Perhaps less so now with media attention, but I`ve been long enough around the sport to remember when headers going after a referee was practically a national sport. Btw, that the header in Limerick not getting to throw a punch is hardly a great example. From memory it looked as if it took half an army to make sure he didn`t get the chance.

This thread is about Mayo football, not about how superior Galwegians are in their achievements and greatness in the last 30 years on and off the field. So who is looking forward to our first county final without Mitchell's in a few years? I'm still undecided who i think will win. Breaffy should be a lot fresher and O'Shea could play holy hell if he goes to the edge of the square, or will Ballintubber be battle hardened from three games in three weeks or be tired and fatigued. Should be a great game of ball.

Hard to know how big a factor the relative freshness/fatigue of the two teams will play. If Aidan is put in at the top of the house I can see him causing a lot of problems.Cathal Hallinan has impressed at full back and Gary Loftus was outstanding in the replay. Happy out anyway as I think I'll be in the Byrne's Babes entourage heading stateside in May.

Definitely makes you sharper and as the saying goes, games are better than five training sessions! Look at Mayo getting to the All-Ireland through the back door two years running - didn't work out last year but the point still stands. Gonna be a good contest but I'd go with Ballintubber.

Ballintubber on the other hand are a club side that will be relying on the conditioned county players to get them over the line and if the two O'Connors perform to the best of their ability this weekend it will probably be enough to beat Breaffy.
seligehgit wrote: » Any opinions on how the county final will go? Ballintubber would have to favoured to reclaim the Moclair Cup. Most neutrals would I imagine hope Breaffy can finally claim a county title. The intermediate final preceding it should be worth a look. Belmullet v Burrishoole The Doc and Chris Barrett going head to head. These Saturday night gigs are just super duper!:D

TBH as a neutral who lives only the other side of town I'd be glad to see them claim their first Moclair cup. They must be ravenous to claim their first county title. Looking forward to the intermediate final too.A good curtain-raiser.
