With respect we all try to know the future, and nobody better than myself for trying, much of it a man's ego thing and with respect (again!) I think we are mostly boys on here, bold 'n' bad boys! Having learned the (very) hard way I have mellowed a wee bit and now tend to reflect on calls I made that were so outrageous, ah seen a bit of life, scratched a few surfaces and seasoned by the years too, been around a few blocks - remember the one of Paddy walking home on his tod from a luckless Galtymore of a night out and saw that sign on a B&B window 'No Dogs, No Blacks and No Irish', went around the block to find a stone, was just about to oblige his inclination when he realised someone had beaten him to it, and then didn't the auld Bill nab him, ah sure didn't he got a taxi to a B&B for the night anyway, all courtesy and at Her Majesty's pleasure, maybe she fancied him - story could be worse, could have been Andrew!
As for predicting the future, a few MOMers come to mind -'An taobh eile' agus 'See things as they are, not as you'd like 'em to be and nobody can ever criticize you' - it took me my second read of his autobiography to twig his wisdom and these are but two examples, he has a real mean streak about him, positive of course, I wonder if anyone knows anything of his days togged out?, he was a fair poker player, with Moss Keane, etc and that he was a non-drinker gave him a bit of an advantage here, we also have a somewhat less celebrious auld Listowel laddo who will now have Micheál up in court seeking the return of holy communion money on the grounds of 'illegal state aid', unfair advantage - don't bet on it!
BTW a few great yarns of the great Moss Keane and poker, an auld bucko who shared a flat with him in Dublin told me of a day that kicked off with an 'interview' Moss did with MOM in The Barge pub at 11am, that was precisely when Moss had just arrived on the rugby scene, anyway the fee was put to good use with our laddo being brought back to the flat in the afternoon, tried to watch sports but couldn't even see the TV, 3 or 4 shifts later had Moss clean 'em all out at cards in the small hours. So if MOM wasn't at the end of it, he was at the start of it - maybe the cause of it? - amazing stuff if ya can read between the lines!
Ballythefireside Quote of today - The longest tooth be in the toothless head, PS I still have all mine own so I'm not that wise! Mandad on here is The God of wisdom for sure.

Needless to say I’m hoping for a Tyrone victory. Just think it’s too hard to call. Too many unknowns. Mayo have undoubtedly been the team who have got closest to beating the Dubs over the last 6-7 years or so. Then again I think Tyrone- Mayo match will have a different dynamic to a Mayo Dubs match. Neither one has completely dominated the other over the 20 years, the way Dublin had dominated the victories in their matches against Mayo (and everyone else).Tyrone have lost to Mayo on some occasions and had victories on others. The loss to Mayo in 2016 was one Inthink Mayo have been brilliant the last few years, then again they have lost brilliant players like Keith Higgins, Chris Barrett, Seamus O Shea, Tom Parsons etc. Also they won’t have Cillian O’Connor. Then again they have replaced well with players like Matthew Ruane, Tommy Conroy and james Carr who was brilliant off the bench the last day out. Too difficult to call. Think it will be a good match and (with apologies to Dublin and Kerry) it’s a new and interesting pairing for a final. I’m really looking forward to it. Even if Tyrone lose, it would be difficult to begrudge Mayo an All Ireland after everything they have given us the last 9 years or so. Hope they don’t get it this time though.

Mayo + 6 assuming no horrific errors like what happened agianst us.
Tyrone surely wont get the gifts we gave them -> we make no schoolboy mistakes against them, we win that game by 7+ points in normal time. cant see Mayo being as generous.

I really can’t see this being anything other than a close game. I suppose it’s hard to call, but I would be surprised at an easy victory for either team. As for the Tyrone Kerry game, it is certainly a game that could have gone Kerry’s way. The other way of looking at it is that if it hadn’t been for the brilliance of D Clifford and Sean O Se it would have been a lot more than a 7 point victory for Tyrone.

Difficult one to judge.
I think Tyrone will dog it out.

Agree with most here, its just so hard to call which is great as a neutral. I still think however its in Mayo's hands, Dubs are on the wane but then we handed that game to Tyrone. So many unknowns, Mayo by 1 or 2 for me but I wouldnt be confident enough to put a few pound on it

Tyrone by far the better team. Mayo, losers as per usual.

I’m celebrating tonight but can’t help sparing a thought for Mayo. After everything they have given in those incredible matches with Dublin over the last few years and the resilience they have shown to keep coming back and keep making it to finals, this must be a sickener. Would love to see them win an All Ireland in the next few years. (Albeit not at Tyrone’s expense.)

At their peak in the middle of the last decade they were a really serious outfit but sadly for them, it coincided with the rise of the Dubs. Ultimately, they have never had enough top tier forwards. This current Mayo side are a long way off that side, albeit they have 3 or 4 outstanding players but as a whole, are well short. I dont see them bridging the gap anytime soon.
Aidan O'Shea has played in 7 All Ireland finals, including replays, and never scored. 8 after today I believe.

Understandably, All Ireland wins have never felt far away in Kerry. This last 13 years, this day felt a long way away for Tyrone fans. It would be wrong not to mention the part that the sportsmanship of the Kerry County Board played. If Kerry had taken a different approach, Tyrone might not have had the chance to play at all.
