AIF 2021 -- Maigh Eo vs Tír Eoghain

[RedHand88]

Jesus Christ. Might actually make a twitter account now if we were to win.

Despite all the press I've seen no mention of the real connection between the competing counties which involved a migration of Irish speaking families to the Ballycroy / Inishbiggle area in the 19th century sometime (I think).

From a quick google I couldn't find anything conclusive - I only heard it myself in this video where an elderly man mentions his family are from Tyrone and names other families that migrated West (link below) - Ó Domhnaill, Ó Cleirigh, Ó hEinrí.

Good luck to both teams from a very nervous Maigheoach!

Must read up on that, interesting, however those are Cenal Chonaill names

O'Donnell and O'Clery are definitely Tír Chonaill names.

I think the migration was mid 1600s with Cromwell tours

Was thinking Mayo might just do it this time, their performance against Dublin maybe slightly more impressive than Tyrone's against Kerry.

But then I saw David Brady's tweet and the quotes from Andy Moran. Yiz never learn do yiz?

Two former players say a few silly things and you tarnish a whole county with arrogance.

No matter what a county says before an All Ireland. It's still the same embarrassing feeling when you lose!

Winning margin 1-3 points seems like the best value 15/4 either team or 8/1 the draw

Two fivers on Diarmuid O'Connor for me, for a bit of fun

To score first point of game - 33/1
To get first yellow card of game - 20/1

Would call it confidence rather than arrogance. With kerry out of the way mayo will be strong favourites. Think kerry played their final the last day.

A hesitant vote to Mayo by a point. It should be a good game.

Feels like we are out numbered by Mayo supporters here.

[BennyCake]

Joe McQuillan as referee. Now Ger Canning on commentary. Tyrone winning will put the feckin' tin hat on it!

[Mayo4Sam14]

soon. 😅

[Cunny Funt]

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

Mayo have had the last 10 years experience of getting tickets. Plus they had extra weeks on Tyrone to forage!

[Milltown Row2]

Have went for the draw

[Schkite]

Morgan rattled already, not a good sign

[Aaron Boone]

Mayo an amazing start.  This looks real, winners waiting on the podium.

Two doctors running on for that tackle? They'll be busy today
