The subtitles are atrocious
Great podcast lads
Hi Tommy, I'd normally have been in salthill as a Galway man for the Tyrone game but my daughter got 2 tickets for the champions cup final at the aviva, I've got to say it was just one of those games I'll look back on in time and say I was there, it was just monumental and a final that'll stay with me, a game for the ages, hopefully just coming back to Galway they keep improving and I've a feeling that they have much more to come and that this could very well be the year they really light it up, great show boys.
great panel
The three of ye should go straight onto rte
I love the pod (subscriber 😍) but TLDR; it's hard to listen to at times as a Mayo fan 😂
So much chat on how bad Kerry were, and shock at Mayo's performance when in the league Mayo beat Kerry by 7 points. I was there and remember Seanie started and both Cliffords were on at half time, they've had months to adapt to Mayo's style they were just beaten all over the field on both occasions – I don't rate Kerry this year, what have they done this year to show us they are contenders? While they may have the best player possibly ever to play gaelic football, it's a team sport and they're lacking hunger and depth in squad – dare I say Jack O Connor's managerial style is a bit outdated. Dublin are no threat they'll struggle with Roscommon haven't been tested all year long being in Div 2. Agree with defensive set up possibly causing problems, however it didn't seem to bother Mayo in the league and in fairness – the team playing Roscommon were after playing 8 games in a row 😂 Paddy at his core still thinks Mayo are "bottlers" and is failing to realise we have a 90% new team, new manger, new mentality can't say the same for Dublin regurgitating Cluxton. We have some of the best backs in the country (whether ye see it yet or not) – replacing some of the best backs in GAA history, Colm Boyle, Keith Higgins, Lee Keegan etc. Sam Callinan is like 19 and cleaned Seanie O Se at the weekend 😅 We don't have any weak positions, keeper, backs, midfield, forwards (that can score both goals and points/ from play) are solid – with more on the bench if needed. Haven't even needed Cillian O C (All time top scorer in championship) yet either. A lot of this is unique for Mayo. Galway are strong but not strong enough to beat Mayo this year. If you go back through the years it's always the same whether it's RTE pundits or independent media – you just neve really r give Mayo credit they deserve. Most resilient and adaptable team in the GAA hands down.
I think Paddy will be eating his words come July but that's just my hot take.
