In Ulster Mans logic Jim corr is absolutely right and of course the devinci code was a true life story. Just they left out the southern partitionist conspiracy led by the media to wipe ulster of the map ala Simpson movie.

'It should NEVER be forgotten that Mayo are the MASTER BOTTLERS when push comes to shove at the business end of tournaments so why should Sunday be any different? I really can't see them bullying Tyrone who sill try to stifle Mayo's quick gameplan. It will also be interesting to see the cynical foul count and wonder will Mayo get pulled up for their antics as well? I don't think so because the South is massively hoping for a Mayo win.'

Couple of points in response to this:

1. Mayo do indeed have a wretched record in All-Ireland finals. However, their record in semi-finals at HQ is excellent, so I wouldn't expect a lack of big match mentality to be an issue on Sunday.

2. If you want to get into history, Mayo put away Tyrone in the knockout stages in 1989 and 2004. However, this doesn't really have much bearing on what's going to happen on Sunday.

3. Your last sentence suggests that those renowned innocents from Ulster need to be rescued from Big Bad Mayo. Poor WUM.

For what it's worth, I expect to see a tough and hard fought game on Sunday, with a lot riding on who wins the battle between the 45's. Mayo by 1-3 points.

Mayo this, Mayo that. The reality is that there is very little between the teams. 51 and others are talking very confident talk, if they are correct, well gud luck to them. But if they are not, I wonder will we see them around the forums much after sunday...

Tyrone should wind Mayo up big time on Sunday; get right in their faces, goad them, antagonise them, hit them a few hard whallops in the early mins and ask their players how many All Ireland medals they have. The media are going to bad mouth Tyrone anyway so they may as well actually do something to earn the abuse.

Mayo by 5. Realistically is there anything in that Tyrone full forward line to trouble players of the calibre of Cafferkey and Higgins? I don't think so especially without Penrose. I think Mayo will have too much up front for Tyrone as well. Sean Cavanagh stood out in the qualifiers and the quarter final as the talisman. However, he will have no such impact against this opposition at this level as his threat will be negated by Aidan O'Shea who should dominate the skies.

Not a bit like me saddam, I might be around the forums, but I never said this year or last year that we were going to hockey anyone before a game.

Make sure there's a nurse standing by 51; Tyrone boys aren't like you lot; they don't turn their back and run away.

good boy Ulsterman. Great to see your support of your fellow provincial men. Donegal already tried your suggested tactics and they lost 4-17 to 1-10. If I was a neutral, I'd be advising Tyrone to try something different. Mayo are a more physical team so hitting them won't be of much use. It'll play right into Mayo's hands. Mayo to win by six +. Oh the green and red of mayo.............

How do you goad an ilk?
What is an ilk?
Is this some obscure Mayo custom or ritual?
I think we should be told.

Like everything thats went on the last 2 months and the whole circus around Tyrone closer I get to the game more confident I get. All the mayo men on here trying to mouth about your chances Tyrone will be coming to this ready for a war! If we get on top in first 10 mins I can see Mayo crumble. We will do our talking on the pitch come Sunday. This feels like 08 again before we played Dublin

Well ye have being doing plenty of talking off it. Supporters will always mouth of on an Internet forum don't you know? Mayo team have been very quietly working away. If ye beat us then it will be because Tyrone were the better team on the day. I think if we perform to our full ability then we will win by 3-4 points.

Far too many spiteful comments on here now, mostly from posters we expect but some from posters who really should know better than to get sucked into these types of 'discussions'. I realise that the nearer we get to Sunday the more the nerves and adrenalin kick in but for the sake of civility lets keep it to the football and lets not besmirch each others county's and come Sunday evening, regardless of the result, be you victor or vanquished, try and retain some class.

Loving the confidence/arrogance from mayo posters. While I do think mayo will come out the other end of this, anyone that thinks it will be more than a couple of points is deluded. Like another poster has said, I get more confident the closer we get as if there's at least a smidgen of that arrogance within mayos panel then they are there for the taking. And in relation to Aidan o Shea ruling the skies, we certainly won't be aiming our lockouts his direction, and on their own I would imagine we will stick our three biggest nuisances in as close proximity to him as possible. Would like to see big joe on him if he's fit.

Ulsterman, if anyone came on and said about tyrone, or an ulster side, what you are saying about mayo now, you would be crying your eyes out about biases and conspiricies. You are the guy with the bias, an anti-southern bias, not to mention a total hypocrite. From now on, any time you mention a bias I will be referencing this thread and these comments.

redhanddefender, if you are relying on mayo to crumble if they are behind after 10 minutes to win this game then save your money and stay at home.

If mayo have a man sent off early in the game this will suit tyrone, something i'm sure mickey harte will be coaching.
mayo need to keep their heads, i think they will.
mayo to win.
cant wait for this game ticket for hogan on its way...

Ulsterman the whole world knows Tyrone will try and get in their faces and frustrate them, god I hope James Horan sees your posts, just in case he is the only man in Ireland that won't be aware of the tactics.
