Mayo GAA Discussion

Can't wait for the final in 2, 4 or 6 weeks time!

Once they ended up with extra time it was Tyrone's to lose.

But yes, at throw-in I didn't expect that would be the result..

What illness will Tyrone come up with to delay the final lol?

We have to absolutely press the **** out of Morgan in the final. He nearly cost Tyrone the match today.

Does every club in Ireland get two final tickets this year like in normal years?

Galway fans will no doubt invade the fourms like they do in the Hogan.

Re final.

Mayo have better footballers, better conditioning, better management and are likely to out number Tyrone in the stands.

Cool heads and self belief make this a 4/5 point victory.

I agree with this. We didn’t play well at all against Dublin for the first hour. Tyrone were quite strong today and took their chances well despite losing a huge percentage of their kickouts.

I don’t understand how the bookies have us as favourites - those odds should be a lot more similar for both teams than they are at present and I’d be shocked if they don’t end up being a lot more similar or even a reverse of the current status by game day.

PP have us as 4/6 and Tyrone at 6/5, that’s a bit of a spread but your point is valid re the handicap.

From what I can gather though bookies generally tend I throw out the handicap odds to see which way the money blows and then adjust accordingly.

I’d be more than happy with a 1 point win all the same.

Hard to know what to make of that, David Clifford and Sean o Shea the only one to show up for Kerry yet they could still have won only for some bad decision making with the square ball 'goal'. Not the final we were expecting but I am sure we will be well prepared for it in 2 weeks time.

meath man here.really hope that mayo can finish off the job now,there's only so much heartache any county can take.Have done a massive thing for Gaelic football in beating Dublin twice in ten years and only a kick of the ball in it so many times.where would football be if dubs got seven in a row.Anyway great credit to mayo for stopping that and from six points behind,it really is some achievement.massive sympathy for cillian O'Connor missing out sport can be really cruel. Great to see Kieron McDonald involved on the sidelines one of my favourite ever players.would love Aiden O'Shea to score 1.4 or something and take away mom trophy.so unfairly criticised over the years I feel hope his day comes had so hoped he would leave Philly mac on his arse when he came on at the end.He is subjected to pure thuggery game after game but it leaves space for others cause he is such a handful.Hopefully mayo are capable of getting 2 maybe 3 goals that's what wins games. Kerry goal yesterday instead of square ball and they would of gone on to win well. It can be worth so much more than 3 points. COME ON MAYO !!!!

so rare it's never happened before at senior level.

Regarding tickets my experience in limerick for the hurling final was that more came on stream than I genuinely expected I have good connections but still thought that 2 of my immediate family had no chance of going but they did and that's considering cork were our opponents and they've a huge following. Dont get me wrong there was loads before the match without tickets but anyone I knew that wanted to go got tickets that was my experience anyway I know mayo have a huge following and there will be some disappointed but majority should be ok.

Best of luck in the final 31 counties behind you.

Don't think the extra two weeks wait did any great favours for Kerry, a lot of any game is what's between the two ears. Pressure and expectations, assumptions.

Mayo are now in same boat and arguably likewise disadvantaged. Another challenge.
