So the Dubs have already been making arrangements for Sam to be wheeled out after next weekend? Their own version of the 5 in-a-row t-shirts.... The Mayo lads will love this one, as if they need any more motivation! Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 25/09/2016 10:43:10 1918830 Link 0 |
Hardly the Dubs making plans, it's Irish Life is it not? Rumour has it that Jim will be playing Enda Kenny's pep talk to the Mayo team in the dressing room before the game. Now that's motivation for ye!

What's Philly going to tell Irish Life if Mayo refuse to oblige Joxer? There's just the slightest bit of presumptuousness about the whole arrangement. Chicken counting...

Definitely. If Mayo win on Saturday, it will because of this. Absolutely nothing to do with the players and how things work out on the day. Imagine it, 65 minutes on the clock and it's level. AOS suddenly remembers reading about this and bursts through to get a goal. Managers and training not required, just wave a few articles under the players noses before they run out to play. Easy.

Anyone from Mayo/Dublin finding the past week weird? yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 26/09/2016 14:46:34 1919284 Link 0 |
Again nothing to do with Dublin or Philly. As far as I know he doesn't work in the marketing department at Irish Life. Irish Life will have to do the explaining, not Dublin. Besides Philly has enough silverware and could probably bring along the league and Delaney cups and a few Celtic crosses. He has more silverware than Newbridge our Philly.

So long as he has to bring along his new mate Cillian to parade the cup Joxer... wouldn't want to disappoint the good folk at Irish Life!

It is a bit low-key alright. Managed to get a ticket secured yesterday which has built up the excitement for me personally. Think it will start kicking in from midweek in general but certainly less media discussion at this point. Am seeing a lot of pubs in Dublin advertising all sorts of temptations to get the punter to spend their Saturday in their establishment. Will be some sorry sights around Dublin Saturday evening regardless of who wins. Pace yerselves lads, pace yerselves. poguemahone (Dublin) - Posts: 365 - 26/09/2016 16:13:11 1919329 Link 1 |
It's an intriguing match looking at it from a nuetral point of view. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1351 - 26/09/2016 17:10:21 1919361 Link 0 |
If you say so buddy. I know better than to make any silly predictions about whose hands are going to be on the cup.

A stunning lack of confidence there Joxer or a dose of the yerras?

Dublin were bullied the last day is all I'm hearing , what players exactly were bullied? Can Mayo not just have been the better team on the day without someone or team being bullied? It seems if you lose or a team team plays better your bullied , Eoin Listen said Dublin bullied Kerry last year I don't remember any Kerry players getting bullied on the day they just didn't play well. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 27/09/2016 10:59:22 1919560 Link 0 |
Was in Westport at the weekend and was struck by the low-key nature of the build-up: if you didn't know there was a big match approaching, you'd have hardly guessed, other than for a couple of flags in shop windows etc. Most of the noise around was by a crew from Cavan Gaels down for a reunion!

Welcome to our world! Any time Mayo lose it's a bottling act, irrespective of the relative merits of them and their opponents or the circumstances of the game. Such is the depth of analysis of the social media commentariat these days.

Diarmuid Connolly was bullied by Lee Keegan the last day. The jersey was torn off Diarmuid Connolly and they both end up with yellow cards, it is absolutely crazy that Connolly should get the same sanction as Keegan, as it is blatantly clear that Keegan is the culprit. As Joe Brolly wrote on the Sunday Independent, Dublin should play Diarmuid Connolly at Full Forward and the umphires would bring Lee Keegans foul play to the referees attention. fainleog (Limerick) - Posts: 598 - 27/09/2016 11:48:24 1919590 Link 1 |
Connolly did his best to tear Keegans jersey but the Mayo jerseys are made from strong material. When that didn't work he punched Keegan in the face for a bit of diversion. I agree the two yellows were a disgrace though, Connolly should have got a red.

Playing Connolly too close to goal would make him less effective, cutting down the space for him to operate in. If he goes in there Keegan will be free to leave him and go on the odd raid of his own. Doubt JG would want to see that, so I'm sure the odd couple will be reunited on Saturday.

Llaw don't start now for every Dermo punch there's a Colm Boyle kick into John Small's stomach , let's not be hypercrites here both teams as bad as each other. So Dermo was bullied cause Keegan ripped his jersey ? If I'd Dermo's body id want my jersey ripped every game to show the women the gun show. Seriously Mayo were better and that's it no bleeding bullying at all. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 27/09/2016 13:22:33 1919628 Link 0 |
Absolutely, St. Dermo is only ever targeted by opposition players and is never the instigator. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKBtelSQ0JI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikAF0cBfcPs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYavk-rLsn4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o8kzJ0yLcWs Or so a succession of ex Dublin players in the meeja would have you believe...
