Mayo GAA Discussion

Yes and all im saying is , in my humble opinon Dublin are not the force they were and are in serious decline , its there for all to see they have nothing coming from the bench and the starting 15 are struggling big time

Put the bottle down, Jack.

Are you able to share those Dublin Mick WhatsApp messages? I have the main part but it’s just a photo and only goes as far as “Dessie (Na Fianna) told the captain”

That's fantastic. I thought at this stage I'd be a bitter little man hearing about those getting tickets. But I don't feel like that at all. THe more Mayo fans that can make it, and belt out THe Green and REd of Mayo when the team get over the line, the better.

Have a great day. If it's anything like the atmosphere on the Hill for the Dublin match, it will be fantastic.

A word of warning......

Just printed off my golden ticket and luckily I read the small print first. It says only one scan allowed per ticket. I was just about to scan it using a scanner app, to make sure it printed correctly!!

Not sure if it would scan but didn't try it just in case!!

I've given up on a ticket at this stage.....quite a cathartic and calming experience I have to say.

My chances were slim at best but I've made so much noise down here in Limerick that I'll be at the forefront of people's minds in years to come when Mayo tickets are more available :-)

Listening to a bunch of podcasts right now... excitement and anxiety building

Same... Bar 1989 ( I was 4) and 2012 as I was away. One final kick from covid 😔

Hope something turns up for you!

How much money have you spent on draws if you don't mind me asking. Infuriating that you can't get a ticket!

Was there in 89 as well....I could almost reach out and touch Finnerty's hair from where I was sitting :-)

I was only 10 or so at the time but I can remember the utter devastation and heartbreak at full time. 2016 was bad as well but 89 will stick with me.... we're used of getting to finals now but back then it felt like a once in a lifetime event

That's a joke. I hope you get sorted.

My first time (apart from last year) not being there for the Final. In my lifetime.

But no ticket this time. Really hate to miss it. Barring some miracle it's Telly and a cup of tea for me.

Anyone who has a ticket. Do your bit to drive on the team and believe.

Mayo for Sam!

Have also given up on the ticket hunt. Haven't had a sniff of one, neither has anyone I know. I just hope plenty of Mayo people get their tickets and make plenty of noise.

Also agree that the ticket issue has sucked a lot of the joy out of the build up. Very shambolic the way the whole thing was handled.

But anyway, I'm still excited for the game. Hoping for a dry day.

I think Mullin will start if he is fit. Hession will be held back imo.

Think McHale played himself out of starting contention in the semifinal unfortunately, he just couldn't get to the pitch of the game.

Could Harrison be a surprise starter? It could release Keegan...

I think if they had offered season ticket holders an option of a ticket with the caveat that next years season ticket would be more expensive instead of offering tickets for 590 a piece they would have come out of this looking alot better. I'm also club + holder!

Same as that. Load of people I know in the same boat. Spent a fortune on draws with no joy.

Reality of missing out hit hard yesterday, felt physically sick at the thought and the mood wasn't great. I don't think I'd ever feel the same about it if after all the highs and lows down the years to not be there. Trying hard not to think about it. A miracle is needed though. It's chronic how bad it is.
