AIF 2021 -- Maigh Eo vs Tír Eoghain

[Halfquarter]

Cillian O'Connor and Aidan O'Shea are the Mayo heroes. Sure they may as well have carried the team past Dublin by themselves.

Sour grapes are best eaten in silence.

Tyrone are so comfortable on the ball. Is there a better support running team? Their conditioning is clearly superb. The Covid illness was not a factor. They got stronger in extra-time. Their one big worry is that they were destroyed on the kick out. Their saving grace was the turnover count.

I think you can see that the COVID hampered their preparations to the point that there were loads of technical mistakes, it was a serious shift put in, but they made loads of mistakes often of their own doing. The full forward line and midfield were at sea for long periods of the game, also due to Kerrys excellence in those areas, however I think if they stay COVID free they can only improve and would need to to match the peoples favourites Mayo.

[Taylor]

Mayo are favourites for the game which is very strange.

Can only assume its because of the weight of money that has been put on Mayo.

This is a straight up coin toss.

The chaotic element of the game which Kerry failed to cope with will not phase Mayo but then again have Mayo faced anything like the hunger we bring to the table.

Cant wait for it

You're not dreaming, I'm afraid.
I checked Willie Joe's results archive and it appears that Aido only scored a single point aginst the Dubs in finals and semis. That was in the 2015 replay.

Any white and red sheep yet?

Plenty with red markings on them all over Mayo.

Gonna be some rows in clubhouses up and down Mayo this week, especially the junior clubs. Giving more to senior clubs is crazy.

Never mind the junior clubs, 5,898 tickets not going to clubs in the county sounds like a lot!

[rrhf]

Sounds very high alright.

There would be war if this goes on Tyrone.

Hard to fathom for a player of his caliber having played in so many of those contests. I've seen that man in games I was at against Sligo, especially the Connacht final down in the Hyde a few years ago and he was unplayable.

How many frees did COC convert from AOS constantly being fouled when he was double and triple marked against Dublin over the years ?

Was that the year Sligo had a 19 year old gasún at FB?
