How many more interviews is philly going to do about his hard upbringing? Its got some mileage the last couple of years, admired him at first , now its just cringe.

He's going to do one more than big Aido launching the latest Rose Gold Mickey Coors watch on Insta

All these Dublin lads talkin about a hard upbringing-try being dropped off in a bog in east tyrone, gettin ate out of it with pishmers every summer for  a lough of shillins, or a half hour bone-shaker ride in the back of a pickup to eglish, to pick strawberrys and pull weeds all week for enough money for a polly pineapple.  No wonder we're half mad.

Are Mayo going to start the rough stuff again before throw in?

Will Big Aido & Cillian be hanging around outside the Dublin dressing room looking to 'upskuttle' someone?

3 weeks to go and the inevitable snide condescending Heffo comments start. How's about we all agree you win the bitch comment competition and a bout of football discussion breaks out?

Wouldn't agree with those calling Kerry poor. Mayo are a serious team with plenty of experienced proven IC footballers and will challenge anyone, yet Kerry were very unlucky not to get two goals, and bring this to the wire. Moran, Geaney, O'Donoghue, Walsh, Crowley, Young, Donaghy and (probably) Morley, Griffin are quality IC players. Moran, Geaney and O'Donoghue would probably make an Irish team, Geaney would be the main forward. If they can bring through a few players from their recent successful minor teams they'll win senior championships pretty soon.

How could you leave possibly one of the best of them Paul Murphy out of that long list is beyond me.

[he should be training on his own away from the Dublin squad. I think that length of ban meant that he could have no involvement with the team, so could not train with them or play in A v B games.]

Technically Bannside, he should be training on his own away from the Dublin squad. I think that length of ban meant that he could have no involvement with the team, so could not train with them or play in A v B games. Could be wrong on that though.

why would he not be allowed to train with the county panel?  I can't find it anywhere in any GAA documentation that this is the case when a player receives a suspension. Dublin players are on record saying he's training with them.

Was reported at time of suspension Connolly was not to train or play with club or county. Not permitted to hurl either.

Banty heading home 4 counties interested,Derry,Fermanagh,Donegal,Antrim.

If he gets one of those jobs, I believe that would be his 4th county, level with Micko.

Kerry, Kildare, Laois, Micklow & Clare is 5.

O'Shea was not a complete failure at fb but he is not a natural defender. There's bound to be a big man in that team with can jump and follow a forward around the park. Aos let him go unmarked  on about 10 occasions in that game.

Mayo folk need to lose the snowflake attitude to criticism if they're to win an all Ireland. You can be sure that there's a very honest and fairly brutal appraisal of Kerry tactics in the kingdom tonight.

Agreed, it would seem that Rochford is attempting something similar to Cormac Mc Anallen's FB conversion in 2003, but that's a huge risk, they're very different players.

He didn't, and people aren't getting this. He wasn't employed to play a position. He was asked to mark a player.

I think in this sport we have a tendancy to reward longevity with unwarranted plaudits - Padraig Joyce was being lauded as the best forward Connacht had ever seen on his retirement, lest we forget.

Don't tell me. It's Frankie Dolan isn't it?

Wind your big neck the fúck in.

The point is its a very subjective accolade and despite Joyce never doing anything to separate himself from the many other great Connacht forwards he was lauded as the best when he retired, mainly off the back of his long career.

Cregger?

from my sums the average of the starting teams will be Mayo 27.9 and kerry 27.4.
(though swap anthony maher into midfield and the the ages are practically the same Mayo 27.9 and kerry 28)
is a six monthe per player gap any significance or are the averages  a sign of 2 teams in their prime

It's the key players in their 30s that have people worried about Mayo. It's not going to be Brendan Harrison or Paddy Durcan or even DOC on all known form that's going to win this game for Mayo.. it's the old stagers who've been punch drunk more often than not the past two years.

Tell us about your recent punch drunk experiences oh sage one.

Super win. Well done Roscommon.

Semi final half time in Ennis.

Roscommon 1-6 Kerry 1-5

Ross 1-12
Kerry 1-11
Sounds a cracking game. Ross keeper with big save when pass was on for sure finish.

Yoga pants. Biggest danger to male drivers.

Seems to be in a lot of places now unfortunately.

Rest in peace Tony. You were one hell of a hurler.

Just looking at it if our Championship was the same layout as the Kerry Model. Intermediate and Junior Championship would be of a crazy standard.

Can we play?

Brolly did not like the Andy Moran celebration after scoring his goal yesterday. He lifted his hand in celebration with a straight face.

Kinda sums up Mr. Brolly for me.
