One of the reasons that Sunday’s All-Ireland Senior Football Final holds such fascination is because so many of the key men on either side are destined to go head to head.
If individual battles within the collective one are the sort of thing that floats your boat, then you’ll have plenty of sub-plots to keep you entertained.
Top of the pile is the expected showdown between Dublin’s Diarmuid Connolly and Mayo’s Lee Keegan. There have been sparks whenever these two have collided in the past, and former Mayo manager James Horan expects them to spend the match in one another’s company again.
“Yeah, yeah, I think you'll see it. I think so. Diarmuid Connolly is such a good player. You saw him in the 74th minute against Kerry kicking that score so the conditioning, the skill level, everything is there to do that.
“Lee Keegan, anyone that comes up against Lee, he's faster, stronger, better, and when he goes onto someone it can be intimidating. He's got courage to a fault almost so I think they'll match up.
“If you look at the some of the match ups, Kevin McManamon is doing very well this year, Colm Boyle likewise and the type of players they are, they're very similar, Donie Vaughan/Brian Fenton, Brian Fenton has been so influential and is so mobile, like Donie Vaughan, so there is in this game more than any game a lot of match ups that will be really important.”
Keegan and Connolly went head to head in the 2013 All-Ireland Final and last year’s drawn and replayed All-Ireland Semi-Finals. Connolly has arguably enjoyed his best Championship campaign yet for Dublin this year, but Mayo fans will draw hope from the fact that Keegan has had the better of their tussles in the past.
Over the course of those three previous Championship encounters, not only has Keegan held Connolly to just two points from play, he’s scored four from play himself which is a remarkable statistic.
>Mayo
Absolute reddit-tier
The Mayo defender is one of the best footballers in the country, and unlike many other specialist man-markers he has the ability to make sallies forward and land crucial scores rather than simply try to negate the influence of the man he’s marking.
He proved that once again when he marked Tyrone’s Sean Cavanagh in the All-Ireland Quarter-Final, a match that also showcased his knack for getting under the skin of the men he marks.
Cavanagh was given a yellow-card for an off-the-ball tangle at the start of the second-half with Keegan that ultimately proved costly because another yellow later in the game saw the Tyrone man sent to the line.
Connolly, too, came out on the wrong side of a similar incident in the drawn All-Ireland semi-final last year when he was red-carded and Keegan yellow-carded for another off-the-ball incident.
Defenders have always tried to light Connolly’s fuse, often with success, but former Dublin player Ray Cosgrove believes Connolly proved in the All-Ireland semi-final when he was tightly marked by Peter Crowley that he’s not as liable to lose his focus as he one was.
“Yeah, absolutely, I think you notice a difference in his attitude in the semi-final,” says Cosgrove. “There was no silly stuff off the ball. He wasn’t reacting to anything. He was focus on playing ball and I think that’s an aspect of his game that Dermo has to focus on.
“You are going to have tussles that you are going to have to lock horns with a fella for 70 minutes and not react and he’s got to be big enough and strong enough and more experienced and know that you are going to get a little bit of treatment and that’s part and parcel of it. He’s well able to dish it out himself so I think again for Dublin to win Dermo has got to be on the field.
“There is no point being sent off like he was in the first game late on against Mayo. Dublin have got to have him on the field if they are to win the next day.
"You’d like to think with all the experience he’s gained. I definitely think with the management team, the likes of Declan (Darcy) and Deego (Mick Deegan) there, they’d be cute enough and savvy enough to be getting the message across. ‘You are going to be targeted, you are the most talented footballer in Dublin, if not in Ireland, deal with it, move on and let the scoreboard do the talking for you.’
“Because, the other stuff off the ball doesn't do him any favours and he is too good to be getting mixed up with confrontation with Leeroy, so I think there’s a big game still left in Dermo.
“Dermo could, when the lights are shining on the 18th, it would be just like him to put in a performance the next day.”
If Connolly is a clear winner in his tussle with Keegan, then it’s hard to see how Mayo will win the match. A humming Connolly usually means an in-tune Dublin. It’s not the only individual battle that will have major impact on the game though, there are a number of them in all areas of the pitch.
Mayo will probably need Aidan O’Shea to have one of his one-man wrecking-ball performances if they’re to pull off a shock, but that won’t be easily done if, as expected, he starts at centre-forward and is marked by Cian O’Sullivan.
An interesting sub-plot there is that if O’Sullivan does pick up O’Shea, then he probably won’t have the luxury of dropping deep and sweeping across his defence like he usually does, which could have untold consequences for his full-back line.
You can be sure that O’Shea will wander into the full-forward position occasionally too, so O’Sullivan will be left with the decision then whether to pass him on or follow him wherever he goes.
If he follows him then O’Shea’s strength in the air won’t pose as big a threat as it would if Philly McMahon was tasked with marking him, but without O’Sullivan locking down the half-back line a whole new range of threats could present themselves. Whatever way you slice and dice it, O’Shea v O’Sullivan is going to have a big impact on the match.
So too will the clash between Brian Fenton and Donal Vaughan in the centre of the park. Fenton has been one of the best players in the country this year with no midfielder seemingly able to match all-round game.
Vaughan has a better chance than most though because at least he’ll have the engine to follow Fenton wherever he goes, and it’ll be interesting to see how the young Dublin midfielder reacts if the shoe is on the other foot and he’s forced to back-pedal by on of those trade-mark Vaughan charges forward.
When you go through both teams there are a lot of similarities between them and match-ups that could cancel one another out.
Perhaps the real game-breaker could come late in the game when Dublin introduce Eoghan O’Gara off the bench. Mayo are well equipped to handle most of the Dublin danger-men, but they don’t have a natural full-back who would be comfortable dealing with O’Gara’s power on the edge of the square.
That was Dublin’s trump-card when they won the 2013 All-Ireland Final. Mayo supporters will hope history does not repeat itself.
tl;dr Dublinwinslol
Anybody got a livesteam for the match? Also sorry about he other thread, didn't see this one.

>It dates back to the day in 1951 when a victorious Mayo team headed home to the west of Ireland from Dublin, after a comfortable win over Meath. The champions travelled with less pomp than today - making the journey to the evening's celebrations in the back of a truck.
>Legend has it that when they passed a funeral in the town of Foxford without stopping or paying respects, a curse was cast that Mayo would never again win the All-Ireland championship until all members of that team had died.
>True or not, they've not won since.
Mayo are the biggest chokers in the history of ANY sport.
I can't watch it live in England on rte player
Why the fuck don't Kilkenny play football too?
Because they just want to dominate hurling forever like a bunch of cunts.
>Tipp winning the hurling and getting to the football semi
Because they have absolutely no interest in it.
They do play, they're just really REALLY shit at it
>KILKENNY’S RETURN TO the Leinster minor football championship proved to be a hugely chastening experience as they suffered one of the heaviest defeats imaginable.

Is there a bigger meme in Gaelic football than Cluxton and his fucking kickouts?
>going for goals this early
Didn't they get in trouble because the GAA gave them money to grow Gaelic football and then that game happened and it became extremely obvious that all the money was just put into hurling?
Right, so you can replace a player who gets sent off with a black card (3 of your 6 subs max)
Does a red card sending off mean you can't replace the player?
And it's two yellows for a red?
Get fucked Mayo
You were saying?
I hope there is some jackeen butthurt at the end of this match

Why are Mayo scoring all these own goals.
Are they that thick in the wist?
Is it me or is this the worst game ever?

No, it's pretty bad
Kek i was on the hill at the quaters and it was quite degenerate.

something about auld dublin lads with their dublin jackets and pants and their little dublin hats makes my blood boil

That's what you get for hiding in your shitty province getting a bye straight to the semis every year.
The weather ruining the game making us look like a joke to Johnny Foreigners for the second year in a row.
The game isn't usually this shit. I-It's the rains fault.
I've no problem with dublin people, lived there for 12 years but it's like the orange marches, makes me angry for no real reason
>muh rain
Hurling was always the superior sport anyway
Anyone else really want to punch that unless cunt of a president?
He makes me so angry. Why the fuck does he get free ticket to this and bohs games. Fuck off you stupid little degenerate
hate brolly
Too many steps, a lot of throwing and no handpassing.
This is wankball, not gaelic football.
There's plenty good reason to be angry with orange marches
i feel like hurling is shit because everyone is too good at it. players can score from literally the half way line if they're good enough, they're just fucking flying in points all game.
>Dublin performing like total shit
>Mayo are still behind by 5 on retarded own goals
Classic Mayo
I ended up in the middle of Orange marches this year by accident..In Sandy Row.
To be fair, the lads are sound. All for the banter, but maybe they were just in a good mood because NI were playing in the Euros that day. We walked home lashed from the middle of the city back to a hostel across from the Sandy Row Rangers supporters club of Belfast, we were fine.
>because everyone is too good at it.
you've never played it then
>two own goals
Do Mayo even care?
any you lads heading to the ploughing championship
>hurling is shit because there are always points being scored and the skill level is really high
oh I have and I was fucking terrible. It's amazing what they can do but watching lads string together 2 passes then fly in another point from the middle of the park isn't exciting. I think it's also why theres so many replays, the teams can just score against each other point for point until the match ends.
Are Mayo the most JUST country when it comes to football?
Who bridged the 32 year gap in Connacht lads? Who'll be the next team to bring Sam west of the Shannon?
I'll give you a clue, it's the same team and it's not fucking Mayo.
Except you have goals too
Personally I think it's more exciting to have to work up the field with passes, and go around defenders in order to score. Defense is pretty much nullified except for goal defense.
Anyone in north Dublin want to meet up for some hardcore gay sex?
I want to get dominated
a bit further south you fucking savage
yeah of course, but goals seem to be the only exciting part of the game, atleast for myself.
Donegal here. Fuck Mayo tbqh. So glad we cucked them in the final when it mattered.
>€20 per person to watch some blokes work a field

I love the bit of banter with pat spillane and joe brolly

>west of the Shannon
You wut? The Shannon enters the sea at Limerick. Kerry are south of the Shannon.
Unless you're talking about Clare?
Why are they using their hands?
Are you expecting a person from Kerry to actually have a semblance of intelligence? Let alone basic geography?
Sneaky cheating and the ref doesn't care
Are Dublin natty?
when mayo win the all ireland we retake the north m'laddos
anybody watching the game in galway here
how is this game even played?
how do you read the score?
nth for Waterford
1 goal = 3 points
People in the north are quite happy in the union. Let them be
first number is goals, they're worth 3 points. the next number is points they're worth 1.
a goal is a goal like in soccer, a point is a ball between the two bars.
Dublin's score : 2-04
Which means they have a total score of 10 points.
2 goals = 6 points (3 points per goal)
+
4 points (hit over the bar)

Lads, I need to stop being a shut in and meet new people. I've heard rec league sports are a great way to do that. Should I join my local hurling or football league this spring?
Additional info played low-key soccer as a kid and my co-ed Sunday league rec league starts tonight! I ran cross country in high school if that makes a difference.
It'll start to kick off towards the end if one team begins to run away with it.
Expect a fucking major Dublin chimp out if Mayo have a significant lead going into injury time.
Mayo will flop in the last five
The biggest just can't handle it
i really want to see the o shea brothers start swinging wildly, how many dubliners could they take?
THE CITY OF MAYO
hurling is very tough to get into at any age past childhood, you'd be awful
try gaelic first, if you're reasonably athletic you'll get the hang of it fairly quickly
Dublin are going to win
Mfw Dublin win

Is Aiden O'Shea a meme lads? I'm a hurling guy, I rarely watch boreball

Is there any HQ stream for us non-irish?
people say he's shite but only because he's manmarked 3 to 1 every single game.
who are we rooting for lads
Is it true that Mayo havnt won the all Ireland for like 400 years and they keep loosing finals.
Basically they are benfica
Mayo
Connacht is unironically better than Leinster in terms of depth. Roscommon are in Division 1 and Galway are a strong Division 2 team. The second highest ranked Leinster team, Meath, stayed in Division 2 on scoring difference.
I have to laugh when I see pathetic Leinster people try to hitch themselves to the wagon of Dublin's success as all of their other teams like Kildare and Meath go down the toilet. Same in hurling with Kilkenny, while Wexford and Offaly just get worse.
I also have to laugh when I see Dublin fans bitching that Mayo have an easy path to the quarters, when they had to come past the mighty powers of Laois, Meath and Westmeath to get there and Mayo were actually beaten in their province.
The provincial way of dividing up teams is stupid, but Leinster are the biggest joke in this regard, not Connacht.
Spurs
Dublin are the United of GAA
They get to play every game at home and the refs all support them
Mayo. They have come close and not won more than any other team. Haven't won the final in 50 years GOTTA BREAK THE CURSE
Dublin are faggots with arrogant fans because they win all the time. Haven't lost a game in 24 games.
Why are these dudes playing football with volleyballs?
Dublin, unless you're a fucking muck savage
60 years I think. Got cursed for passing a funeral and not paying respects.

Who's their Béla Guttmann?
The curse goes that everyone from the last Mayo team that won Sam has to die.
But I think that was nixed when one of the guys who was on the team was dying and he said he'd tell heaven to God to cut that shit out when he got up there.
GAA lore is fun sometimes.

fuck me i love the commentary and analysis on rte, it honestly feels nostalgic in a great way. gaa is their best product.
I live near Bray lad, get a nice Dublin Bus everyday its not striking
So is the winner considered the world champion? :^)
What I don't like it teams bandwagoning other countries when they are out. They do it so hard. I drove from Mayo to Dublin and nearly every county has fucking Mayo flags everywhere
Where do you think that AIG money is going?
Yes
No that would be fucking retarded
No, actually. There are world championships now. I think it was in Dubai last year.
Spoilers: Ireland won.
IIRC there's a London team and a New York one. I don't know if they just play in the spring League though.
London nearly got to the all Ireland quaters a few years back.
I honestly wonder. I doubt there's rigorous drug testing in GAA and with the crazy competition for places in the dublin team I wouldn't be surprisd to see some of them test positive for EPO
ireland didnt compete in dubai
europe won it

Nice choke Mayo
I met him through a friend when I moved to Ireland first and he seemed quite chill, but a bit arrogant. Generally though I liked him. When back to his house too and won money of him playing poker
Mayo what
bring out the hellmans bring out the best
>They're going to steal it again
>the town of Mayo cucks
Talk of the ''''''curse'''''' was only started in the late 1990s because Mayo fans were booty-blasted that they lost the final in '96 and '97, and Galway won it without any trouble in '98.
It's classic Mayo though, wishing death on the only people that ever won them anything.
I can't wait until after all of them are dead, and Mayo stay shit, and Mayo people realise there was no curse, but they're actually just bad at football.

MAYO A HAHA FUCKING UNBELIEVABLE
Joke of a game. Dublin will never ever play that poorly again. Brogan can retire before the replay.
Where the fuck did 7 minutes come from anyway?
i personally would rather see the teams come back with adjusted tactics and well rested players than watch a test of endurance as players try to outrun each other
>Beat Kerry by a point
>Beat ''''''Mayo'''''' by a point

Wow, they're truly the greatest team of all time
Is it true extra time from next year
Dublin play shit, still get to a final, play shit in the final and still have a replay.
Maybe other teams are just worse desu. Mayo should be embarrassed they didn't win that
Where were the black people? Seems pretty racist to me s.m.h.
Rooney rule when?
Hurling and Gaelic football are truly white man sports.
gaa is the only true aryan pursuit
Ireland didn't have slavery
Nobody mentioning the blatant refball?? An unheard of 7 (SEVEN) minutes ""injury"" time allowing Mayo the chance to equalize. It should have been 4 max. Ridiculous.
Nice false flag
If Dublin weren't chimping out the entire game and Brogan didn't take 20 minutes to take a 45 maybe there would have been normal injury time.
>Aidan O'Shea's goal disallowed becuase he was fouled as it was on the ground
>swinging out of a player's neck is a yellow card
>Connolly gets away with repeatedly puching Keegan
You really got screwed out there.
The commentators predicted a lot of added time. I'm neutral (hate both counties) but that added time was justified. If you have a problem with it, get rid of Connolly. That knacker was the cause of most of it.
So will the replay be two weeks Saturday evening?
Fuck off junkie knacker
Yup. Are you an expat or a big strong foreigner watching our sport?
The Irish were the slaves
Not him but I watch it and support Mayo because my mum's from Mayo and I've always watched the football.
Scumbag Mayo tactics and they still couldn't win. Hope they get smashed by 10 in the replay. Not to mention the 16th man in black playing for Mayo.
English from Irish family. I've been to Croke Park quite a few times- went to the Hurling final a few years ago.

Seeing all the dubs chimping out in this thread is bringing me joy. Dublin should be embarassed.
ur mad. why so mad.
When you're used to having refs favour you non-stop, a ref that is fairly even handed must seem like bias
nonsense. refs are biased against dublin. If you can't see this then you're biased yourself.
>dublin player is fouled
>ref gives free against him for touching the ball on the ground
>dublin player gets black/red/yellow
>opposition player get nothing for identical foul
>dubs get called for steps

GAA trying to level the playing field because we are so GOAT. And we still win anyway.
Dublin a shit 2bh
Dont really care who wins as long as its not Dublin
>>dubs get called for steps
>>no other team ever does
>I only ever watch games that Dublin play in
You're also forgetting the foul on O'Shea that should have been a black card, Cillian O'Connor's neck being used as a swing and Connolly starting a fight with Keegan and then repeatedly punching him. There was also the ridiculous decision when O'Shea was in front of goal and his marker started swinging out of him and it was given as a free out.
There were some daft decisions, but they evened themselves out, if not slightly favoured the Dubs. I'm speaking as a Galway man. I fucking hate Mayo as much if not more than Dublin, so I'm not biased here.
>yfw we were Gaelic football world champions last year
>implying Leitrim's minor team wouldn't piss on any team in that competition

fuck that word and yer mam
Everyone goes on about cluxton and his short kicks and how he's a marvelous goalkeeper but I really think David Clarke did better out there today.
If you push up on Cluxton he falls apart. The only reason his kickout stats are so high is because the Dublin attack is so good people are terrified to do anything but sit back, which means their defence get easy possession.
Don't get me wrong, Cluxton was excellent when he was in his prime, but he's been living off his meme status for about 3 years now. He's not even a very good shotstopper.
