This person does not represent all Mayo fans. Definitely not me anyways.
They aren't.... so JB81 go away now with your tripe and at least understand who the poster is before coming in here with your own tripe.
not sure the original posted is a Mayo supporter. Don't recall seeing them post here before. I could be wrong.
Absolutely no need to be bringing up s***e from that Tyrone/Donegal/Tipp game years ago. Especially in this thread. Move it along
I agree with some not all but the win at all cost is definitely true they will do any thing to put there man off verbal abuse is only the start of it.
We will beat them in football terms and or strength and condition is miles ahead us getting to the allireland with this young team will stand to them on the day.its ours for the taking we just have to put the plan in action on the day
Tyrone supporter here, and I actually just dropped into this thread to get a genuine interest into what Mayo fans were thinking about the game and I come across this post, and had to respond. What a load of s*it from a supporter of a team who are going into an All Ireland Final in less that two weeks as favourites following a 70 year wait. And this is the tripe you come out with...
Few things:
1) It was a minor match where the alleged incident took place, do some research before making an ass of yourself
2) The incident was investigated and the conclusion was between Donegal CB, Tyrone CB and Ulster Council that although there were verbals in the match from both sides ( and lets not pretend all teams don't do it ) it was not directed at a player's deceased father
3) Of course we tried to kill time when we had black cards, doesn't every team? We were playing our heart out in a semi-final against the favourites and were down to 14 men. Again lets not pretend all teams don't do it
4) Absolutely it was a blatant pull down, and not nice to see. But I repeat again lets not pretend all teams don't do it in certain circumstance. Note Dublin ( can't recall exact year ) pulling down numerous Mayo players at the closing stages of an All Ireland Final. Cynical is the word used for it and rightly so. Similar to someone throwing a GPS at an opposing free taker at the end of a match...
5) I really think it is unfair and downright hateful to speculate in relation to an illness that has killed so many people in this way. You or I have no idea of the extent of it and wild accusations should not be thrown about. I really hope that the reports and medical reports and all the information between Tyrone, doctors, medical staff and Croke Park comes out and kills this sh*t about covid. Brian Dooher and Fergal Logan are extremely well respected and professional men and I for one have no doubt that they had the players welfare on their minds. I believe it when I heard that the players almost fell out with Brian Dooher when he announced that they would be unable to field. As it was put he was practically taking their Championship away from them. Let me tell you this, Brian Dooher did not make that call unless he really had to.
So why don't you park the b*llsh*t and concentrate on a novel pairing in the Final, which most of the country is delighted to see, and discuss tickets, tactics, celebration plans like every one else seemingly is and put a sock in it you muppet. I have a lot of time for Mayo and would not begrudge you an All Ireland, but your post has now made we hope we beat you of the park..

Agree with this. While there's no doubt that Tyrone have been highlighted as having an edge to their game it's not something that any of the other counties don't have and don't use.
As regards the rest of the post, I think someone may just be looking to start a fire that would be a bit unwelcome in this thread.
That's what I thought. I live in Dublin so might watch it in my local either, I'd imagine it'll be walk-in there as it's a bit away from the city centre. All over to mine after for hopefully the celebrations. The neighbours are probably praying Mayo lose, they know we'll go mental. :P
You definitely need to book
That’s quite the attack on Tyrone GAA and I’m not sure the Mayo GAA thread is the place for it.
I never liked Mickey Harte but there’s an edge to Tyrone football that has to be admired. They revolutionised football in the mid ‘00s and brought a work rate that we hadn’t seen before. All of the top teams play on or past the edge at times, Mayo included
Would you need to have booked a spot in a pub by now? Or will it be walk-in on the day and hope for the best?
It would be of interest to know how many of the Tyrone team were on the Tyrone panel that won the u21 All Ireland football final a few years ago when it beat Tipperary. The manager that day is the same manager for the current Tyrone senior team.
Tyrone u21s’ beat Dönegal on the way to the final. It was reported , at the time, and in relation to both matches, that the verbal abuse from some of the Tyrone players was something to behold - comments were apparently of a very sexual nature,about deceased relatives etc, etc and delivered using extremely uncooth language.
i did not see most of the match against Kerry but I understand that Tyrone tried to ‘kill’ as much time as possible via apparent injuries when one of its players got a black card - stop/ start can be a killer to knock you out of your stride.
In the last minutes of the match I say a Tyrone player actually down a Kerry player to the ground - the most blatant pull down I ever saw . The Tyrone player had absolutely no intention of even considering playing football. His sole intention was to bring a man down in such a way as if his life depended on it , kill more time , frustrate the opposition , etc, etc, etc. the ref should have added on another two minutes because of it.
i smelled ‘a rat’, as they say, immediately I heard of the Tyrone Covid plea. In my eyes , the countypulled a very fast one. The feature in the Saturday’s Irish Times on the Tyrone goalkeeper - before the match - was , IMO, a masterpiece of deception. Eg the Covid thing was so serious/bad that when I turned up for training I did not know whether only two others might turn up for training
it begs the question if there is an un written culture in the Tyrone GAA circles of such actions so as to win at any cost and no matter what it takes tacit approved by management by doing nothing about it. So the Mayo players/management should be ready for ANYTHING and brace itself accordingly - and not get ‘caught up’ in the games- other than football that Tyrone play
GAA Hq should now consider doing two things re rules in general:-
(1) with agreement of ,say ,three players per team , the wearing of mics to pick up on any abuse being thrown
(2) using TMO - like as in rugby, to check on fouls but most especially on throwingmmmmmmm on the throwing instead of hand passing the sliotarmmmmmmmmmm sliotar. Not related to the above but just availing of the opportunity to make the point
Trouble is a few hundred Tyrone supporters will have the same idea. If it was me would be avoiding Drumcondra altogether.
Kennedys or Iveagh House both in Drumcondra are decent spots to watch a game.
Speaking of watching the game in a pub in Dublin, where would people recommend? O'Sheas of Talbot street would have been where my gang would always meet before and after games. Decent pub to watch a game.
Too true, this year more than any other year buying a printed ticket off anybody outside the stadium is just asking to be ripped off. If anybody goes up give yourself a deadline and then get out of Dodge and watch it somewhere nice. I.e nowhere around Drumcondra
Such is the demand for tickets this year that I wouldn't dream of going up without one.
Sure there might be the odd person who finds them self with a spare, but you'd have to imagine that they would personally know loads desperate to take it off them.
The reduced capacity really lessens the chances of getting a ticket from a stranger in my opinion.
Plus the reduced capacity in the surrounding pubs (shitholes really) could have you scampering trying to get into a pub further afield to watch it and missing some.
If you chance buying a printed ticket off a stranger you'd want your head checked.
I’d avoid touts yop. But it looks like I’ll be going up with Mrs G&R and one ticket. There’s bound to be genuine people with tickets to sell
Personally I would prefer watch on TV than give money to a tout.
Can see why you are tempted though.
Thanks for the feedback.
Congrats to the STs who have got your tickets. Give a roar for me :D
No harm trying Gills corner on match day. I know of people got them on day for Dublin v Kerry 2019. No harm to ask guards standing at Gills corner and sometime people hand tickets to them if friend can't make it. It long shot but worth a try.
Dealing with touts is luck of the draw. Could be a genuine ticket they have, could be one they've printed 100 times and you only find out when it wont scan. Personally, I'd never deal with them. Especially the ones in Dublin, they're of the "rougher" variety to put it nicely.
If you're going to travel without a ticket I'd get up early and go around any place where fans are mingling. There will be people on the day who cant make it for whatever reason and there will be spares. I've bought and sold tickets this way for previous finals, including getting one in the train up.
Best of luck with it.
One wonders why there wasn't more communication between the gaa and government about the opening up of things . If for example the gaa had pencilled in the all Ireland's a few week's later than originally planned (i know it would mess things up for club championships this year) as a once off. They ended up doing this anyway to an extent with the Tyrone covid issue. Its like they didn't envisage these capacity issues happening at all and just wanted to get the championship played off with as little fuss as possible. Its a ball's.
Gutted with it too! The whole system is so wrong, i haven't been this passed off with it all since 2012 because I bought my cairde ticket then but that's been taken from us this year!
Im just gutted with it all. Fkn hell theres on Midwest advertising the clubs raffling off tickets. More so for my Dad than me but I know the closer it gets the more peed off I'll be.
Anyone any recommendations when dealing with people selling tickets outside of the pitch on game day? I assume these will be a page printed out with a ticket on it?
No email and no invoices in the ticketmaster account either! I fear that was my last chance! Delighted for those of you who got them!!! I don't hold out the same hope of other years where tickets start to come into circulation a week out as the numbers aren't there this year!!
Is that written on your ticket?
No luck here either. Ah well. Maigh Eo abú
Sounds like most of the clubs have allocated their tickets
Balls. Didn't get one. So off to the touts I'll have to go
