Mayo are defending and they are attacking as a form of defense and I think in general they are better prepared and planned out than Dublin.

totally agree…rather bizarrely i still get the impression off Gavin that he is using this year as a learning curve for the future years… the only thing is Mayo haven´t been put on the back foot like dublin defence has in last 2 games…and no matter what anyone says thats an advantage to dublin…tyrone chipped away but never really peppered the goal like i think dublin will…
Ya, I have said from the start it seems he is doing the reverse of Donegal, building from the front. Bringing back a confidence and controlled arrogance that suits Dublin teams. It might seem obvious to say, but other Dublin managers have misread it, but Gavin really understands what make Dubs tick. He also know these lads well.
Dublin are better set up than Cork to utalize the young talent they have produced because of the positive environment they were brought into. Mayo similar. Both these teams have a chance to be very competitive for 4-5 years.
It’s hard to know where anyone else is. Cork will probably need a building year with a new manager, some freshness and a higher level of fitness.
Tyrone are hard to read. They don’t seem to have dominant central players coming thru. Loads of good ball players, but a lack of size.
Kerry are fucked. What clearly shows they are fucked is the lack of hunger and fight Darren and Declan O Sullivan are showing, Donaghy the same and nobody is putting them under pressure clearly. That’s the most obvious thing. The backs are in trouble, most of whom are only good club players now, Enright aside, maybe Crowley.
Donegal could make another burst but I have my doubts.
It should be Dublin and Mayo next 2 years at least. Whoever wins this one won’t win next year I’d say.
For the amount of dominance Mayo had against Tyrone in the midfield area, they did not look all that great up front. I thought Tyrone did well to limit them to 1-16 seeing as they were cleaned at midfield from the 20th minute onwards and were gifted 1-4 from the referee. They also had to rely on their defenders coming up with scores. I thought pretty much all the Tyrone defenders had the upper hand on their men and Freeman was the only Mayo forward who impressed.
Most of them don’t rely on them to come up with scores when they are struggling you imbecile. Launch another unprepared snipe like that at me again and I will stick you to the ground.
How fucking stupid are you, Fisty? Was I not clear enough when I said this - “Most of them don’t rely on them to come up with scores when they are struggling you imbecile” - Mayo had to rely on a corner back and wing back coming up and scoring three points when their forward line couldn’t buy a point from play.

Mother of fucking jesus.:rolleyes:
You’re saying that its some sort of strange phenomenon all of a sudden in Gaelic Football for a team to have defenders scoring points when forwards aren’t getting anywhere. They do, quite blindingly obviously, even for a thick, smelly, three day old shirt wearing, nordie wannabe dago, poor walter mitty, impotent moron like you.

For a team to have any aspirations of winning an All Ireland they can’t be relying on defenders to make up for their strikers shortcomings. Of course you can’t provide instances of anything otherwise as you are an imbecile.
What, like Dublin, Mayo, Tyrone, Donegal? What about Ryan McMenamin, Joe McMahon, Philip Jordan, Karl Lacey? How many do you want? Your argument is non sensical.
I asked for instances - not for names, you retard. We all knew you are thick as pig shit, now you’re just showing us that your comprehension skills are that of a mentally disabled goat.
When was the last time an inter county team who had aspirations of winning an All Ireland failed to have any of their forward line register a score from play in the first half of an All Ireland semi-final?
[quote=“croppy_boy, post: 825991, member: 306”]Tyrone set up to stifle the free scoring Mayo forwards. Their defence stepped up when they were needed.
Kerry used to react the same way with Tomas and Marc O Se and Aidan O Mahony getting forward and scoring - often against a stifling Tyrone side.[/quote]
How many times did Kerry win the All Ireland when they came up against Tyrone in the latter stages of an All Ireland?
