Mayo V Kildare

Probably the least favored job but it is what it is! Going to be tough but have nothing to lose.

It's the worst possible draw, yuk

Ah! I don't think so. If we feel we are a genuine D2 team we should be well up for this. Mayo aren't going as well as was expected at the start of the year and I think are there for the taking. I'm looking forward to it anyways. Wasn't Cian O'Neill coach to Mayo? He should have a good insight into their strengths and weaknesses

PP have the handicap at 5, more confident than I would be.

The good news going on the fermanagh game is that mayo dont seem to have found many stars since last year. The bad news is the existing stars they have like Keegan, Boyle, AoS, the O'connors and Higgins are better than practically everything we have.

Will SoS Tom Parsons & the younger O'shea be back for this?

Definitely the worst draw.. Mayo 3rd match in a row in mchale park, and still fancied by some to be in the shake up for SAM.
Cian must be tearing his hair out.. galway and fermanagh have shown how mayo struggle against the blanket defence, when it's done properly of course... if he goes toe to toe it will be a shootout that will be difficult to win.

I'd argue it's the best time to play Mayo. We are in a better place psychologically after that win and Mayo still have lots of questions to ask of themselves. They are not firing at all this year. Easier to stomach a loss to Mayo than any of the other teams, bar Cork maybe.

There are plenty of areas to target.

Keeper's kickouts have been poor.

Kevin McLaughlin being used as the sweeper. I think most pundits are missing that he is not being employed as a traditional sweeper. Donal Vaughan could be used for that. Mayo are using him to launch their counter attacks. Man mark him.

Aidan O'Shea is going to get a black card in his next game after the dive and Sunday Game highlighting he should have been sent off. That's against us. Target him, run at him with posession, draw the foul.

Cillian O'Connor and Lee keegan are not firing at all. Lets keep it this way.

The Kildare players can be shown two blueprints on how to defend against Mayo and know that Mayo will give you a chance in attack.

We've got to look at the positives and go out and give it a lash.

We've nothing to lose; a bit like the Cork game last year.

Don't be surprised if it played the following weekend the 23rd, it won't be a double header, what they could do is play our game at 2 and Connaught final at 7, that is something our county board would do to ensure the gate money!

Forgot about the money angle. With the connacht final replay on Saturday, we'll probably play on Sunday so.

Not a great draw but going on their performance on Saturday against Fermanagh, you wouldn't be running scared of them.

Don't ever remember playing Mayo in the championship, must be a while ago. Any of the old fogies know?

With the senior league matches now moved till the Wednesday the CB are obviously expecting the match to be on Saturday.
Double header with our match on sky.
Mchale park has a capacity of 38 k.

Horrible that it is an away draw. Would not have bothered me playing them in Newbridge but as McQuillan showed on Saturday playing away has huge disadvantages.

Obviously they are expected to be far better than us and knowing Mayo supporters they are already looking at round 4 but they have a look of a busted flush about them. A lot of miles on the clock but as far away from an All Ireland as ever.

What have we got to loose, play with the same aggression and passion as Saturday and give them what for. If I was Hyland I would be in the refs ear from the throw in complaining about O'Shea. He is a hot topic and no harm reminding the ref as much as possible.

Just give it everything and see if they are up for it because as I said those lads are definitely looking at the next if not two rounds.

And for the love of God do not inflict another double header on us. Above anything don't do this.

The fixture situation is such a mess. Castlebar would struggle to hold the double header and I couldn't see it happening when the gate money would have to be split between Connacht GAA and Croke Park. Its too messy. Was a bit stupid that they announced Castlebar as the venue for the Connacht replay knowing there was a strong possibility Mayo would need it themselves next Saturday.

I'd imagine if it's not put off for a week they'll be two standalone fixtures in McHale Park. Us at 2pm and Galway v Roscommon at 7pm. It's some headache for the CCCC anyway.

@Taibi we've only played Mayo once before in the championship, back in 1935 according to Ger McNally's tweets.

On a side note it would be quite funny if Chris Healy was marked by Lee Keegan at any time in this game since they are doppelgangers.

Connacht final has been moved to Sunday so looks like it's a standalone fixture for us in Castlebar on Saturday night

I see Sky Sports 5 have a live game from the 3B qualifiers scheduled for 7.00 p.m. next Saturday.

7pm in Castlebar on Saturday.

O'Neill will know a lot about Mayo but in saying that on all known form it should be a formality.

Would really have relished them at home, the atmosphere would have been electric if nothing else.
We've beaten them in our last 2 league encounters home and away and whilst we've nothing to lose I cannot see us getting a result. However stranger things have happened already with Longford beating Monaghan and Tipp beating Cork. We must draw from this and realise it's not impossible.
