My initial assessment is as usual. A Mayo massacre. Dublin by 15 points plus. The grandfather is 89 and not a terror with computers. I asked for his assessment. He reckoned "Mayo should have folded up the tent years ago". Not sure what the hell hes means by that. I think he means the same as me, 15 or so.

Players win matches, Dublin have the best players in the country so Dublin win, football can be a simple aul game at times. I'll say Dublin by 5. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 16/09/2016 18:32:37 1915197 Link

By that reckoning Armagh must have their tent well folded by now as well and given away to anyone who wants it. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1904 - 16/09/2016 19:47:44 1915216 Link
I'd say Endas call to arms for Mayo might just sway it in their favour! Sure who wouldn't follow Braveheart Kenny into battle. Ho ho , yup outa that. Dubh_linn (Dublin) - Posts: 2312 - 16/09/2016 20:01:43 1915222 Link

Please, don't even joke about it. We're down here keeping a low profile, trying to be level headed, not getting carried away, knowing that everything will have to go our way for us to have a chance, and then along comes Enda........

Mayo by 2. Ignore the Armagh people what would they know about football. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 16/09/2016 21:34:54 1915241 Link
Dublin by at least 3 or 4, this Mayo just aren't good enough and I think they are past their best , sorry for the Mayo fans but I think the long drought will continue, and with Kerry and Tyrone on the way back it's going to be hard for anyone to break the Kerry,Dublin.Tyrone hold on Sam for a good while yet, hoping Donegal can build again playing proper football and challenge Tyrone for the Anglo Celt. Sam will be staying in Dublin. TirChonaillabu2 (Donegal) - Posts: 344 - 17/09/2016 00:20:25 1915271 Link

Replying To CroiGorm: "I cringed watching that." Actually I think its well known he is a avid mayo fan, wasn't his father a mayo player? Regardless of politics he is entitled to express his views. Leo Varadkar is constantly pictured in his dubs jersey and I remember him saying how he was a hill 16 man all through his youth, and Bertie was a very ardent fan of dubs, Its good that people in position of power are gaa people, it means we not forgotten about, plus they not just jumping on the bandwagon. I have no problems with them at all. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/09/2016 09:17:08 1915295 Link
I simply can't see a scenario where Mayo are NOT lifting Sam on Sunday afternoon, regardless of the formidable challenge in front of the, they have timed their run to perfection in my book and have the look of winners about them. Expect a major outpouring of emotion in the west come Sunday evening. brendtheredhand (Tyrone) - Posts: 10897 - 17/09/2016 09:39:38 1915298 Link

He played cricket in his youth and still is an ardent supporter. mod (Mayo) - Posts: 859 - 17/09/2016 10:30:45 1915309 Link

If Mayo lose tomorrow beating the Dubs next year or the year after won't get any easier. With the united nations virtually behind us the team won't lack for planning, but we'll need to have finally worked a September peak and if we have we'll win.

Replying To mod: "Leo on the Hill. You must be joking. He was an avid cricket fan. He played cricket in his youth and still is an ardent supporter." He may be a cricket fan too, naturally enough considering his ancestry it would be a shock if he wasn't, but 100% he was a hill 16 man in his youth, I met him once through my work, during lunch the subject turned to gaa between me and a co worker, low and behold Leo pipes up about his beloved dubs, and like yourself I was taken aback his knowledge of all things dubs football and his times on the hill. Also pics have appeared of him on the hill, now obviously he wont be on it on Sunday, but he is a well known Dublin supporter. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 17/09/2016 13:22:05 1915345 Link
