At an U9 soccer match with my young fella down here in Limerick....nearly glad to have something to distract me for an hour or two.

He has a Mayo jersey on underneath his team kit :-)

Is it 5 O'Clock yet??

Best of luck, enjoy the rollercoaster of emotions today!!

All the best to Mayo today this Kildare Gael would love to see you do it

Just after mowing the back lawn, nearly broke my heart because the grass was soaking, mower kept getting clogged but it took my mind off the game for a while.

No ticket alas but heading down to a pub in my old Mayo home town this afternoon, meeting the brother and a few mates. My son and daughter, although Galway by birth, have been successfully 'indoctrinated' over the years so they're also tagging along and will be honary Mayo people for the day.

It's been a long road, lots of ups, some downs, trips to Croker, meeting old acquaintances, lonely return journeys back home, but always ready for another go and so here we are.

I've a feeling this team won't let us down, nice blend of experience, fearless youth and a wiser Horan at the helm. Maybe AOS will surprise us all, have a stormer and shoot the lights out, that would be the icing on the cake.

I might even have to change my username, it's way overdue.

Yeah just arrived.

Lovely day.

Warm and quite humid.

Obviously we all hope for a win today, the only way it could be improved for me, is if Aido has a game we know he's well capable of.

Fans from other counties will never accept how good he is, but it would be nice to shut up many of our own who get on his back at the drop of a hat.

Getting the good wishes of other counties is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for the good wishes.

I know some people think that the average Mayo supporter is a bit annoying and has a bit of arrogance. I genuinely don't think it's arrogance. I think maybe it more of a naïve fake confidence. That we want to be the elite, but we kinda like the elephant in the room cause it's been 70 years, whereas most of the better teams have obviously won it a lot more recent.

Anyway, here's hoping that today will get rid of the talk about 70 years and the curse etc. And we can stand proudly as one of the elite.

Cant wait. Getting ready to head over to Croke Park - soak up the pre-match atmosphere. Enjoy it everyone.

Every Mayo person in Croke Park today represents tens of thousands scattered across the globe and the rest of the county roaring the team on from home.

We are their voice today.

If we don't leave Croke Park today without being completely hoarse, we won't have done our job.

Time to finish this.

Up Mayo.

Like my bro here I will be heading for East Mayo soon, to watch the game with him and some more of my family & friends. Most of the lads will be in Croker, but those of us watching from the home county will be roaring just as loud.

There is no curse.

COME ON MAYO!!!!!

lawred2 · 11-09-2021 02:32PM

I hope with every bit of me that you guys get it done today.

Good luck Mayo.

lawred2 · 11-09-2021 02:35PM

Seriously though, seventy years, time to just get it done. It's well overdue.

extra gravy · 11-09-2021 02:38PM

Anyone willing to swap an Upper Hogan for two Hill?

Man Vs ManUre · 11-09-2021 02:50PM

Today is the day that all Mayo people have been waiting their entire lives for, ‘The Pacifier’ starring Vin Diesel premier’s on RTÉ 1 at 6:30pm.

blockfighter · 11-09-2021 03:57PM

I just got a ticket. I'm an emotional wreck already. MAYO FOR SAM.

In for Hession apparently

The Big Easy · 11-09-2021 04:37PM

Shane Lowry just said he's rushing back to watch the All-Ireland and wanted to say one last thing in his post round interview: "Mayo for Sam". Good lad Shane! Today's the day please God!

Man Vs ManUre · 11-09-2021 04:39PM

Trust me, this will not be a close game. Mayo will win it as easily as Dublin beat Tyrone in the final few years ago. I will be proved right by 6pm Sunday.
