I fully agree with you Just highlighting there's nothing to "FEAR" Highly respect.. YES Have a good one jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20600 - 10/08/2019 12:18:22 2223332 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Ah don't be so aggressive out of that Dublin respect Mayo and rightly so, an excellent team. But fear them? I wouldn't think so but sure it wouldn't be the first outlandish claim aimed at them." What aggression . Im gauging both teams on knockout football against another sine 2012-2017 .. The stats point to the late benches contribution being the key difference between both groups over this period of time against each other. Your adding up every game to cast aside any idea of a potential /apparent upset that may happen today. Fear is a strong word i agree with but i didnt quote it.

Replying To cacsmckilly: "Hope this game isn't a damp squid, all the talk and opinion that Mayo are the team to shake up Dublin, talk like this going back even to last year. If Dublin tank Mayo it will seriously damage the GAA. Dublin think they get a hard time now about inequality of funding and so on, if they hand their Sam Maguire contenders a complete spanking it might lead to two Dublin teams or probably the most likely scenario it will lead to actual action on the funding issue. Mayo please don't bottle it" My friend, heres a stat for you Tyrone have played 8 games of championship knock-out rounds against Mayo/Tyrone/and Dublin sine 2010.. Guess how many victories Wee Micky and his troops pulled off against those 3 ? NB Youve played all 3 on more than one occasion......................

Durcan to wing forward to mark McCaffery Higgins in corner, Coen out to half back, Boland dropped I would say Coen to track Scully i think Keegan on Kilkenny Boyle has been sweeper and one of Sheas hold the 6 position but they will need to man mark Con so not sure what they will do. Rochford always got the match ups right and thats all we have to go by Horan will do his own thing and going by the past he his very hit and miss with his tactics tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 601 - 10/08/2019 12:39:06 2223341 Link

Now take a Look at Tyrone record against Mayo and Dublin since 2012. Tizcold (Galway) - Posts: 239 - 10/08/2019 12:52:28 2223347 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Fergal Boland on McCaffrey. Fergal is light but very quick and a serious engine on him." If Fergal starts. That Mayo HF line would be seriously disadvantaged physically vis-à-vis the Dubs HB line, plus Fergal wouldn't be likely to contribute too many scores (he's a bit of Mark McHugh type). The Dubs on the other hand have gone for a FB line to cope with Mayo's ball winning ability in the FF line (all 3 Mayo FFs over 6'). I don't think the potential wet conditions will be much of an advantage to Mayo... it'd be an advantage against teams who are physically weaker. The wind could be more of a problem for both teams (a game of two halves), although the Dubs like to shoot from very close in, so the wind won't be so disruptive for sub-35m shots. I think Mayo will start with at least two different players from the named 15. The Dubs might make a change or two as well, just to shake things up (maybe even Connolly to come in). There are likely to be defensive mistakes by both sides today and whoever exploits these best (especially an early one) will be heading for the final.

Anyway all the best to everyone have a great day and of course Up The Dubs...... clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 10/08/2019 12:55:05 2223349 Link

Replying To jimbodub: "Thankfully the weather forecast has been updated and the previous predictions which pointed to a downpour of biblical proportions look to have been proven wrong. Still a little rain around but nothing major. A special thanks to John Horan for sorting that out. Enjoy the game!" Very apt thank you as he really has played his part, given the role/position though it reflects very poorly & really is an indictment on the rest of the Association. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 10/08/2019 14:01:41 2223373 Link

The beginning of this match Dublin have 13 men behind the ball...just saying. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 912 - 10/08/2019 17:03:32 2223423 Link
Very defensive from Dublin all right. And if that's not enough, the way things are going either team will be lucky to finish with 15 men still on the field. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 10/08/2019 17:24:48 2223427 Link
Great performance by Mayo in first half but will 2 point lead be enough? Fully expect Dublin to go into fifth and sixth gear in second half, will Mayo the able to live with it? Can't wait for second half ballydalane (Kilkenny) - Posts: 1246 - 10/08/2019 17:44:28 2223428 Link
Very intense first half; if Dublin go on and lose this their tactics will definitely be part of the conversation. One thing to die with your boots on, but when you've got your entire team in your own half against a team as aggressive as Mayo, you're asking for trouble. Something new needed from Dublin in the second half, while at the same time we'll need to see if Mayo can maintain this pace. For all their possession they're only two points up. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 10/08/2019 17:45:17 2223429 Link
If Mayo can keep up this efficiency in attack and their legs keep up with Dublin, they have this. 2 big ifs but it's in yer hands lads! Hennelly needs a lot more of that kickout to the wing, give nothing easy to them ffs JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 10/08/2019 17:48:15 2223431 Link
