I presume tickets will be on sale at the gate?... should b a cracker! Monaghan Exile (Monaghan) - Posts: 442 - 30/05/2022 19:53:59 2421257 Link
Replying To Monaghan Exile: "I presume tickets will be on sale at the gate?... should b a cracker!" I think all ticket sales have moved away from the gate. You'll need to buy online through teh GAA ticketmaster portal, or at selected SuperValu or Centra stores. Loughduff Lad (Cavan) - Posts: 2385 - 31/05/2022 09:36:58 2421290 Link
Surely no rush to get tickets ? wont sell out, buying in the car up the road!!! monaghanmad (Monaghan) - Posts: 378 - 31/05/2022 09:54:12 2421294 Link
No fresh news as of yet on our various injuries, though you'd expect some to come through towards the end of the week. Hopefully some of the more senior players (Mullin, Durcan, Hennelly, O'Donoghue) are fit enough to play, otherwise I think we'll be under real pressure. Mayo have struggled in recent times against teams getting lots of men behind the ball, turning us over and breaking at us. Hope Horan has something new up his sleeve.

Mullin, Durcan and Hennelly will all start I think. Ryan O'Donoghue is still a major doubt by all accounts. No rush buying tickets. 25k capacity and I'd be surprised if the attendance hits 18k.

No slight at all on Rory, has been very good filling in for Rob, but doesn't have his intercounty experience. Also kickouts can improve and Rob is another freekick option, might be needed as it looks like Ryan won't be starting. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7346 - 31/05/2022 13:23:40 2421370 Link

I hope if he does come back that he's fully fit to take all those kickouts, frees and 45s off the ground. Kicking 30 dead balls a game puts a lot of tension on the lower body. Think Rory Byrne has been good when called upon this year, wouldn't worry too much about him if he is selected. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 31/05/2022 14:36:05 2421400 Link

Byrne has done nothing wrong but his kickouts are too safe IMO. Constantly going short leads to the ball being hand passed up the pitch giving opposition time to get bodies behind the ball. Hopefully Hennelly is 100% and we can start going long to speed up our attacks. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 420 - 31/05/2022 15:18:49 2421405 Link
Hennelly, Mullen, Durcan are meant to be available for selection. Perhaps Flynn also? Mayo have never lost qualifier at home, Monaghan's qualifier record over the last 5 or so years has been poor. Its easy to see why Mayo are the clear favourites here. A lot of the Monaghan starting 15 has been around for years with loads of milage on the clock. Under Banty they are too open defensively and that was a major down fall for them against Derry who got in for rather easy goals. It's the type of team with less focus on defence that Mayo love to play and a game they should be winning by a bit to spare but knowing Mayo they'll leave Monaghan in the game and just win by a point.

Think we are massive underdogs here for a number of reasons but mainly because we have been so poor defensively under Banty conceding v soft goals against even poor sides. We have no defenders playing in the half backs so leave our back line exposed to runners. Mayo might not have won an all ireland with current side but bar 18 they are usually there or thereabouts the last decade losing to eventual winners they rarely lose these kind of games and defeat on Saturday at home to aging monaghan side would be humiliation for them. Think monaghan will give it everything make a good game of it but mayo will eventually get to them in final quarter to run out comfortable winners. I actually fancy mayo to go through the back door to the final again where they will meet dublin again. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1799 - 31/05/2022 16:49:36 2421435 Link

On Mayo I agree, I think the structure this season has led some teams to aim towards the start of June, another being Tyrone. Mayo will peak for this game and it's therefore hard to see Monaghan getting a result. The only thing about Mayo teams is they always give you a chance despite how well they play so I wouldn't totally count Monaghan out of it. Monaghan have worked miracles in the league to remain competitive, however it would be sad to see it go completly wrong in Castlebar which is also possible if Mayo get a run at them. sam1884 (UK) - Posts: 999 - 31/05/2022 16:57:58 2421438 Link

The only thing Horan has up his sleaves is his arms, he is very predictable. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 31/05/2022 17:16:33 2421443 Link

I'd be very surprised if Flynn togged given that he fractured his ankle less than two months ago. I did the same thing a few years back and it took several months to get back on the field again (granted I didn't have county level resources at my disposal). Lads saying that Monaghan leak goals but tbh you have to create the goal chances first to profit from that, which is not something we have really done much of in the last 3-4 games. The MacHale Park factor is a bit overstated too as we have lost a lot of games there in recent years, and to Monaghan on a few occasions too. It's a toss up at best, at this point in time.

The solution is nothing new in the Gaelic world over the past 100yrs. How about considering kicking the ball.. Vish (USA) - Posts: 88 - 31/05/2022 17:25:53 2421449 Link
Hard to know. Monaghan must be the most inconsistent team in the country. On their day they can put it up to anyone. Mccaron, Mcmanus etc some class acts there if the get their act together Mayo really poor against Galway and a one point loss was more to do with Galways young lads being inexperienced closing a game out than any quality by Mayo. Saying that they have some serious operators potentially to come back. Mullen, Durcan and COC (with more training done) will make a big difference ...... if fit Hard to call. AOS definite weak link out the field. I always liked him as a 14 if any half decent ball goes in but they seem to have given up on that.

The winner here is going to cause one of the big guns a serious headache before its all over. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 31/05/2022 21:13:32 2421483 Link
Replying To realdub: "The winner here is going to cause one of the big guns a serious headache before its all over." If Mayo win I'm expecting them to at least reach the semi final and if its a semi final against Galway then I'd expect another All Ireland final appearance. Monaghan a Quarter final at best though the type of inconsistent team that could lose to another team they are expected to beat. Gaa_lover (USA) - Posts: 3347 - 01/06/2022 17:57:49 2421667 Link
