Plainly my arguments from last week about why Mayo should take the Monaghan game seriously were used by Horan on Sunday. Only logical explanation I can think of.

I'm surprised Kerry are strong favourites for Sunday. It seems like it should be an even enough match.

Boyle Sports have Mayo at 9/4. That's too tempting for me to resist. I would have thought both teams would be around the evens mark.

I am not a gambling man but I find those odds absolutely crazy.

You would want to be mad to back Kerry at 2/5.

I'm interested to see the match ups. Sean O'Shea and Clifford big lads, we might need a physical presence on them?

In fairness, backing Mayo in national finals has not proven a profitable strategy for a very long time. I'd hope to see that change on Sunday but history is on the side of the kingdom and that plays into the odds on offer.

Have you tried purchasing tickets for the lower Hogan??

Indeed the bookmakers don't trust Mayo when it comes to national finals sadly with very strong justification.

I've a work colleague with close family in New York.

He categorically stated that there'll be no issue buying a ticket at the ground on match day.

That's the second individual who has stated same.

Even if 6000 turn up?

Martina1991 · 27-03-2019 08:01PM

Ticketmaster only has tickets for 2 sections. I was just in a local supervalu. They only have lower Hogan and Davin.

When are the rest on sale?

I cant see the upper tier being opened.

Its strange. I thought there'd be big demand especially with the hurling.

Why wouldn't the hill be on sale

For anyone looking to purchase the current Mayo home jersey (Green & Red), Lifestyle Sports have them reduced to 60 euro from 70.

Same here. Ideal time to bring kids and with Limerick in the hurling final I'd say there will be a big crowd. What number would they have to reach to open the upper levels - 50k?

Clarke a major doubt with Plunkett and McDonagh which is a shame
Ruane and DIskin expected to be fine

Would be a shame especially for Plunkett and McDonagh to miss out as their performances thus far warrant being selected. They may not get back in for championship either if they don't start this game.

I think it's fair to say that McDonagh is pretty much nailed on to start in the Championship after the league he's had.

seligehgit · 28-03-2019 10:38PM

If necessary there will be a penalty shoot out to separate the sides on Sunday.

seligehgit · 29-03-2019 12:07AM

We'll be bedecked in the new away jersey which much like it's predecessor is very nice.

Understandable given the clash of colours.

Still can't beat seeing the lads togging out in the green and red.

BandMember · 29-03-2019 12:09AM

The new jersey is horrible!! We look like either the Dubs or the Rossies change kit. We'll be singing "come on ye boys in blue" next.....

(Ok, maybe not....

Still don't like the jersey though - where did they get the blue from??

)

ffs I wouldn't go that far but I am not a fan of the new home jersey either. Its very old fashioned imo. The one it replaced is far nicer.

The black jersey was really nice as well. I will hold off on the blue jersey until I see it up close.

I agree
Why can't we just stick with red/green or white.

It is all a money racket now. More kits coming out every year than soccer teams at this stage

cocoman · 29-03-2019 12:58PM

Upper Cusack now open. I booked 4 seats in the Davin yesterday as I didn't want to risk not getting 4 together (bringing kids). Pissed off now

Agree however I am tempted to buy that retro shirt for the NY game, provided it goes on sale of course

Sad day in ladies football and in particular Carnacon whose founder and senior manager Jimmy Corbett has died.

RIP.

Stronger team than what started against Monaghan. A few changes expected before throw in? Defence and midfield has a strong,balance look to it.

Dunno about singing that. But I do hope we get to hear the hill in full flight blaring that out again this year!!!

That's a strong looking team for Sunday and excited to see what's going to be coming off the bench 😁

irishgeo · 29-03-2019 10:18PM

Who is the goalkeeper on the bench?
