Last time GB won an open in the Tennis was 1936.
Andy Murray won the open in 2012.

On Sept 23rd 1936 the AI was contested between Mayo and Laois.
A certain Henry Kenny (RIP) played that day.

Mayo came out as winners of the AI, their first.

September 27th 1936 you mean? Spanish Civil War had just broken out. I remember it well

Anyone know where I could watch the semi final vs Dublin? Wouldn't mind having another look at it before the final, but don't have it recorded and can't find it online?

Some nice defending from them, which they'll need to do on Sunday:

They might learn from what Dublin did in the league against them, although Donegal have come a long way since then:

Just listened to it on the RTE website

He is just babbling on about Mayo's tendency to foul to disrupt the flow of the game, he seemed half asleep, and uninterested in talking about anything else regarding the game.

MayoForSam · 20-09-2012 5:04pm

I think someone should shove a brolly up Joe's chimney to stop this sort of trolling and trying to influence the referee.

Donegal are no angels in the 'tactical fouling' department either, what did he expect Mayo to do when Dublin were coming at them, hand out bouquets of flowers?

Before it was "Mayo are too weak and easy going"..
Now it's the opposite. He's a poor Eamon Dunphy

Very Dangerous this nonsense both the comment regarding the cynical fouling and the referee being the most important person on the pitch being challenged by a "neutral" pundit over the next few days. Specifically regarding the multiple "half tackles" by a number of Donegal players any any one time not being called as fouls.
Mickie Harte referenced this during the cork Donegal game

Were the team around Castlebar today? Nearly sure I saw AoS, if it was him then he seemed fine.
That's the only reassurance I can give.. Hopefully it's a non story.

Donegal are one of the masters when they need to be at tactical fouling and Brolly knows this. Kevin McStay should come out and critize the donegal hand passing and their pack tackling when the main player stands legally in front of the player in possession but the 2nd and 3rd cause incidental contact and the player in possession is foulded but usually gets a free against him as he cant play the ball. Some refs give frees but most dont

The other thing I notice with them is I feel about 90% of the time they foul the ball when hand passing.

That said I also think they can be lethal if they are given any space to play or get their tails up. Mayo cant afford to vanish like they did against Dublin as the Donegal forwards I think are supberb and will get Goals.

Anyway good luck to Mayo. As I said before I think this is the best Mayo side in 20-25 years and if Mayo get a good start they can win this match. Think this could be a great game.

Darragh O Se said on the last word that there was a rumour doing the rounds to that effect. I've seen or heard nothing about it anywhere else

Defiler Of The Coffin · 21-09-2012 1:40pm

Well one benefit of being in the final is the rich ream of print that gets produced about the county. Here's an article (don't mind the title) about Mayo's best players down throughout the years - Mayo's nearly men

A Waterford man here hoping that Mayo can do it on Sunday. Hope the players can pull a massive performance out of the bag for 70 minutes. To mangle another metaphor its time for the bridesmaids to put on the white dress for a change. Gwan Mayo!
