This is not the first time a ref was abused in Wicklow! A poor ref got locked in a car boot also. This was a junior game between Rathnew and Rathdrum about 25-ish years ago

60 years since an Ulster team retained the All-Ireland.
77 years since Roscommon retained an All Ireland. Way to long
5 of our 10 All Ireland were won in 6 glorious years.

Quote from: Fear ón Srath Bán on September 25, 2021, 09:56:56 PMTake care when predicting ten years in advance as the bookies don't fancy your chances of winning the next one, never mind any beyond that.Quote from: Rossfan on September 24, 2021, 01:06:05 PM
Dublin 5
Kerry 3
Meath 1
Cork 1
Rossfan thinks we're going to do a Donegal, with our single 2021 Championship -- don't think so bud!

Anyone able to post Brollys full analysis from the independent?
Didn't see it but my guess is:
RTE quiz joke
Loads of pints last night
Received a text msg from a former player
Aidan O'Shea is a joke
I'm so great
Everyone looking a selfie with me
The winners are great fellas and I knew they'd win
The losers are prima donnas and i knew they'd lose
The winning team all texted me afterwards
I'm so great
Quote from: Jayop on September 07, 2021, 11:49:14 PMOh, no it isn't! It's just James H playing his version of silly buggers, as Jack Charlton might put it. He wants to keep everybody guessing, including Dooher and Lohan, until the last possible moment.
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.

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

Mayo wont lose this one , mayo are the best team in Ireland at present and will win this comfortably by a bigger margin than anyone will predict .
Quote from: Jayop on August 30, 2021, 11:46:52 PMYou're not dreaming, I'm afraid.
Am I dreaming or did one of the commentators or pundits in the mayo Dublin game not say something about O'Shea having only scored a couple of points in all his games against Dublin??

There is a house in Ballsbridge of all places with Mayo bunting out 2 weeks in advance of the final. Mayo are losing the run of themselves, they think they have won it already.
That's Ballymun Kickhams fans getting ready for the Dublin Championship.
Ballymun is a long way from Balls bridge and hoodies and trainers are the formal dress attire. Hush puppies and designer gear are de either in the leafy suburb of Balls ridge.

Quote from: yellowcard on August 29, 2021, 10:28:11 AMO'Sé was pretty poor alright in the last game but I believe he was carrying a heel injury into the game so that may be the reason for him being below par.
If the 2 semi finals are anything to go by this will be a real war of attrition. Even though both sides had monumental victories against the odds in the semi final, both sides have a lot of improvement to make in terms of quality for the final. It is hard to quantify exactly the confidence boost that each side would have gained from their semi final victories but this shouldn't be underestimated.
Mayo will have to decide whether to start O'Se and I suspect that they probably will. He was poor the last day but he does bring an enormous level of physicality, he just probably shouldn't be deployed isolated close to goal. He is capable of winning a lot of ball around midfield against that Tyrone midfield and that is one area where Mayo would expect to come out on top.
Tyrone you would feel have to start Mc Shane based on yesterday's cameo, without him
they would not have won that match and he brings a ball winning capability inside that McCurry can't provide.
Both sides also now have to face a complete mindset change going into the final. Both will now see this as a great opportunity of lifting Sam and that brings a totally different pressure. Mayo possibly moreso as they are favourites going into a final for the first time in living memory.
The extra weeks will not really matter too much although a 4 week gap for Mayo is not ideal especially since I would imagine that a lot of their analysis and tactical work would have been predicated on them facing Kerry in the final.
Really difficult match to call but if the semi finals are anything to go by then it will be a bruising encounter as both sides play high octane physical games.
