In addition to the quality young players Horan has brought through, Coen emerging as a real leader and dependable player is a huge plus for Mayo from this championship. Wouldn’t surprise me if he’s captain next year.

Boyle went off with a knee injury against Dublin in the league match pre-pandemic. Was that a cruciate?

Horan is a great manager for blooding young player. Way more so than others.

Still thought Keith Higgins should have been brought in today.

Higgins is a warrior,if Horan thought he could still do it he’d have put him on

Don’t know precisely what type of knee injury it was but he was back for the club championship.

Not sure Higgins has much left. Came on against Galway and nearly lost the game for them. Mayo backs aren’t the issue anyway

Do tell us what is oh wise one

He will finish up his county career pucking ball for Mayo

The one player Mayo could have done with today was Jason Doherty. He can score, reliable in possession and could have done a bit when Dublin were getting in top in middle third in the second half.

Hopefully he makes it back for next year because I think this team will have a better shot at it next year.

Midfield and forwards. The 6 backs that started today are excellent

Can you use your influence with government partners to create a sort of “ Danzig tunnel “ from Rathcoole to Moneygall ???

It seems to me Horan is looking at 2024/25 as much as 2020. Bring through three or four new players each year and immerse them in the culture which has driven Mayo for the last decade. A seamless transition while staying near the top. Once you drift away from the top tier it’s bloody difficult to get back and it’s getting more difficult by the year. A lot of that culture actually stems from the people in Mayo though. They’re obsessed with their county team in a way others just aren’t.

more roads and tunnels equals more cars

Horan’s biggest blot on his copy book was taking Higgins from the forwards in 2013 and bringing him back corner back to mark Eoghan bloody O’Gara.

It cost them an All Ireland that year I think.

Is this a game of kick outs ? It’s simple really, Dublin have a few lads to bring on in their home ground. The new England Patriots had a win streak at home 40 odd games when they were winning at half time . What’s the buzz about ! Ffs amateur shite

Great post.

Amateur teams who play their finals at home are a disgrace…
