Apparently the Hill is going to be open?

How in the name of mental gymnastics does it make sense to only allow 24k but open the hill?

Going to be impossible to get tickets as it is, might as well just split the 24k between Dubs and sponsors...

Yes the Hill will be open. €15 of a difference in ticket price.

35€ for seated tickets or another increase?

Jez, there is a lot getting carried away here. Many talking about Dublin's demise, Mayo quick re-emergence.

I've never heard so much written about a county like Mayo that has been propping up Dublin since 2013. Dublin must love this! Mayo ran Dublin close. Dublin hate playing Mayo. Dublin fear Mayo. Dublin respect Mayo. Only Mayo give Dublin a game. Blah de Blah! It has to be one of the most one sided rivalries where the perception is that both teams are equals.


It's amazing how rose tinted the glasses are for our own county giving us exaggerated hope. Mayo are moving in the right direction, but replacing the golden bunch of 2013-17 won't happen over night and maybe will never happen. Dublin still have the mainstay on the pitch to eek out another AI title. They are definitely still ahead of Mayo.

It's funny how perceptions are. We beat Galway by 6 points and the reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Dublin beat Kildare by 8 points and were never in any danger of losing yet they are stuttering and on the decline.

Dublin beat Kildare by 2-23 - 1-17 in 2017.

Dublin beat Kildare by 0-20 - 1-09 on Sunday

Was anybody saying Dublin were in decline in 2017?
Ah now come on - compare the Dublin squad of 2017 with the one of today.
The 2017 version was clearly superior. Look at the bounce they received from the guys they were able to spring from the bench.
Connolly, McMenamin, Brogan, Flynn, Scully & Costello were the 6 subs used in the final.
The current squad is clearly weaker.
That's not to say they aren't capable of winning the AI mind - but there isn't any doubt their squad is considerably weaker than it was.

The subs from that final in 2017 was:

Subs: B Brogan (0-05) for Rock (24, black card), S Carthy (0-01) for Scully (47), D Daly for McMahon (48), K McManamon for Andrews (51), D Byrne for O'Sullivan (58), B Howard (0-01) for Fenton (67).
Not that it matters all that much but these are not the subs from the 2017 final

Thirty one counties would love to see it but Dublin still look the most likely winner of this match.

I'm not so sure about that. I would say most neutrals want a good final more than anything and, whether we like it or not, Dublin v Kerry is a very natural final pairing. I think that's the final most people want to see and therefore they want Dublin and Kerry to win their semis.
I highly doubt too many neutrals will ever back Dublin.

you should meet some of my rossie friends . 100% wont mayo to lose every time .

Would Roscommon be the most anti-Mayo?
I would say Galway are the most anti-Mayo, Rossies and Sligo a close second behind them. Leitrim seem to save all their hate for the Rossies!! I would say out of the 5 Connacht counties Mayo would garner the least amount of support from the others when Connacht champions.
Rossies defo least appreciated supporters! As the big 2 Galway and Mayo have biggest on field rivalry.

I wouldn't be too worried about ticket prices, not as if they're going to give us any anyway

At the very least they could've added the hill on top of the 24,000. Ridiculous allocation for a semi final, surely it could be at least 50% capacity. Wembley was opened up fully during the euros and we are further ahead in vaccination now! If they actually used the proof of vaccination/negative covid test they could open up 75-100%

Just seen the ladies game was added as a double header. Being told that there's no extra attendance allowed. Leave aside the existing frustrating in relations to the men's SF, that's a serious disrespect to the women's game.

Dublin Ladies get to have a game at home, and if they win sort out their on field bearings for the final.

Meanwhile Cork and Meath get to go to Tuam.  ;D
