Mod Note Post #1 - The 2022 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Nobody cares about all the finals ye lost but you're telling us about this "journey" what was won of relevance during this 10 year "journey"?

I'm a Galway Gaa fan. Hurling and football. I enjoy when we win. And hope when we lose it fades into the background quick enough. Only journey I'm on is up and down the M6. But each to their own.

Please, please, please stop the warblings. It's embarrassing. There are many other Mayo fans on here, myself included, and we are all getting stereotyped as having the same attitude.

Maybe I am wrong, but I’d say the vast majority of Mayo people will hope that Galway win on Sunday. Might not shout it from the rooftops though. But when it comes to throw-in time, and the games takes off, I would hope that we support our neighbours over a team that has won many, many times. I will be anyway. I hope to get a ticket for the match; and if I do, I might even throw on something maroon (won’t go so far as to buy the jersey). I’d definitely buy a scarf on the way in.

I wouldn’t be as thrilled as if my own county won it, but I would still be extremely happy for the Galway players and the fans. To say that you’d take the 4 or 5 All-Ireland losses over one win is an awful shambles thing to say. If someone said to you 10 years ago, that you have the choice – that you get to experience 5 All-Irelands in the next 10 years but you’re going to feel the disappointment of losing all of them; or you can get to one where your team will actually win it, you are saying that you would take that disappointment all day long – that horrible feeling when the final whistle ends and the opposition “anthem” comes on – generally Dublin in the Rare Auld Times I think. Crazy stuff.

Anyway, best of luck to the Tribesmen on Sunday. 

You wouldn't swap going up and embarrassing the province repeatedly in finals? Only playing one solitary sport and having a worse record in that sport than Wexford?

Galway have a similar number of Connachts recently as Mayo, have laid them to waste at underage and actually try their hand at other sports. We won't mention the difference in the All Ireland roll of honour, suffice to say you've humiliated yourself enough

I didn’t see it but apparentley hennelly was on to speak about abuse gaa players receive after matches and particular abuse he received after 2016 final … at the end of the day these lads are amateur and give of there time and effort for there county . They certainly shouldn’t have to put up with any abuse from anybody . So I think your post is a tad harsh .

I don't think Robbie Hennelly would have a choice about the timing of that. He wouldn't have approached RTE and advised them that he wants to go on Primetime to pour out his heart about abuse received.

On the contrary to your suggestion about timing, I think the lead up to the All-Ireland is the perfect time to discuss a very serious issue - as anything related to GAA football would be in the forefront of many peoples mind during this week.

If there's a replay will it be next weekend? Cheers

Only a replay of a draw after extra time . Would be in a fortnight.

10 years almost at the top has made ye the laughing stock of the GAA landscape.

I've been through years of almost at the top as a Limerick fan and none of it compared to 2018

That Connolly attempt from the sideline was absolutely brainless before Cillian’s point.

Never mind Mayo they are not playing in the AI final. What I want to know is how loud will you be shouting for Galway? I assume many other posters want to know the answer as well. At the very least you can claim the Finnerty connection!

Fret not fellow Mayo fans, even if Galway do win on Sunday, everybody will quickly forget about it like they did in ‘98 and ‘01. But they won’t, Sam Maguire will definitely be with Luke Skywalker on blasket island on Sunday night.

He is Austin Stacks nominated fir county captain, he was a minor enough squad player for Kerry but apparently was fantastic in the club championship. Unfortunately then he got a bad injury so hasn’t featured fir Kerry this year. Is Sean O’Shea captain?? O’Connor will still be on panel for Sunday so will probably be the 2 of them lifting it. Unless Darth Vader decides he wants to.

Ha Ha. No thanks.

Any teams named yet?
