Got sorted too. Really looking forward to it. Despite not enjoying their fans in Limerick a few weeks ago, will be shouting for the neighbors.

The Donegal fans behind me in Castlebar were SIGNIFICANTLY more annoying than any Mayo people I could hear and I was shouting for Donegal >_<

Yeah there’s always a few clowns from every county at any match, we were just unfortunate to get stuck beside a gang of them in Limerick.

I haven't been to many GAA matches without someone closeby engaged in a running commentary.

Ah yeahs that to be expected. These clowns were more of the bad winners variety.

See footage there on Twitter of Christian Wade scoring a touchdown for Buffalo. Wasn’t the narrative here that he’d never get anywhere near a starting team?

Still preseason and he came on in the 4th quarter. There's still a good chance he won't make the 53 man roster and will be on the practice squad.

Long way to go for him yet. Jarryd Hayne made the 49ers roster a few years ago but he was incredible in the preseason.

Then fumbled his first real touch of the ball and was essentially never seen again.

Wade will end up on the practice squad more than likely. Highly doubt he makes the roster.

‘The 4th quarter of preseason is for future insurance salesmen’

However he’s done absolutely everything he could there. Definitely given himself a chance to make it past the next cuts.

There's no rounds of cuts anymore. Just 90 -> 53 after the last preseason game. So Wade should be around for three more weeks of potential snaps.

Like Hayne the biggest opportunity for Wade might come on special teams.

Ah that’s good. Worst case scenario he will definitely be on the practice squad. He’d be a free practice squad player so unless his personality is a problem I don’t see how he doesn’t end up there at least.

There's the footage. One possession and a 65 yard score, can't do much more. Still a long way to go but fair play to him.

There's a funny moment in that clip, after all the high-fiving his teammates have to remind him to get off the pitch.

Incredible. Far from an expert on American Football but didn’t think he had a prayer of making it tbh. Long way to go as you say but hopefully he continues to progress, be good craic to watch.

Actually thrice

2013, 2016 replay and 2017 they lost by a point each time. Also drew in 2016 as you say, and also in 2015 semi.

I do think this week may be the time Dublin finally win relatively comfortably however. Mayo's conversion rate is still extremely poor for a top side and the one week break will be very hard to navigate given the intensity displayed last week.

I think Mayo have declined a bit from 2013-2017 aswell. Tom parsons and Jason Doherty have been crucial players in the rivalry who won't be available saturday either. It appears Dublin will have a fully fit and fresh starting 15

As expected I'm afraid

What an outfit

Not a hope Kerry or Tyrone will come within 10 points of them.

Best team of all time
