AIFSF Replay Mayo v Dublin, Sat 5th Sept. HQ.

[muppet]

The appeal failed.

My Dublin source told me that Cillian O'Connor chaired the meeting. O'Connor also refused leave to appeal to the DRA saying 'I am busy enough with playing and reffing on Saturday'.

In other news a GaaBoard poster from Dublin has just declared war on most of Ireland. In response, most of Ireland is said to be in stitches.

Will they go to the DRA?

I hope not, let's focus on Saturday now. Similar to keegan last year I'd imagine you would be mentally fatigued come game time.

1st post i read this morning. Classic

Technically the right decision on connolly but I can well understand the Dubs being annoyed at the inconsistency of Keane getting off a few weeks back.

Dublin team to be named tonight I presume?

[highorlow]

The only way the Dubs can win this match is doing away with their sweeper.

It wouldn't surprise me if Jim / the team decide this.

[JoG2]

Have to admit aidan O se will be crucial to mayo success, but surely he is entitled to more protection from the referees.  Dubs got away with blue murder last Sunday.

We've offered him the option of keeping a hair brush behind the goal so between plays he can style his fringe

the gloves are off in Mayo

We won't play a sweeper per se, but if Mayo play a sweeper then we'll have a spare man at the back and we'll leave him there, to effectively sweep! McCaffrey will still be given licence to roam - I noticed on the highlights that for our peno, the closest man to Flynn when he was fouled was Jack.

For Mayo kickouts, last week Andrews and the half forwards dropped back to bolster the midfield and encourage Mayo to go short. Presumably on the basis that in a battle of the skies Parsons and SOS would dominate Fenton and MDMA. Ironically Fenton won the only contested midfield battle between the 4, which was Hennelly's very first kick out I think, but fair to say the kickout favoured Fenton rather than him making a great catch. But Connolly missing weakens our aerial strength further and I would be surprised if Barry Moran doesn't start to further bolster Mayo in that department.

So I think we'll allow Mayo go short again, although presumably Mayo will be pushing up on Dublin kickouts and encouraging Cluxton to go long

If the bookies ran odds on who'd create the most scoring chances, I'd put a good few quid on Mayo. I'm hoping Dublin are in contention with 10 minutes to go, as no doubt the last 10 will be chaos again, but I do fear Mayo forwards will be more clinical from play this week and might have put it beyond us.

Maybe at the start of each half.

I can't understand why ye leave Bastick on the bench. He will start the next day ahead of MDMCA or Fenton?

It's already in the North Korean version.
The only mention of 'strike' being in reference to Cillian O'Connor's vicious attack on Connolly.
