Tipp v Mayo AI semi final (still doesnt sound right!!)

[muppet]

If I were neutral I would be roaring for Tipp today and I intend to do that if they get to the final.

But I am hoping that the normal order of all things football is restored in this match and then overturned in the next one. 

C'mon Mayo!

[highorlow]

Ah no. The neutrals are back on our side again this year.

Tipp won't know what will have hit them today in the 1st twenty mins. We will do it by 10-15 points.

[Syferus]

Mayo to win, then lose. As God intended.

Think if Mayo are to win the final they need to be winning this by 5+ points. They will get no credit for inching past Tipperary, a decent victory should fill their sails with enough wind to seriously attack the final. So Mayo by 6 for me.

Such nonsense. What did we beat you lot by? Was it impressive? Did we 'up it' for the next game? Every Mayo supporter will take a one point win tomorrow. hope we're not put through the ringer like that but we're all around long enough to know that this could get hairy tomorrow for a while. However we win, I'll take it.

'Fraid I can't agree with you there.
Supposing it was Dublin or Kerry that were facing Tipp today, do you think the team or the supporters would be happy with a one point shitty win?
Especially after a string of most unpressive narrow wins over DIV 2 or lower teams.
You could put Tyrone or Monaghan or Cork there instead; any side with serious aspirations and name me one team that would wouldn't want to pysch up for the final.

I think Mayo have two big plusses going for them this year and if only the team could keep their minds on the task in front of them for the whole match instead of going off the boil at times, this could easily be the year we win the Sam Maguire.
DIarmuid is turning into the best forward I have seen in a Mayo jersey and Regan, Harrison and Durcan are shaping up very well into. The likes of Loftus and the baby bear are hanging about also so competition for places will be very sharp indeed.
But apart from the overall strengthening of the squad, Rochford/McEntee showed a sense of tactical awareness the last day that I never sawe in any Mayo manager before.
For all of this to mean anything on the third Sunday in September, Mayo will need to win in style today. The actual margin won't be as important as the manner in which Mayo go about achieving it.

I fear for Tipp here today.

Expect an eight point win for Mayo

Regan can't beat Andy for a start and he should be at the prime of his career now - that says it all for me. While Diarmuid has risen as a footballer Cillian has regressed. Half a dozen of one and six of the other is the reality of it all Lar.

[inexile]

Really looking forward to this. Whoever wins this, I'd love to see them go on and win Sam.

[Beffs]

Three Tipp wides in just 5 minutes. They may regret those yet.

[Zulu]

Very good start by Tipp.

[manfromdelmonte]

Ref has bought the Mayo appeals

[Cunny Funt]

Massive blow to Tipp that black a harsh call.

[mrdeeds]

The sooner the black card is gone the better.

[manfromdelmonte]

Great stuff Tipp

O'Connors got that black card by talking to the ref

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

A Meath man atoning for the '96 Mayo guilt to the severe disadvantage of their opposition once again. Black card my arse.

[manfromdelmonte]

An O'Connor buys another free
