John Maughan on Rte radio saying the one team Dublin fear is Mayo they never hammer Mayo, no John it's not fear it's the fact that Mayo are a very good team and are very hard to beat ffs. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 16/09/2016 18:11:49 1915190 Link
I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but adain o Shea has said in an interview with colm keys that Mayo are past their best ! theduke66 (Dublin) - Posts: 334 - 16/09/2016 19:59:32 1915219 Link
Replying To theduke66: "I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but adain o Shea has said in an interview with colm keys that Mayo are past their best !" I wouldn't expect him to say anything else. I'd say they've been slaving away for the past 4 weeks and are well primed. He'd like Dublin to think the opposite but Jim didn't come down in the last shower.

Replying To theduke66: "I'm not sure if I'm getting this right but adain o Shea has said in an interview with colm keys that Mayo are past their best !" Would have to agree with that. They probably peaked in 2013 -14. Dublin probably much the same. Tyrone and Tipperary are the only teams in the top six who are actually on the way up. This is not a vintage year by any means.

It's one thing making the other team favourites but a senior player saying their over the top day before game.? theduke66 (Dublin) - Posts: 334 - 16/09/2016 21:31:18 1915238 Link
Someone please explain to me why your not allowed bring your alcohol you've bought in the stadium up to your seat? Your allowed bring 7up or Coke up but not your pint that they serve in plastic cups, why not people? I've been meaning to ask that question loads of times but kept forgetting. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 16/09/2016 22:02:55 1915244 Link
Replying To avonali: "Interesting. Mayo drifting out to 10/3 with Paddy Power..meanwhile the vast majority of HS posters believe Mayo will win! Croighorm is right. Most people vote for who they want to win not who they think will win." Nah .... most people would like to see mayo win and think they have a genuine chance of winning on the basis of their performances over the last few years . If for example tipp had beaten mayo everyone wud also want tipp to win but wouldn't believe they could win The reality with mayo is that there is a definite chance they cud beat the dubs on Sunday it's not the most likely outcome but there is a definite chance it cud happen ! rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 617 - 16/09/2016 22:33:41 1915249 Link
All the powers of heaven and earth are being summoned up to Mayo's cause from the Kingdom of God, Our Lady of Knock . from the Kingdom of Kerry, Donie Buckley and the OSheas of Killorglin stock, from The See of Patrick, Mc Nulty and now the Messiah from Donegal McGuinness. 31 counties baying for your blood . Dubs if ye were not so good you would not be in it with a prayer . The forces of heaven and earth aligned against you all is fair in love and war 37sowhat (Sligo) - Posts: 752 - 16/09/2016 23:05:48 1915252 Link

Jim Mcguiness helping out Mayo , I had this information up here 3 weeks ago and was basically told to shut up and cop on. As if Mayo would need Jim Mcguiness's help. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 17/09/2016 09:42:56 1915299 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Jim Mcguiness helping out Mayo , I had this information up here 3 weeks ago and was basically told to shut up and cop on. As if Mayo would need Jim Mcguiness's help." Who told you to shut up and cop on? It's been common knowledge for a few weeks alright. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7346 - 17/09/2016 10:33:11 1915311 Link
Replying To clondalkindub: "Jim Mcguiness helping out Mayo , I had this information up here 3 weeks ago and was basically told to shut up and cop on. As if Mayo would need Jim Mcguiness's help." At this stage we'll take any help we can get. Any chance Jim Gavin might have a spare half hour between now and half three tomorrow. Just a few general hints like!

It's because of the GAA's anti-alcohol policy. Once you walk through the tunnel you're deemed to be in the stadium, out the back at the shops you're not (even tho you're through the turnstiles) cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 17/09/2016 16:30:16 1915387 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Who told you to shut up and cop on? It's been common knowledge for a few weeks alright." David Brady was discussing this on off the ball today. He then received a text live on air telling him it wasn't true. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 17/09/2016 19:01:58 1915406 Link

It looks like it's going to be a wet first half High chance of rain at 3pm with things improving from 4pm Could be a right mess in the first half.. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 17/09/2016 20:43:44 1915423 Link
