The notion that Mayo would be 'undercooked' after defeating Tipp and Dublin battle hardened after the epic win over Kerry has been shown to be a myth. In fact, from Dublin's perspective perhaps the win over Kerry was seen as the bigger peak to climb and that Mayo would not be as challenging. The bookies odds for the two fixtures seemed to corroborate that. Perhaps the respective run-ups to the Final for both teams set the Dubs up for a fall. I don't want to use that detestable cliche "under the radar' but Mayo had developed a nice rhythm of winning and quietly timed their ultimate effort almost to perfection. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 27/09/2016 20:34:00 1919889 Link 0 |
The recovery should be interesting too with a monnth off to prepare for the Dubs firt time around, be interesting to see can Mayo win the recovery again, was that their first game against a Div 1 side? TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 27/09/2016 21:46:06 1919912 Link 0 |
From what I hear, Cillian O COnnor trained for the first time last night. NO news on any others. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 27/09/2016 22:09:06 1919931 Link 0 |
Cillian and Evan Regan trained over the weekend. Dillon was due to resume training tonight.

He was going through the return to play protocols AFAIK. Maybe he only did light training at the weekend.

Good to hear but doesn't the protocol regarding concussion stipulate a 3 week lay off?

don't see how mayo missed the boat or anything the last day,think it's nonsense when they were 3 points down so late on and managed to get a draw, dublin should have seen the game out, mayo for sam methinks!
