1640076 Master, never in my lifetime or many others has there been more non-Dubs on the Hill when Dublin footballers are playing in a major game.

There was a definite SCHEME to get as many terrace tickets are possible from as many avenues as possible for last year AI Football Final.

I am Not saying they are not entitled to get Terrace tickets but to have so many more than Dublin got was strange to say the least....

Wonder will it happen again this year IF we get to meet in the Final.



Mayo had ticket allocations for both the minors and the seniors, whereas Dublin only got the senior allocation. Come All Ireland final day the SCHEME is to get whatever ticket you can lay your hand on. Supporters, more often than not, do not have the luxury of selecting where exactly they want to view the match from.

Harsh but true I think.
Id love to see Mayo, and especially Alan dillon win an all ireland but if they dont I wont be feeling sorry for them. Theyve had enough chances.
I do think that mental fragility comes into it. I doubt a county like Armagh or Tyrone would lose that many finals.

Mayo might aswell choke against Kerry because they have no chance of beating Dublin.
Kerry are the only team that could beat them and that's not because they are better it's just down to a history of knowing how to win All Irelands.

Really well thought out post there. Kerry are the only team that can beat Dublin? Based on what? Tradition? Such lazy analysis. The Gooch destroyed Dublin last year. Ger Brennan is gone so I don't know how Kerry are equipped to beat Dublin.

I could have swore that the Donegal v Dblin game is on next Sunday but I must be wrong as this poster says mayo have no chance of beating Dublin.....

Good luck today Mayo, would be lovely to get another North west of Ireland all Ireland final.........l
