You lot kearned your lesson! The campaign to fill the hill is underway much like in 2013. You will be welcomed with open arms just like in 2013. And just like in 2013 it will have no bearing on the result. I believe Dublin will win because they have a better team, a better manager and they know how to win finals. However it Mayo win I shall be leaving the country!! I will see you off to departures Haha!😏

Cinneide is excellent I find. Although there was nothing overly insightful in that, they're very intelligently written and he brings a sense of realism to proceedings. I wonder was the title itself inspired by the other lazy articles this week (that were more like team talks from the dark ages)? I'm not sure if you were joking about him sitting on the fence, his last sentence sounded like a fairly emphatic vote for Dublin to me. As someone who must want better for Cork football, I'm sure you won't mind me declaring my impression that the problem with county football in Cork is that ye probably still have these team talks. At least our fellows are only in the media rather than still in the dugout. Again, I am not trying to insult --- I am sure you would like to see a more modern approach in Cork also. I don't know what approach is taken behind the scenes or in the dressing rooms, but whatever it is, it's clearly not working these past few years. Darragh says we've become immune to shame, maybe he's right, but that wouldn't really fit in with the heart over head team talks that I was referring to, but the total opposite. It's probably too early to judge Healy completely, but certainly the inclusion of the likes of Conor McCarthy and Paudie Kissane in the backroom team would have indicated a desire for a more modern approach. My main gripe would be that we don't seem to have a style, it varies from game to game and even within individual games, and not in a good way, but as a completely disjointed mess. I know you're a critic of Conor Counihan, but I'll never get on board with that. He did so much good that I am more that willing to overlook any perceived tactical limitations he may have had. He delivered a style of play that suited the players we had and got everybody pulling in the one direction, which wasn't exactly the case before he eventually took over instead of Teddy Holland. Sure, he struggled to counteract some defensive systems (what manager hasn't?) but what he achieved in his time in charge is totally underrated to put it mildly. The game has evolved further still since he quit but I'd happily settle for a manager who brings a feel good factor to the group along with a defined way of playing that the players understand and embrace. Obviously some flexibility is important but a team needs to have a starting point. Even allowing for the amount of players who have retired in that time, we simply haven't had any of that since he left. Kerry have been in transition in the same period and have rattled off four Munster Championships and an unlikely All Ireland in that time. Not being wise after the event but Cork folk needed to be careful what they wished for when they were complaining about Counihan's 'limitations'.

Mayo4sam this is a veritable tour de force. You are either a nutjob who is in earnest, or a genius at windups. The only thing more absurd than some of your posts is the belief, evidently widespread, that responding to them will douse your flame rather than make it burn higher. Keep up the, eh, 'good work'!!

Sully and annascaukytillidie were the same posters who heckled Mayo when they lost, and have never given Mayo any credit, so they are not immune to having to take it seeing as they can give it. They still haven't answered the question why geaney was taken off. Kerry had Dublin on the ropes and changed game plan at half time and were level with dubs after 70 minutes, I would be frustrated with manager for taking of their most potent player who would have made a difference.

"and have never given Mayo any credit" I'm sure all posters here will give Mayo their due credit when they actually do something that deserves credit - like beating Dublin (or anyone) in an All Ireland Final. As for the Geaney Sub its been widely said already that the addition of a 7th forward by Jim Gavin in O'Gara that Marc O'Se for a very tired Paul Geaney would help shore up the defense whilst keeping 3 fast counter attacking forwards in O'Brien, O'donoghue and O'Brien on the field combined with Barry John.

greta site lads, as a Dub its always nice to see the other side of the coin. We tend to sometimes get blinkered on Resdubs etc. What is it about Mayo, the noise they make each year is incredible on the web. Their like a kid with a new toy but then mammy takes the toy away for another year. I think the management did a greta job for Kerry in the final, changed players to keep the momentum up, pushed up mon CLuxton when there was frees. probably what was misisng for a bit more fresy blood in the earlier stages, the mix of ages isnt right on the team, you have a serious minor team so its all good in a few years. In regard to Mayo they peaked a few years ago so they are on their downward cycle with dublin peaking now. Unlike Kerry Mayo will be very predicatable, they will push up on Cluxton at all opportunites which will open the midfield and half forward line up if dublin win the ball (kerry only did it when there was a deadball going in), they will send the high ball into O shea for the first 20, where philly/cooper will knock down tha majority of them, they will run themselves ragid for the first 50 minutes and then run out of steam and dublin will clock the scores up then. I dont think dublin will win by a large margin but i cant see this game going any other way. These guys are way to emotional to keep a steady head and read the game as it goes on. You can see on the all the sites how the whole lot of them get worked up to a frenzy. You pal on here is a typical example of hot air Its a pity the semi wasnt the final.

Genuine football fans from Kerry have an interest in the final and how it will play out. This is the thread for that now. You will not be allowed to hijack this thread. If you have insights into how the final will go please post them. If you keep us this childish stuff you will be banned.

In the drawn semi-final in 2014, Mayo played like demons when they were a man down in the second half. Its the longest passage of play I've seen them execute without losing focus. If they can bring something similar in the final they'll put the wind up the dubs, no question. But what about Stephen Rochford? He has little to do to ensure these lads will be tuned in you'd think. Has he the ability to prepare a decent strategy for the decider? Also, will he make the necessary and timely switches required if things are running against his side's favour?

The 6 Dubs subs are like Usain Bolt in the 4 X 100 Metres relay final.
Mayo will have to be about 6 up nearing the 63rd minute to have a chance.

I'd like to keep Kerry's record of being the only team with back to back Allirelands (this century) in tact. That task is in Mayo's hands now since our narrow defeat last Sunday. We all know what what Mayo are capable of on Allireland day as most of us weren't around in 1951. I worry for our record and the stamp of greatness that the Dubs will get if they win. For the first time in my life I'm actually hoping Mayo win the Allireland.

Great footballing side, good luck to them. At the same time, you'd have to be happy for Mayo if it goes their way, though a certain poster here doesn't make that easy. I don't think Kerry have anything to prove or that our record needs defending from anyone. And sure haven't we just done the Minor B hurling 5-in-a-row; beat that Dublin and Mayo!

I can follow the reasoning that we wouldn't want to lose our status of the only team this Millenium to do a back to back and there is a certain amount of sentiment for a Mayo victory to "break the curse". On the other hand we have a record since 2002 that the Championship is either won by Kerry or the team that beats us and we wouldn't want to break that cycle either. I wouldn't like to see Mayo win after a flat performance by Dublin and neither would I like a total demolition of Mayo. So I find myself perfectly neutral and hoping for a great game won by the more skilful and brave team.

Down beat us in 2010 so that record is already busted. For me I'm just hoping for a smashing game of football and may the best team win. Looking like Dublin big time but sure we'll see.

If Mayo win I will have to eat a ream of humble pie. To be honest I don't know what would be greater: another pasting for the men from the west or what would be an incredible outpouring of emotion...I am not rooting for Mayo but if they do win I would like to think I would be happy for them. Dubs for me though.

There has to be one massive performance in this Mayo setup, new manager, backroom gurus and the House of Pain creaking in the background. It will be interesting to see how Mayo will mix this cocktail of emotions. Reaching a peak performance will surely bring them to the brink and tipping point of finally winning an All-Ireland. So are they under pressure? They have lost several finals. So what if they lose another one. This matrix may create the perfect platform for them to play from a position of no fear. Now that would be a hugely exiting subplot! In the melting pot from 10 out, ice in the veins, in the moment, the game going ding dong, screeching questions at the Dubs. They will need to find that pitch on two weeks time.
