You said he was finished. 2 months later he was picking up another All Ireland medal and cementing another All Star. Three years later, he’s still producing the goods after you told us he was finished.
I have been very reticent to write Mayo off this year despite their poor form. In fact I’ve tipped them to win every game so far. The age profile of both Kerry and Mayo’s squads are not encouraging. I would definitely have Tyrone ahead of Kerry at the minute as I would imagine most knowledgeable football fans would.
I think the big problem for Tyrone is they haven’t dealt with being favrouites in a big game against the other top four sides. I think they’ll beat the dubs. I’ll fancy them to beat kerry but I reckon they could lose to a written off mayo team.
Mayo are constantly written off. They were a wild price last weekend and 2/1 again this weekend. It’s absolutely nuts. I can’t understand they should be 11/8.
But if they get past Kerry, and face Tyrone, they’ll be meeting a side they beat in the semi final 12 months previously. They may not be favourites, but they won’t be written off, thats for sure.
Thats Kerry in the semi final though, you were speaking towards them being written off in an All Ireland Final against a Tyrone side they kept at arms length in last years semi final.
