All-Ireland Final, September 18th, 2016 - Dublin v Mayo

[moysider]

Heading East now, the more I think about this game the more I'm thinking we're just not there yet, especially in terms of the quality of our forwards. Listening to Jack O'connor on TG4 last night didn't help, he had the most miserable puss on him, like he was bitter Kerry weren't there. He alluded a couple of times to the hammerings they dished out to us in the 00's and wrote us off completely based on our form to date which is fair enough but ffs cheer up a bit

Even the mention of O Connor is enough to fill me with dread. I remember convincing myself we would win in build up to 2004.

Last few years I've avoided the media build-up as much as possible but still not enjoying this at all. Awful feeling of inevitability about it all.

I'm hearing 2 changes from selected team.

If Keane is starting hawk the tickets and make a quick buck instead of going in Moy. I hear Michelle Mull is looking for a ticket..

Won't ask about names or positions, but is it anything significant or out of left field?

I presume Barrett and B Moran will start and who will drop out should be interesting.

Weather didn't seem to adversely affect the Dubs last year in the final, that was a bad day as well.

Wouldn t say it's out of left field.

They narrowly won a game in which they were comfortably the better team.
I'd say it affected them quite badly.

Did Mayo enlist Jim McGuinness or not?

It doesn't come across too well on the management team when they are enlisting outside help before a final if it is the case.

My own belief is they did enlist him but did not expect the story to get out and are now frantically denying it.

I wonder how much McGuinness earned out of it.

According to Willies blog this morning and the man himself he used the term bullsh#t. re Mcgs involvement.

No less a man than David Brady says it didn't happen.
That's as credible a source as it gets.
By the way, are the Mayo players still wearing the ear-pieces during training?

Aye, and listening to Daniel O'Donnell too I'm told

[Syferus]

Back to the real stuff. Dublin by however much they want to win by.

Not sure about Barrett BUT B Moran must start and not as a sweeper in front of the FB line either.  Other end of the field and have a right cut at the Dub FB line, might seem like a bog basic tactic but I do think there is some merit in it for tomorrow.
