AIF 2021 -- Maigh Eo vs Tír Eoghain

[rrhf]

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.     

If I recall right AOS nearly always performed well against Tyrone while he's struggled to deliver any impact v Dublin.

Yes, he has no fear of Tyrone.

I watched back the 2016 game there yesterday, the first score of the game was a brilliant kick from himself from outside the 45 on the outside of the boot. Seemed fairly quiet after that. Last kick of the game he took a free kick and played an absolute hospital pass to Clarke, could've been a disaster!

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.

I'd agree with this

Great steak in that shop. Mighty spot.

Good spot all right. Many a night (and £) spent in it over the years. I'd link a pic but not sure how too.

that's class in fairness.

We can lose the run of ourselves up here with the best of them. Plus we get a head start on painting kerbs. It gets started in July, we just need to get rid of the blue!!

Ah it's a bit of craic. No harm in it. People who give out about that sort of stuff must have nothing but misery in their lives.
The Kerbstones is another story entirely though....

I was already sure in my own mind that they'd make but now afaic  they'll 100% be starting https://www.con-telegraph.ie/2021/09/06/mayo-duo-mullin-and-mclaughlin-in-contention-to-face-tyrone/?fbclid=IwAR01fmAIiFDGi2TqPi85J3_LvSyoT_yVQ8OSVfJDM-axNsjibtWz4dD74vs

See the Home and Away cast are behind the green and red of Mayo anyway.

Rewatching the 2013 semi final, half an hour in. By god my memory of us not being able to kick snow off a rope wasn't wrong at all! Best part was Freeman having a goal ruled out because the ref was pulling it back for a free. Then McLoughlin kicked the 13m, more less centre, wide!

Wait until you get to the penalty for Mayo. We never should have got that. It was outside the box for sure.

It seems to be Chris Barrett coming up with the big scores!
