[mannix]

A couple of thousand dub fans at most. I think mayo are not far behind Dublin in the quality stakes and expect a close game.
Mayo 2 10

[sans pessimism]

Mayo wil do well to stick with Dublin. Dublin are the all Ireland champions. Kerry beat them last wek i believe and Mayo could be in for a hiding i believe

Anything else you believe?

i tink it could be more then 10 points difference. dublin are very good and have a good manager and supporters

Supporters make a big difference in the League!

I think that they do

Benny welcome, I am very confident that your posts will improve.

Please no one rise to Mayo Mick's bait, you're only going to attract more badly disguised trolls to the forum.

What are you on about Syferus? I was pretty accurate in my forecast last week and expect to be this week also. Im pretty positive about Mayo's future based on my  knowledge of what is happening. As I said on anothe post I expect us to win an AI in the next couple of years and possibly dominate for a few years after that. As regards Sunday we should win with some ease - think Dublin have a bit of work to do based on how they looked last Saturday

There's no shame in having faith in your countymen.
Don't mind him Mick.

Hardly a revelation to determine Dublin would badly miss their two best forwards. Especially when last year we only played with 3 forwards who's job it was to score. The Brogans took 2/3rds of all shots taken by Dublin forwards in the championship last year.

I think Paul Brogan is unlikely to start due to injury, they're probably waiting to see how Flynn is after his Sigerson match midweek. Brogan wasn't particulalry impressive v Kerry, although Flynn did nothing when he came on either.

Id expect Mayo to pip this contest.................................... Morph oGara starts again  , Paddy Andrews must be bewildered, not a chance either a brogan or b brogan will get a run out at this stage

Mayo by 2

[heffo]

The team named won't start. We could be in trouble here, especially if Mick knows what he's talking about!!

[Keane]

If the Dublin team named above plays then I'd fancy Mayo to have a few points to spare on them. That Dublin team would be no better than average at Championship time, while Mayo have not a million miles away from their championship team on the go at the moment and seem to be moving well to boot.

Mayo team supposed to be named after training tonight. Imagine it'll be jigged around a bit from last week to have Higgins marking McManamon or something.

Would a blow-in be allowed access to your clique?

I just noticed that the throw-in is earlier than usual for a Saturday evening.  6.30pm
