PTH2009 I'm personally going to anoint you an honorary Mayo man for your noted faith in the green and red year on year.

I sincerely hope the Deise can get over the line in the near future and acquire hold of Liam.

Jesus, you're awful uppity. It's not that you aren't clear it's that it's a gormless post of no real value and it's hard to really analyse it much further to drive the discussion forward.

Your determination is that teams who aren't in the final, and who got beaten by Cork and Cavan would be better equipped to beat Dublin than the team who is in the final.

Bang of "if my aunt had balls" off your posts.

Sorry, us mere mortals of other inferior counties , our opinion doesn’t count. You and your turning upto finals where Dublin have only won coincidentally , that gives you precedence against any other opinion.

Don’t forget to get onto the rugby thread next week to talk about the upcoming World Cup after you lift Sam tomorrow “mayte”.

Go away out of that, Donegal couldn't put away Cavan .They would want to of won the Ulster final by 10+ points to compete against Dublin.
Kerry bet by Cork marginly would want to be winning Munster by double figures also to even contemplate competing against Dublin.
The only team capable of beating Dublin is an all star best of the rest team that put in a years team building and training at Croker. Then we'd have a game.
Pie in the sky I know but wouldn't be a bad charity game possibly.

That’s a great idea actually, fully serious.

After Dublin win tomorrow they should play that game, and that will finally bring the hammer down on whether Dublin issue really needs addressed.

A Dublin win lower than 4 points is no good for anyone.

Maybe Connolly and McCaffrey could play for the all stars.

Funny/scary thing is....the best of the rest are probably the other 15 lads on the Dublin Panel

I think so too. The additions and subtractions of both will just swing it.

The country kind of needs it anyway.

I think he likes to provoke!

On other hand, he was admirer of the tyrant Castro, so maybe ....

Anyway, I know one former Dublin player of past ten years who certainly doesn't share that view.

tis getting to the stage where there should be 5 teams in all ireland football championship.... one team made up of the whole of munster... same with connacht ulster and leinster outside dublin and obviously dublin themselvves... might be some way competitive...

this evenings game depends on Dublin.. do they let mayo keep within a score or 2 of them and win it with a couple of scores in last fewe mins.. and have everyone talking bout another Mayo hard luck story... or do they blow them out of the water like last years semi final...

whichever it will b a dublin victory.. its upto them how much it will be by...

What age is that lad?? Completely childish, bitter, arrogant and completely informative.

Anyway, like plenty of neutrals I’d love to see Mayo somehow come out on top and they have given Dublin plenty of tight games in recent times but I just can’t see them winning.

Kick outs will be a crucial part of the game. Need to be as quick as they can Mayo and not let Dublin get set in their positions.
Need to be clinical in front of goal. No short balls into Cluxtons hands.
Limit rock to 4/6 scorable frees.

Other than Mayo winning somehow, I wouldn’t mind Dublin hammering them too. Just to see the uproar it causes. Would it bring about change quicker?! It nearly like the golf distance debate at this stage. Just too far along in the process of Dublins dominance to stop or halt it for years to come

Unfortunately, this is a common viewpoint amongst many within Dublin GAA, including many supporters. A real victim complex and actually quite nasty to anyone who doesn't bow down before them. Pointing out advantages they have had will result in huge levels of abuse coming your way. Ask anyone in the media about it, dare to raise the issue and you get lambasted.

A quick trawl through Twitter gives a good indication of the lovely support the Dubs have. Don't dare question the huge advantages or you're in for a tirade of personal abuse.

Mayo are a honest, hard working group of players with a fraction of the resources of Dublin yet they go toe to toe with them most times. They're a fantastic football county and fanatical support.

Ah lads, fellas cribbing abput pundits speaking in cliches yet complain when one speaks his mind. Don't agree with Hickey but like his honesty

Anyone who thinks that all Mayo supporters and players are one thing, and that all Dublin players and supporters are another is stuck in nursery school mentality.

There are dislikeable elements among both!

the advantages thing annoys me.... as they have always always had the advantages they have... its only in last few years people are complaining bout it...

and i also think there is alot of truth in what Hickey says in that article...

Mayo are defintiely a great county considering how big and rural it is.. the way it is affected by mass emigration etc... like my own county Kerry... but the fact of the matter is they have bottled it against dublin... cillian o connor will not be remembered for all time scoring records.. it will b the missed free in 16... i bet ya if peter canavan was taking that free it would have went over... thats the difference

Is this All Ireland worth watching today? Is it an easy 6 in a row for Dublin? Dublins to lose more than Mayos to win. I be thinking.

I'll watch cos I cant not watch the All Irleand final but I've never had as little interest in any game ever. Yes, its definitely 6 in a row, if Mayo win it will be one of the greatest shocks in the history of sport for me. But they're there so they would always give themselves a chance, who knows.

Oisin McConville is a very entertaining guy. You should listen to his interview at a library in Carlow (on youtube) about how bad his gambling addiction got. Crazy altogether.

Cluedo Monopoly · 19-12-2020 4:51pm

Do not write Mayo off. Dublin doing the 5 was historic and they are the best team we gacr ever seen. But one team will have much more hunger today and anything can happen on a cold day in December on a relatively mucky pitch. Dublin will eventually get beaten, why not today. As I said before, I fully expect a sending off or two today. The question is who...

generalgerry · 19-12-2020 5:06pm

I'd just like to wish the best of luck to the RTE Player today

I dont think it's that people are writing them off. I just think nobody is expecting them to win. Whereas in other years, the expectation was there. Dublin are just too far ahead of the field to get complacent or anything.

Maybe that is me writing Mayo off, I dunno, but it's not meant to come across that way.
