And you're the buck giving out about fellas not travelling to the Derry game when you were just going for a spin down the road yourself? Ah here. Ah now. Ah look.

Will be listening online and hoping the lads can win.I think we will see a very forceful Mayo side out on sunday, jom has to be driving them on, derry were extremely lucky not to lose a 9 point lead, mayo should have won that game.The fight is back in Mayo.

Hopefully your right mannix but in fairness to Derry it was quite a strong breeze so it really was a game of two halfs

Just tuning in now to the match online. Mayo 0-14 to 1-9 up ten mins into second half. Sounds very high scoring. O'Shea, Austy and someone else (anyone know who) have been taken off. Heaney, Tom Parsons and Aidan Kilcoyne on. Anyone know were the players taken off injured?
Mayo under serious pressure by the sounds of Mid West. Crucial twenty minutes . . .

[RedandGreenSniper]

Jesus that one is going to be hard to recover from. Serious performance, dominated Donegal and leave with nothing. Fecking typical. Hope Mortimer was taken off injured because if he wasn't its a joke from O'Mahony.
Kilcoyne should have killed the ball too. Jesus don't know if its worth waiting up til 3am in Sydney to listen to this. Mayo God help us . . .
Serious trouble now in the league . . .

Deferred coverage coming up on TG4. Mayo folk, now would be a good time to bring the dog for a walk.

[J70]

Its looks like they blocked the internet coverage though.

Another sweet win for Donegal - we're hanging in there and playing to the final whistle, which is something that is very often lacking in Donegal sides who tend to let their heads drop far too easily. I only got to hear about five minutes of the game - there was speculation that Barry Monaghan went off with a broken thumb just after he came on - hopefully he's ok.

Four points out of four - halfway to safety, with quite a few players missing. Can't complain.

Someone has to stop McFadden taking penalties though - he missed against Tyrone in the championship last year and he's now missed in his last two league games.

[Jinxy]

What players were donegal missing? Seemed to most of the big guns were playing.
