Mayo look like they will win pulling up now.

Don't think that was penalty major turning point in the game?

[If Mayo do come through, it might be best for them to scrape through]

If Mayo do come through, it might be best for them to scrape through as Squire was saying. The favorites tag doesn't suit them.

They are still 4/6 at half-time, out from 2/7 before the the game.

True and they won't have to worry about the hype if they come through this game with a win.

Mayo tested today and the second half will tell us what they are really made of.

Mayo shit the nest again, when it really matters. Like Kildare, they just don't have the natural footballers required to win an AI.

Only two points in it are you writing off Mayo too soon?

How did McLoughlin miss that free?

O'Connor gone by the looks of it.

Both Mayo scores have come from soft frees.

Massive blow to lose Peter Harte.

As one sided All Ireland minor semi final as you are ever likely to see.

Poor goalkeeping thats the game as good as over now.

Darragh Doherty having some game how many points now?

Monaghan hanging in there when Mayo should be out of sight.

  regardless of the winners ,Sam will be heading to the victors of this game.

Dublin overall have been the outstanding team this year. Mayo very impressive against a ragged Donegal. I do expect to see a Dublin/Mayo final and will wait until both semis are played until making any final predictions. With comments like above and what I'm hearing elsewhere unfortunately the hype seems to be gathering amongst Mayo supporters. If they win on Sunday it will only grow, if they win convincingly it could grow out of all proportions. It has happened in the past, '97 and '04 readily come to mind. This year the team seems very focused and grounded under James Horan but the players are only human and if Mayo do prevail on Sunday it will be hard for them not to get caught up in the hype.

If i were to pick semi final where the winner will come from it will be next weekends however like you said its best to wait until both semis are played.

Evans has completely reversed his opinion on Mayo since prior to Donegal game,he was in the examiner and said Donegal/Mayo game was going to be really tight, very hard to call, swaying slightly with Donegal , he then went further to say if Mayo did happen to edge out Donegal they wouldn't beat Tyrone but Donegal would .

He can't be wrong now anyways.

If Tyrone win he will be wrong.
