Tyrone vs Mayo AISF Semi-Final - August 25th

[yellowcard]

Is there any point in Tyrone turning up??

Unfortunately little enough and will be a painful day for Tyrone. Again we will win by at least 7 or 8 and would not rule out another +10 point victory. Just home and even more convinced that we will win AI - absolutely ruthless performance. Only two regrets - one that it was not Kerry we were dishing out the pain to and the second that we allowed Donegal to psyche us out of an AI last September.

No more to be said on this game - will wait until we know who we are playing in the AI.

This has been and could be Mayos problem in the run up to big matches in Croke Park. Losing the run of themselves before a trophy is won. If Mayo are to fall flat on their face it could be due to an attitude like this.

The Monaghan game was Tyrone's third successive game in as many weekends, and sixth in seven, and it showed. The three-week gap to the Mayo game will do no harm at all.

James Horan and company won't have attitude like Mayo Mick or other Mayo supporters. Mayo should win this semi final pulling up Tyrone are lucky to have got this far.

Tyrone are now quite obviously the third best team in the country on the year, even accounting for losing to Donegal in the first round of Ulster. Very, very little luck involved in them finding themselves in the AISFs. This is their level, no more and no less.

[Syferus]

Dublin
Mayo
Kerry
Cork
Tyrone

is the order.

Kerry are too old and Cork too poorly coached - with too many holes from 2-9 - to be considered better teams than Tyrone in 2013. Just because they might have more potential if you're judging them in a vacuum doesn't make them better teams on the year.

Tyrone this year are one of Mickey's finest achievements as a manager. They have mined their potential to perfection this year.

With out hesitation KERRY!

Don't get too excited, they're not going to be there.

Dublin
Mayo
Kerry
Cork
Tyrone

is the order.

I would still have Donegal ahead of Tyrone they did beat them in the last three championship games.

Obviously they aren't. By that logic Wexford were the third best team in 2008 or Fermanagh in 2004. Tyrone have fallen over the line against three division three sides and that is not the form of top three side.

What final?

We have it all to do in the semi-final.

There are two rules now for Mayo supporters:

Rule 1) there will only be talk about the next game against Tyrone;
Rule 2) see rule 1;

Sure it's only game 5. Don't be getting ahead of yourself and calling it a semi-final or any of that crack. It's not on the script.

In fairness to James Horano he has built a bomb proof Mayo team.  They are driven by 63 years of failure culminating in todays power show versus Donegal. Not only do I see them beating Dublin in the final well, I think we would all love to see them hammering Kerry if the Kingdom can get there.  The next two months Mayo will be living the dream and as Tyrone supporters we wish them well.  Yes its a shame the way they treated Mortimer but just a few months on I dont think they are missing him, they are delivering some of the greatest performances ever seen in Croke Park.  Well done!

I as a tyrone fan have to totally agree with this. Mayo are a playing some excellent football this year. As much as I would love to see tyrone getting to the final I just dont think they will beat this mayo team. They have too much pace and too many good players on form at the present time for Tyrone to beat them. They have next to no injuries and many of the players are at the top of their games. Unless they implode (which under horan I cannot see) I can see them winning the All Ireland. PS This is not cutehoorism.
