One of the local papers had the 5 previous championship results between Mayo and Tyrone. One thing that stood out is Tyrone have never scored more than 13 points in those games. They got that in the 2008 win and the loss in 2013.

Extra time if needed this weekend. If it's still level replay on Sunday 19th

Is CoC being parachuted into the team unfit to make an appearance in the last few minutes if Mayo are up just so he can get his hands on a medal? No way he could be back from an achilles Tendon in 2 and a half months.

I'm only guessing but that would be incredible from the management to use a bench space like that. No player in the country probably deserves a medal more but when you have only 11 subs and a really good chance of using a lot of them if it goes to extra time.

Surely this has to be nonsense.

Can't see him being on the bench at all. He was still in a cast and crutches up to a few weeks ago. Even if he's back walking now, there would be several months of physio and rehab before you could go back playing.

Way over the top optimism from rte commentary. That was a complete fluke of an OG. It's a decent result but the performance was poor apart from goalkeeper and some last ditch defending.

Commentary saying that goal is just what we deserved. Not sure about that but we'll take it

Perhaps the O Shea factor could bea feature. Mayo's captain and talisman has already had his annual stinker out of the way before the final.. Assuming he has got his head in the right place in the last couple of weeks, he is on his day a potential matchwinner for Mayo.  All the talk is that Mayo wont start him and watch how the game is going.  Big call to drop him when he could have a key role to play, and can finally get the monkey of his back in an all Ireland final. If Aidan O Shea plays he could well have a big influence on proceedings either in midfield, tracking Donnelly or indeed bolstering the inside threat of the Mayo ff line.  I have a half feeling he will be timed to come in when Mc Shane comes in.     

He'll definitely start, don't think there's any question there. We've lots of depth in terms of defensive cover, but we don't really have a nailed on full forward or centre half forward.

I'd say he'll start at 11 and spend most of the first half around midfield anyway.

Its on Brolly's twitter feed if anyone cares to look for a laugh

Christ on a bike. That's unbelievable. Playing up the Kerry connections before a potential final against the Kingdom. And his poor Kerry girlfriend not knowing who to support in the final! Funny how it was published the day after the final, but was obviously finalised before the Tyrone game. Is this attitude the norm in Mayo?

What attitude?

Doing the whole "up for the match" style piece, bigging up family links with the opposition County, before Kerry had even got to the final! If she was from Limerick or Donegal would he have said it?

that whole piece was done months ago. It's recency is down to the fact that Mayo are in the final and it was part of a promo for a company that released it as part of an 10th anniversary press release at the end of July.
Good chance this was all done long before the Connacht Final and only getting published now in that paper. Its been regurgitated a few times now by the same publishing stable. Slow news days etc, but the printers getting value for money from the same story.

Can never understand the rage people have on the rare occasion this lad's photo is in a paper. If we makes a few extra euro's off getting his photo taken, good luck to him. He'll be getting loads of abuse from certain quarters no matter what he does.

Months ago my bollix

Google it yourself if you like. It's there from the end of July, likely an embargo release on it anyway to coincide with the anniversary for the company being promoted. That's how these things work.

He's quoted talking about a match against either Kerry or Tyrone. Would take some balls to be talking about that before a connacht final  ;D

The interview was obviously done a day or 2 after the Dublin game and saved for a Sunday paper. Don't think it will make a blind bit of difference myself, but he's probably making a rod for his back if the result doesn't work out.

Apparently he really put down Kildare in a podcast shortly after the Kerry defeat. Not sure what exactly he said, but the Newstalk guys were incredulous and said Kildare couldnt possibly keep him on.

Again not sure what he said, and the NT guys can be known for hyperbole, but Ger Gilroy said - people told me what he said was bad, but I thought it couldn't be that bad. Then I when I heard it was way worse!

Jack's post match interviews this year where all about Jack and what a great job Jack is doing.

They were talking about Peter Keane being under pressure and Jack basically said he'd love to manage Kerry again and compared it to the Man Utd job. Couldn't really stay on in Kildare after that.

Mullins (if fit) to take on Donnelly?

I'd say Mullin on McKenna. Keegan is made for Donnelly as he will drift outfield at times.

Will McShane start? It's probably easier to deal with him from the start when all defenders are fresh.

From a Mayo point of view, I'd be worried Conroy and O'Donoghue could get bottled up in the Tyrone defence. However Stephen O'Brien did cause some trouble running at Tyrone and Conroy is probably a better version of O'Brien. Gavin White also did well carrying the ball at pace and we've 3 or 4 players made for that. We have got caught out previously against defensive sides, committing too many forward, bringing the ball into traffic and being caught on the break.

We should have the edge in midfield, but then again so did Kerry. Hennelly and Morgan have a very mixed record with free kicks. It could simply come down to that in the end.

It was 5 points to 1-3 in extra time despite Tyrone being full of running and Kerry players cramping up all over. Tyrone may well win next weekend, but it won't be down to superior fitness.

Fair play Shane Duffy
#13
It's probably just Clifford's tall, stocky build that means he struggles to last the pace in games. He just can't cover the same kilometeres as a small wirey forward.
#14
O'Hora will pick up McCurry I'd say as he's the one Tyrone forward guaranteed to stay inside. Could also pick up McShane if he starts. Maybe Keegan on Donnelly and Durcan on McKenna or vice versa.

You don't need legislation, you can scan vaccination certs as quickly as you can scan tickets, a double scan would slow things down but not so much. Set up a booth well away from the ticket stiles where people with paper certs and excuses can come along and get something done.
It would require restricting to over 12s. Perhaps the government could agree to a small family zone for player's families etc where this could be relaxed.
Make clear that anyone producing fraudulent documents would be banned from all GAA premises for life.

Unvaccinated minors can still attend with adults.
