Replying To TheFlaker:  "People from outside Mayo are obsessed with Mayo. If they lose they are slated. If they win they are slated. It's so weird the amount of headspace they take up in the heads of so called neutrals. Even with a young squad and a new manager people are raging that they are in a semi final. Bizarre."
I think it is great that either Louth or Mayo will make it to an All Ireland Final.
But if as expected Kerry make the final, I honestly don't hold out much hope for either. No offence.
I just can't see either Louth or Mayo beating them.

But hopefully I am proved wrong.
It would be great for the GAA imo….

Replying To WanPintWin:  "Kerry vs Mayo couldn't happen, because that would have meant Dublin vs Louth, which can't happen."
Hard luck today.

Wonderful tribute to Paul Clancy before the game.
Fully deserved.

Replying To Beelzedub:  "Who would you like to see win between Kerry v Louth"
Well I wouldn't begrudge Louth an All Ireland. After today they showed some grit to win with 14 men for most of the match. By all accounts they've had 2 great years that will take a while to forget. It would be fantastic for the game. But in reality Kerry would win.

Dublin building up momentum in their home league ground isn't what other All Ireland contenders want to see. I said after the league that they couldn't be written off. There were signs of green shoots during the league of what they are looking to achieve.
Louth v Mayo will be a special occasion. Louth will understandably have the support of all neutrals. Mayo then back in the semi finals.

There's no offence. On paper Kerry the hot favourites and rightly so.

Mayo have been in 1/3 of all finals in the last 30 years..hardly a surprise if we get to another one. That said full respect to Louth who won't be easy beat. Up Mayo - pride of the West !

Replying To Onion_Sack:  "Just out of interest, what would be your issue with a Dublin Mayo final?"
Hatred of Mayo and Dublin. Mayo and Dublin have served up some of the most memorable finals this quarter century

At least we are still in with a shot at losing another All Ireland final not like Galway

A bit like Man United, Hated, Adored but never ignored.

And never once heard a Mayo manager whinge after a match.
