Oh someone wrote a song about Andy Moran. Jeez the players and management should really stop what random eejits do. The trolls on here are painful. Same 5 or 6 raging that Mayo have ended up in a semi final unexpectedly.

From the outside Mayo are flying the Connacht flag alone.

If a big Mayo crowd travel it's hype. If they win there will be talk of hype. If they lose it will be because of hype. There's a bizaree obsession with Mayo.

They're just representing themselves.

Replying To Drax_the_destroyer:  "Seán Kelly MEP and Former GAA president yesterday

I've been thinking for some years now , that Mayo
best chance of winning Sam, is when it's least expected and they come in under the radar - bit like this year ? But, when I said that to a guy in Brussels today ,he replied , ' Mayo , come in under the radar ? . You must be joking ! Not a hope . If they qualify for the Final, all the hype and over confidence and 'Mayo4Sam', will take over again and it will blow any chance they have of winning' Not sure , he's right ach mar a deirtear, 'Neosfaidh an aimsear ' So, cool it Mayo!"
Sean showed his true colours with Maria Walsh on Mercusar so I wouldnt pay a blind bit of notice on his opinion.

There is a lot of lazy analysis on Mayo as usual in the build up to this. Just listening to some podcasts, they all seem to think bar the O'Connors and O'Se on the panel this is a new Mayo team….same as Louth.

Well let's take an actual look, Ryan O Donoughue, Conor Loftus, Tommy Conroy, Matthew Ruane, Stephen Coen, Jordan Flynn, Enda Hession (sub) all played in the 2021 final…Coen, Loftus Durkan have obviously played in multiple semi finals and finals.

Does any of this matter? Maybe not, but experience of the big days does count. It's a carbon copy of the build up and feeling before the Cork Game. Bookies have Mayo has slight favs but the vast majority of the pundits are going for Louth. Let's see what happens….

Yes I've listened to a good few podcasts and it's very much slim pickings in terms of who's tipping Mayo to win.

Colm Parkinson and dick clerkin the only ones I heard. Tomas O Sé, Fenton, Aaron Kernan, Brendan devenny, Pat spillanne, Michael Verney and a few others went for louth.

A general theme is people constantly referencing Mayo's up and down form during the championship. However, louth got destroyed by Dublin in Leinster only scoring 0-10 and were blessed to beat Armagh with a last second goal. Yet apparently Mayo's 5 point win over Cork was lucky??

Of course people are also pointing out that we had a lucky draw with Monaghan the only division 1 team we beat.. surely recent years have shown how well division 2 sides have done in championship and we knocked out Meath and Cork?

I'm sure it'll be a close game either way of course.

They weren't blessed to beat Armagh. They stuck at it to the end when some other teams would have wilted and quit. They made their own luck. Been a feature of a lot of Louth performances in recent years and we'll know all about it on Saturday evening.

Good news for Mayo, a list of names who are generally wrong with their match predictions.
