All Ireland Football Final 2017 Mayo V Dublin

[Syferus]

If Mayo don't win, the best possible result for the sport is Dublin flaking them. It would mean even the most cross-eyed observer couldn't ignore the imbalance Dublin have created if they win an AI by hammering every single team they faced.

Mayo getting hammered will mean they didn't turn up for the final or got their tactics badly wrong. Every observer including the ones cross-eyed will want to see a close competitive All Ireland final.

You could split us in 6 Syferus. Roscommon will still never beat us

A very low key build up so far. Heard some head case on MWR giving out that there's not enough flags or fanfare going on, he either has a very short memory or has gone insane. Was saying there's not enough song's, well I nominate this song as our anthem for the final.......

Tomás Ó Sé commented on the Sunday Game that our players were ravenous against Kerry. Well they'll have to play like starved, haven't eaten in months, raving lunatic animals on Sunday week to beat the Dubs, and I think they will. Fingers crossed.

There is no such thing as a low-key AI build up in Mayo. Every time supporters come here trying to potray it as such and come AI week the whole county is drooling at the mouth. Embrace it rather than seeing genuine excitement as a bad thing or a hinderance.

Can't stand the stiff upper lip shite - sport is an escape from real life, not a conduit for it.

Mayo flag up outside the house so?

[Rossfan]

No he has it up his behind as usual.

The quaility of your posts has really regressed since KMcS made you look foolish in July. Crisis of confidence?

[Rossfan]

What a nonsensical comment.
K McStay doesn't even know I exist but the team he manages made me very happy in July.

They might get close and competitive to an extent. For Mayo, the reality is, we've messed up better chances. Including last year. Even though we've put 3 good games together and have been arguably as good as we've been in those games as any since Horan took over. However, there is so much stacked against a Mayo win, you just have to despair. Our kickout strategy and execution is improving but Dublin's is better. Dublin keep possession better and rarely turn over  - teams are still guaranteed easy scores from our errors in possession. Likes of Fenton and Kilkenny can slow down and dictate things when needed - we can't. That's before you look at cavalry off the bench. There is a 5-10 point swing there.
I was optimistic about Kerry (not confident) and gave us a 50/50 chance  - all going well. which it didn't but we got there. I'm only hopeful here. Maybe 20/80 or even 10/90.

Fearonesque error there...

Maybe Del Amitri could pen one for yis with a similar theme to this one...

Had a good laugh at that one, how bad were Scotland in '98 to warrant such negativity in the run up to a world cup?

I always look forward to all Ireland final day but I really can't be bothered this year.  Hopefully it's not a sign of things to come.  Things have gone a bit stale with the Dubs and to a lesser extent mayo.

Same here. The excitement has gone out of it.
Don't know when I last watched a full Dublin game on TV apart from their 4 jousts with Mayowestros over the last 2 years.
Sad when I want a Rhubarb win to save football.
