No sign of Mchale either

tanko · 10-09-2021 9:39pm

I know it’s a really long shot but i’d love to get a ticket if anyone ends up with a spare tomorrow.

Praise be to the sweet baby jebus!! The Miracle has happened and ticket is in hand. I won't sleep a wink tonight! Still some tickets to be had in the morning I reckon.

Great news Western,

I've given up hope at this stage have never seen the phone so quiet the nite before a final, I'm resigned to the TV with the Aul man who brought me to my first final in 89 and again in 96 and 97. If we do get over the line tomorrow we'll be cracking open a bottle of black barrel and talking **** till the early hours.

Enjoy the game lads. C'mon Mayo

john9876 · 10-09-2021 11:19pm

From a Kerryman I sincerely hope you reach the promised land tomorrow night.

I don't think any other county has shown such Lazarus like resilience to keep coming back for more.

I hope by the time the weekend is over that, from Achill to Castlebar, there isn't a silage pit with a tyre left on it.

yop · 10-09-2021 11:20pm

I think this is the list left. Apologize if I missed any

Hi guys, Tyrone man here, just looking in to wish you all the best tomorrow & hope that everybody enjoys their day (draw only way that can happen!). Anyway, may it be a good sporting game with players and supporters remembering it for all the right reasons. May the best team win & I hope it’s Tyrone & if it’s not I hope we have the good grace to genuinely congratulate you.

yop · 10-09-2021 11:23pm

Enjoy the game. I really feel we have this in our own hands but it could need ET.

If we don't concede early goals or better none, then we have a strong chance. Composure is key and this team have shown they have it in spades.

Hoping we get over the line. Lucky enough to be bringing the 2 lads who took me to matches for the last 42 years and who I've sat with at or at least travelled with to each of these AI finals.

#towinjustonce.

Fiyatoe · 10-09-2021 11:34pm

All the best lads, always had a soft spot for Mayo .

lifelong Tyrone fan here, been saying it the past 2 weeks; as much as we don’t want to lose- if there was one county we wouldn’t mind losing to it would be Mayo. Great supporters, always friendly and up for the craic.

no doubt there’ll be plenty of laughs before and after with a few sprites in around drumcondra tomorrow .

may the best team win!

Fair play to you guys.Down through the years I've always found the Tyrone support sound out.Shall be catching up with several classmates from the Red Hand county at a college reunion come December.

Here's hoping it's a cracker and may the best team win.

Hopefully on this occasion the green and red.

blockfighter · 11-09-2021 12:57am

It's officially match day. Not sure how I'll get any sleep tonight. This is the best day of the year. Screw Christmas. Hope it's a belter of a game. Wherever ye all end up watching it enjoy every second of it. If you're lucky enough to have a ticket make sure you leave Croker hoarse from shouting. Party in my house in Dublin if we win :D

Fr Tod Umptious · 11-09-2021 1:11am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117875213#Comment_117875213

Yes, match day.

I just feckin hope this is the one.

All the last few weeks I've been seeing the future of this evening, Mayo winning the game and all that will come with it.

But then I think of the utter anticlimax if they don't win it.

This time they are favorite, this time they should won it, this time it's in their hands.

I just hope they do it.

happyoutscan · 11-09-2021 1:21am

Nothing, but ready and togged for morning just in case. Mayo abu.

2018na · 11-09-2021 6:29am

todays the day lads. Thanks so much to this mayo team for giving Ireland back it’s biggest day. Imagine Dublin going for seven in a row today,there would be barely anybody watching instead we have this occasion to look forward to. I think ye are gonna win well 4to6 points maybe. Tyrone needed 3 goals to beat Kerry just don’t let that happen and your superior footballers will win out. CMON MAYO let Ireland all remember where we were on September 11 2021

4Ad · 11-09-2021 6:31am

Plenty of Mayo flags flying in our small ( hurling ) village in East Clare..

I'll be roaring ye on...Go on Mayo !!

spakman · 11-09-2021 6:45am

I'm awake and getting impatient and anxious.

Those driving up from Mayo are lucky - they have the drive up to occupy them.

I'm already in Dublin - is it too early to start making my way into town? ;)

seligehgit · 11-09-2021 6:50am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117875393#Comment_117875393

TBH I'd say it's far too early to head into town.

seligehgit · 11-09-2021 6:56am

It's matchday.

Nerves are in bits.

Nothing more to say other than to wish the lads the very best of luck today.

Hoping they'll edge it by the odd score.

Maigheo Abu!

Westernyelp · 11-09-2021 7:02am

Wide awake and ready for road. Its a familiar feeling. But somehow different this time. Come on Mayo! This is the day!!

yop · 11-09-2021 7:07am

Aye. Can only imagine the player's 😝

happyoutscan · 11-09-2021 8:17am

Stay safe everyone traveling.

PressRun · 11-09-2021 8:18am

Match day at last.

Feels like everything has been analysed to death. Just wishing the lads the very, very best of luck. Would love nothing more than a dull game for the neutrals where we run away with it, but it feels like it will be much closer than that.

I really hope this is it. It's as good a chance as we've had in a really long time, hope we take it with both hands.

Maigh Eo abú.

irishgeo · 11-09-2021 8:22am

a lot of the pundits saying it's too close to call but leaning slightly towards mayo.

not heading up without a ticket so if something doesn't come up in the next few hours , I'll be heading for my backup plan of a pub in Westport. I'm not hopeful.

seligehgit · 11-09-2021 8:29am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117875507#Comment_117875507

Hope a ticket turns up for you.Ditto all the other Mayo Boardsies.

Blessed to get one but none of my family managed to get one.

Anyhow it's a glorious morning in the west.

Safe travels to all.

Forecast is for some sunshine this morning.

Cloudier this afternoon in Dublin with a passing shower.

Sounds like pretty ideal conditions for the lads.

padd b1975 · 11-09-2021 9:38am

This is torture.

kippy · 11-09-2021 9:40am

Safe trip to anyone lucky enough to be travelling.

Fairly confident and excited for today. Best of luck to the team and thanks for everything no matter the result!

I got sorted so you can take me off the list, thanks

11-09-2021 9:49am

In true Mayo style, I think they will win by one late point.....

in extra time........

of the replay.

km79 · 11-09-2021 10:55am

This is it

11-09-2021 11:20am

For those of you with tickets, enjoy, I feel this is it!

Everyone else, wherever you are, try to find a few Mayo people to watch it with.

And a reminder for those of us living outside the county with non Mayo spouses, if we do it don’t tell them it’s the best day of your life, second or third maybe, and if they press the issue change to subject because they will catch us in a lie

franklyon · 11-09-2021 11:21am

Safe travels to all, think of us poor unfortunates without tickets and shout twice as loud.

Dexpat · 11-09-2021 11:21am

Best of luck Mayo. I mainly follow the hurling but I heard you haven't won it in a while. Won't say you deserve it because you have to earn it but think you might do it.

11-09-2021 11:29am

Best of luck Mayo today from a tipp man.the fact it’s Tyrone ye are playing I hope to god ye get the job done.

Joe Don Dante · 11-09-2021 11:36am

He is if he's wrong but here's hoping he's not.

Just arrived in Dublin. A little cloudy but not too bad at all.

Joe Don Dante · 11-09-2021 11:42am

lucky for some. enjoy

Cartman78 · 11-09-2021 12:21pm

At an U9 soccer match with my young fella down here in Limerick....nearly glad to have something to distract me for an hour or two.

He has a Mayo jersey on underneath his team kit :-)

ShamoBuc · 11-09-2021 12:30pm

Is it 5 O'Clock yet??

Best of luck, enjoy the rollercoaster of emotions today!!

Beechwoodspark · 11-09-2021 12:36pm

All the best to Mayo today this Kildare Gael would love to see you do it

MayoForSam · 11-09-2021 12:38pm

Just after mowing the back lawn, nearly broke my heart because the grass was soaking, mower kept getting clogged but it took my mind off the game for a while.

No ticket alas but heading down to a pub in my old Mayo home town this afternoon, meeting the brother and a few mates. My son and daughter, although Galway by birth, have been successfully 'indoctrinated' over the years so they're also tagging along and will be honary Mayo people for the day.

It's been a long road, lots of ups, some downs, trips to Croker, meeting old acquaintances, lonely return journeys back home, but always ready for another go and so here we are.

I've a feeling this team won't let us down, nice blend of experience, fearless youth and a wiser Horan at the helm. Maybe AOS will surprise us all, have a stormer and shoot the lights out, that would be the icing on the cake.

I might even have to change my username, it's way overdue.

Yeah just arrived.

Lovely day.

Warm and quite humid.

Lukekul · 11-09-2021 1:13pm

Obviously we all hope for a win today, the only way it could be improved for me, is if Aido has a game we know he's well capable of.

Fans from other counties will never accept how good he is, but it would be nice to shut up many of our own who get on his back at the drop of a hat.

flasher0030 · 11-09-2021 1:13pm

Getting the good wishes of other counties is absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much for the good wishes.

I know some people think that the average Mayo supporter is a bit annoying and has a bit of arrogance. I genuinely don't think it's arrogance. I think maybe it more of a naïve fake confidence. That we want to be the elite, but we kinda like the elephant in the room cause it's been 70 years, whereas most of the better teams have obviously won it a lot more recent.

Anyway, here's hoping that today will get rid of the talk about 70 years and the curse etc. And we can stand proudly as one of the elite.

Cant wait. Getting ready to head over to Croke Park - soak up the pre-match atmosphere. Enjoy it everyone.

interlocked · 11-09-2021 1:17pm

Every Mayo person in Croke Park today represents tens of thousands scattered across the globe and the rest of the county roaring the team on from home.

We are their voice today.

If we don't leave Croke Park today without being completely hoarse, we won't have done our job.

Time to finish this.

Up Mayo.

km79 · 11-09-2021 1:23pm

I’ve seen one Tyrone top so far

we have hoovered up the tickets again

Bunny Colvin · 11-09-2021 1:29pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117876272#Comment_117876272

Yeah looks like we'll be outnumbering them big time today.
