The spotlight falls on Pearse Stadium today.
Declan Bogue AN INTERESTING OBSERVATION by none other than recently-retired Antrim hurler Neil McManus, appearing on the BBCNI’s GAA Social podcast.
While it rarely happens in Gaelic football, he said he was there for the All-Ireland final last year. He said you could sense the nervous tension off both sets of players, which by way of paradox made them less like to take the conservative option, to make sure to try things, take a man on, skin him. When you can’t hear anyone around you anyway, it is harder to play a possession game, moving the ball ten yards here and there.
On co-commentary at the venue, Enda McGinley had his physio hat on when he noted that Kelly might hope it was an impact injury, rather than something inflicted in a twist or turn, meaning ligament or muscles damage would not be simple and almost certainly rule him out of this game. Of all the ways Mayo transpire to self-sabotage themselves, going six up against Cork and transpiring to be held scoreless in the final quarter as they eventually lost by three, was a new one on all of us.
