Easy to get in to but the usual delays getting out of. Can't cut across right from O'Connell Street any more to clearys.. Keep going along quays after O'Connell St and turn left up the R802. Then take a left to clearys on Cathal Brugha St. €6 for day if you present match ticket. Can book online, I do jic. Axa policy holders 20% discount code AXA20.

The national media would be scurrying to rewrite Dublin v Kerry All Ireland final columns that have been is storage for months. And it would make the second game take on a whole new significance I've no idea if Galway could beat Kerry, I have been saying for months that Kerry are overrated, but Galway, and Mayo to a lesser extent, have yet to give a proper indication of their value

But what they have is a solid midfield and a top notch forward line. If Galway run at them and Comer can get room inside then they will score and hurt them. That said Galway full back line is leaky and could be at Roscommon level of beatings or worse. Rossies should have scored 3 goals in the first half of that final. Kerry wouldn't be a nice. As for us, well so far this year I've called out that Derry, Clare and Cork would cause us issues, all down the middle, all lacking pace. So I hope my predictive luck is running out. I backed Roscommon to beat Galway as I considered the young Rossie team would tear into Galway and get at the FB line. I expect a repeat in that they will target us down the middle and diagnoly. They will target AOS and COC to get at our star performers. The later could eventually react and get caught. We should win midfield as we have the height and power and guile. If their forwards hit top performance they will hurt us badly. What could get them is experience and big crowd/day nerves. A lot of youth and a lot of fitness and speed. I'm not going to call it as I don't know. ET or a replay could be in the offing. We need 1-2 goals to win this.Its going to be hell for leather on and off the pitch.

Fr Tod Umptious wrote: » I've mentioned many times here that I'd like to see what happened to Cork in 2010 happen to Mayo some year. Cork got knocked out five years in a row at either the SF or final stage by Kerry. But in 2010 Kerry, as Munster champs, were unexpectedly beaten by Down in the QF. Cork as qualifiers beat Roscommon, Connacht champs, and went on to win the All Ireland. And have done nothing since. I'd like to see Mayo having the same good fortune, instead of every year having to get past the best teams in a generation. That all starts with Kerry, as Munster champs, being unexpectedly beaten by Galway.

Kerry were the defending AI champs and Down came from no where but they have a history for doing that. 2012 Mayo got to take on a Donegal side that were playing in their first All Ireland final for 20 years. In 2013 Mayo at arguably the peak of their powers were paired up against Dublin whom they beat in the 2012 semi final and Dublin finished that AI final with 13 men also as two players were hobbling around, that was the type of fortune that Mayo didn't make the best of.
Fr Tod Umptious wrote: » Go easy on the revisionist history there. Donegal 2012 were the most well tuned, focused, fit, physical team of all time. Dublin in 2013 were a top 3 team if not the top team. What I'm talking about is meeting the likes of Kildare 1998, Mayo 2004, 2006 Down 2010. Teams that were total outsiders at the start of the year to be in AI finals. Even in 2014 Kerry caught a break by meeting a Donegal team that were no way as good as 2012, not alone not having to face Dublin.
rgace wrote: » The Kerry 2014 win was a bit of a freak one alright. However Mayo have had a decent amount of fortuante draws themselves, the qualifiers both this year and last year were kind. Last year Mayo didn't have to start playing until the quarter final, had a nice semi final and may have a handy run to the final this year again.
