The 2024 All Ireland Senior Football Championship (Sam Maguire Cup)

Hi Jack 😉

Mayo are trying to beat roscommon for a 3rd time this year,that doesn't happen often.Im not a gambler but I see Mayo are favourites for this game somehow.....in Hyde Park.....with 2 of our best 3 players out for the season.

I hate to say it but I think roscommon will win this one.

Roscommon have had a really poor year. Poor league, anaemic display against Mayo in Hyde park in the championship. Another display going through the motions against the Dubs. It's hard to see where a performance will come from even against a faltering Mayo. They need to throw off the shackles and go for it. Davy Byrnes style is too safe for Roscommon who have the forwards to take anyone on in a shootout.

Yes,roscommon are sh1te and davey Burke has been fairly found out and I think he's lost the dressing room.However they are always up for playing Mayo and are targeting this game,if they have any pride at all they'll get a performance today and that could be enough to see off Mayo.If this was their first meeting this year I'd fancy Mayo (even with their injuries) but its a difficult ask to beat your local rival 3 times in a year.

Donnacha McHugh has destroyed Enda Smith in both games already, you would expect roscommon to have a plan for that this time around (if they don't that's fairly pathetic)

Moral can't be great in Mayo either having lost 2 of their best players (and captain) for the season in the space of a week.

Believe me,I hope I'm wrong on this but if I was a betting man this would be my tip of the day.

Is the radio cutting out for anyone else is it just me ?

Jimmy's losing matches.

Pity that Cork v Donegal game not on tv. Always had the look of a good game. Instead RTE decide to show Meath v Kerry tomorrow who nobody thinks will be in any way competetive.

I've always maintained Ulster teams are overrated. If u had Kerry or Dublin in Ulster it would be exactly the same as Munster and Leinster at present.

This mini league format suits them. They beat Louth and Mayo last year, and in between only lost to Kerry by two points.

They beat Roscommon in the Preliminary QF, but lost out to Derry in the QF.

Only the group winners get straight into a QF. Last years four Preliminary QF's were Galway v Mayo, Donegal v Tyrone, Cork v Roscommon and Monaghan v Kildare. With Dublin, Kerry, Derry and Armagh waiting for the winners. Take nothing for granted.

You know that GAA has well and truely given the fans the 2 fingers when you read on here a fan saying his radio is cutting out.

Ok thanks 👍

Cork are an odd team though. They could be brilliant one day and the next day you would wonder what they are at. The general football support in Cork reflects this as well (in my experience) they are sort of ambivalent to what happens.
