Did you actually just say that Reservoir Dubs has 'balanced views'?

That's much more incredible than what you posted from a Wille Joe jr.

Well in fairness a few even said if Galway were to win  a national title against the dubs it would be a hard pill for mayo to swallow.

The Willie Joe junior actually posted afterwards a big good luck to the rossies!!

RTE had a brief report on the 6 news earlier featuring interviews with the men who saw the line in the last Senior final played between Dublin and Galway.
As is RTE's wont there was not a whole lot about the actual upcoming match on Sunday but Brian Mullins did manage to keep an entirely straight face when putting forth the opinion that Galway were "slight favourites" based on Dublin not winning their past two matches, he should get to his nearest bookies pronto in that case, he'll be very pleasantly surprised!

Is it possible people dont realise how good galway are?

They're about nine points worse than Roscommon last I checked, Larrin.

Things change from year to year in the context of team development . Im sure youd be the first to point out Mayo are hardly going to be twenty one points better than Ros and that only took a week to change from a level game.

They are shaping well and I cant fathom this narrative some are saying as if its a negative to be improving their defensive structure to suit the modern game .

It will be a closer connacht final this year between yerselves and Galway imo.

Syfīn writing off Galway so get ye're money on them for Connacht.

You and Gay Sheeran were probably the most sour faced Roscommon men in the Wind Tunnel when we hammered them. Kevin Mc would be staying on for another few years, horrible!

Interesting article - forget the Galway / Dublin angle, its the €uro numbers that are quite staggering!

If you think 2 of Roscommons top supporters were unhappy at winning Connacht it just shows what a twisted crooked silly mind you have.
You really are a bad piece of work.

But do you not understand that this is a once in a lifetime Dublin team and we should all enjoy it? Its only begrudging if you think any other way.

All is well and good in the halls of Croke Park because the cash cow is successful. f**k everyone else.

Had a look over on resdubs there. There's nearly as much written about Mayo than Galway in the early posts.

We dont know. There's a danger they might have focused heavily on the league and that might catch up with them in the summer (like roscommon and monaghan recently). IMO they've a much better chance of beating dublin on sunday than they will have any time later this year. If we learned anything last sunday it was that dublin's 2nd string aren't as strong as we thought

Its mad farr, I often have a gander and it never disappoints in terms of Mayo obsession .

I agree we dont know, a lot of stuff is guessed by the masses and the so called experts . Summer football takes on a life of its own that is a trend over the years.  But how the likes of tomas o se and whelan etc can know exactly how things are in Mayo for example is mostly speculation . Watching a video of 2013 final a few days ago and the likes of spillane saying it would be a while before youd ever see a mayo team back challenging as Dublin celebrated on the pitch.

Galway are doing everything correct so far, its only weeks till the big clash and they have serious momentum and beat Mayo well too in their encounter in the league. They are far more aggressive ,determined and lads are becoming men . I think its an insult to Kevin Walshs intelligence to compare Galways div one run to Roscommons of two years ago. Hes not daft.
