Do ye think there will be many Mayo supporters on the hill? I have a hill and I'm wondering if I should try a swap. I'm delighted to have it, don't get me wrong

I have a hill ticket and have no intention of swapping. At least ill be with friends and family instead of being scattered all over.
North Mayo tickets have been for the hill the last few years
I dont know why.

I was in the hill in 2013 and it was good. Its not rough just wedged.

Two and a half hour All Ireland preview on The OTB roadshow on Eir Sports One now.

Fr Tod Umptious · 15-09-2017 11:32PM

If Mayo win I plan on heading home to Castlebar after the game, well after all the fun in over in Croke Park

I have not driven to Castlebar from Dublin in probably 15 years.

How long will it take, are there many bottlenecks ?

Is Athlone Ballyhanus Claremorris better than Mullingar Longford Charlestown ?

Is M6 to Galway and up to Castlebar better still ?

If we win you have to go through Ballaghaderreen to help support those caught on the wrong side of the border.

Mayo for Sam. Dublin for the Zoo.

Not trying to sound smart but worry about that when Mayo win. You will get there no problems I can guarantee you if they win ðŸ˜Š

Vaughan will be eaten alive at full back. Surely he won't be playing there.

Last years replay finshed just before 7 and I was having a pint in Castlebar just after 9:30. The longest quick drive ever. But I was in a taxi straight away on Dorset St and had my car parked at the Spawell. I don't think the radio went on the whole journey.

I prefer Athlone, Roscommon, Tulsk, Ballaghdeeren, Castlebar myself. Far less chance of a bottleneck than the Longford way anyway and a better final road than Bhaunis way.

No need to worry about the drive home if we win. The pubs probably won't close.

A good bit of craic. I can see how Brady might annoy people but I love the man.

Pure divilment in him. There always was too.

Always remember him twisting Whelans ear in 06, literally. He was a lunatic but as soon as Ger started to get a bit worked up, he would be over to calm him down.

I don't know if you saw it on the TV broadcast but when the second panel were walking out Tomás was ahead of Brady and stopped at the couch, then DB shoulder charges him.

Was gas. Sort of **** he'd only get away with.

Could well be your best option.

Ye've a big step up in quality to face on Sunday, but the path taken to the final means the team will be perfectly primed for the game of their lives.
If (and I expect this will happen) it's undecided with 10 minutes to go, it will come down to force of will. Unlike last year, ye need to not alone believe, but make it happen. Luck will, as always, play a part, but the leaders will need to say enough is enough, we're not losing this one and expend every last bit of themselves to seize it. Go n'eiri libh and may we see Sam on the mall Monday night!!!

Yea, arriving at the border on the main road in a convoy of others would be more fun than sneaking in the back door between Headford and Glencorrib.

And anyway as another poster said the pubs won't be shut until late.

Long time lurker, first time poster

The ticket situation seems to be particularly dire this year. No sign of one yet, am heading up anyway. Any suggestions of a good place to watch it if no ticket appears? Would rather avoid Drumcondra. Thinking Rathmines maybe, should be a good few Mayo heads around there.

Although there might be a lot of Mayo people in Rathmines I very much doubt it would be a fruitful exercise seeking a ticket there.

Far better off heading in very early to town up towards Croker,the usual locations Barry's hotel,Gills,The Big Tree,Quinn's.You could check with the gardai on duty at the barriers,tickets on occasion may be handed in if they can't be offloaded to a genuine supporter.

You could chance it out at the sevens in Crokes.Found it a waste of time myself in the past.

Go into the usual prematch spots and ask everyone
You will get lucky

This gave me goosebumps

Brady wants all 3 of our FF line to get yellows for kicking the ball away as Cluxton is about to kick it out...

I've been thinking about this a bit
We should do what cork did to us
Have someone throw an extra ball on
Will get away with it for the first few minutes

And then if we are winning coming due the stretch do EVERYTHING we need to
Kick balls of the tee
Kick balls into the stand to prevent quick frees

Obviously not if there is only a point in it and free is brought into kicking range
But in there half slow it all down
Rick
Pull
Foul

Too nice for too long

Plus Rochford could follow this guy's example. Do managers get sent off in GAA?

Kerry selector Mike Hassett got sent from the sideline in the SF replay.
