James Carr will be a great one i think I can't see why Evan Regan and Darren Coen are starting above him. I don't think they offer Mayo much while Carr is a threat and has potential.

Monaghan like last year are 'doing a Mayo' gamble to maximise their resources when they hope to really challenge in later summer. They will have taken alot of motivation and learning from last year's All Ire semifinal. I could see them making the final if the draw works out for them.

I don’t see it with Monaghan this year. They have missed the boat.

18 mins gone.
Ros 2.02 Mayo 0.06
Mayo started well and won every kickout and went ahead. Ros went short with one then and worked it to Cox in the middle and he hit a lovely pass in front of Cregg who ran through and buried it.
A few mins later Hennelly hit a short kickout to Harrison who had his back turned. Another goal.
Evan Regan hit DOC with a perfect pass but he blazed wide.
Mayo half awake.
Half time 2.06 to 10 points
The smelling salts were applied to Aiden o Shea after 25 mins and he lifted Mayo and they kicked 5 points.
A row broke out as they half time whistle sounded. Nicely set up for the secobd half but the rain could spoil it.

Looks like Mayo are 'doing a Mayo' aswell this year, a Mayo / Monaghan allireland final so. That'll be different.

Mayos propensity to leak goals, the lack of a free taker and some poor wides cost them the game.

2.12 to 17 point.
Kevin McLoughlin missed a free to level it.
Great second half.
Cox kicked 5 points. Ros keeper kicked 3 long frees.
A Ros player got a black card with 10 mins to go but they couldnt bring on a player as they had used up their subs quota.
Ros deserved it. The winning point from Cregg came directly from a block down by one of their defenders as Mayo looked to kick the lead point at the end.
Entralling finish.

so it could be Kerry v Mayo in Killarney in the first super 8 game.

The Connacht final is Roscommon v Galway. I take this to mean that if Roscommon lose the Connacht final it becomes impossible for Mayo to end up playing Kerry in the first round. They could still be in Kerry's group if they end up playing and beating the Leinster runner-up. The rule about avoiding repeat pairings in Round 4 means that Mayo are likelier to be in the other group as opposed to Kerry's group all other things being equal.

Huge credit to Roscommon and doing it in the end with only 14 men and in really heavy conditions in that second half, and Conor Cox - what a star!
Great suff Conor and deserved MOM!!
A lot of the same old failings were on show by Mayo tonight and every time Roscommon got their hands on ball up front they looked like they could do some serious damage. Mayo's goalkeeping and defensive frailties resurfaced again in the fullback line. Keith Higgins picked up a card again and it's becoming a regular occurrence for a man who used to be so clean and precise in the tackle. Keith Higgins has been an absolute diamond of cornerback for much of this decade but his pace and sharpness have been on wane for some time and tonight he looked every inch like a man that stayed one more season too long. Made a few sallies up front and at one stage should have been pulled for over carrying but that's only covering up. At 34 and with huge mileage in those legs it’s no surprise. Higgins at this stage should at best be a bit player adding experience to come off the bench if Mayo needed to defend a lead late on. However, the truth is if he was a Dublin player and under Jim Gavin he'd long be gone out to pasture. As for the Mayo forwards and missing chances put me done for everything we could day about Mayo forwards and missed chances since 1989 and probably before that! They obviously think a lot too of goalkeeper Rob Hennelly but his record of blunders in big games isn’t exactly a short one at this stage. What was the story with Mayo going so short in last 10 minutes? An extra man and Aidan O’Shea looking like he could dominate around the middle but they ignored their own strength. Most will expect Mayo to make the Super 8s and they probably should but would you bet money on it? Could you really trust them?
Tonight belongs to Roscommon and they really earned this victory through sheer hunger, guts and determination and having scoring ability and taking the chances. Well done to the Rossies!

And also petty and personalised digs from Brolly. They lost a game by one point which they should have won. It is not that long ago that they beat Kerry and deservedly so also. Mayo will have a big say yet I reckon.

Mayo will have a big say yet I reckon.I reckon they won't. Mayo won a national league back in March but that may turn out to be the peak of the mountain top for a few veterans on that Mayo team who have given a decade chasing Sam and falling short. Mayo were the architects of their own downfall last night tactically and in some serious ill-advised team selection decisions at this stage. Horan had some hard calls to make last night and he didn't act being caught in the headlights. Moreover, we thought Mayo would have a big say last year too and they didn't even make the Super 8s afterward. More the pity really as Dublin strolled to their easiest All Ireland yet probably as a result. This Year Tyrone and Galway who are a year ahead of us in their development may be our best bet to rattle the Dubs. I still think it's a couple of seasons too soon for Kerry as we wait for boys to become men but we live in hope!

It gives me no pleasure to say it either because as I mentioned in my earlier post-match comment Keith Higgins has been a diamond for more than a decade but is now well past his best days and it was glaringly obvious he should have been hooked last night after 20 minutes - Horan did nothing. Horan reminds me very much of Fitzmaurice, great men to strategiese and analyse before and after matches but the in-game decision making has been too often poor. Watching Higgins being exposed was like watching Muhammad Ali in his last few fights taking a pounding. Jim Gavin doesn't do sentiment and that's why his the best!

Watching the Fermanagh vs Donegal match and it's halftime - an endurance test itself. Fermanagh are ultra defensive and quite nasty too with late slaps and late tackles flying in, i'd be surprised if they finish with 14 men. Donegal clearly have better quality but so far it's an by inch rugby league battle.
Turgid stuff and finished Donegal 15 - 9 Fermanagh. Tyrone vs Donegal should make for a great battle.

Did EF drop the ball with Conor Cox? Looking at his performances in the league and on Sat he'd have offered us a lot more than a few lads we had on the panel the last few years. Strong, wins his own ball, takes long range scores.
