Anyone know if tickets with September 4th printed on them are definitely okay? I'd sleep a lot easier tonight known were 100% not gonna run into any issues on the day 😅

I really think we'll win this one. I think we'll win most kick outs and we'll edge the turnovers, and if that happens I don't see Tyrone creating enough chances to kick scores.

I think Mayos defence are far more comfortable on the ball and at driving the team forward. I think because of that Tyrone will be turned over in there own defense more often.

Anyway, Mayo For Sam!

Ahahaha class

[He wants to keep everybody guessing, including Dooher and Lohgan]

Oh, no it isn't! It's just James H playing his version of silly buggers, as Jack Charlton might put it. He wants to keep everybody guessing, including Dooher and Lohgan, until the last possible moment.
....

This amuses me, as if Messrs Dooher and Logan wouldn't be wise to Horan and his grey arts! 

You try to hide your confidence but its telling,  your ilk are in for some rude awakening sat evening

Sickening arrogance!

Absolutely

Its better than the shite that normally comes from supporters!! Big your team up, makes a dam bit of difference on here who wins

Exactly, all Ireland finals don't come around every day. Might as well enjoy it! Plenty of time for complaining and cynicism after if they lose. Who knows what way it will go, but we can enjoy the build up while we're still in it

[on the field both teams have no one who has won an all Ireland]

Parts of it I agree with but on the field both teams have no one who has won an all Ireland. Both teams know how to win tight games. Both teams have came out of semi finals where their opponents were deemed to lose the game rather than them win it.

Mayo have Keegan durcan O'Shea McLoughlin who have a lot of experience. Tyrone have Donnelly Harte hampsey McNamee. There are a fair few younger ones in both teams.

It is one of those games I wouldn't be surprised what happens in most cases. Definitely a great one for the neutral to look forward to.

Was thinking about this the other day. Would it be the first time since 2012? Is 2010 the only other time this century?

Erm....

2002 and 2003. How would you forget 2003 lol

That Kerry team in 2002, most had won it in 2000.

Can't recall any All Ireland in 2003.

2012 - Mayo - Donegal - no?

Ya 2012 would be the last time, they were asking if there was any *other* time this century

Another season ticket draw with no ticket, incredibly frustrating

I think they're could be a similar trend on Saturday. Poor first half from Mayo, Tyrone leave them in it at half time, Mayo kick on second half

It seems to be Chris Barrett coming up with the big scores!

Yeah he got us going that day, but once we got into our stride we won it comfortably enough from what i remember

32 mins: Tyrone 0-7 Mayo 0-3

38 mins: Tyrone 0-7 Mayo 1-7

It seems to be Chris Barrett coming up with the big scores!

Rewatching the 2013 semi final, half an hour in. By god my memory of us not being able to kick snow off a rope wasn't wrong at all! Best part was Freeman having a goal ruled out because the ref was pulling it back for a free. Then McLoughlin kicked the 13m, more less centre, wide!

I was already sure in my own mind that they'd make but now afaic  they'll 100% be starting https://www.con-telegraph.ie/2021/09/06/mayo-duo-mullin-and-mclaughlin-in-contention-to-face-tyrone/?fbclid=IwAR01fmAIiFDGi2TqPi85J3_LvSyoT_yVQ8OSVfJDM-axNsjibtWz4dD74vs

Perhaps the O Shea factor could bea feature. Mayo's captain and talisman has already had his annual stinker out of the way before the final.. Assuming he has got his head in the right place in the last couple of weeks, he is on his day a potential matchwinner for Mayo.  All the talk is that Mayo wont start him and watch how the game is going.  Big call to drop him when he could have a key role to play, and can finally get the monkey of his back in an all Ireland final. If Aidan O Shea plays he could well have a big influence on proceedings either in midfield, tracking Donnelly or indeed bolstering the inside threat of the Mayo ff line.  I have a half feeling he will be timed to come in when Mc Shane comes in.     

He'll definitely start, don't think there's any question there. We've lots of depth in terms of defensive cover, but we don't really have a nailed on full forward or centre half forward.

I'd say he'll start at 11 and spend most of the first half around midfield anyway.

I'd agree with this

I watched back the 2016 game there yesterday, the first score of the game was a brilliant kick from himself from outside the 45 on the outside of the boot. Seemed fairly quiet after that. Last kick of the game he took a free kick and played an absolute hospital pass to Clarke, could've been a disaster!
If I recall right AOS nearly always performed well against Tyrone while he's struggled to deliver any impact v Dublin.

I think id start him around the middle and then float him further forward later on depending on how the game is going

I see a good point made on the mayo blog comments

" 4/6 of the Tyrone backs scored from play. 3 in the 1st half alone. How did this happen? It stemmed from the total failure of the opposite Kerry players to track back. The 3 scores were very soft and uncontested. There is no way at all that the Mayo FF line or whomever is marking them will allow this to occur or repeat itself."

Does Mayo supporters see any possible way that Mayo could lose this All-Ireland final on Saturday?

Plenty, and as a Mayo supporter I'm well aware of all the bizarre ways to lose we've demonstrated over the years. But what's the point dwelling on it? For the next few days at least we still have a chance, so might as well enjoy it
