Lads if City or Liverpool went down to 10 against that team they’d have at the very least got a draw or pushed on and won. Not ruthless enough.

Should have managed the game a lot better both on and off the field and would have got at least a draw but for that error deep into injury time.

In May I watched Man City with 10 men lose to Brighton, Chelsea lost 5-2 at home West Brom in April.

Bad loss and could prove to be a very costly one at that. United was on course for win and likely a comfortable win then came the turning point and Wan Bissaka can have no complaints about the red. With 10 men for a hour United could and should have earned a point though what Lingard was at in the 5th minute of injury time only he knows.

Brolly best ignored. It seems like every text he receives is perfectly appropriate for that situation. What about the hundreds of texts and whatnot he gets that are wide of the mark. A great man for hindsight is Joe.

Absolutely. He's a desperate attention seeker. Was finally kicked off RTE for a good reason.

Downfall in AI finals for Mayo under Horan was conceding goals.

2012 v Donegal 2-11 to 0-13 (13 scores each)
2013 v Dublin 2-12 to 1-14 (14 scores v 15)
2020 v Dublin 2-14 to 0-15 (16 scores v 15)

If Tyrone are to win the final i feel they'll have to score at least 2 goals, easier said that done especially if Mayo defend as well as they did against Dublin.

Same downfall for Mayo under Horan in AI final and Tyrone got both goals easier than expected.

Well done Tyrone enjoy the celebrations.

Decent return for Ronaldo, a comfortable win and 2 goals. Bruno made sure he wasn't to be overshadowed by his Portuguese team mate by scoring the goal of the game.

Oisin Mullen starting instead Enda Hession no real surprise there. Any late change for Tyrone?

Even though it's 20 years on and I've seen a load of these programmes I still found parts of it very hard to watch, especially anything involving the firefighters as we now know what they were walking into. That and the noise as the "jumpers" hit the building.

My cousin got married in New Jersey on September 9th. In attendance was 5 firefighters that was friends of the groom. All died two days later in the world trade center and their families didn't even have their bodies to bury.

I went back to last year at same time 921 cases , 11 times as many cases with 90% vaccinated.

If we had the current more transmissible variant last year we'd have a lot more sick people in hospital and a lot more deaths than we currently do due to no vacancies.

In hospital 362 (15 more than a week ago)
in ICU 59 ( 1 fewer than last Sunday)

will mayo have oisin mullin back?

James Horan in the recent off the ball interview hasn't ruled out Mullin or E McLaughlin from featuring in this final.

James is smart enough to lead the media into this story. It keeps the opposition guessing, it gives the media a story to write and it take the focus away from the rest of the squad.

James Horan usually goes the opposite way with the media. Rules a player out from returning only for him to play come match day.

The smile he was giving in the interview leads me to believe that both will feature. If they do return the 4 weeks preparation for this final has turned out to be a big bonus for Mayo.

That's a tough defeat to take on the chin. Serious effort put, players put their bodies on the line with a number of superb blocks and great performance by 19 year old Gavin Bazunu.
