Mayo -5 1/1, Mayo -4 8/11 and Mayo -3 4/7. These are fantastic bets. I cant believe the amount of pundits that are talking up Tipp. They have no chance. Mayo at 50% would win this game by 7 points +. The gulf in class between these teams is massive and cant see anything other than a once sided win for Mayo.

while i agree with you to a certain extent and mayo should win the fact that galway beat mayo by 5 points and tipp beat galway by 10 points would temper enthusiasm a small bit..ive mayo bkd to win all ire so getting over the line will do me fine..

Wouldnt take either of those results at face value. Mayo are 10 points a better side than Galway.
Also would take the Tipp win over Galway with a pinch of salt. Galway would nearly be favs if they played tomorrow. I have also backed Mayo for AL and would like to see a scrappy 6 point win which would leave them set up nicely for the final rather than the mauling they will give Tipp on Sunday. |

i went in again after galway beating them at 12/1...im betting since i was 12 years of age and my biggest losers by far are mayo footballers and galway hurlers..they owe me the price of a new car!!

Agree, end of the line for Tipp. Hope they get the rest of their boys back for next season and start something.
Mayo on the caps mentioned above for me as well, will split my stake into three. |

Dublin at 1.76 the bet of the year for All Ireland , a weakish Kerry team and Mayo who lost to Galway, Lucky to beat Fermanagh & Tyrone and failed with Better Mayo Teams to play.Dublin are only toying with the opposition , they dont even wash the Dublin jersies after matchs so far this year because they havent broken a bead of sweat yet. Dublin have close on 40 inter county players, kerry might have 8 or 9, Mayo 6 or 7.

Dublin have close to 40 intercounty players? Dont make me laugh. They have 4 or 5 class players and the rest are average. Connolly,McMahon, McCarthy, Fenton and Kilkenny are are classs players.
You have Bastick, McAuley, Brogan, and Flynn who are all past it and two of those named cant even run. You have Mememimen starting in the side at 32+ years of age. This fella wasnt good enough to start 3 years ago. Dean Rock wouldnt get into the Leitrim side and is a donkey. Goes to pieces in the big games as seen against Mayo last year. You have a couple of lads who look half decent coming on when the games are over but there arent worth a sausage. Dublin beat Mayo in a replay last year and since then are missing three of their best players. They have played Laois, Meath, Westmeath and a Donegal side who had no interest. Good luck with your bet  |

The Mayo team are bottlers but should have enough to get over Tipperary. The Winner will come from the other semi, Dublin a few points ahead of Kerry.

Good game
Tipp making tons of mistakes and only a goal down Black card was harsh imo |

They won't keep it to single figures against Dublin. Appalling match.

Nobody in Dublin or Kerry will be losing any sleep tonight . Tipp a bit naive , hopefully they will learn a bit from today , they outplayed ( but did not outscore crucially) Mayo for long periods of the match .

Jesus that was painful.
Like watching the Cork footballers circa 09', without the talent and athleticism; very cynical as well. Only hope is that they were training with September in mind. |

mayo played in 4 classic semi finals in 2015 and 2014 they came away empty handed.todays game was a putrid affair with mayo stumbling over the line but they are in the final... tipp were v unlucky with the black card early in the game allied to some silly shot choices.as stated above they outplayed mayo for long periods. both oconnors were average at best today shooting a lot of wides.but the expectation is low..they will be 9/4 at least and no one will expect them to win it.dublin will be short 2/3 all stars and kerry have a few lads ageing.... finals are strange and can take on a life of their own...if they start and score a high % of the chances they get anything is possible. they need the oconnors,andy moran and aidan o shea on fire,get the tactics right and let her be lucky!!

Mayo did what they had to do yesterday. Very hard to get yourself up for a game when you know you are certain to win. Mayo have won epic semi finals before and it has led to a slump in performance in the final. After a high comes the inevitable low. This is the perfect way to reach a final.
They have a very good record against Dublin over the past 7-8 years and are the only team that Dublin wont fancy playing. They should ahve beaten them last year and Dublin are down 3 key players since then. By luck or whatever Mayo have made the final and have yet to peak which is in stark contrast to their previous appearances in finals. They started training 2 months behind every other team in the country and whilst not planned it has worked. People are talking about Mayo not having played a Div 1 side. Tyrone are a Div 1 team in all but name. |

Mayo will bottle it as usual.

By:
There has been nothing impressive about Mayo all season and i was chatting the auld lad last night saying the same as you BWS that they certainly are not guilty of peaking to early. However i really don't think they look the same team this year, Dublin would have destroyed that Tipp side last week. I suppose we will have to wait and see the final prices.

Obviously in applying the tag average to Dublin players, implies that Mayo are just a little short of abysmal.
They may have started late by mistake but they will be going back early, make no mistake. |

Thanks ,thought as much...

Dublin have yet to beat the Kingdom Bigwilly, we will talk about a Dublin and Mayo final IF it happens.

By:
a lot of people are saying mayo would prefer dublin in the final..im not so sure..i heard there on the radio about ticket touting (80e tickets for 800 each on ticketmaster site)in ireland..it seems mary harney blocked legisatation back in the day because it went against free enterprise!!..she was a beaut really!!

Kavvie i don't doubt you but these must be the same dimwits who say they hate playing against teams when they have a man less. The fact that you are playing against a team with less men than you means without doubt you have a better chance of winning, that is simply factual. Dublin are well ahead of kerry and it would be a serious shock if they were beaten by Kingdom. They are one of the best sides probably ever in the history of the game to say you would rather face them than an ageing Kerry side is rediculous.

Kaavie hardly ticketmaster , probably some other site , not sure how they get away with it

your obviously buying into the hype about dublin rocket.i dont blame you.its all over the media that they are..they may be but they havent proved themselves to be..yet.. lets look at the facts.they were poxed to get a draw last year against mayo before beating them in a replay.they then beat an under performing kerry side who set up totally wrong by 3 points in last years all ireland. and who also missed a sitter of a goal with 5 min left( i agree dublin were way better but 3 points is what they won by)..they have been beating div 3 teams in a canter so far in 2016..best ever? lets see
biffo if you go on ticketmaster theres a link to another site connected with ticketmaster there..prob a subsidiary..its called seatwave |

More anti Dublin bile from kavvie.
|

By:
Kavvie they have won 3 out of the last 5 all Irelands, they are one of the est sides ever in the history of the sport like it or not, which you obviously don't. It's not to say we won't see a surprise on Sunday but to say you rather get them than a clearly inferior team is just stupid, sorry to say.
|
|
By:
im not anti dublin at all,i admire them greatly...they have won 3 out of 5..granted...but the best ever? time will tell..they had a few close shaves in that time.can they cope without 2/3 allstars and footballer of the year 2015?.lets see them winning this years first before deciding..

|
By:
they get away with it because its not illegal in ireland.mary harney called it interfering with the free market when legislation came up a few years ago and promptly binned the idea of outlawing touting....the funny part of it is the adding on of vat...i doubt the vat man ever sees it?!

mayo never beat kerry in croker. 5 points up with a few minutes left couldn't close it out. in any event - whoever they play will be rightful huge favorites because i've not see mayo play anything more than 20minute purple patch per game. the other 50 minutes the dubs or kerry will destroy them.
dublin look a bit vulnerable without their big players - a kerry win wouldn't surprise me but they can't be kicking wides like they did last year the game was there for them but they did a mayo on it. if both teams play to par dublin should win by 6-7 but so far dubs have't impressed me either. |

Best of Luck to the Kerry Forwards, They will need it with 3 Ballymun men in Dublins 6 Backs!!

Wonder is the Gooch fit and ready to do himself justice ? If he is it could be a fascinating game , but Kerry have not looked smooth in recent games , need a lift inspiration wise against a very fit and athletic Dublin side .
To beat the Dubs you have to score goals , Kerry know that as well as anybody . Roll on 3.30 , this is probably the real All Ireland final . |
|
By:
The gooch is playing good football @ club level but that is a world away from the pace of inter county championship. If he is used as incompetently as he was in last years all ireland final, it will probably be the last time we see him in a Kerry jersey. They would be better off using him as a sub coming off the bench and rise the crowd.
This seriously needs to be Fitzmaurice's last game, he is a terrible manager who is fattening off a very lucky all ireland 2 years ago and is getting a very easy ride off the media. They have played the most horrible, negative football this year with an eye on stopping Dublin and have still managed to concede a hatful of goals against Tipperary and Clare. It could be a walkover today if Dublin show up in top form. They played terribly in last years final and still beat us. There's talk of him pulling a rabbit out of the hat but I just can't see it myself |

Cluxton has gifted Kerry 7 points there in the first half. Kerry 5 in front at HT. Dublin will struggle to win from here

best team ever? they will have to prove it now!!

Fats in the fire now . Dubs reeling . Still 35 minutes to go , betting all over the place !

By:
Horror show from Cluxton, but kerry made it pay. The first 10mins of the 2nd half will tell us if the Dubs are as good as people say they are.
