The way Kerry are written off by some reminds me of Donegal 2014. Tomorrows game will have a full house it's between the two sides in land I don't really care who wins but I hope the game lives up to its hype and isn't another shocking watch like last years All Ireland final.

You only need to cut the grass to bring it back to its former glory. All else looks the same.

It's former glory was one of the best playing surfaces around. I suppose the weeds in terrace are something they should keep?

The longer it remains at 1: 0 the home crowd and players will grow more anxious .

Dundalk now have the extra man for the final twenty minutes. Makes things very interesting.

That's cruel.
It'd be better to have the cow in the helicopter shitting out the door.

If the cow in question was Katie Hopkins it wouldnt be cruel at all.

Casement park in a shocking state.

Fr Ted lovely Girls competition.

Word is that McCarthy is fit. Be very interesting to see who gets dropped if he does start. Kev Mac would be the usual choice, but he's been going very well. Could be Macauley, but that could leave Kerry with an advantage in the air. Hard to see it being any of Flynn, Bernard or Andrews. And Rock, Connolly and Fenton are absolute certs to start.

If McCarthy is deemed match fit I can imagine it would be a straight swap with John Small. After what was believed to be MCL injury it will be interesting to see if McCarthy is match fit to play in such a high competitive contest.

All reminds me of how Donegal went into the 1992 final with barely the shirts on their backs after a wretched semi-final and ended up winning it convincingly.

Don't see the comparison. Donegal was more impressive in Ulster that year than Mayo have been in any game this year. The best team Donegal beat in 1992 was Derry in the Ulster final. In the All Ireland semi final Donegal should have beaten Mayo by double the margin while Mayo were lucky to win by five points yesterday. Dublin 1992 were far weaker than Dublin or Kerry now.

Not alone will it be the greatest embarrassment of all time it will be one on the modern shocks if Dublin don't do the 2 in a row.

Good luck to them. I'm dreding the final. Our only hope is that Kerry do some serious injuries to ye.

+1, sadly.

It won't stop ye getting a sugar rush the next three or four weeks. Mid West, the Western and the News with massive souvenir supplements, interviews with ex-players assuring the masses there's no curse and that these lads are from different stock, touring the schools in the county with the local players visiting, Irish TV will probably have a live show from Mitchels clubhouse.

Full turkey time.

You left out up for the match where Gráinne Seoige will be displaying her lucky Mayo nickers for ratings.

Hard luck to Tipperary a great effort today and championship season for them. Today they were beaten by two goals one against the run of play the other a fluke.

Two miss hit shots for a second Mayo goal. Maybe this is their lucky year?

Fair play to Tipperary keeping at it have been the better side in this game but unfortunately find themselves behind.

Very harsh that half time score on Tipperary.

A Mayo goal totally against the run of play could be a turning point of this game.

Tipperary giving a good account of themselves so far. Great to see I hope they can keep it going.
