Let’s wait till Galway get to a few finals, or even semi-final, actually let’s wait till they start winning championship games in Croke Park again before putting them in the same sentence as Dublin.

Just like Mayo seem to have something over the Dubs and are able to compete on a par with them, despite being man for man inferior Describe 'meaningful' because in the case of Mayo all that matters is knock-out championship and they havent played each other in that for nearly 20 years.

Look at both teams record over the last five years ; Mayo - 3 finals and 2 semi finals, only beaten all 5 years by the eventual champions. Galway - 3 QFs and two defeats in the qualifiers, 4 of the five teams that beat them were beaten next game and only once were they defeated by the eventual winners. In fact in three of those years the team that knocked Galway out were subsequently beaten by Mayo that year. How in the name of god this is even up for debate is beyond all logical reasoning :rolleyes:
kilns wrote: » It doesnt matter how well Galway do in the championship, its the fact that this current Galway team has the beating of Mayo, Mayo may well be a better team than Galway but when they come up against Galway they hit a roadblock and just cant beat them Its the same scenario with Dublin and Mayo, on paper Dublin should beat Mayo easily but they dont and mostly Mayo are their equal in games The point being if Mayo cant get over beating Galway they will find it very hard to get into the super 8's considering they rode their luck in most of the qualifier games last year. If Mayo dont reach the super 8's this year it could see the end of this great Mayo team
