Replying To Beelzedub:  "Dubs won 6 in a row, and hold the longest unbeaten run in championship football history.
That'll do pig. That'll do.
All the best to Kerry catching up with that, rub of the green 2026 merchants."
Might have a chance if the move the semi finals and final to be played in Killarney!!

Wicklow's stunning performance a couple of weeks ago in the Tailteann cup final against a more historically successful team like that of Down senior footballers should be an example to us all hopefuls that any team is very beatable.

In my lifetime I have never experienced any team from the depts of div.4 when defeat was staring every player with every kick of a ball they took until the whistle blew for half time, everyone that is except Oisin McConville.

The very best of good luck to Andy Moran and his Mayo senior football squad tomorrow.

Why wouldnt it be? Ending a 75 year wait after losing all those finals? No romance in some people...

Replying To yew_tree:  "Well here we go again….another final. Nice buzz around the county this week but somewhat grounded all the same. Can we do it? Yes we can but match ups, kickouts, intensity and kicking is going to have to spot on. I also firmly believe a curve ball from management will be needed to stop this Kerry team…what that is I don't know. Traveling in anticipation and as always hope. Safe traveling to all supporters. See ye on the other side."
I see you on the Roscommon thread all the time. It's hard to believe after getting beaten by Roscommon in Castlebar that you've made it to a final but fair play to you. You've got better and better as the campaigns gone on. I think that's the difference between teams like Mayo and Roscommon. You have a great belief in your footballers. I sincerely hope you do get the win tomorrow. It's going to be a tough task against a very good Kerry team but regardless whether you win or lose you have to say it's been a great year for Mayo Football All the best.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "In fairness yewtree i dont see where mayo can make a game of it. Im looking forward to it and hope ye win but i just think kerry will have way way too much for ye all over the pitch frankly.

How do you think itll go?"
Look we are up against it and if Kerry were playing any other top team I'd be backing Kerry to win it….BUT it's sport and it's a final and anything can happen. We've all seen strange things happen in sport and it can be unpredictable and that's why we love it. Of sport when the way off the favs every time then nobody would watch it. We live in hope. Up Mayo !

Best of luck to Mayo tomorrow, it's going to be a big ask but hopefully they can cause a shock. Don't look at it as a free shot though because it's not , kobe won't be there next year and Kerry will be as strong as ever as well as the other contenders. The final to win is the one your in , it might be the only chance this team gets. My late mother was a proud Mayo woman who dearly wanted them to win an all ireland unfortunately she never seen it , I dearly hope tomorrow is the day ye finally climb the mountain.

Replying To Claretandblue:  "Great win tonight for Tubberclair and a huge boost for them in their first senior championship match in probably 20 years. Minus Matthew W but they have a great mixture of lots of 20-21 year olds alongside older, experienced players. Two more wins out of four matches should secure a quarter final spot. Moate began well but faded in second half out scored by 0-15 to 1-4 Tyrrellspass drew with Killucan which could be a useful point later in the year, a brilliant start for Ballinagore winning their opening intermediate championship match against Finea."
I was in kinnegad last night . Huge difference in standard in the two games. Just emphasises what a mess the county board have made of the championship when possibly Ballinagore could maje a quarter final .That bottom intermediate group is very like a mini junior championship, the favourites in it Rochfortbridge and Rosemount wouldn't get within 15 points of the third placed team in group A.

I think Kerry will be comfortable at half time up by 5/6 and home and dry with 15 min left. Kerry by 12

All the best tomorrow lads.
It's a tough ask to beat Kerry on All Ireland final day. This time last year I thought we were well set to really challenge them, but were very disappointing on the day.

I give ye a decent chance though, because you have players up front playing fearlessly. Kobe, Beirne and Ryan will go for two pointers and a goal if they're on. If ye can bang in a goal or two, and land 5 or 6 pointers then who knows!

One thing that stuck with me last year was the amount of Kerry fans who upped and left immediately after the final whistle. They'll have to send in the army to clear Croke Park if ye win I think! Jokes aside, I really hope ye do it. Ádh mór!

Unlucky to lose out - Tomas O Se (5 all stars)

Peter Canavan, Maurice Fitz, Micheal Donnelan were great players, but their body of work in the period wasnt very long.
Peter Canavan and Maurice Fitz would be on the team for 1990 to 2015 at their ease.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Few who would begrudge Mayo however as it stands nobody wants to be that team that finally loses All-Ireland final to Mayo, if it's Kerry under Jack O'Connor in charge with the Clifford's,O'Shea etc involved it will be some story to tell, stranger things has happened in sport."
It wouldn't be that strange. There seems to be some sort of short term memory loss about this Kerry team.

Donegal hammered them twice and both Tyrone and Dublin had them for taking and might have done with even one key decision going their way.

They might turn out to be as good as previous Kerry teams but they are not there yet.

No idea about sports psychology but dont see any reason Mayo can't win on Sunday. I think they will.

A Mayo win would be one of the greatest days in Irish sport and i find it hard to believe even some Kerry fans would begrudge their opponents the win.

Hopefully they give it a great shot and give it everything.

The reason we watch and love sport is because of it's unpredictability and thats why there is always belief.

Best of luck to Mayo Sunday

Replying To Commodore:  "1- Stephen Cluxton - The benchmark for keepers that followed.

2- Marc O' Se
3- Neil McGee
4- Lee Keegan

5- Colm Boyle - Warrior at wing back for that great Mayo team from 2011 - 2020
6- James McCarthy - Midfielder who reverted to No 6, replaced Cian O'Sullivan, who was a class act too.
7- Karl Lacey

8- Brian Fenton - Arguably the best midfield ever.
9- Aidan O'Shea - Often overlooked, but consistently played at the pinnacle of the game for 15 years and was key.

10- Colm "The Gooch" Cooper - Class player, he even racked up scores in the games lost to Tyrone in the 2000s.
11- Diarmuid connolly - Combination of pace, power and raw talent, brilliant player.
12- Michael Murphy - He was usually double marked for most of his prime years, beast of a player, unbelievable drive and energy,

13- Conor Mc manus - One of the best 3 forwards I have ever seen.
14- David Clifford - Is in the running to be the overall best player I have ever seen so far.
15- Peter Canavan - One of the best forwards I ever witnessed, even in his later years when his pace diminished, he was still so so dangerous."
Aidan Oshea has been a great servant to Mayo and doesnt deserve some of the stick he gets but he's not in the conversation for this team.
Sean Cavanagh is a cert IMO
