My take is that Mayo fading is the inside out way of how they are likely to lose one.

Dublin are an ageing team who haven't had a proper championship match in a year, and won't be bringing on a group of crack commandos from the bench.  The Dub's most likely path to success is to blow Mayo out of sight early doors. And Con O'Callaghan is just the man to do that.

Mayo's bench will be half made up of strong runners and half made up of big game experience. Dublin shouldn't wish to find out how that goes,

If Mayo were 10 points up or 10 points down at HT you wouldn't say the game was over either way though

Unfortunately I expect Dublin to easily account for our bruised and battered warriors . Last 20 mins of this game I really fear could be wild scoring as our bucks completely run out of gas . 

We won the league , had a very enjoyable win down in Killarney, knocked Galway out . Overall it's been a 7/10 year for their first year as a management team . Croker the weekend is truly bonus territory imo , the one week turnaround will be the killer for a team that has not looked to have great stamina all year anyway ie last periods of several games from the league right through the championship.

Larry was Ruane dropped or injured?  Would think he would need to match up against Fenton in the middle for this one.

He was dropped, and rightly so, he's been poor for two years bar a couple of games

The only certainty is that Donegal are definitely relegated and Mayo are definitely in the League final. Galway look favourites to join Mayo in a League final but they will need a result against Kerry to guarantee that. I don't think Kerry will be too bothered about that match so I can see a Galway v Mayo League final which could be interesting. In the unlikely event that Monaghan and Armagh both win their final match, there could be a whole host of teams finishing on 6 points in which case scoring difference comes into play and it would be time to get the abacus out.

Donegal aren't definitely relegated. A draw for Armagh and a win for Donegal and Monaghan bring it to points difference. Can't see Donegal doing it, they were septic today

I see Breaffy is on fire

Last time Ballina hosted a Connacht senior final? The Connacht GAA seem to select only MacHale Park, Tuam Stadium, Hyde Park and Pearse stadium for the last number of previous finals.

Castlebar and Ballintubber use Castlebar. North Mayo teams use Ballina

Mayo seniors use to play NFL games in Ballina. Seems to be a venue that's fallen out of favour the last decade.

Mayo games have too big an attendance to be played anywhere other than Castlebar these days

Connacht Council decides venue for the FINAL, not Knockmore.

2022, 2007, 2004, 2000, 1999 & 1996 finals all finals with North Mayo teams having home advantage and all played in North Mayo. But you're probably right, it would have been Castlebar if it was open

Cómhgháirdeas na Piarsaigh.
Better team throughout but yet were hanging on last few minutes which is a worry looking ahead.
Some great scores by Carey and the Dalys were immense.
In bonus territory now so you'd never know from here.
Milltown there's a home/away arrangement in Connacht but Castlebar is getting a long overdue new pitch so their secondary County Ground came into play.
And of course the Connacht Council is run by a Mayoman for the benefit of Mayo.

Such sh!te. Knockmore's home Connacht game have always been in Ballina. Even if Castlebar was available this game would have been in Ballina

Some goal. You'd expect the keeper to do better

Pearson looks like the type of c**t you'd love to slap

Anyone listening to Aiden Henry needs their head examined

Galway look like a team in transition. 

It's Division one V Division two and there's a big gap in standard

Dirty dig on Swanny there

Hennelly would scare the shite out of you
