In that case congratulations Dublin on reaching back to back finals!

Really nervous about Sunday, but here's hoping it will be another memorable match.

Safe travels everyone and let the best team win.

Hon Mayo!

Not good for Mayo RTE predictions are rarely right and another guy that tipped Mayo is Kevin Egan on Starbets he's wrong 99% of the time. I hope i'm wrong but i have a feeling the Dubs with Alan Brogan back will win i think it will be the opposite of 2006 with the Dubs winning by one point.

Darragh O'Se and David Brady picked the dubs, and they have been wrong all year also. Someone is going to break their duck!

I have never seen as many of the panelists/journos etc being so decisive of one side (Dublin) of course there is the very real possibility they will all be right.

All sunday game panel...Dublin

Chasmpionship matters last night all panelists......Dublin

tv3 Hayes, Brady....Dublin

Any journalist i have read all weeek.......Dublin

It is the obvious choice according to the betting but on form, i think they are wrong..........Mayo will win this, get on it at 9/4 it's a steal.

yes but most of these guys cover their own backsides when they give predictions its quite funny to hear the likes of tony davis last weekend give every reason why mayo can win the game and point out anything bad about dublin and then at the end of it all say dublin should win though

Hmmm, Michael Dara in the half forward line again? Stick Cahill on and put MDM in midfield with Bastick - drop Fennell in at 50 mins . Cant wait in fairness!

Not too many nerves evident amongst Dubs posters..? Whoever wins midfield will win this game, and maybe by a safer margin than a point or two. Pundits all seem to think that Mayo lost its teeth with Andy Moran missing out - the lads who've been picked have loads of talent and scoring potential, and will bust a gut to make up for Andy's loss. I think looking at our selection it'll be a case of closing down the kickouts, winning primary ball and letting it in low and quick or laying it off to the speed merchants in the hf line to have a run at the Dubs fb line - nothing fancy there. If Cluxton's kickouts have to be a key for Dublin being successful on Sunday, I'd worry if I was Dub, but maybe we'll see something new from Cluxton too? The Mayo lads will need to mark tight and beat whoever they're on to prevent soft possession. The talk about Alan Brogan is the only unsettling thing coming out of the Dubs camp. I think that Mayo should pay no attention to this at all - Dublin will start with 15 players and each one will have to be minded... who the individuals are is of no importance, they'll all be fit and Gilroy won't play anyone who isn't. There's a lot of BS about "if the Dubs bring their A-game"... the truth is if the Dubs lose no one will ever admit that they brought their A-game and it just wasn't good enough... ye're playing Mayo for God's sake lads and we only win when the opposition is below par (or we "catch" them). But I'm looking forward to Sunday... whatever else pundits or neutrals might say, Mayo and Dublin have a history of playing good games against eachother, and given a chance they both have very strong footballing instincts, so we should hope for some quality on Sunday. Whoever wins this s-f (particularly if it's Mayo) will have less hype attaching to them in the final what with all the spotlights on our friends from up the road, so let's hope for a good honest and hopefully open game, and best of luck to whoever comes out on top. I think out lads will do it and by about 4 or 5....
