Said in jest meant in earnest , interesting I've heard more postitives about Mayo in last couple of days than when they were actually playing, I'm reminded of the lad who's injured and every time his team loses his stock goes threw the roof , of course I'm writing prior to the final but I have to say none of the teams looking to dethrone Dublin are within an arses roar of Mayo at there best , they were monster unlucky with injuries this year and truth be told in need of a rest , the championship needs them to comeback in 2019 regardless of who's champions , championship needs quality and only a fool would argue Mayo in full flow don't have it Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 13/08/2018 18:37:55 2132875 Link 10 |

Disrespectful to the teams in the supsr 8. Fact is Mayo lost to Kildare and Galway this year so they are not good enough. The team that ran Dublin close the last two years were on the go for 10 years and now have burnt out. Hopefully Galway will learn from this year and build. People forget this was a debut season for Sean Andy, Sean Kelly, Barry Mc Hugh Ciaran Duggan, Kieren Molloy.

We'll see what Tyrone can bring to the final but Mayo were the biggest threat to Dublin's dominance this last few years alright. I think they will need a few years to rebuild and find a few new forwards, I think mistakes made by management have also cost Mayo, eg that disastrous goalie change for the replayed final in 2016, they were very unlucky and they are a loss to the championship alright, I think Dublin are so far ahead of the chasing pack now, I can't see who is going to dethrone them in the near future.

I'm sure they're delighted to hear you're missing them. What the hell is this thread for?

u need to talk to the lads in Newbridge about why they did that to Mayo. Best to Dublin in the Final, 4 in a row will be great. Maybe Tyrone can push ye like Mayo? I think Galway (my county) and Monaghan will be back again as they did not have previous semi-final experience and they have room to improve. Should be a great final.

They should be granted an honorary place in the super 8's for their contribution to entertainment in Gaelic Football.

Tyrone right now have about the same chance of beating Dublin as Mayo did last year. Galway had as many injuries as Mayo going into their game v Kildare and managed to beat them in Newbridge. Some don't want to accept that Mayo are transition and next year at best will reach the last 8. David Clarke; Chris Barrett, Ger Cafferkey, Keith Higgins; Colm Boyle,Tom Parsons,Seamus O Shea,Andy Moran probably forgetting a few more will all be in their 30s in 2019 with huge mileage on their clocks, the time has come to move most of those players on but it won't be a rushed job as the players coming through are no where near as good as those players even now when they are past their peak.

Mayo ? Why would anyone want to watch them mess up again and again . Mayo were the reason Dublin won so many all Ireland's through there ineptitude. I hated watching them and their poor game management . One thing is for sure Tyrone will not be afraid of losing . We have already won, in that we have gone one further than last year by making the final. To loose will not be end of world .. still a satisfactory year ... Since we've only 3 all Ireland's and 5 appearances in a final to date , we are making history . Dublin have more to loose, anything less than victory will be a disaster cacsmckilly (Tyrone) - Posts: 1294 - 13/08/2018 20:32:03 2132919 Link 4 |

Galway are shocking, they wouldn't be anywhere near Mayo either if they went man to man.

Some people getting a bit tetchy , I explained people who previously were putting the knife into Mayo suddenly getting misty eyed , then I gave my tuppance halfpenny worth , it wasn't a slight on any county more a respectful nod to Mayo , don't need anyone's permission on here to do that Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 13/08/2018 20:58:49 2132936 Link 2 |

That would make Clare, Kerry, Cork, Mayo as pretty bad then, look Mayo were nice, I shouted for them during the 9 Final defeats. Galway would be ok with this year with an eye to improvement, ranked 4th now

" Mr Clare football " that made me laugh, thanks. I know they haven't and they will probably beat them in the next 5 games if they keep 13 men behind the ball. For all the faults of this Mayo team at least they entertained " Mr Clare football " . When Galway are on the telly, im putting on peppa pig for my little one.

Your standard response seems to be to address people by the county they're from as 'Mr. Clare football', 'Mr. Laois football' and not a whole lot else. Galway can beat Mayo in May, but they wouldn't beat them in August or September. Mayo are a far superior side. Talk of Galway players making their debut this year is neither here nor there. Mayo had debutants in 2012 but beat Dublin, the reigning champions, in the all-ireland semi and made it to the final. Most of those Galway players are seasoned and aren't going to get better. They are not a Galway team like the brilliant team of 1998-2001. BliainanÁir (Laois) - Posts: 598 - 13/08/2018 23:01:04 2133000 Link 1 |

You're right, Mayo did become a bit of an obsession/enigma. They were the great white hope regarding removing the Dubs from their perch, and a lot of the country invested their hopes in Mayo. But typical of this country, when ye couldn't do it, and God knows ye deserved at least one of those titles, they turn on you, slagging you off, saying you lack bottle blah blah blah. Throw in the curse and you have good TV as they say. I still stand by what I've always said though, ye needed a Brogan or a McManus calibre of forward. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8592 - 13/08/2018 23:03:40 2133002 Link 4 |

I'd say you hated watching them as thy were good enough to get to the final when your team wasn't.
