Do we think that Tony McEntee could add the mental strength needed for this Mayo team to reach the holy grail? He has been there done that with Crossmaglen and an Armagh team that were massive underdogs against a hot Kerry team back in 02. Mayo's mental strength has always let them down on key occasions. Maybe he could be the difference in that respect? Brolly (Monaghan) - Posts: 4472 - 31/08/2016 21:15:15 1908863 Link

Wasn't much mental strength on show against tyrone in the final minutes ...plenty of luck tho And if mayo get over the line luck will play a big part in it rossy15 (Roscommon) - Posts: 616 - 31/08/2016 21:29:17 1908867 Link

With all the psycho whatsits that are about the last few years I'm sure if there was any mental strength going around our lads would have got some. What he has done though is contributed to stopping us conceding silly goals which have cost us dearly in the past. Whether he can help to stop Brogan getting his usual goal or two against us remains to be seen. Glad to have him on the sideline though.

I wouldn't except any praise from Roscommon if we do manage to win Sam anyway. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11227 - 01/09/2016 09:48:58 1908961 Link

Firstly let me say...... I would love to see Mayo win Sam this year.....However they wont. I can only see Dublin winning this by 6+. I wouldn't put Dud money on Mayo with the bookies no matter the price offered. I will happily come on here post AI final and eat humble pie but for my money the Final was last weekend, and I would have had the same opinion if we beat Mayo and progressed to the Final (maybe not +6). Dublin are operating at a different level and if McEntee can bridge that gap then he's a better man that I give him credit for Tyrone Gaa (None) - Posts: 403 - 01/09/2016 11:39:42 1909053 Link

Mayo were within a whisker of getting into the last two All Ireland's and who knew what would have happened if they got there in 2015 or 2014 they had a more favourable draw this year and took full advantage of it. I don't think it's McEntee as I think they have the players there and Dublin always find it difficult against Mayo . McEntee is no miracle worker he did well with Cross as the players were there just like with Mayo, he managed Brigids in Dublin for a few years and did nothing except take money and not fulfill in results. dubshurling7 (Dublin) - Posts: 1017 - 30/09/2016 16:27:33 1920925 Link
Listen if Mayo win Rochord McEntee Buckley etc will be called geniuses but in reality Mayo over the last 5 years have been easily good enough just very unlucky. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 30/09/2016 17:32:11 1920942 Link
It was a bad week-end for Tony with both Mayo and Cross gone. Might he get a call home? The black and Amber will be missed for many months 19616609 (Louth) - Posts: 1595 - 03/10/2016 12:46:51 1921848 Link
