So here we go again v Mayo.
One thing for certain is the Mayo in the QF will be a different animal to the one in the league final

I'd actually really fear for us in this Quarter Final. One thing's for certain, there will be revenge on Mayo mind's for this, it would be the same for any team in this situation. There'll be a terrific atmosphere at the game. Mayo will be different animal this time. I remember a few years back when they played was it Galway or Donegal, thry blew them out of the water up in Croke Park, it was a double header, we were playing as well. I do think that Horan way leave this year. Could this be the last sting from a dying wasp, performance wise from Mayo? I would be very worried. A one off game, any teams game I feel. Mayo have to be, and should be fully respected as always.

We'll be sick of Mayo at this stage. Our 3rd time playing this year. They'll be sick of us also. Given that both counties are travelling from western Ireland it will almost definitely be on the Sunday @ 4pm. I assume Derry vs Clare will probably be on before us with the other 2 games on the Saturday.

So two weeks of "oh Mayo will step it up big time, we're untested and may be flat, Mayo have timed their run" etc Rince and repeat and then two weeks of (if we lose),"we were way off the pace, so and so isn't near inter-county standard, Jack needs to go, poor performance, didn't know what we were doing, untested and ran into road block, Mayo much better" etc) and if we win, Mayo were flat, didn't bring much fight, we're still untested, so and so was poor on the day, Dublin will test us, can't see us winning"

For me this year was always sh1t or get off the pot for this group of players and that remains the case. We dont and wont have any excuses as this group of players have experienced it all.....except getting over tge finishing line. We should beat this Mayo team with a bit to spare.

A full year since the last meaningful game ...the 2021 semi final ....and now we could (hopefully) have 3 huge ones in 5 weeks.

Happy to get this draw. Armagh on the other end to clean up that side so we'll have a great AI final no matter who comes out of Kerry, Mayo or Dublin.
Mayo can't be as bad as the Kildare game. The two weeks should improve them. Hopefully Kerry are making use of challenge matches also so they aren't ring rusty for two weeks time.

Given we've drawn Mayo, hopefully common sense will prevail and the minors and seniors are scheduled for the same day and venue. Probably too much to ask.

Fixtures wise we could be looking at Saturday, Kerry v Mayo Minors 1.30, Kerry v Mayo at 4 and Dublin v Cork at 6.
Sunday Galway v Derry Minors, Derry v Clare and Galway v Armagh.

Mayo were awful on Saturday, Kildare beat themselves realistically. Yes they'll step it up against Kerry but I would still expect that we should beat them. As for the wonderful loyal Mayo supporters , I was in close proximity to James Horan at that Kildare match, and they were far from favourable in their comments to the manager & selectors.

Sky Sports on the Saturday, RTE on the Sunday, I imagine the timeslots are already decided. Dont think the Dubs have been on Sky yet this season.

Common sense surely must prevail, Kerry Mayo Minors on the same days as our senior game. It's been done before, no problems with a treble programme. Cost of living, fuel, etc, this has got to be taken into account. Has to be.

Mayo ended Saturdays game with a better team and will trouble any team if they pick the team they finished with with maybe Ryan O Donoghue to come in.

Says on the GAA site that extra time will be played if necessary. No mention of replays or penalties though.

I am normally cautious in my predications but lets be honest. Mayo are finished. They were poor last year and only got over the worst performing Dublin team in a decade after extra time. Their form this year has been poor again and they have the same old failings of their forwards not being good enough.
Kildare were miles better for the majority of the game the weekend. They just completely panicked when Mayo started coming forward in waves. They didn't have the experience to break the momentum by starting a row, injury etc. Also the Keeper had a bit of a meltdown.
Mayo are a one trick pony. Runners from the half backline. Kerrys defence has improved immeasurably this year with specific emphasis on stopping runners careering through our defence. Kerry by 5+ for me.
As for the mayo supporters. I think they are the most one eyed muppets going. That mayogaa blog makes for hilarious reading.

Just saw the below comment on the mayogaa blog
"I hope every Mayo player slams his marker to the ground before throw in – show the flashy new kids they’re in for a battle"
The usual rubbish they spout aside. Do they not know anything? Flash new kids? Jesus at least 12 of the probable Kerry starter played in an all Ireland final in 19. The exceptions would be Paudie Clifford, Graeme O'Sullivan maybe

I wouldn't think that's the norm of Mayo fans to think the above. I hope that rubbish about attacking players was at least called out there. No place for it.

Any commentary on the Mayo fans should acknowledge how well supported they are in terms of the number of fans who travel to matches.

Mayo’s forwards are still their Achilles heel - can’t see them hitting enough scores to derail us.

The battle of the half backs this game really mayos half backline is their biggest asset as per usual. But their half forward line is a weakness other than flashes from Diarmuid o connor they haven't shown a whole pile in a while. To be fair to mayo they are missing their 2 best forwards in Conroy and o donoghue

Would still have my doubt about Cillian O'Connor in terms of sharpness etc. We all thought gooch was grand until he met Philly in the 15 final. Granted tactics were an issue as well but, think it will be next season before COC is fully right. Can see Tom being given the job of marking Cillian with instructions to break to see how mayo react.
After the horror show that was the league final I assume mayo will play a sweeper. But you never know with Horan. If they do it will allow us to generate our +1 to let Morley sit in front of the full backline. If mayo decide to go man for man in defence I can see Kerry going long into Geaney and Clifford. Making it vital we win our share of ball in the middle.
The middle third will decide the outcome of the game. Our half forward line have to get to grips with the mayo half backs while also getting enough of the breaks in the middle.

Think Adrian Spillane will be back in the half forward line for this game. He does ferocious work in stopping the runners slowing down opposition defences coming out with the ball. Give Mayos reluctance to kick the ball, the more we can bottle them up the better.

I went on the Mayo blog myself for a look. Some are confident and some are not. A few going on about game in Tralee where in fairness I thought they were better than us on the night but our goal made the difference Alot of Mayo fans looking for Limerick as a venue believe it or not. Others reckon run Kerry into the ground like Tyrone last year It's spicing up. Saturday evening in Limerick would be brilliant - need to get an American football match signed up for Croke Park and quickly - and throw in the minor match as the curtain raiser!!

Does anyone know how Brian O'Beaglaoich is after he came off injured against Limerick? Fit to start against Mayo?
