I'd say Kerry 2-13 Mayo 1-10. Of course this is only my opinion and it's not because I don't think Mayo are capable. I think the Kerry defence will be better than most predict here. Kerry are five weeks better prepared physically and mentally than against cork and I believe their management targeted this game from the start of the championship. The weakness of Kerry is hard running direct through the middle. I think they would have worked on this to at least reduce by 50%. Alternatively, with Kerry's forwards, they can afford to play more defensive players whilst maintaining an affective attacking threat. In short, I think Kerry will get their scores easier than Mayo and in the end that will translate to a Kerry victory. Only an opinion, and I'll be delighted for my Mayo wife if I'm wrong.

I'd say the last time we had a big support in crokepark outside of a finalwould have been the semifinals against Dublin 2016 and Mayo 2017 first game, only about 500 turned up for the replay in that game.

It does look like we're going for pure speed and all out attack by the team that's been named so this should be a cracker for the neutral, it might not be great for us fans though. The forecast says it's going to be 26 degrees tomorrow and no rain so conditions will be muggy old shite I'd say. KingdomBoy1 (Kerry) - Posts: 14092 - 13/07/2019 09:19:20 2210211 Link 1 |

All the pressure is on Kerry in this game.... Mayo can afford to lose because one would expect them to beat Meath in Croke Park and beat Donegal in Castlebar but a Kerry defeat and then play a very good Donegal team in Croke Park and then a sticky stubborn Meath team in Navan could be a big ask. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2230 - 13/07/2019 11:50:15 2210238 Link 0 |
Poor Clare and Cork teams? 1 of them is in the Super 8's, unlike Galway, the other can feel very unlucky not to be there.

It's easy play well against bad teams as Cork did v Laois....and Clare v Meath again two middle of the road teams was always a 50/50 game neither team going anywhere.

Tricky enough affair this one for Kerry and Mayo bring their game it could be a long aul evening. Kerry are average enough when you put it upon to them and I have feeling Mayo will play rough house and bully them if let. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 13/07/2019 13:09:43 2210263 Link 0 |
What if they score 2 goals and zero points?

Why would you expect Mayo to beat Donegal?. That's a 50/50 game in my opinion. I do agree about Kerry needing to win more because i think Donegal will beat them. Dec82 (Clare) - Posts: 242 - 13/07/2019 18:40:12 2210306 Link 0 |
Likewise I'd expect Donegal to beat Kerry too. I think Castlebar venue would help Mayo sneek it v Donegal

Keep changing my mind on whether I think we're going to win or not. Can't wait for it. so many questions being asked of young players for both sides today reithi (Kerry) - Posts: 52 - 14/07/2019 13:06:39 2210657 Link 0 |
Rotten colour combinations on both teams. What's wrong with Kerry wearing all blue and Mayo all white as per their provincial colours. They could still have their own county colour trims. Onion Breath (Carlow) - Posts: 1412 - 14/07/2019 16:04:08 2210760 Link 0 |
