Or will Dublin John spare them for the final? KY4SAM2015 (Kerry) - Posts: 898 - 08/08/2019 15:00:25 2222707 Link

Really playing devil's advocate here. But wouldn't it just be peak Mayo to finally find a way to beat the Dubs after all these years, but then to go and lose the final against Kerry/Tyrone?!? Lockjaw (Donegal) - Posts: 9136 - 08/08/2019 16:19:56 2222735 Link

But if that happens I'm going to reconsider. Either that or God is a Galway man. Dessie_Cross (Armagh) - Posts: 142 - 08/08/2019 17:06:02 2222746 Link

There's no curse, all in the head and usually in the heads of the excuse brigade! Galway hurlers were told for years that they were cursed! Thankfully the 1980 team proved the naysayers wrong! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1801 - 08/08/2019 17:24:30 2222749 Link

I've been thinking the same thing!!!! lol. what could be equally as bad is if Dublin pips them again and go on to win the final at a cantor. a short note on the game. it's a hard one to call but logic tells you Dublin all the same. Dublin will be well-rested after their game/training session/ light evening entertainment last week. I really don't think tiredness will be an issue with Mayo. they'll be resting all week and taking it handy physically. at this stage of the championship, mayo are well battle-hardened whereas Dublin haven't been tested all year!!!! (out from their own training sessions) so it'll be interesting. we've often seen games like this going to the team that had to fight more during the year theweanling (Cavan) - Posts: 414 - 08/08/2019 17:29:06 2222752 Link
Replying To Joxer: "On a given day with 15v15 that all means jack squat. Many thought the same when facing Donegal, an exceptional Donegal team, in 14. At the end of the day this Mayo team, although lacking consistency, still contains top notch footballers and all-stars all over the pitch. That and the fact that they have as much experience as this Dublin team in playing at Croker to a packed house at the business end, means that they have to be respected. A couple of misfiring forwards, a few full back line defensive lapses and the scales will tip. Mayo have the players to do the damage. Dublin can show complacency. Big games required of our big name players. I'm sure Jim has a plan and I'm sure the lads will perform but it should be a cracking contest." They don't have the most important experience of them all, winning an All Ireland, not to mention 4 of them in a row! Gavin doesn't do complacency, give us a break! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1801 - 08/08/2019 17:31:41 2222755 Link

Replying To neverright: "Have you lost your marbles - 'God a Galway man'. Have a lie down in a dark room." It was Roscommon who were the gods in Connacht this year, beating both Mayo & Galway! baire (Galway) - Posts: 1801 - 08/08/2019 18:38:53 2222771 Link

Should have read * can't * show complacency. But yeah apart from 2014 Gavin's teams haven't shown any. Joxer (Dublin) - Posts: 4700 - 08/08/2019 18:51:05 2222774 Link

Thankfully the 1980 team proved the naysayers wrong!" Curse is bull alright...and it's not unusual for a sports team with a long loosing streak to be associated with a curse, Clare Hurlers, Boston red sox etc... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11231 - 08/08/2019 18:51:32 2222775 Link
Who knows how Saturday night will go. Our 9th championship game in 2019 after playing in two continents, spending three currencies. Sure we'll give it a go anyways! GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7345 - 08/08/2019 18:59:45 2222781 Link

Mayo are probably skys No 1 team for viewership along with Donegal and Kerry. Dubs are big on a national level but are quite small on the international scale . Emigration left is roots.

Can see 2 O Sheas starting mid-field and then maybe Ruane in for Seamie at half time. In a few games against Dublin, the O Sheas have been on top in first half or at least breaking even but then run out of steam and Ruane is the perfect lad to come on and add energy and direct running. Ruane and Seamie i dont think have the fitness to last a full game. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 601 - 08/08/2019 20:45:34 2222813 Link
