All Ireland Football Final 2017 Mayo V Dublin

[Syferus]

Well there's not a lot I can say to that, u couldn't possibly be wrong. Yourself and Syf must get on well with yer statements as absolute FACT


My original point stands, it was hilarious to see the whole hill going daft to see St. Dermo coming on, except it wasn't him was it. Lownes doesn't even look like him, shorter too, I suppose he did have a blue jersey on him

What the fùck do I have to do with your scrap?

[straightred]

When was the last time we had the same 2 sides in the final in consecutive seasons? Mayo are more or less the same side that suffered defeat last year whilst Dublin have McCaffrey and O' Callaghan to come into last years side who have improved the team. It's very hard to make a case for a Mayo victory but they very rarely fail to perform in these big matches, they simply lack one or two specialist marksmen at the very top.

In his post match interview after the match yesterday Gavin claimed that Dublin had failed to perform in last years AI final which tends to suggest that he believes Dublin are a much better side than Mayo if they manage to produce the performance he is looking for. Ominous.

And maybe there is something to this peaking business as well. Dublin took it easy in the league and didn't seem too bothered in the league final. Even in the kildare game there wasn't much intensity as they had the game won with the early goals. They then stepped up the intensity and keep ball tactics in the quarter and semi. As you say they have 2 top performers in now that weren't there last year and they seem to be in prime condition. On top of that Gavin is openly challenging them on last years performance. Everything seems to point to a Dublin win. Ominous indeed !

It was hilarious the hill not recognising St. Dermo

I see you got banned from the Kerry forum. Wonder how long it'll be before your banned here too

Not that it matters but I'm not sure what ur talking about. There is a Mayo4Sam14 here, maybe you're confusing us but either I don't know what the Kerry forum even is

Was whoever it was banned for suggesting the hill can't recognise its favourite player? Or maybe the Kerry lads didn't recognise Donaghy?

Well thats me and tbh i didnt realise there a was a kerry forum on here either

Probably because he was wearing the number 12

Ah yeah, number 12 is a great player in fairness. All the biys on da Hill know dah

This thread has descended into a farce, snide comments from heffo, expected better from you heffo to be honest, Indiana accusing Mayo4Sam about something he never did - how do I know, it was me, carry on regardless. I also can't post on reservoir dubs, or stolen sheep. My comments on mayogaablog (The rare times I do comment end up in moderation). So this is my only outlet anymore 😊.

Rant over. I hope the game is better than the debate on this thread.

By the way Indiana, it was quite bemusing given the fact that all the crying of injustice about the suspension dished out to Connolly that ye didn't know if it was him or not. You are allowed carry on with your high horse attitude though as Dublin are going to be extremely difficult to beat.

Connolly has work that a lot in the past hasn't he?? I'm only guessing. I don't know what the people on hill 16 think or don't think

[heffo]

How many more interviews is philly going to do about his hard upbringing? Its got some mileage the last couple of years, admired him at first , now its just cringe.

He's going to do one more than big Aido launching the latest Rose Gold Mickey Coors watch on Insta

All these Dublin lads talkin about a hard upbringing-try being dropped off in a bog in east tyrone, gettin ate out of it with pishmers every summer for  a lough of shillins, or a half hour bone-shaker ride in the back of a pickup to eglish, to pick strawberrys and pull weeds all week for enough money for a polly pineapple.  No wonder we're half mad.

Very surprised Connolly saw so little time v Tyrone, especially the way the match went. Nothing to do with his card situation in my view. It's either that Gavin is planning for him to only be a bit-part player at most in the final, or he's trying to make Mayo think that way.

Be interesting to see what Mayo do with Keegan in a Connolly-free Dublin. I know he didn't have the greatest two games v Kerry, but his illness/injury worries should be well cleared up in the next 3 weeks.

Fitzsimons will mark Moran. He always marks the opposition's main scoring threat. Philly on COC.

At least the Dublin defence will get plenty of practice going up against an attack of Flynn, Connolly, McMenamon, Brogan, O'Gara, Costelloe in the AvB games which will prepare them better than Tyrone etc did before the final

what did you do to the professional fans on  mayogaablog ?

[Mayo4Sam]

I actually think Durcan could be put on Connolly, he did well on him last year when Keegan got his black.

I'm half expecting Keegan to be on Con O'Callaghan. He's an outstanding footballer but he is a weak shoulder when you're running at Dublin. I think it was Colm Cavanagh who brushed him aside on Sunday, image Keegan running at him. Add that to the abuse Keegan will give him when Dublin have the ball, it'll be something completely new for him and interesting to see how he stands up to it. If he comes out well out of it then it would go a long way towards a Dublin win, if he shies away then it'll put Mayo on the front foot

Cooper did well on Moran the last two years as well!
