Would totally disagree from a nuetral point of view, great to see new sides coming to the fore. I feel it brings a freshness and excitment to the championship.

Yes great to see Roscommon in the Quarter final. Should they beat Mayo theu will deservedly take their place in the semi. A breath of fresh air just like Tipperary last year.

Cop on to yourself. Roscommon are the Connacht champions and well deserve to be there tomorrow. If they beat us tomorrow I'll shout for them in the semi final.

Christ, Tipp were only a warm up Game for Mayo last year. One of the poorest All Ireland semis in two decades.

This game has me nervous, truth be told. Rossies seem to have received very little genuine respect for dismantling Galway and Mayo are receiving a lot credit for sheer will and the expectation that the lads have form coming just around the corner. Going into the Cork game I felt that Cork were going to believe that Mayo could be taken and I expect our neighbours to come with the same belief. Mayo will definitely need to have reached that corner.

A warm up poor semi final what game were you watching? Mayo won by a flattering margin of 5 points and got two goals against the run of play and one of those goals was a fluke.

All Rossies these lads are for the taking, they're flaking as f, they will enormously vocal but when the pressure comes on,it's a different story "the horse can only go so long to the well"

In what regard was Conor O'Shea's goal a fluke? He turned on a ball and directed it past the keeper. That was his intention. He wasn't fully balanced when he made contact with the ball, but that just took some of the pace off the shot, so it went where he intended, just slower. Keeper still got nowhere near it. Throughout that game I never felt Mayo were going to lose, even though they were far from their best. Tipp's inexperience of that stage told against them. I don't know if this will be a factor today, but lack of genuine expectation can potentially masquerade for inexperience. Deep down a team has to believe they're good enough, something Mayo have had no difficulty with up to AI finals. That said they were only denied by 2 genuine fluke goals last year.

Mayo really have to tighten up in the full back line for the Kerry game. Especially after seeing Donaghy's first half performance.

Ros starting to struggle now after their fast start.

Mayo reeling them in and grinding them down.

Only one winner here.

Awful referring - Cillian O'Connor blocks the Rossie runner who throws him out of the way and free goes to Mayo!!!
