Cluiche ceannais na sraithe: Corcaigh v Maigh Eo

[Farrandeelin]

Christ, I was at the Knockmore v Crossmolina match today, and if it wasn't depressing enough some fella (didn't know him) starts criticising Mayo, 'they're useless, poor against Dublin, Monaghan should have won' etc. He couldn't understand how they actually won against Kerry, Derry, Tyrone or Cork. He won't be going because Cork will win by 10 points he reckons...

What does everyone else think? I think Mayo will give it a right good go on Sunday.

Cork will be deserved favourites but I'd be disappointed if we're not there or thereabouts going into the last 10. It would be great to win because winning in Croke Park would do a lot to erase any damage done by the Meath game last year.

Starting to look like volcanic ash is going to keep me out of the country for this one. I've never spent so much time looking at weather forecasts hoping for a south-westerly wind to kick in and blow the shit away.

Good news on O'Shea though.

The southwesterlies are supposed to kick in on Friday.

My flight from Leeds is lunchtime on Saturday! Come on southwesterlies...

Hopefully no injuries in club games today.

I can see why you re hoping for that. Right now we re having lovely weather. As soon as those south-westerlies arrive its going to be back to the usual rain shit.

Sounds like a fairly positive man . I hope he doesnt get near the mayo players as he'll be giving us a chance against ye.

There's plenty like him out there believe me. I d say he s kinda typical.
  I ve only come across one person so far actually going to the game and nobody that thinks we can win. I happen to think we will.

Setanta Oz showing delayed coverage of the game at 4:45am 

Will be a late night!!

Can ya take another look there buc. It's 4.45 on the Tuesday morning according to their website.

I sent a very contrary email to the f***rs the other day and will be cancelling my subscription to them.

Looks like there won't be anywhere to watch the game in Sydney at all, f**k it anyway

Ara feck, thats a disaster! I was sure they had it down for the Monday morning when I looked last week. That means sitting up on Sunday nite to hear the scores, then getting up at 430 on Tuesday to watch the game before work... Why? The bloody French league gets higher priority

Every parish has one!   
Mayo are deservingly in the NFL Final.   Regarding the Dublin game,  they shot so many wides that they lost the game but the better football team on the day lost that Sunday.

Mayo  to win a National trophy by beating Cork by 3 or 4

Does anyone know how easy or difficult it is going to be to get tickets down there on Sunday? Heading down with a few mates and we never got tickets from any of our clubs, ticketmaster seems to be out and we wanted tickets beside each other. They'd hardly be expecting more than 40k for the game would they so you'd expect there to be plenty of tickets around, just don't wanna be running round Dublin all afternoon or queueing for ages for tickets.

mayo1955 should have a couple to spare as his son and ex-girlfriend seem to have lost interest.

[Jinxy]

The ex-girlfriend has lost interest alright.   

[rosnarun]

jaysus lads 5 days to go and not a decent row here yet enen amongst ourselves.

I believe the team will be
K omalley
L omalley        BJP         D vaughan
P gardiner     T howley   K Mcloughlin
PArsons S ose
Andy A dillion A kilcoyne
E varley B moran A osé

Hard to see us losing

[Jinxy]

Do we even have any Cork posters?

Reillers considers himself something of a GAA ecumenist but we will manage without him.

I'd say that'll be the team alright Ros. I think Liam O'Malley is living in Ballina so I think he should be dropped as well.

[Farrandeelin]

Gardiner also has to fight his way back into the team, leave C Barrett at no 5 for Sunday's match. Agree with the omission of McGarrity though around the middle. I don't know if Kilcoyne would have the necessary match practice to start on Sunday but he may well be sprung from the bench.

[Jinxy]

I can see Cork winning this fairly handy.
