Replying To jimbodub: "Yeah that is fair enough
Def have many excellent fans that deserve a win
But for me regardless if they were playing Dublin or not I'd shout for the other team
The diving incident and then claiming it wasn't a dive, and then Andy Moran backing up that nonsense...
Not for me and that sort of carry on will hopefully not be rewarded" Yeah down with that sort of thing. Just hope for some healthy eye gouging in the final and may the best team win.

I was sitting in my rocking chair a while ago contemplating the meaning of life, when I thought of another advantage the Dubs have over us, namely the weather. I was watching the weather forecast on RTE the other evening when this little girl came on, short sleeves showing off a tan like Antonio Banwhatsisname. I told you, says she, that we'd have sunshine. 25 Degrees in The Phoenix Park, says she, without batting an eyelid. I kid you not it had been raining in Mayo for 12 hours solid. We haven't seen the sun since last feckin May. It's the same on All Ireland day. We leave the house at half six in the morning, complete with raincoats, umbrellas, pull ups and waterproof sandwiches. It rains solid until about Frenchpark but by the time we reach Strokestown it's down to a steady drizzle. There's an odd break in the clouds at Longford and from Mullingar onwards it's clear blue skies and unbroken sunshine. Our lads don't know what hit them. They run on to the pitch with long shorts covering their pasty legs to be met with the sight of 15 feckin George O Connors in blue jerseys. They're five points down before they start. By the time the second wave of Dub supporters come in most of our lads are turning a scaldy coloured pink. Come to think of it we were blaming poor Enda and the lads for the lack of employment in Mayo. We blamed the s***e roads, the poor infrastructure and the non existent broadband when all along it was the feckin weather. I bet them Apple lads, when they heard about the lovely scenery in Mayo, came down for a sneak look. They'd have hightailed it back to Dublin fairly lively, saying if they wanted monsoons they'd have located in India. Remember the League game earlier in the year in Castlebar. A light shower, the locals called it, as the Dubs were frantically looking round for the Ark. Mind you a lot of them made do with the bar in An Sportlann, but we'll say no more. Steven was five minutes in the job, didn't know half the lads names, couldn't tell one O Shea from the other and still we nearly beat them. So I'm off to Knock, weather permitting, to light one of their very expensive candles in the hope that we get rain in Croker on the 18th. I'm not asking for much just the heavy downpours we're used to here. At this stage I'll take any advantage.

But I'm not sure weather that will make any impression on the obvious hunger that Mayo must have at this juncture, I wouldn't say it's their last chance saloon but it's a defeat they can ill afford, hard to keep lads under that pressure down so the Dubs will have to be at their best!

Look at the record of the last ten years between dublin and mayo.
Played 5 : 2 wins each and a draw and all the other games were very close.
Having said that, they say mayo dont fear dublin, i think there has to be some doubt in the mayo head regarding dublin.
They know we're playing well enough and they are certainly not. If they're not 100% on their best game they have no chance but they could well produce that type of performance as they have the personnel.

30% chance of rain. 19 degrees C.
In other words - Ireland.

Replying To yew_tree: "This time next week...will it be overjoyed emotion or devastation yet again? The build up begins now" I just hope you guys give us a game to watch and after that it's a bonus. Would like to see Moran and Higgins get All Ireland's - but they have to earn them.
