Replying To county man: "I think so. I remember this wouldn't be allowed one time but I think it is allowed now. If Meath draw Laois/Offaly or Westmeath/Clare they would be favourites to go through i think. I think Mayo and Tyrone will come through on the other draws. They or Armagh and Kildare are the teams to avoid in the next round." Repeat pairings are not possible - it's in the GAA rulebook. gwanyagudthing (Meath) - Posts: 88 - 24/06/2019 22:19:24 2200339 Link

Replying To BeJasus: "Have you not learnt your lesson in 2017. As good as Roscommon are it was more down to Mayos poor attitude that caught them that day. If they get to croke park they will bring the focus and intensity that will likely be too much for many of the super 8 teams." Roscommon were the better team on the night, bullied us at times, we weren't expecting that intensity from them. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7359 - 24/06/2019 22:50:26 2200359 Link
Replying To KildareKelly: "'Kildare Tyrone will be a headless chicken handpassing borefest. 2 gym manufactured teams' This 'gym manufactured' nonsense about Kildare started when Geezer was our Manager so it must be equally true about the current Armagh team too so. I must have dreamt two of the best games of last year's championship in Newbridge v Mayo & Galway. Damn it, I quite enjoyed thinking I was actually there." I forgot to add the great game against Galway in Newbridge last summer. Cavanman must be have psychic vision to comment on Kildare games that he wasn't at plus the the other games including Meath and Dublin that he wasn't at either. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2991 - 24/06/2019 23:11:03 2200366 Link

Replying To Pantani: "Well that is looking at the worst case scenario. If you look at the best case scenario Roscommon would be heavy favourites to get out of the group. I was talking to a Rossie recently who bet 10 euro on them winning the All Ireland at 150/1 (currently 28/1). There are some optimistic souls out there." After last year, getting a win and being competitive in Super 8s is what is most important for Ros this year, anything else would be a bonus Douglas_44 (Roscommon) - Posts: 225 - 25/06/2019 10:17:05 2200468 Link
Replying To Galwayjoe86: "Galway can draw mayo" You're right. Had it in my head that Galway beat Mayo in the Connacht semi final. CastleBravo (Meath) - Posts: 1646 - 25/06/2019 11:06:01 2200500 Link

You're reading too much into my comment - for a start, i didn't use the gym-junkie reference, that was another poster. I just stated that the performance v Mayo was an exception rather than the rule. It came on the back of the "Newbridge or nowhere" build-up and that day I saw Kildare play with a purpose and intensity that I didn't see from them in any other game I saw them in - I didn't see the Fermanagh game, but can you honestly say Kildare even needed the same level of intensity to beat Fermanagh?? cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 25/06/2019 11:13:37 2200505 Link
Replying To Galwayjoe86: "Galway can draw mayo" What about Armagh? thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1745 - 25/06/2019 13:16:09 2200580 Link
Replying To thelongridge: "What about Armagh?" Armagh have every chance of beating mayo on Saturday ,I was just replying to someone who was saying who can't be drawn against each other in the final qualifying round ,the poster said Armagh can't be drawn against Cavan and mayo can't be drawn against Galway Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 25/06/2019 14:28:38 2200631 Link
Replying To Belclare: "Stop... they are on their last legs" Id rather meath draw Galway over Mayo any day of the week , especially at the super 8 stage. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 25/06/2019 14:41:08 2200641 Link

Im been genuine here, Some evidence over the last few years to suggest they will beat Mayo? I honestly feel people are jumping on this Armagh bandwagon. Yes they have some gems in O'Neill and Burns but they cant win you games all the time, hence Cavan. The_Fridge (Tyrone) - Posts: 2088 - 25/06/2019 15:21:58 2200676 Link

Fair enough cavanman47, I see where you're coming from. Anyway we will need the same intensity on Saturday if we are to beat Tyrone. lilywhite1 (Kildare) - Posts: 2991 - 25/06/2019 15:26:48 2200681 Link

I honestly feel people are jumping on this Armagh bandwagon. Yes they have some gems in O'Neill and Burns but they cant win you games all the time, hence Cavan." The best yardstick for the Mayo and Armagh game is that they both played Down this year. Armagh beat Down by a point after extra time whereas Mayo won by 5 points. With Mayo at home I would expect them to win by a few points but it wouldn't be a great shock if Armagh won it. As you say, there is very little evidence over the past few years that Armagh can win this but they are definitely improving. There is something about this Armagh team, now they are not the finished article but I think they could become a force again in the next few years.

Not sure who is saying Armagh will beat mayo coz I didn't I only said they have a chance which they do,Armagh aren't up there yet with Donegal and Tyrone in Ulster but they are improving .mayo are so unpredictable and if they put in a shocking performance like they did against Roscommon then Armagh could catch them Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 25/06/2019 16:14:13 2200709 Link

I think most people are looking forward to seeing this game due to both team's style of play. It's hard to see Armagh being capable of actually winning in Castlebar this year but in my opinion people are reacting to an exciting team and anybody who has seen Armagh can't help but be impressed with the players they are producing. Every new team needs to gain experience but I reckon Armagh are a team we'll be seeing a lot of over the next few years, they probably have at least two or three Young player of the year contenders at this stage already which shows the direction they're heading. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 25/06/2019 16:23:05 2200716 Link

My missus screamed when she realised it was in castlebar, and i can see her point. This team can be squeezed and beaten in castlebar as we have seen before, but it's virtually impossible to play the same game and box them in at croke park , Too good footballing teams , Looking forward to it.
