No word as yet, real nuisance.:mad: Will seriously discommode supporters, hopefully they can resolve their differences before Sunday. No intention of bringing the car into town.

I was talking to a kerryman just after mayos win against cork. He did let slip that he preferred to have mayo rather than cork in the semi. I felt the old superiority complex was well and truly engraved in that persons mind.

I've experienced this too. I reckon in Kerry they feel they have a psychological edge on Mayo and they have their eye well and truly on the final.

I predict Kerry to win against Mayo by between 8 and 12 points. Donegal will hit Dublin very hard but I don't think they'll have enough in the tank for Dublin. Kerry V Dublin for the Final.

For Mayo it is better to lose to Kerry in the Semi-Final than suffer the indignity of losing a 3rd All-Ireland final in a row. As for Kerry with Jamesie O'Donoghue at the helm I can us reclaiming Sam this year back home south to his rightful throne. The talk in the Kingdom this last week is of a forlorn and saddness that Colm Cooper is injured because along with Jamesie we'd be looking at a replay of the 2009 drubbing of Dublin which is so most badly craved now in the Kingdom.

You don't think losing to Kerry by between 8 and 12 points is suffering an indignity?!
Personally, I thought Roscommon were going to beat us because I didn't think we'd have the hunger to get to another all ireland but they showed that hunger and desire in the last 10mins of that game and they can only improve on the Cork performance. We can worry about "the indignity of losing a 3rd All Ireland final in a row" after we stuff yer lads on Sunday

homewardbound11 · 17-08-2014 08:44PM

Have to say it's very low key down the west . There was more hype in Donegal this week.

Kerry must really fancy this one. Not a good sign as I said before for Kerry . Dublin will be laughing all the way to copper face jacks on all Ireland day.

naughto · 17-08-2014 09:02PM

We have being through this to many times at this stage to get hyped over a semis final

Coming into the Mayo thread with a prediction like that, there's no chance you're just looking for a reaction, is there?!

I dont want a reaction I'm just telling it as I see it and how I feel it will pan out. As a Kerry supporter I have had more than my fair share of joy with Kerry ultimately at Mayo's expense down through the years. If there is any county in Ireland would love to see Mayo win an All-Ireland then I can tell you it is us in Kerry, obviously we don't want them to win it at our own expense but continuously losing All-Ireland's will do the county no good as eventually young lads will get disillusioned etc.

I wish Mayo the very best and if they do beat Kerry they better march on and win the final also. I don't want to provoke or hurt anyone basically what I'm saying is that to lose to Kerry in the Semi-Final rather than Dublin or Donegal who both effectively robbed Mayo in 2012 and 2013 would be the lesser of two evils for Mayo. I'd love to see them get an All-Ireland but I don't think they have it in them.

Then how on earth do you think Kerry are a better team by 4 goals. That is nothing short of provocation or lack of intelligent reasoning. There is nothing to suggest that there is only a score between these two sides.

Don't waste your time.
Just go and look at his/her previous posts about Kerry.
It will all make sense.

I love when he/she come around and posts, great reading.

Mr. Incognito · 17-08-2014 10:38PM

Best of luck to Mayo on Sunday. Fancy Kerry to lose by 4-6.

Galway beat us in midfield but shot too many wides. Mayo will take their chances.

I hope ye beat the dubs

Cute. Kerry. Hoor.

Was surprised by stats that showed Kerry actually broke even at midfield against Galway.

Section 305 for the game, decent tickets again.

Is that good for Kerry in the sense that they competed better than originally thought in the middle or is it bad that they broke 50/50 yet still seemed to be beaten in the middle ?

Think I'd look at it as good from the POV that if you're doing worse than breakeven against Galway you'd probably do worse than breakeven against Mayo too.

I wouldn't be too bothered with how it looked, in reality we could have beaten Galway by a cricket score if it had been required but the midfield was a genuine battleground.

304 too, can't wait

You were about 25 seats away from me against the tunnel I think if I "have" the right man?
There was no easy way over to you so I said I would leave you to it

I will see if you are closer on Sunday

Yip, right against the wall over the tunnel! Will be about 5 rows further back from there the next day.
