Replying To Llaw_Gyffes: "Great time to be a Dublin player or fan. Only a few more sleeps and a few more " come on yours boys in blue" before the Dubs become the greatest team of all time. For the fans on Saturday a couple of pints and then make the leisurely way to Croker, the only inconvenience being the country bumpkins clogging up the thoroughfares. No nerves though as it's only Mayo and they were always beaten even when they were at their peak. With a bit of luck it might stay interesting for twenty minutes to stop all the s#### talk of splitting Dublin in two or three or four. Shame about the odds though, no chance of making a few bob at five to one on. Should have got Whelo and Alan to talk up Mayos chances, bring down the odds a bit. Hope it's not raining, might go in half way through second half of the minor to shout on the team playing Mayo. Few scoops after to talk about Rocks scoring fifteen points and Cluxton kicking a couple of balls out to Mayo lads just to bring the winning margin below the twenty points. Watch the end of Sundays match on telly just to have a laugh at Tyrone and Kerry and see which of them we'll beat the s##### out of in the final. Ah the five in a row. For the players it's all about focus. Focus on looking serious when Jim says we're expecting a close game from Mayo and focus on not laughing when Jim says, after the twenty point win, Mayo put it up to us out there. The five in a row, immortality. Bernard still hanging around even though there are adds to be made, Rory coming back from his travels and playing from memory, Diarmuid giving up his summer in Boston, all for the lure of immortality. Ah the five in a row. And last but not least Jim. O Dwyer the b####### couldn't do it, or Boylan, not even the great Heffo. McGuinness, for all the talk about him only won the one. Harte couldn't win two in a row and he must be there about forty years at this stage. But Jim is on the cusp of greatness, he can feel it, the adoration from the hill, the adulation from the media, the greatest manager of the greatest team of all time. All that's standing in the way are perennial losers Mayo, and either Tyrone who are no better than last year when they were swatted aside with ease, or Kerry who can't defend and are relying on two nineteen year old forwards. How hard can it be. Just remember John said avoid all talk about funding and home advantage and all that loser talk as he'll take care of it. That voluntary coaches thing was genius, typical John. Time to get out the folder, look serious, put the hand over the mouth when speaking, the Russians might be watching, and whatever you do don't say anything interesting. Ah the five in a row. Just a few more sleeps!" Great post Llaw_ but I ain't buying it. These are very tense days in the capital. The mighty men from the West are coming with vengeance on their mind and we are steeling ourselves for a gripping nail biting encounter. No time for think of the Five in a Row, or whatever that is....

Sure Mayo have nothing to lose and will be expected to perform so. Whatever happens win or lose these lads will go down as the greatest and that's the only certainty there is. After that it's one day at a time baby.

"Mayo are sh1te" a banner read in Omagh, and held up by "die hard" dubs who go to every game....goes to show Dublin fans have zero fear of us and I reckon Tyrone or Kerry.

We're still too weary from our 6 hour round trip drive for a dead rubber in Northern Ireland on Sunday to put such a War and Peace effort together at this stage." I feel your pain man. Thankfully you won't have to endure such trauma again this year. Ourselves and Tyrone and Kerry on the other hand.......

Well you're coming to the home of Gaelic games. It has to be somewhere doesn't it? It can't be in Kerry, Tyrone, Mayo AND Dublin surely. I'm sure if the Dubs had a choice of playing you at Croke Park or at our real home, Parnell Park, they would choose Parnell but sure the Dubs just play where they are instructed to play.

Serious pressure now on Dublin to perform, as they are on the verge of being the first inter county senior team in the history of the GAA to win five titles in a row. Remember Kerry failed in 1982 and Kilkenny in 2010, the pressure was too much for them on the day.

I have no problem playing in Croke Park at this stage, in fact it's a privilege to be there. I just found it kind of quaint that having played two games in, if you want to split hairs, your second home you're bitchin about having to play the third one away whereas every other team have to travel twice and are expected to suck it up. Perhaps you should get on to big John and see if he could wrangle having your third game in Dublin at one or other of your grounds. I'm sure he could come up with a plausible reason to cover it. Health and safety maybe, all the Dubs having to venture out into the wilds without protection from savages with sling shots, poisoned arrows etc. Maybe he could site global warning as it seems to work for everything else. If that doesn't fly, and if it's any consolation, you get kinda used to the six hour round trips. I find at this stage I can get out of bed by about the following Tuesday so it's not all bad.

Most Dubs I know hate that poster. Go on to ResDubs and you'll see they fans holding that banner are roundly ridiculed.
You know full well that all counties have idiots supporting them.
