[thewobbler]

Mayo getting decimated in midfield.

Galway will likely rue not pushing ahead here.

[tyroneStatto]

Walsh 

Has missed 2 easy frees.

[Wildweasel74]

Wondering how hard the breeze is here, to I see the ball blowing off the tee.

[From the Bunker]

DOC lucky not to get a Black there!

[Wildweasel74]

Where's all the Mayo lads standing for the kickouts, it like 4 on 2 there steady.

[SouthDublinBro]

Galway are clearly the better team.

[Gael85]

Shane Walsh having a mare. 4 wides.

[balladmaker]

All Ireland winners ain't playing in Salthill today, poor all round.

[From the Bunker]

All Ireland winners ain't playing in Salthill today, poor all round.

This isn't the Tippey-Tappey stuff of the previous weeks.
This is a highly intense knockout derby with a monster of a breeze disrupting everybody.

[From the Bunker]

Poor that Mayo only realised they need to slow the game down with 10 minutes to go.

[thewobbler]

Galway made a mess of that. They played throughout like a team protecting a lead rather than one with midfield dominance and a gale blowing behind.

They'll have 15 behind the ball from now.

I expect we will see COC early this half, playing in a withdrawn role.

[Wildweasel74]

Game a hundred miles an hr but plenty of mistakrs

[Gael85]

Would expect Mayo to rack up a  big tally in second half with that breeze. Walsh not in game and Galway would get much against that breeze. Mayo great value now at 10/3. Conor Gleeson the Galway goalie is an accident waiting to happen.

[Blowitupref]

Galway are clearly the better team.

Good value for their 5 point lead. Mayo's with the wind advantage 2nd half might improve.

[bennydorano]

Mayo & Donegal, 2 teams that don't know how to play with a wind, expect Galway to win.
