Now now, try and put yourselves in our shoes over the last few years. Personally I felt sanity slip away around 2015.

People should remember Last time Dublin were going for 3 in a row in 1978. Massive favourites to beat Kerry with a team many said were all time greats. For the first 20 mins all went to plan as Dublin played superb to open op a 7-2 lead. Then a couple of mis-steps leading to a collapse of epic proportions and a 17 point drubbing.

Personally, I applaud Dublin for what they have achieved since the day's of Heffo (RIP) and I would never begrudge them of their multiple successes, the level of professionalism they have brought to the game speaks for itself. I have massive respect for Mayo and applaud them for their never say die attitude, their resilience, their sporting approach to all games at all times. supersub15 (Carlow) - Posts: 2907 - 14/09/2017 12:22:17 2045945 Link 3 |

If everything goes right on the day for Mayo and things go badly for Dublin not alone can Mayo win but win big. But its a ginormous IF! Ah yeah, something that happened 39 years ago should definitely be taken in to consideration when predicting a Dublin win! GaaGaa78 (UK) - Posts: 285 - 14/09/2017 12:23:50 2045947 Link 1 |
I wont begrudge Mayo a second of it, I will applaud them off the pitch and congratulate their fans with 100% genuine well wishes. Liamwalkinstown (Dublin) - Posts: 8166 - 14/09/2017 12:56:02 2045952 Link 0 |
Careful now....this sounds like we've conceded defeat before the ball is thrown in.

I agree completely on both your points. That said though I will be gutted if we lose.

And unlike the DC thread on the Dublin forum, I can wholeheartedly, 100% agree with you here. No mistake about it. I don't want Mayo to win, id be gutted if we lost, but part of me would say, yano what, fair play Mayo, you done it!!!

Agree If Mayo win fairplay , will be gutted but as Kipling Said you need to handle triumph and disaster as the two imposters they are , Regards Mayo no special affection , wont find solace in the fact that its them beating us , well that's not true at least the one thing you can say about Mayo is that at least they are not Kerry.

I second this. Win or loose on Sunday, Dublin have a great team, and they are not done yet. They will win 2/3 of the next 5 All Irelands. If Mayo win Sam, they have played more football to do so than any other team in the entire history of the Championship. They will also have taken out Kerry and Dublin on the way. Thoroughly, thoroughly deserving of Sam if they pull it off. Don't get me wrong, I'll be gutted if it happens. Gutted. But I would not begrudge them it. It will well and truly have been fought for and earned. Jaden (Dublin) - Posts: 139 - 14/09/2017 14:16:10 2045974 Link 0 |

There not a snowballs chance in hell of Mayo winning this one! Dubs by 5 plus and and gambling man on here get on the handicap. Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 14/09/2017 15:55:31 2046018 Link 3 |
Ah here stop it lads, I don't even like Mayo in the sambo's. witnof (Dublin) - Posts: 1604 - 14/09/2017 16:15:19 2046023 Link 0 |
Well Mayo have their victory parade planned out down to the minute. There's talk of a couple of players getting t-shirts printed with 'All Ireland Champions 2017' for them to wear after the match also. bangbang (Dublin) - Posts: 113 - 14/09/2017 17:48:56 2046054 Link 1 |
But I already have my ticket. I might go anyway....

That's the spirit. Some of them other Dub lads look like they're mellowing a little, which probably comes from consistently beating us over the last few years. Printed tee shirts you say, just the motivation Jim needs. We're rightly f***** now.

Im sure dublin have too, along with every other team that has contested an All Ireland final. Cant just throw things like these together in 24 hrs notice. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 14/09/2017 21:14:00 2046108 Link 0 |
Lads just a sidenote on the match. While I have great respect for Jim Gavin and what he has done I do find some of the stuff he comes out with pure muck. There was his weird interview post Connolly suspension when he kept mentioning the word Republic over and over and then the rubbish last week going into depth about why he never holds or poses for photos with Sam Maguire. This was followed by the usual guff of people saying that sums up what Jim is all about, nothing is about him. I just laugh at the people who buy into this mince. And since his interview people have been posting tonnes of photos with Jim posing holding Sam, can't beat the banter. Anyway I haven't been taking part in the pre match analysis on here as last year was nothing short of childish. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7896 - 15/09/2017 08:03:44 2046136 Link 1 |
So who marks Brogan when he comes on??? Because he destroys Mayo every time. Nobody fit to handle him. Inaroundehouse (Cavan) - Posts: 975 - 15/09/2017 10:25:51 2046163 Link 0 |
