if mayo press tyrone's kickouts, morgan will crumble. he was a shambles today.
Will hardly be a if, Mayo will press the Tyrone kickouts. If Tyrone management don't come up with a solution it will be the losing of this final for them.

Drop O'Shea,? No way, he tailor made for the Tyrone Midfield especially the way Tyrone kicked long all day. Put him straight in at Midfield.

I said u man who started the Mayo v Kerry thread was going to look a real dick, if things went pear shaped, lol.

Mayo will be favourites imho. However the favourites lost both semi finals, who knows what way it will go.

Hmmm, but Tyrone knocked out the heretofore favourites so they'll probably be favourites for this game.

0-13 to 0-12 scoreline won't surprise me.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Best of luck to Tyrone. Being the team to actually lose to Mayo in an AI Final would be a terrible burden to bear.

Here, kid. Have you the EuroMillions numbers?

Wife due to give birth to a boy the week after the final. We still don't have a name.

Theres an opening there if anyone wants to be a hero on September 11th!

For the first time since 1951 Mayo will be favourites going into an AI final. They have a big chance this time around. For me it's about as 50/50 a game as any final in a long time, it's just too hard to call it.

Big opportunity for Mayo but also a big opportunity for Tyrone.  Fantastic to have a final without the dubs or kerry.  Donegal Mayo last one?

Tyrone and Mayo have met five times in the history of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, Mayo currently lead with four victories to Tyrone's one.

1989 - Mayo 0-12 Tyrone 1-6 (Semi Final)
2004 - Mayo 0-16 Tyrone 1-9 (Quarter Final)
2008 - Tyrone 0-13 Mayo 1-9 (Round 3)
2013 - Mayo 1-16 Tyrone 0-13 (Semi Final)
2016 - Mayo 0-13 Tyrone 0-12 (Quarter Final)

Not good reading for Tyrone and held to low scores in each game. History to repeat itself once more?

No, of course it's not good reading for Tyrone, but what possible bearing can that have in 2021?

And yes, I'm aware that League results are meaningless, when it comes to the Championship, so we need to prepare for the game of our lives in 2021, simple as that.

Tyrone's last few championship games v Kerry didn't make for great reading either. I don't think they'll get too worked up about the above results
That was never a square ball!!

No All Ireland winners on either team but Mayo carrying a hell of alot more baggage with regards to losing them.  Hopefully Tyrone will be able to take advantage somehow
