Enough talk of the juggernaut that is Dublin. Let's talk of the fantastic footballers that Tipperary have. If Tipp can get going, and not concede goals I think they will out shoot Mayo for points. Tipperary's biggest problem is depth. They have made a lot of progress on that in recent years - but an injury or a black card or two would be very problematic for them. Mayo seemed to have snuck in under the radar this year. All the hoo la baloo about Dublin, Tipp and Cavan making breakthroughs. Mayo are back in an All Ireland semi after beating the division 2 winners and a team that finished 3rd in the league with much fuss. I rely fancied Tipperary against Cork. I just have no idea what Mayo will turn up. skirge7 (UK) - Posts: 254 - 06/12/2020 11:37:15 2319076 Link
As a Connacht man I really want Mayo to win but there form especially in the forwards has been very up and down. They will need a huge improvement on previous performances (and be much more clinical) to win today as Tipperary forwards will cause them a lot of trouble.

Think Mayo will be a bit cuter than Cork and will win by 5, Tipperary main men are outstanding but Mayo are better balanced and better options off the bench bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 06/12/2020 13:01:13 2319124 Link
If it's all put into context mayo have beating 2 teams that's going to be In division 1 next year at there ease. And destroyed leitrim who were in the same division as tipperary. Tipp on the other hand were very looky to beat division 4 limerick and just held on against Clare. And at the end of the day cork was another division 3 team they beat. Should be only one clear winner here in my opinion Irishcelt (Wicklow) - Posts: 149 - 06/12/2020 13:34:59 2319145 Link

I find this very hard to call. Tipp have 2 forwards that are much better than anything Mayo have and are stronger at midfield as well as having a better goalkeeper. Both teams have good backs and Mayo's forwards are better than what Tipp have after Sweeney and Quinlivan. Mayo are obviously used to competing at a much higher level than what Tipp are and have great power in the 2 half lines. If Tipp believe in themselves enough I think they will win out by 2 points and make it a repeat of the pairing of the 1920 final. The general consensus is Mayo but how good are they really? They've beaten 2 average teams in Roscommon and Galway and for me that's not enough to drastically improve what I thought of them before the championship. We will see.

Maybe there hasn't been so much talk about them because it's not a surprise to see them at this stage of the competition. Plenty of experience with a very good manager, they won't be caught out today. Mayo by 6 Douglas_44 (Roscommon) - Posts: 225 - 06/12/2020 14:09:10 2319161 Link

I expect a much closer game today, can't rule Tipp out, Mayo seem to save themselves for us, should be good hopefully. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8746 - 06/12/2020 14:45:12 2319186 Link
I like a lot of the Tipp footballers but to be honest I think Mayo are too ferocious in the tackle and will win a lot of turnover ball. Mayo's biggest problem so far this championship has been a bit of wastefulness in my view but I think they will have too much for Tipp. Hoping for a great game, best of luck to both sides JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 06/12/2020 14:50:08 2319190 Link

25 minutes in and this game is over. Mayo stronger, moving the ball through the lines well, ruthless. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1990 - 06/12/2020 15:57:15 2319218 Link
2-10 to 1-3 to mayo after 25 mins. Are people turning off or do they only turn off when its Dublin. Looking forward to the football is gone talk now. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13654 - 06/12/2020 15:57:57 2319219 Link

Pretty sure that in addition to being leading scorer of all time in championship Killian O'Connor is now the leading goal scorer as well. Ruthless - the most underrated player in Ireland perhaps? Ulsterchamps_32 (Donegal) - Posts: 812 - 06/12/2020 16:07:25 2319229 Link
