I was sitting in 203/202 during the donegal/dublin match and the noise from a hill full of dubs was hugely tangible, leading to me being unable to think. This advantage can be used against opposing free takers or opposing goalies, and is! Was glad to see so many Mayoees in the hill the last day, and hope to see the same again. 308 this time, lucky again

Dead leg i believe... He was imperious last year and in the under 21 championship this year. He's been a pale shadow of himself post injury. Heard Eugene McGee mention on the Last Word that the forecast for next Saturday is for a dry day.He reckoned we should all head up to Knock for a novena.It was only a tad tongue in cheek but there is a hint of truth in the assertion that more inclement conditions will be advantageous to our cause.He all but implied it was our only hope,tad OTT. Both the O Shea's need to have the game of their lives for us to win next Saturday.

Coupled with our lack of goal chances. I wouldn't count Durcans as a goal chance despite him seemingly going for one and Andy's was a half chance. I'm not to bothered by the forecast, I've watched the game back a few times now and a dry day will suit Andy and Aidan a lot more. If we can get the same ball into them as the last day and it sticks, then we should get more goal chances. We need one if not two goals the next day if dry... 18 to 20 points will probably needed to win it and 2 goals gets you a long way there. Can't see there being any changes myself.

It is more at home in the culture of 1980's English soccer than GAA - and Croke Park despite being handed to Dublin by the GAA as their de facto 'home ground' is not their home ground. It is a national stadium - all parts of it.https://www.livegaelic.com/features/hill-16-dublin-quantifying-unfair-advantage/

tacofries wrote: » haha fair enough. I did say it could be mad but just think his not hitting the heights that he could be. Once we don't let Dublin get too far ahead the first half is basically pointless. All it does is run down the energy of our best players!
tacofries wrote: » This could be utterly stupid but I think it would be better keeping Aidan off till the second half. He hasn't hit full form all season but by being on the sideline for 35 minutes he will be able to see better how the game is going and make a plan of he can be of more of an influence. Not too mention he should be that bit more hungry as well. Realistically no matter what the scoreline is, the first half is irrelevant for Dublin. It is the last 35 mins that we need to excel. Really think that Aidan would do wonders if he came on then. It would just drive us home until the ref blows the final whistle.

tacofries wrote: » Been one of 'Mayo's best players' and 'not hitting full form' are totally unrelated! If he has more to give, then he has more to give regardless of how he compares to other players. Really just think that once the scoreline is near level, the game is solely won in the last 35 minutes.
Over half the tickets the clubs are due to receive are terrace tickets, for either Hill 16 or the adjacent Nally Terrace.
