You could well be right. I think Mayo might keep the margin a little tighter, but a 6-point win wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

The pundits miss the key point on dublin kickouts.

You win games by putting your scores back to back.

You get the opportunity to do that by winning the opposition kickout.

Dublin let no opposition side have soft kickouts.

This killed tyrone.

This is what keeps mayo in the game. They can win their own kickout.

I don’t know about that - Fenton did rack on Clarke’s kickouts in the first game last year, esp whenever he tried to go long

Good news for mayo backers

It must be a worry for Dublin having to wait until the All Ireland Final to face their first serious test of the year.

8891

There’s no guarantee they’ll even get one Sunday either though. If it’s the Mayo we saw in July or first day v Rossies then it’ll be over early.

Dublin invariably always play scratchily in the All Ireland Final. They have in the last 13 anyway. 1977 the last commanding performance they delivered in an All Ireland final.

8893

The final was played in august that year too in all reality

8894

Whatever about the de facto All Ireland final of 1977 played in August 1977, the 2017 final is on Sunday. Tyrone 2017 are no Kerry 1977.

8895

Mayo are unchanged for Sunday

8896

I doubt anyone suggested they were

8897

How do you know it’s a serious test? …tyrone were going to be a serious test…then the ref threw the ball in…so now by default Mayo become the new serious test…

8898

First blunder. I’d have started Paddy Durcan at wing forward ahead of Diarmuid O’Connor. Big engine, can take a score and harder grafter.

8899

Could be a dummy team?..

You seemed to be insinuating that Dublin v Tyrone was the de facto final of 2017. Mayo are miles ahead of Tyrone.

8901

To be fair plenty knew Tyrone weren’t going to be a serious test.

I dunno how you managed to take that from my statement tbh. Too doesn’t mean as well in that context

8903

Oceans ahead of them.

8904

Who knew one point was multiple oceans.

DO’C?
Boxty i have alot of time for you and indeed your football views and experience, but jesus thats mad. Ok he wasn’t amazing for a good while but he has been huge in last few games. He is also extremely crafty and drifts brilliantly, something different Mayo (or anyone) needs against the Dubs
