All-Ireland winning Galway midfielder Seán Ó Domhnaill doesn't give the Tribesmen much of a chance against Mayo tomorrow.

"It is hard, you don't want to be negative and I hope I am proven wrong, but I don't think so," the An Cheathrú Rua club man told The Irish Independent.

"It will have to be something we have not seen before from Galway, it will be a total shock if something happens.

"And the only way I can see that is getting two or three goals really early that would really give us a lift and take the wind out of the Mayo sails.

"It's a bad day for Galway football when the Leitrim manager comes out and says we are playing negative football and sitting on the ball.

"In saying that, we do really have really exciting forwards. We are trying to play a very defensive game, but some of the players aren't really able for it and aren't really buying into it, which is a very hard thing for Kevin (Walsh).

"A lot of people are still talking about the Kerry game years ago and games like that. But supporters, we just want to see an improvement. Defeat was never a problem for Galway if we were beaten by a better team, but we have been falling behind a bit.

"If we go out and Mayo are the better team then fair enough, but we don't want to be shown up like we were shown up two years ago.

"Let Mayo know that when they do come to Pearse Stadium that if they do take the win, that they have earned it and have the scars to show for it."
