Twice this year Mayo struggled and AOS saved the day but thatâs glossed over as it doesnât fit the narrative.
Yes.
Club players are playing at a level way, way below what is required at the top level. All-Ireland semi-finals are wars.
Mayo tired badly in the last quarter of the replay against Dublin in 2015 and both teams tired in the 2014 semi-final replay. Mayo were out on their feet in extra-time.
Physically Mayo looked to have in an issue in the second half against Roscommon.
Part of that was probably mental but the mental side is connected to the physical side.
I expect it to be more of an issue for Mayo due to the way they play and their inferior panel depth.
Huh? Did you not spend most of the drawn game sniping at fellas here who got pre or mid match predictions wrong?
Imagine being Kevin. Which is he?
Self-forgetful or in agony all the time
From the neck on out down through his hurting forearms?
Are his fingers sleeping? Does he still feel his knees?
Or has the shut-eyed blank of underearth
Crept up through him? Is there distance in his head?
Alone and mirrored clear in loveâs deep river,
âTo labour and not to seek reward,â he prays,
Tyroneâs bench is very strong. No worries about thrusting any of them into action.
I think Conor Meyler will have an important role to play on Sunday. I have this feeling that Mickey hast been keeping a few players like Meyler, Richie Donnelly and the two Brennans back for this game.
Are club players not trained for club games and inter-county players not trained to be fit for inter-county games? Should be all relative, no?
Mayo do have a lot of mileage on the clock this year tho, whether that helps them mentally to dig deep remains to be seen.
I think we are going to do this.

Glass Houses
Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone
A mother is worthless, because she lives alone
A young man is branded, because a name of a street
Sneering of food banks, and the need to eat
Just hate him because of his love of a man
Leer at the beggar, who earns what he can
Twisting of young minds, with religious belief
Or instilling hatred, with patriotic, grinding teeth
Blame the junkie because of choices that were made
Ridicule the old as their looks start to fade
Show disdain as they pour on to our shores
Forget how we stole, what was theirs is now yours
Have hatred for the man who cant pay his rent
Scorn on the bum whoâs youth was misspent
Question a man because of the colour of his skin
Remove hospital care, till the fat man gets thin
Donât question my values till you analyse your own, for
Let he who is with out sin cast the first stone
Classic Tyrone 
The conteadiction within 8 words of each other there is beautiful. And there is absolutely no getting around it wither 
Not to mention excuses.
Cavanagh being sent off is Hartes fault. Obe of the fundamental challenges of coaching is disciing your team. Its as impirtant as tactics or kickong off your weak side.
Should a 6 day turn around have major effect on players? I presume they are conditioned for this?
Of course it is. Sid has zero appreciation of preparing teams
It may effect quality of game at some point but not massively either.
Mayo are clearly better conditioned
Really? 
If thatâs the case, Jim Gavin fails your test straight off, given Dublinâs continued indiscipline in major matches.
How do you âdiscâ your team, Kev?
Do you send them out with parking discs attached to their jerseys or something?
Perhaps you might disc yourself to avoid being continually clamped.
Yet Kerry outlasted them in 2014.
Yet you couldnât point it out.
When Cian ONeill was the coach
Walked into it
Anyone who reads it will know
That youâre a mentalist?
Enough said
