I for one who is a proud Galway man wish Mayo all the best in the All Ireland Semi Final. I believe Mayo can win and with defenders like Higgins, Keegan, Boyle, Durken (play him in the half back line with Boyle and Keegan) all them lads are well capable of kicking good points and do what Mayo do best....all out pure attacking non stop total football. Just go for it Mayo, take the game to the Dubs, you might not have won 4 in a row but psychologically the Dubs hate and FEAR playing against this particular group of Mayo footballers. Go for it Mayo and for once just do it!!!! All the Best Mayo. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2193 - 10/08/2019 07:04:40 2223267 Link
It's hard to see past this exceptional Dublin team but saying that , Mayo are an extraordinary team them selves so I won't be surprised if they win. Anyway looking forward to a great day of football. Best of luck to all 4 teams today and safe travels on what is a horrible day outside. Themall1916 (Kerry) - Posts: 98 - 10/08/2019 09:48:27 2223280 Link

Good post but the "FEAR" bit.. nah Dublin have won the last 13-14 head to heads versus Mayo Dublin greatly respect Mayo But would you "FEAR" a team you best 14 times in a row Still though good post but less of the drama ;) jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 10/08/2019 10:10:30 2223288 Link
Replying To moc.dna: "Bernard Brogan must be gutted, to come back from serious injury putting in massive work & to have a fella named on the squad that didn't care a few weeks ago as he waited to head to Boston, an awful slap in the face as for Brogan." You play your best players at the end of the day. This isn't U10s. Bernard's a team player and will understand the selectors' decision. Having said that IMO Bernard should be on the bench. Class act.

Best of luck today Mayo in what hopefully will be an intriguing contest. Any word of a starting team at all? I suppose one can't compare this fixture to the Kerry offaly final of 1982 as this is a semi final, however for me it takes on the same mantle- mayo have the greatest chance in my opinion of what's left to dethrone the dubs and prevent the five in a row. I doubt Offaly were given much hope that day, but it's sport.....u just never know!! Gaillimh11 (Galway) - Posts: 16 - 10/08/2019 10:30:14 2223297 Link

Let's go Dublin!! We know how to beat Mayo...they also know how to beat us bar some awful luck. For this reason form goes out the window. Have butterflies already but think we will prevail by the minimum again. Hopefully. Maybe. Oh I dunno I'm all over the shop haha! Up the Dubs!!

I would feel seriously aggrieved if i was Bernard. Put his soul into getting back after the cructiate last year to be thrown into the wilderness at the expense of a man that clearly had Dublin as second choice this year as well as last year.

Ah don't be so aggressive out of that Dublin respect Mayo and rightly so, an excellent team. But fear them? I wouldn't think so but sure it wouldn't be the first outlandish claim aimed at them. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 10/08/2019 11:03:19 2223308 Link

Thankfully the weather forecast has been updated and the previous predictions which pointed to a downpour of biblical proportions look to have been proven wrong. Still a little rain around but nothing major. A special thanks to John Horan for sorting that out. Enjoy the game! jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 10/08/2019 11:14:46 2223312 Link

Hope this game isn't a damp squid, all the talk and opinion that Mayo are the team to shake up Dublin, talk like this going back even to last year. If Dublin tank Mayo it will seriously damage the GAA. Dublin think they get a hard time now about inequality of funding and so on, if they hand their Sam Maguire contenders a complete spanking it might lead to two Dublin teams or probably the most likely scenario it will lead to actual action on the funding issue.

Yeah that's a rare one. Brogan was more impressive in 10 minutes than Connolly was for most of the game in Omagh too. Very harsh on him.
