rescue the year as best we can.

We tried to be too clever v Galway. I always wanted Higgins playing in half back line but v Galway he was playing a lot with his back to opposition goal rather than coming onto ball from deeper positions. A role reversal between Higgins and McLoughlin would have been better imo. Over the nearly years McLoughlin has been in the mix of some of the better things we ve done in attack and chipped in regularly with scores as well. It's all there on video if people want to check it out.

Apart from some glaring tactical errors in recent years the biggest failures we've had have been stupid individual decisions players have made. Unfortunately that lack of craftiness was still there in the recent Galway game. Worryingly, our top players still do the daftest things.

Agree fully with this.

I think the daftest things our players do were getting eradicated early on in the league. We had a good mix of kick passing and hand passing and did not do too much running into cul de sacs.

The major flaw for us when playing a sweeper system is that it nullifies one of our key weapons, that is the ability for our forwards to turn over the opposition backs possession. We all know this teams ability on the turnovers and that went missing the last day simply because we were out numbered up front with our spare sweeper tracking back on their kick outs.

I believe this tackling system derived from Donie Buckley so I hope he has more of a say on Sat in the tactical stakes.

Bullsh*t.

One loss in Connacht in 6 years and this nonsense starts. Imagine what it will be like if we have a bad couple of years.

We will be back to listening to the dickheads who chased Ciaran McDonald off the team.
