Replying To jm25:  "Not bitter at all why would we??

Just your post was laughable even on some of the mayo lads you were harsh

I did add something constructive but you didn't respond so here I go again

1. What has neary done to date to be rated higher with silke??

2. Why have you matched Glynn with AOS?? Do you actually expect them to be on one another ???

As for Claire we will stay off this thread if you stay clear of galway thread

Deal ??"

Also, last I checked, we are all allowed to watch GAA and make our own view - Donald Trump isn't in charge here yet.

having watched Neary most of this season, taking his physical attributes and fearless nature (not yet coached out of him but I'm sure McStay is working on that) I think Silk doesn't have the physical attributes to match him in the likely contest for possession. Silke would run the legs off him if we were playing in the old rules but with the emphasis on kickouts this year - I think Mayo could get a lot of joy isolating Neary on Silke for kick outs. Also, the Galway defensive game requires midfield and half forwards to drop deep and keep a double sweeper on defense. This style of play was required because Silke is not a very good defender, he is an excellent footballer, but not a player who can take his opponent out of the game.

As for Glynn on O Shea - The reality for Galway is if Glynn cant handle O shea, he would have to be benched to make way for a taller, more physical defender - which Galway dont really have. If Mayo play O Shea and another big man in the ff line, then Galways regular fb line will be at a major disadvantage (provided Mayo actually kick in in to them).

Considering what McStay has done to date, Galway would be safe enough leaving Glynn on O shea, as Mayo havent kicked ball in to O Shea all season.

As I said, if you want to cry about a Mayo poster posting his opinion on a Mayo thread, you dont have much going on in your life."
