Surprisingly don't feel too nervous at the moment. Looking forward to the weekend though. I'll probably be a bag of nerves on the day, but not feeling too bad right now.

For some reason the fact we seem to be given little hope has allowed me to possibly see the age of 60 without a heart attack.
That said been up on top of the hill come 3.30 next Sunday the heart rate will be hitting 190 at times!

It's been quieter than usual alright. But saying that, I've been trying to ignore all build up, too much talking can be done and we've heard it all before.

I think people have a quiet sense of confidence though. We're all in the dark as to what Mayo team will show up, how we'll line up and what kind of performance they're capable of producing because there's nothing to look back on, except the lads just doing enough and moving onto the next game. I'll definitely be optimistic heading up Sunday, it's not an impossible task ahead of us. There's a complete performance in this Mayo team, if Rochford gets the match ups right, we get a bit of luck then we've every chance. In saying that, If we don't do it - I don't think we'll be as devastated as we have been in losing previous finals.

Just learnt of the death of a young man at home, we always got the "Ann Baynes Bus" from Westport which his brother drives and himself and his Dad always were on. Really has shocked the town and all of us who travelled around the country on that bus. Sunday will be incredibly sad now. RIP son.

Been on that bus a few times for league games. I read an older man passed away during the week that was always on that bus too.

R.I.P, puts it all into perspective.

Ya Jonny passed away indeed. Himself and his wife were terrific unassuming people. He will be greatly missed also.

Great podcast.

Really sums up my own feelings on the game, that cautious optimism based on tje notion that Mayo are a far smarter, far more balanced team this time round, and that Donegal and Kerry have shown us how Dublin are vulnerable.

Maybe all BS and they lose by 14 but one can only hope.

Would you think this is the last year for all 3? Or will they be playing for Mayo next year? Or does that depend on the result?

Win or lose, I feel it could definitely be Dillons last year. Higgins has a few years left in him yet and I'd say Moran would hang on for another year as well especially since he has the gym now so that would help him keep the fitness up.

Time is of the essence though,. These lads have given up their lives for a long long time so hard to see how they could go on much longer!

Have meet him a good few times over the years and has always came across as sound, for obvious reasons at this stage the Mayo fans hate him on the field though.

In my honest opinion. I think Mayo's chances of winning are slim to none. Dublin are a far superior team and should retain their title.
I think we could see the highest winning margin of victory in an all Ireland final for 8 years.

Kerry beat Cork by 10 points in 07, Since then 4 points has been the widest margin.


I'll go for a 6/7 point win for Dublin.

McGuinness has a good article in the Times today. The general consensus by many of the various articles is that Mayo can beat Dublin, that we need to have many things to go right and that we have to bring something new.
The closer I get the less I have of an idea. I keep hearing that Rochford is an astute tactician, I think the same can apply to J Gavin. In fairness this winning streak they have is top notch and the fact we haven't beaten Dublin since 2012 is something they will have at the back of their mind.

Worst case we collapse, we come out of a 10 point loss, worst worse case we lose by a point again.
Best case everything for once comes good for us, no early goals conceded, no balls bouncing over the bar, no silly sending offs, no dropping the ball into the keepers hands, press up on the kickouts and drive at the Dubs at every chance. Flood the defence and frustrate.

If we won, I genuinely have zero idea of how I'd react the U21 and Minor and Senior league wins were epic, for my Dads sake and his mate the possibility of attending finals is diminishing rapidly, from him bringing me and my siblings and then my turn to drive them around the country to when the car was too low and moved to bus, now after hip ops the bus is too tight and all that is left is the train. With sticks now in hand these lads who for me and many of my friends involved in schools and club football are the corner stone of why we played, stayed playing and followed Mayo all over the country. They've never been to a Mayo senior team winning an AI final, both were too young for the 51 game to be able to go, after 8 (including replays) finals and no wins, to steal the phrase "To win just once".

I'm going to sign off out of here as my passion could turn into a heart attack the closer we get. Hope ye all enjoy the game, I'm hoping not to be on here for a week.

"just once!"

Getting there too Yop. Lots of fairweather lads on now churning out the same old stuff, I've become one too.

It's always been close between the two teams nothing points at anything different.

Good luck lads. That Mayo podcast last night summed up most things for me too.

I still get annoyed when lads that should know better talk about Keegan's miss last time out, in fairness to him and McCarthy the ball was half blocked.

Maybe Enda might cement his legacy by extending the royal/grand canal to castlebar,thereby opening up a route direct to the Davin standMite take 2 weeks to get there but it'd be some craic on the way home if we won.

I see the forecast is poor for Sunday at the present time.What is the consensus re it's likely affect on the match outcome?TBH I hope it's spilling rain... LOL..Half in jest I say same but I think a lower scoring,attritional contest might give us a better chance.As Prouddub may not get his wish for our Aido to dragged all over the park.

Dublin fared quite well with same last September and ground out a victory against us in league in the midst of the monsoon season in February.

maximus15

There is no doubting on form this year, Mayo should lose this by least 6 points!!
But there is plenty of members of this squad who know that games are not won on past form.
If that was the case we wouldn't have beat reigning all Ireland champions Cork in 2011 or the Dubs in the epic 2012 semi final so belief wont be lacking in our Boys.

Add in the likes of diarmuid, Cohen, Hall and Loftus who have been in an All Ireland Final with minors in 2013 ( Conor Lane refereed that game!!) and came away that day with winners medal and same lads tasted success with under 21s this year so they know whats it is like to be winners in Croker on finals day and wont want the losing feeling anytime soon.

Finally Rocheford brought a well drilled Corofin team to Croke Park on Paddys Day 2015 and on his first attempt in a final as manager, brought the cup down west. Mcentee of course a winner from his Armagh days.

There is plenty of winners in this mayo squad and on the line, along with the experienced players who may have not won a final yet but know how to win games when very few have given them a chance in the past in some big days in Croker.

This combination should be good enough to have us all leaving Croke Park on Sunday evening with a feeling we have waited all our lives to experience!!

Bring it Home Lads!!!

I would love to see Mayo win Sunday and there is always a chance in a two horse race. Everything you have said above is true and may come to pass except the bit about The club final. Corofin should have one an all ireland a year or so before they did. They had the best club panel in the country for 5 years but it took Rochford to channel everything in the right direction. But they were overwhelming favourites to win that final once Vincent's were beaten.

But I hope he is a lucky general for Mayo. It won't be for lack of preparation. He is exceptional and if he doesn't win this Sunday, he will deliver in the next few years. But this Dublin panel is so strong and Mayo just have not played for any great spell in any game this year.

Mayo by two so!!!!

Fr Tod Umptious

Really enjoyable piece from Malachy Clerkin in the IT this week

All-Ireland final: A Mayo win means all we know is wrong

What will we do with ourselves if Mayo win on Sunday? Anybody thought of that? We can spend the week mulling over the various ifs and ands and wherefores but has anybody really allowed themselves a minute to consider the consequences of Cillian O’Connor lifting Sam? These are volatile times and serious men ought to give this some thought.
Imagine living in a world where Mayo were All-Ireland champions. We would have to decommission the term marquee forward. Somebody call up the OED and tell them to get their Tipp-Ex out. From this point on, you only get to say “marquee forward” when you’re directing someone who is baloobas drunk around the Electric Picnic by the elbow.
Mayo, God Help Us? That would have to go too. What would we do then? Roscommon, God Help Us doesn’t have the same ring. Galway, God Help Us sounds like a craft beer. One of those 6.3 per cent by volume ones that leaves you bent double over the bowl crying for your maker the following morning.
The Saw Doctors would have a bit of tweaking to do as well. Some of the lyrics of The Green And Red Of Mayo are frankly unbecoming of All-Ireland champions. Soft and craggy bogland is the sort of put-upon, woe-is-us imagery that sits just about right with perennial nearly men. Fair to say it doesn’t scream champions.
If that’s the first line you’re using to define the landscape, think about the message it sends. You’re basically saying, “Sure how can we ever hope to be anything – look where we grew up.” You think Diarmuid Connolly ever had to kick points off soft and craggy bogland? Or Stephen Cluxton run a kick-out drill? Think again, pal.

Brown envelope
If there was soft and/or craggy bogland anywhere in Dublin, the Corpo would have zoned it decades ago, some developer would have stuffed a brown envelope, some councillor would have had a word, some votes would have been cough-coughed through and some 400 families would be crying to Joe Duffy every winter when the floods come. Tell you what wouldn’t be happening – there wouldn’t be some soppy ballad raining down from the stands in Croker about it.

So that would have to be given a quiet burial. And The Curse, obviously. We’d have to pull stumps on The Curse of ’51. The one apparently imposed by a priest giving a funeral in Foxford who took umbrage at the homecoming in 1951 and the team’s overly loud yahooing as they passed through town while he was conducting his business. Father Crankypants shook his fist and said as long as they all shall live, Mayo will never win another All-Ireland.
All nonsense, of course. That said, they might just take the view though that you can’t be too careful. Put it this way – whoever was deciding the route home on Monday would want to be checking the local notices for any funerals in Foxford on the way back west. Tell the driver to steer well clear of any potentially grumpy priests. Like, Swinford clear.
Imagine there happened to be one. Some poor soul who passed on over the weekend and didn’t even get to see them win the bloody thing. Lying in repose in Foxford on Monday when the local padre gets word that the cup is coming. What happens next?
Who tempts fate in those circumstances? That was a long old 65 years, chaps – anyone feel like chancing 65 more? Thought not. Trappist monks at a silent disco would make more noise than you’d hear on the Mayo bus as it passed through the town. Somebody would have to sedate Lee Keegan with a tranquiliser gun. And they would, too.
Mayo as All-Ireland champions. How will we cope? We won’t have Nixon to kick around anymore. No more jokes about the gang that couldn’t shoot straight. No more sad heroes. We’ll never hear Ciaran McDonald’s name again. Liam McHale can go back to being an ex-basketball star. Pat McEnaney can go to Westport on holiday.
Dinner dance
Will Galway bate Mayo? Doesn’t matter, Willie Joe or no. They’re All-Ireland champions and managed to throw Galway an oul’ win along the way just to get their hopes up. That will fairly take the legs out from under the end-of-year Galway GAA dinner dance. Maybe they’ll get Aidan O’Shea along to hand out the Connacht medals.
Ah here, this is starting to get scary. Mayo as overlords. Mayo as the guy who gets the girl. Mayo played by George Clooney instead of Paul Giamatti. Everything we know will be wrong.

Famine
If Mayo win the All-Ireland, who will we cry about then? Whose famine do we adopt as our own? Cavan haven’t won since 1952, Roscommon since 1944, Kildare since 1928. Sure when will any of them be in a final again? Or anywhere close to one? Mayo are interesting because Mayo, like the poor, are always with us. But if they win the All-Ireland, will they even be Mayo anymore?
These are questions of philosophy, of psychology, of theology almost. Nearly makes you hope for a Dublin win, just so we don’t have to delve too deep into them.

Very sad to hear of the passing of Greg Maher after a long illness. Played for Mayo along with his brother Sean. Had the pleasure of having a pint with him after the drawn game with Dublin last year, absolute gentleman. R.I.P. Greg.

WesternZulu

I have a feeling Mayo will win it...no sense, logic or reason behind that thought.

Dublin have won the last 4 All-Ireland finals they have played in, Mayo have lost the last 7 they have contested.
Surely the law of averages would suggest that the run of fortune in finals for both teams would have to break at some point. Let's hope it happens Sunday!

Wasn't Sean a late call up to the team in the 1989 final or was it Greg ?

A little before my time but Sean definitely played in the final I'm sure. We had the video of that game when I was young, watched it umpteen times.

Dick phelan

I'm neutral well i'm not from Mayo or Dublin but would love to see Mayo win on Sunday, realistically the game is not as clear cut as most are saying, a year ago Mayo should have beaten Dublin in the replay and of course drew the first day, the gap has surely not got so wide in the space of a year that Mayo can't win. Dublin are heavy favorites and based on form they deserve to be, Mayo have managed to get to an AI final without playing to 80% of their potential, usually there's been lots of hype about Mayo when they head into an AI final and ended up peaking in the QF or SF, this year might well be the year Mayo get it right in the final, nobody expects them to win but they are certainly capable of doing so. Would love to see ye list Sam on Sunday above any other county in hurling or football ye deserve it.

Hi everybody, Was meant to have two tickets in my hand today but that went ar*e ways and now have none. I have attached a screenshot of my season ticket from last year to show you that I am actually a genuine proper fan. Reason the season ticket wasn't renewed is because it was setup up on an email address which I stopped using so ended up missing the deadline.

The link shows attendance at 83% but it was actually higher because one of the games didn't record. That works out at an attendance of 11 out of 12 matches.

Basically if anyone here feels that at any stage before Sunday you might have the slightest chance of coming across a spare ticket then please please could you pm me so that I could send you my number!

Really really worried that I won't get one now so if there is any hope at all then please please pm me.

Thanks,
