Replying To Beelzedub: "Dubs won 6 in a row, and hold the longest unbeaten run in championship football history.
That'll do pig. That'll do.
All the best to Kerry catching up with that, rub of the green 2026 merchants." Might have a chance if the move the semi finals and final to be played in Killarney!!

Replying To Saynothing: " Replying To Commodore: "1- Stephen Cluxton - The benchmark for keepers that followed.
2- Marc O' Se
3- Neil McGee
4- Lee Keegan
5- Colm Boyle - Warrior at wing back for that great Mayo team from 2011 - 2020
6- James McCarthy - Midfielder who reverted to No 6, replaced Cian O'Sullivan, who was a class act too.
7- Karl Lacey
8- Brian Fenton - Arguably the best midfield ever.
9- Aidan O'Shea - Often overlooked, but consistently played at the pinnacle of the game for 15 years and was key.
10- Colm "The Gooch" Cooper - Class player, he even racked up scores in the games lost to Tyrone in the 2000s.
11- Diarmuid connolly - Combination of pace, power and raw talent, brilliant player.
12- Michael Murphy - He was usually double marked for most of his prime years, beast of a player, unbelievable drive and energy,
13-<b> Conor Mc manus</b> - One of the best 3 forwards I have ever seen.
14-<b> David Clifford </b>- Is in the running to be the overall best player I have ever seen so far.
15- <b>Peter Canavan </b>- One of the best forwards I ever witnessed, even in his later years when his pace diminished, he was still so so dangerous."</div>I like Aidan O Shea and everything he has done for Mayo football from minor to present. But Sean Cavanagh has to get in the 15." Cavanagh was a Stephen Gerrard type footballer (to compare with another sport)…all over the field, all action and could score. yew_tree (National) - 24/07/2026 16:12:33

Replying To Claretandblue: "Great win tonight for Tubberclair and a huge boost for them in their first senior championship match in probably 20 years. Minus Matthew W but they have a great mixture of lots of 20-21 year olds alongside older, experienced players. Two more wins out of four matches should secure a quarter final spot. Moate began well but faded in second half out scored by 0-15 to 1-4 Tyrrellspass drew with Killucan which could be a useful point later in the year, a brilliant start for Ballinagore winning their opening intermediate championship match against Finea." I was in kinnegad last night . Huge difference in standard in the two games. Just emphasises what a mess the county board have made of the championship when possibly Ballinagore could maje a quarter final .That bottom intermediate group is very like a mini junior championship, the favourites in it Rochfortbridge and Rosemount wouldn't get within 15 points of the third placed team in group A.

I think Kerry will be comfortable at half time up by 5/6 and home and dry with 15 min left. Kerry by 12

Replying To yew_tree: "Well here we go again….another final. Nice buzz around the county this week but somewhat grounded all the same. Can we do it? Yes we can but match ups, kickouts, intensity and kicking is going to have to spot on. I also firmly believe a curve ball from management will be needed to stop this Kerry team…what that is I don't know. Traveling in anticipation and as always hope. Safe traveling to all supporters. See ye on the other side." I see you on the Roscommon thread all the time. It's hard to believe after getting beaten by Roscommon in Castlebar that you've made it to a final but fair play to you. You've got better and better as the campaigns gone on. I think that's the difference between teams like Mayo and Roscommon. You have a great belief in your footballers. I sincerely hope you do get the win tomorrow. It's going to be a tough task against a very good Kerry team but regardless whether you win or lose you have to say it's been a great year for Mayo Football All the best.

All the best tomorrow lads.
It's a tough ask to beat Kerry on All Ireland final day. This time last year I thought we were well set to really challenge them, but were very disappointing on the day.
I give ye a decent chance though, because you have players up front playing fearlessly. Kobe, Beirne and Ryan will go for two pointers and a goal if they're on. If ye can bang in a goal or two, and land 5 or 6 pointers then who knows!
One thing that stuck with me last year was the amount of Kerry fans who upped and left immediately after the final whistle. They'll have to send in the army to clear Croke Park if ye win I think! Jokes aside, I really hope ye do it. Ádh mór!

Unlucky to lose out - Tomas O Se (5 all stars)
Peter Canavan, Maurice Fitz, Micheal Donnelan were great players, but their body of work in the period wasnt very long.
Peter Canavan and Maurice Fitz would be on the team for 1990 to 2015 at their ease.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer: "Few who would begrudge Mayo however as it stands nobody wants to be that team that finally loses All-Ireland final to Mayo, if it's Kerry under Jack O'Connor in charge with the Clifford's,O'Shea etc involved it will be some story to tell, stranger things has happened in sport." It wouldn't be that strange. There seems to be some sort of short term memory loss about this Kerry team.
Donegal hammered them twice and both Tyrone and Dublin had them for taking and might have done with even one key decision going their way.
They might turn out to be as good as previous Kerry teams but they are not there yet.
No idea about sports psychology but dont see any reason Mayo can't win on Sunday. I think they will.

A Mayo win would be one of the greatest days in Irish sport and i find it hard to believe even some Kerry fans would begrudge their opponents the win.
Hopefully they give it a great shot and give it everything.
The reason we watch and love sport is because of it's unpredictability and thats why there is always belief.
Best of luck to Mayo Sunday

Sean Cavanagh is a cert IMO
