Dublin v Mayo 2020 All-Ireland final

[dublin7]

Mayo are going into this game battle hardened with nothing to lose and it's a free hit for them. Horan has plenty of experience as he has been here before while It's Dessie Farrell's 1st final and the dubs even by there standards have strolled into the final without being tested.

While I think the dubs will win I don't think they'll stroll it like people are predicting. If Mayo can start well and get an early lead I think they'll have a great chance.

All of the above might be true, but at the end of the day Dublin will win pulling up.

Apologies if covered already ...any reason for the game being on Saturday at half 5 instead of Sunday?

Despite the difference in money and sponsorship between the two teams. One who has reached the promised land recently and the other who has had a few chances in the last decade or so of finally getting their hands on the holy grail, but not sealing the deal. Hard to believe it is something they have not done since the '50's! All the same Waterford have a great chance this weekend!

So the Dublin lads can have a good lie in and to make it as awkward as possible for the Rhubarbs.

I think it starts at 5 pm on Saturday, wouldn't want you to miss the first few Dublin goals !

I'd be just in time for the gallant fight back against the AIG blue Dubs franchise

Dublin by a massive margin . in fairness to the players of Dublin I pity what they are going to have to listen to if they do annihilate  us which I do expect them to do.  Football is obviously not an exact science but Fenton against our midfield and con o callaghan against our FB line , holy God it's scary thinking about it . Keegan is playing rubbish and I just dont see what people are raving about as if chris barrett is safe as houses , hes not , well past it . Mullen is a great prospect but again his man marking is poor . Clarkes kickouts , I have this awful thought of us conceding lots of goals early and Clarke losing the plot completely kicking balls into Dublin attackers chest .

16 plus in favour of Dublin,  you heard it here first .

Larry. . . Yea but tell us what you really think

Sorry but you're not the first. It's going to be competitive for most of the first half and once the Dubs get a few points up and then the first goal goes in an it will suddenly dawn on the Mayo players that there's no way of getting back into it and it'll be steady procession towards the inevitable Dublin win by whatever number takes their fancy.

Will we all give up predicting though if mayo went out and beat Dublin?
