Mayo v Dublin - AISF - Saturday 5pm

[Mayo4Sam14]

A bit odd having Cooper on the bench. Guaranteed starter if fit, and makes no sense to waste a space in the 26 for him if injured. Smart money would be on him replacing Mike Darragh, with McCarthy going to midfield

Brogan, O'Carroll and O'Gara miss out on 26

Only other possible change is Philly in for either Byrne or Fitz.

Who starts full back?

[Farrandeelin]

Anyone have the Mayo 26?

Slingerman Drake Cafferkey Crowe McCormack Plunkett
Coen, Parsons, Murray, Treacy Boland Regan,
Diskin Andy and McLoughlin

Connolly saunters in 2/3 of the way through the season and takes someones jersey.  That approach never ends well.

Surprised Brogan didn't make it.

Aw you'd imagine whoever misses out on 26 would be raging. Connolly is a class footballer, but some of those Dublin lads must have been training all year and to see him just come back and get a jersey would annoy ya.

Dublin's bench doesn't seem to be as strong as recent years. I'd say Mayo will still need to be up by three points with ten minutes to go to have any chance. Their legs will give out in the end.

That is a serioursly impressive starting 15 and bench from the Dubs!

Indeed!

Die Einsatzgruppen!!

Looks like this is their 'final solution' for the upstart, underling culchies that have been a bit of a nuisance in the past.

You could well be right Moy but hopefully there is a bit of madness left in this Mayo team and we can go down fighting tomorrow!!

[Jayop]

Obviously fancy the dubs to win but reckon this could be another mayo cracker. Hopefully it's more mayo V Donegal than mayo V Kerry. Dublin have pretty much had a 3 week break compared to mayo one and that's the key here.

Would love mayo to do it but just can't see it.

Yeah.I have no doubt we will not f**k off easily.

It's a no brainer and unfortunately makes Dublin's ultimate achievement flawed, through no fault of their own.

It's shameful scheduling. I know everybody is all hyped up about this game because of recent history blah, blah blah. That's nice but the reality is that it is a load of bollocks. It is impossible for Dublin to lose this. If both teams went in in same conditions, Dublin would still win in all probability. Mayo would have a punchers chance though. Tomorrow Mayo have no chance.

[Jayop]

Ach i don't think it taints it myself. It's one thing in a five year championship winning campaign we're talking about. Unreal team.

Tbh home advantage taints it more than money and the likes of this for me every time.

It's Darren Gavin's jersey he's taken, so very wishful thinking to think anybody is upset (apart from Darren upset that he's not fit)

Out of the 11 subs, Jim has gone for a keeper, 4 covering the backs, 2 covering midfield/half forward and 4 covering the full forward line type positions.

Unfortunately for Brogan and O'Gara, Jim picked Andrews, Costello, Kev Mac, Paddy Small as inside forwards.
Nobody with a clue would think Connolly took Brogan's jersey.

[Farrandeelin]

Best of luck Mayo today. I hope the players do themselves justice and go and give it one hell of a shot and you never know what might happen then. Safe travels to all. Up Mayo.

Well exactly. We've haven't had a full back since 2015!

The corner backs will just be given men to pick up, regardless of whether those men play in the corner or at FF.

Any sign of team Maigh Eo?
