[joemamas]

when will Mayo team be announced

Early tomorrow evening according to @Mayogaa

Thanks will be getting on a plane at JFK at that time.

Safe home...I know a group of 6 lads and lassies on their way home from New Zealand as we speak. Love of you're county is a glorious thing.

Thanks all, four of us heading home on same flight, straight to Dublin. Eight time back to see Mayo in All-ireland final from NY. Will be very happy to change date of return ticket if we win.

Sidney, what about Boyle and Keegan in that halfback line of yours?

They aren't in it.

Really? Why?

[An Gaeilgoir]

Moran will lead the team around in the parade but wont start

This is not Horan's style! If Moran is dropped, Higgins will lead Mayo in the parade.

I guess you're right but I can't see Moran being dropped.

Cant see him been dropped either, Mayo's mission for the first 20 minutes will be to still be in the game, then try and impose their game on the Dubs.........Moran and Dillon's experience will be critical here........i expect Moran to be a different man on Sunday.....

Slightly off topic, but the week before an All-Ireland is something special,

Driving along in the car and out of nowhere i shout out "C'mon Mayo", the green and red of mayo constantly been hummed...
The promise of a million tickets last Monday, today i am down to mmm, ahh, he's let me down, any tickets to swap have only fuckin' Davin stand.......
Driving around our capital, meet another mayo car flagged up, the look at each other, the nod.......
The lad in the black 09 Audi that i meet every morning in Fairview, who started out last week, giving me a flash of the lights, we are now up to a flash of the lights, and fists out the window..........if we win i expect, us to stop in the middle of Fairview, put the hazards on and discuss the match....we might even make AA roadwatch......
Meeting GAA heads through work............"we are all rooting for ye", their eyes are saying, Poor Mayo b**tard, most likely end up getting beat again..............

Today is only Wednesday............By Saturday evening i will present my self to St. Mary's in Castlebar, having ate my tickets and several flags.....

They aren't in it.

Really? Why?

Because McCarthy and McCaffrey are better players?

[Sidney]

Who in the name of sweet baby Jesus would drop Caffreky for O'Carroll and Keegan and Boyle for O'Sullivian and McCarthy? I don't think many even believe those would even be positions of contention on a combined team.

Crazy stuff alright. Cafferkey, Boyle and Keegan are proven All-Ireland-winning players while O'Carroll, O'Sullivan and McCarthy are...oh wait, I may have got that the wrong way around.

Hardly.

But you re entitled to your opinion of course.

Ger Brennan is a 'proven All-Ireland-winning' player but you don't seem to give him the benefit of that argument.

Also, Boyle has an All-Ireland.

Ah yes the only thing that counts.

Means that likes of Eoghan O Gara is a better footballer than say likes of Kieran McDonald or Michael Meehan because he s an AI winner

You re either deliberately being a p***k or you haven t got a clue.

But I'm not comparing Eoghan O'Gara to Ciaran McDonald.

Peter Canavan was crap until 2003.

Disappointing to see that old anti-Northern bias coming out again.

Maurice Fitz was useless until 1997.

Anyways, sure Dublin have the better forwards.......despite needing to make numerous substitutions to get the forward line right.

No, but you re using the laziest arguement in gaelic football to back up your selection. 'They have the medal so they must be better'. Yawn.
