Replying To royaldunne: "Very average?? Why right. Mayo haven't beaten Meath since 1951 in championship. That run will not end next Sunday. This is really a case of two teams heading in different direction, Meath are on the way up (proven by promotion, reaching super 8s and really giving everything for 60 mins v donegal, and mayo ,a aging once great team (the best never to win a All-Ireland) on the way down. While we maybe meeting at a similar level, I can see Meaths youth and enthusiasm seeing them over the line. Hon the royal" Ease up.. You shouldn't right Mayo off, and remember you still lost yesterday. You beat Clare to get to the super 8s. Belclare (Galway) - Posts: 904 - 15/07/2019 10:31:50 2211223 Link
they will be written off but Mayo will be difficult and any Meath fan who thinks otherwise is either deluded or simply doesn't understand this game . BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 15/07/2019 10:40:24 2211233 Link

Mayo likely to have players back ,and will bring the do or die attitude that kerry had yesterday. Unlike yesterday its a must-win for them. Different ball-game .

Got hammered both times they faced top teams. Meath are going in the right direction but it will take a well below par Mayo, some luck from the ref and Meath playing at their best to win this game. Mayo have the experience and will be seething after that game yesterday. Mayo to win by 4+ Gator (Monaghan) - Posts: 238 - 15/07/2019 11:40:53 2211265 Link

Had a laugh at clip of Mayo trying to bully Kerry before the throw in . Reminds me of when they tried to bully a young meath team at the start of the 96 final with cowardly digs ,then lay down playing dead when the Meath kids stood p to them, Then got beat off the field. Would be some laugh if they try it again against Mc Entees team Ashrules (Dublin) - Posts: 571 - 15/07/2019 12:29:54 2211299 Link

Also one Mayo player hit the deck without being hit. And the Meath kids? Think you might want to look at the age of the 2 teams for 96 good man.

I think this could be the best game of the weekend. I think Kerry Donegal will be an intense and tight game with little between them, while Mayo Meath will be all over the place but fiercely entertaining. This is all or nothing now, each team knowing that a win on Saturday gives them a chance in their final home game. Can you imagine the atmosphere in either Castlebar or Navan in 2 weeks knowing a win against Donegal or Kerry respectively gets you a place in the semi's. I think the level of fitness needed is where Meath will lose out though. Mayo, like Donegal, are further down the road in terms of their conditioning. As we saw yesterday, Donegal had more in the tank, concentration levels for Meath dropped as well as their kickouts went to pot. I think Mayo's experience in Croke Park will stick to them too. The beating by Kerry was fairly humiliating and I think they will do what it takes to get it over the line. For all the negativity about the Super 8's we could be treated to some really good games this weekend. Sure Cork could still throw a spanner in the works for Tyrone yet too keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 15/07/2019 15:11:12 2211400 Link
Mayo more than capable of beating Meath. We'll just have to see with how they deal with their recovery from yesterday; the fact that they're facing Meath should help stir them up nicely. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3148 - 15/07/2019 15:35:59 2211411 Link
I would expect Mayo to beat Meath easily even after the shocker of a display in Killarney there still a far better team that than Meath and I do think they will beat Donegal depending on the lads coming back grodzilla (Galway) - Posts: 7 - 15/07/2019 15:58:52 2211424 Link
Replying To grodzilla: "I would expect Mayo to beat Meath easily even after the shocker of a display in Killarney there still a far better team that than Meath and I do think they will beat Donegal depending on the lads coming back" I agree they can beat Donegal at home but only if they get Durkan Ruane and DOC back they are massive for mayo and were badly missed yesterday Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 15/07/2019 16:07:24 2211427 Link
Can see Meath winning this one. Injuries to midfielders Tom Parson, Seamie O'Shea, Diarmuid O'Connor and Matthew Ruane has meant that Aidan O'Shea even though clearly carrying an injury has played every minute for the last four weeks. Lee Keegan does not seem to have recovered either from his knock against Armagh but with Paddy Durcan now out Lee is needed on the pitch. Mayo have done very well to get to super 8s with all the injuries this year. Mfs (Mayo) - Posts: 260 - 15/07/2019 16:23:07 2211434 Link
Replying To Galwayjoe86: "I agree they can beat Donegal at home but only if they get Durkan Ruane and DOC back they are massive for mayo and were badly missed yesterday" O'Connor still had cast on his hand yesterday so unlikely to be back for Donegal game. Too soon for Ruane too. Maybe Durcan might be back. Mfs (Mayo) - Posts: 260 - 15/07/2019 16:40:26 2211445 Link

Oh right ,I can still see a big kick in this team yet this year and Donegal in McHale is as good a place as any for it and having the 2 weeks off after the Meath game will do the team the world of good ,ye are not out yet Galwayjoe86 (Galway) - Posts: 258 - 15/07/2019 16:43:32 2211448 Link

Semi Final a week after the Donegal game. Mayo wont get to semi final but if they did it would be 6 games in 7 weeks. Mfs (Mayo) - Posts: 260 - 15/07/2019 16:54:09 2211457 Link
I took no satisfaction from seeing the auld enemy bet in Kerry, best to Mayo against Meath. Mayo will get back on track for sure. I would go with Hennelly in goal because Meath will know that Clarke can be made ineffective if you eliminate short kick out. Also, the obsession by commentators with COC scoring more than the Gooch is rubbish as most (not all) of his scoring points are tap overs, he misses most of the hard ones. I didn't realize Doherty was even on the pitch until he came off. Horan using injured players like AOS is bizarre. Up Mayo. suckvalleypaddy (Galway) - Posts: 1736 - 15/07/2019 17:17:50 2211470 Link
