I feel Morley can be got at for Kerry but youâd imagine a Kerry team under Jack Oâ Connor should have enough for a slightly depleted Mayo team. Kerry by 4. Iâd agree on Tommy Conroy, Ryan Oâ Donoghue does seem to be a more forceful attacker than him.
Was never a free , Connolly just couldnât get past barrett who was an absolute rock that day âŚ
Conroy and ROD are typical Mayo forwards.Good but not good enough to score 1-05 or 1-06 to help a team to win an AI.Theyll do it again Leitrim or Roscommon alright.
Iâve never watched the whole thing back.But at the time I thought Barrett was a colossus that day against a Dublin team at their peak.
Its the best GAA match of all time and doesnt half the recognition it deserves.
Iâd be amazed if thereâs ever a better one.
Youâre like Harry Potter with your scar tinglingâŚ
Iâd say youâd a semi reading it!
James Carr is fortunate to be starting based on performances this year I think. Still basking in the glow of that cracking goal against Galway in 2019. Be interesting to see how that new full-forward Carney fares. Was reasonable enough against Monaghan.
Tommy Goals is the most inaccurate naming of a sportsperson since Eddie the Eagle
Mayo have a big turnover in personnel since the League final:
Rory Byrne, Padraig OâHora, Michael Plunkett (injured), Rory Brickenden, Jason Doherty and Ryan OâDonoghue (injured â but I guess we wonât know the full story there until Sunday) all started in the League decider but arenât included in the team for Sunday. The six who are named in the team for Sundayâs game but didnât start in the League final are Rob Hennelly, OisĂn Mullin, Paddy Durcan, Eoghan McLaughlin, Diarmuid OâConnor and Cillian OâConnor (who came on as a sub that day).
Ainât that the truth. The Mort was right when responding to the quip that theyâd never win one with him on the team.
Think Kerry will really do a number on Mayothis weekend.
Kerryâs biggest asset is Jack patrolling the sideline
Kerry have an array of what appear to be accomplished shooters from out the field. One thing I like about them is theyâre not afraid to have the shot and not this inexorable fannying around to free a man 5 yds out.
Kery have flaws at 1, 3, 6 & 8. And that is where the Dubs will hit them.
Interesting to see Jack Barry injured.
5/2 was a great price for the Dubs
Mayo wonât get near Kerry but that certainly doesnât mean they are unbeatable. It will be interesting to see when they have to defend. I donât think Mayo have the fire power to make them do that. De Dubs will though.
He went stone mad on the Twitter machine this evening.
Itâs like heâs Vladimir Putin and Mayo football is Ukraine.
He is determined to destroy it.
I see Mark Moran was sub today. Does he start for Westport?
