I’m eagerly awaiting the GAA hour podcast, should be out today.

Another casualty of COVID is the podcast roadshows. I have good memories at one in Castlebar Mitchels a few years ago where interestingly enough Horan was one of the panelist’s

I used to really like that podcast but following wooly on twitter has really put me off him and the show. He is in the middle of a spat with buff egan at the moment, not to mention his commentary on the Covid restrictions.

The songs and tales of four rambunctious boys from Mayo currently residing in Galway.

Four noisy boys from the west of Ireland

This is great!

Much better than some of the ridiculous gombeen crap that's out there!

That's actually pretty good. I appreciate it won't suit all tastes but my own is quite varied, I enjoy stuff from Puccini to the Prodigy and a lot in between.

Absolutely
I avoid all of the usual songs in the leadup to a final but I watched that one, brilliant.

Ha! I remember that! Someone asked him what really happened between him and Conor Mortimer.

Woolly is a strange one. He asks good questions and can be quite forthright in a way that's refreshing, but he's also very gobby and seems to find it hard to stay in his own lane or resist and argument. Seems to thrive on a bit of drama.

You've summed him up pretty good there.

That show in Mitchels was brilliant stuff in fairness! Not being on the road as much this year means i don't get time to listen to all the podcasts so the GAA hour is way down the pecking list as a result.

Indeed that craic with Buff was unpleasant.

Uncalled for.

Same as that. Used to listen to every show. Now, I might listen to an occasional one. He failed to freshen up that show and it's gone stale now. Same voices. And it usually follows the pattern of Wooly saying something and then Conan & Cian agreeing with him. They need opposing voices to Wooly on it. Actually, maybe they should bring Buff on to achieve that!

Buff is an absolute clown. Wolly is worse for getting dragged into a spat with him. Of course Buff then goes with the mental health card angle. I'm sure there is a good reason why he doesn't have a platform beyond facebook and instagram.

Dont even mention his name or click on anything to do with him!
I tune out and turn off anything he's on.
Thats the only way media will stop using him.

From personal experience l find him a nasty arsehole but that’s just my personal opinion

From reading him on Twitter he seems to think he has a level of intelligence that’s far beyond what he actually has.

The IFI have put up highlights footage of Mayo's last All-Ireland win in 1951. Almost seems like a different sport. Doesn't seem like soloing the ball was much of a thing at that point? Not a whole lot of passing going on either, just hoofing of the ball up and down the field. Nobody seemed to hold the ball in possession for any length of time really. Then at the end, Sean Flanagan has a cigarette in his hand as he's being given the Sam Maguire! It would really hammer home just how long it's been since we last won one. The game has transformed so much since then.

"Great speed and dash", plenty of that is what we need on Saturday.

It's not a good state of affairs when Brady has lost the faith and is saying that he doesn't think Mayo will win... Normally, he'd be on every media outlet possible the week of a final telling anyone who would listen to him just how much Mayo were going win by....

Reverse psychology I'd guess.

Best one was in 2017 AI SF Dublin v Tyrone. David Brady on radio was bullish that Tyrone really could do it. How he really believed it. Plus he went to say how Con O'Callaghan could be 'got at' because he was inexperienced. Con scored a goal and a point within 3 minutes finished with 1-2.

Brady's answer at FT 'ah sure you have to have a bit of craic with these things'

If I was from Mayo I don't know who would be more embarrassed by 'Superfan' Tim O'Leary' or 'Super analyst' David Brady.

Dublin are on a 40 match unbeaten run in the Championship. Mayo have not beaten Dublin in 15 games (last win for Mayo was in 2012). Mayo have a young inexperienced team. No wonder Dublin are 2/9 favourites.

I think it will be Dublin by about 8 maybe, unless Mayo play out of their skins and Dublin have an off day. Stranger things have happened in sport though.

irishgeo · 17-12-2020 10:09PM

my thinking everything has to go right for mayo and we need that bit of luck and even then it still might not be enough.

Be interesting to see how dessie Farrell reacts on the sidelines if he has decisions to make.

PressRun · 17-12-2020 10:12PM

Irish Examiner podcast is an interesting listen. They were trying to come up with scenarios that could benefit Mayo, though none of them really give us a chance. Eamon Fitz picked us for the win in the end, but I think that was just to mix it up a bit as everyone else was going for Dublin haha

wirelessdude01 · 17-12-2020 10:14PM

As I said at school today, we need the average for rating for Mayo players to be 9+ and Dublin to be 8. Also the smile from lady luck needs to shine brightly on us as well.

If any county deserves a bit of luck by the law of averages it has to be Mayo.
Constantly knocking on the door. Overall they have to be one of the most consistent teams in the country over the last 15-20 years.

I remember further back watching the 1996 final Mayo v Meath. And shouting for Mayo. Roaring at the telly when the ball bounced and went over for Meath to get the replay. I mean what were the odds of that happening?

That's very good. Thanks for sharing it. Never mind the negative comments. If they listened to the chorus of the fckn 'Green and red of Mayo' for 10 years they can put up with this for a few weeks.

I think Dublin will get a sharp shock on Saturday. Mayo will hit them hard and the Dubs won't have the Croke park atmosphere to fire them back up.
I think the Sunday post mortem will belong to Dublin.
If the Dublin players are going to give up their long winning streak, they would rather to lose it to Mayo than any other county.

Mayo won’t have that atmosphere either, there’s no doubt that on All Ireland final day the majority of the crowd is in Mayos favour. Dublin know exactly what to expect from Mayo, they’ll be ready & I doubt they’d be happy to lose that run to Mayo either, there’s no love lost between the two!

Can’t agree, Mayo are the last team I want to see Dublin beaten by.

Can't link the article but glad tidings for Parlance.:D

Breaffy/Breaghwy has now been renamed Ballintubber according to the Connacht Telegraph.

A case of a misplaced sign!
