Karma is sound they reckon.....

I'm just going to throw this back up here and cross the fingers!

A bit early to be panicing but needs must

There's several pinteens in it for anyone who can come up with the goods
I love the run up in the final week; work related productivity disappears and heaps of watching this kind of thing 

(obviously changing "first" to "third")

Happy with our fixtures have most of the big teams at home which is a good thing and the 3 aways are close enough to home so no long journeys required

Seeing as both the Tyrone and monaghan games are down for Saturday night games means they be played in ballybofey. That means the Dublin and kerry games be played in letterkenny and ballyshannon seeing as they each get 1 game each.

In recent years we have played Dublin in ballyshannon so I'd guess that be played their with us facing kerry in letterkenny

Yeah there seems be the usual heavy dose of 'Mayo4Sam' shenanigans on social media anyway.

Majority of articles/columns in the Times/Indo/Star etc.. have been about Mayo this week Mark.

Heard a few people from Mayo on the radio last night. Their first comment in most instances seems to be :
"Sure Dublin have it won already" which is getting to be a bit annoying as if they genuinely believed that then they'd be happy to hand over their tickets to the many Dubs looking !! And if they think that the Dublin team actually believe that then they obviously have no real understanding about how Jim Gavin works. 
If Mayo do win on Sunday it will be because they have played well enough on the day to do so (And best of luck to them if they do).

I know Mayo haven't played as well this season as they have done in previous seasons (so far at least!) but at 3/1 they surely represent serious value? They are only missing one player from the team that not once, but twice, had Dublin on the ropes last season. Dublin, on the other hand, are missing two huge players from last season in Rory O'Carroll and Jack McCaffrey. The older Brogan has also retired since then as well.
 
I have no interest placing a bet against Dublin myself (equally I would never bet against Ireland no matter how attractive it may appear) but for a neutral I think Mayo at those odds has to be worth a punt.

Hearing a lot of stuff in the build-up about Mayo needing goals to have any chance.

Goals in All-Ireland Finals, with the exception of 2012, haven't been a problem for them

1989 - 38th minute strike from Anthony Finnerty put them in front
1996 - Ray Dempsey scored a goal which gave Mayo a six point lead with 20 minutes left
1996 (replay) - PJ Loftus scored the first goal of the game that gave Mayo a 7 point lead just before half-time, but was immediately pegged back by a Meath penalty a minute later
2004 - Alan Dillon scored in the 5th minute of the game to give Mayo a great start against Kerry.
2006 - In the midst of a Kerry onslaught, Mayo managed to score 3 goals themselves and the margin at half-time was six points. (thirteen at full-time)
2013 - Andy Moran levelled the game in the 50th minute.


Leaving 2006 aside, each of the goals came at critical times but they never built on it. As I have mentioned often in the last year, when Cillian O'Connor scored that goal in the semi-final replay last year, they had ample opportunity to push on and put Dublin out of it.


It's obvious Mayo need to put in a better performance than they have done all year and I expect them to do that. However, if they do manage to get a goal, its what they do after it that will be the making of them. They can't take the foot off the pedal like they did against Tipp after their first goal. Kerry hit Dublin for two quick goals in the semi-final but they couldn't hold on. If Dublin are going to go through a bad patch in the game, Mayo need to punish them for it.

I find this a tremendously difficult game to call and am flabbergasted at the odds.

Mayo at 10/3 are well overpriced. 

The closer it gets to the game the more I like Mayo's chances. 

There seems to be an assumption that Dublin will turn in a performance like they did against Kerry and that this will be enoough but All-Ireland finals tend to much more cagey affairs than semi-finals - just look back over the last four seasons. Dublin's performances in the 2013 and 2015 finals were nothing like they managed in their semi-final victories in those years. Neither were Donegal's and Kerry's in 2012 and 2014 compared to their semi-finals.

I've had a look at the stats from the last three championship games between the teams (2013 and 2015) on the excellent dontfoul website https://dontfoul.wordpress.com/category/2015/ and if Mayo repeat the stats they racked up in the 2013 final and 2015 draw they have a really good (ie slightly better than 50%) chance of winning.

Their performances this year have not been very good however. But their pedigree and the suspicion they have been aiming more specifically for the All-Ireland final, and specifically for Dublin, both in terms of fitness and in tactics than in other years means you have to assume they are saving up something really big for this.

I think it'll go to the last ten minutes and the key may be who has conserved energy best up to then to really go flat out until the end. It's commonly thought you can't outlast Dublin but Mayo did it in the semi-final draw last year, and arguably even in the 2013 final.
