Mayo GAA Discussion

The majority of them are tied to a club lotto though aren't they? I always wondered why they doubled up that way but now I know!!!

Would I be right in saying that if you win in these raffles you still have to buy the ticket, so technically you win the ticket allocation, not the ticket itself. That must be the loophole around the terms you were talking about on the ticket @irishgeo

I have never won one that way so I'm not sure. But I seen someone here say that their dad won a ticket in the breaffy raffle one year and was disgusted when he found out he actually had to buy the ticket from the club after winning the raffle. I was wondering with these raffles is it the same as the season ticket raffle?

Apologies for the misquote!

I'd imagine it would be the normal two weeks so probably the weekend of the 25th?

I'm really getting excited about this now.

Just looking back on the two SFs the extra two weeks for Mayo I think has been very handy.

It has given them the time to get down off the high of beating Dublin, and lets admit they would have been on a high and right so, and then also have had two week to concentrate on their opponent.

Tyrone don't have that luxury and they to would have been on a high from beating Kerry.

Also looking at the two games it I think there is a big difference around how the two winning teams where in control of them.

Obviously Mayo stood off Dublin early on, but once they took control 10min into the second half, they never relinquished it, Dublin only got 4 points in 60mins, and even though a last gasp free brought Mayo to ET that free was all part of reducing the 6 point deficit or whatever it was.

Tyrone were never really in control of their SF, and it could have gone either way down to the last minute.

Kerry lead by 3 in the 68th minute, it was the 2nd Tyrone goal that saved them at that stage.

And even in ET Tyrone went 5 up I think and it was whittled back down to 1.

Now as discussed on one of the podcasts it's unlikely that Mayo will play the same 'rope-a-dope' v Tyrone that they did v Dublin (and you could say Galway also).

So the anticipation is that they will take the game to Tyrone from the start, and have Tyrone chasing the game.

Over all I think Mayo have a better team and squad than Tyrone, I think they are more experienced and just better. I think them being favorites reflects that.

I think Tyrone are flatterer by Kerry.

They just about got past a ill prepared, overrated Kerry, where as Mayo came back against a strong (albeit declining) Dublin and controlled the game from early in the 2nd half.

All of that of course is with a huge amount of confirmation bias towards Mayo, but sure why not.

Saw somewhere scheduled for the weekend after? (Sunday)

That's always been there. But prenty said it's a replay.

1st time posting in the gaa/ mayo thread and you come out with that

Yes it maybe i don't bother just follow it's what I heard form a reliable source hoping it may not be true

No that's the problem, if there was no truth in it Aiden Henry would have let everyone know.

Hopefully these words don't come back to bite me but I can't see Mayo conceding 3 goals like Kerry did. Those 3 Tyrone goals were fairly soft with players just waltzing through the Kerry defence. I think Tyrone will need goals to win this game as in a point scoring shoot out I would favour Mayo. So if Mayo can do like they did against Dublin and stop the goals and win the battle of attrition they have a great chance. Mayo have to be fresher given the 4 week break. 4 weeks is about right as any longer and they'd be rusty!

Can you add me to the list please? I am a long term Boardsie. The ticket wouldn't be for me but for my sister in law who is a Mayo ST holder.

It really frustrates me to see all these draws and raffles making money when ST holders who have gone to all the games and some of them travelled all across the country (not this year) can't get tickets.

Mayo have had a habit of conceding goals though.

Galway had two in the first half.

Remember the chances Tipp created early last year.

Dyou know I'm betwixt and between here too.

Even if I got a ticket I'd probably be there on my own.

Head to Mayo and the whole clan will be there. That's a very tempting prospect, so what's not to love!
