My gut is telling me that it was a conspiracy theory between Mayo and Met Eireannn..... gormdubhgorm (Dublin) - Posts: 984 - 19/09/2016 20:57:32 1916607 Link 0 0 |
What are people's guts telling them about the replay?! CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 19/09/2016 21:12:38 1916624 Link 0 0 |
We fell for the guff, skullduggery and got into fights which took away our focus yesterday, it knocked us of our stride and couldn't play our natural game, very similar to the first semi game last year. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 3077 - 19/09/2016 22:04:13 1916670 Link 5 0 |
If I was confident before the last game, I'm even more confident now. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13505 - 20/09/2016 09:38:31 1916755 Link 6 0 |
I wasn't confident the last time around, just had a feeling a win for us wasn't going to be so clear cut, however I'm surprisingly confident for the replay, which is kind of odd considering how we played on Sunday. I think Mayo had their chance, if they couldn't beat a Dublin team that played that badly I don't see how they'll beat one that will majorly up their game. I think the underdogs gets one chance and they didn't take it. I know folk are saying a lot of Mayo players also need to up their game also so it's not going to be so clear cut but i just think that was them playing at far more intensity than we were and they still couldn't catch us. We'll bring more next week and I don't think their best will be enough. CroiGorm (Dublin) - Posts: 1547 - 20/09/2016 10:18:46 1916781 Link 0 0 |
would love to agree, but just cant see it happening ,too many Dublin players off form very hard to pick a winner, hope to god I'm wrong. superbluedub (Dublin) - Posts: 1889 - 20/09/2016 10:48:35 1916799 Link 0 0 |
I'd imagine we'd be back to normal the next day out unless Mayo have a whole new plan under their sleeve. There will be great expectation, both teams will go full throttle from the word go and both counties have the fitnesses levels to do it. Any injuries on either side after the first game?

I'm very confident as well we were shocking and still didn't lose the game. Big calls to be made but we have the right man to make them calls the next day. My only gripe with Sunday still was taking Kev Mac off for me he always have to be on the finish til full time wether that's Starting or coming on. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/09/2016 13:10:12 1916889 Link 5 0 |
At the moment my gut feeling is the same as it was before Sunday's game. hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 20/09/2016 13:47:23 1916908 Link 0 0 |
The Dubs have to stop giving Mayo handy tap over frees! Dublin gave Mayo to many handy frees in last years drawn match. Wexiko (Wexford) - Posts: 81 - 20/09/2016 17:13:10 1917036 Link 0 0 |

You know what Jimbo I think your right about starting O Gara he came on 3 years ago and cause them all sorts of trouble and people go on about our lack of size in defence well their pretty similar size wise to us and I don't think they've anyone that can match O Gara for strength and size in the full back line. Vaughan is the only one that's big but he's not a full back they won't risk him back there. I think it could be a move Jim will make. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 22/09/2016 07:51:01 1917803 Link 5 0 |
They can match us for speed but struggle badly with big men in front of the square He caused them all types of trouble in 2013 with his power and ball handling I think it's tailor made for EOG to have a much bigger influence and he should have been on sooner IMO jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 19760 - 22/09/2016 10:07:23 1917831 Link 3 0 |
By the way no one is talking about how much a loss James McCarthy was to our team on Sunday, Paddy did well when he came on but he would of done well anyway for someone else going off ,to lose McCarthy in such a battle was a huge blow to us. His defending and attacking and his leadership was big time missing in the second half he'll be like a new player for us Saturday week. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 22/09/2016 22:58:16 1918192 Link 5 0 |
Huge loss. Great to have him back. The hard decisions will be in the forwards. I think I would go with.... BB - DR - PA DC - CK - KM EOG is an option but you couldn't have him in there with Deano. Too little pace. I'd sacrifice Flynner, as much as it kills me. Flynner and Mannion would be massive off the bench. EOG and Costello great options too. Mayo can be opened up. We did it 3 times last week and at will in previous games. A drier day with lots of pace and off the shoulder running and we will do it again.
