Up the white and green I say

[Bogmetaller]

The crazy results in the football tie nicely into my theory that sport without spectators is influencing outcomes more than I would have thought. Also funny to see how everybody in Tipp suddenly loves the football.

Oh it is 100% a factor. I have no doubt that Celtic wouldn't be as poor in the soccer if there was crowds at the games.

[Don Gately]

Yes it has been well proven that home advantage influences referees enough to make an overall difference.

[Caomhaoin]

No shtopping Luimneach, no contest really today.

[Don Gately]

They are a massive team. I actually think defenders need to be a step ahead of them to have any chance.

[Caomhaoin]

They were totally dominant. If it wasn't for the lash of frees they gave away in the first half, it would have been like 2008 for Waterford.

Some of the scores from Gillane and Flanagan were unbelievable.

I fear the Dubs will make it 6 on Saturday. I hope I'm proved wrong, but the way they've swatted away all comers this year at a canter, it'll be very tough for Mayo. You could argue they are evenly matched in the forwards, but conceding 3-13 against Tipp tells its own story.

A mayo win would really epitomise what 2020 has been as a whole and I think nearly everyone would like to see it . Unfortunately there is absolutely no chance of it happening - Mayos year to win it was 2017 and they fucked it. They must be up there as the team that has lost the most finals in any code in the world.

Yeah 2017 was fucked. I don't agree though that Mayo have no chance. We've ran Dublin close in most finals. Both teams are capable of putting up huge scores. I believe it will be close again on Saturday.

[Pedrito]

They might do it because their fans aren't there thus year. I always feel their fans lose the head when they go ahead especially in the semis or finals I've been to and it affects the players on the pitch. Could be the year.

[Cailleach]

Limerick are beginning to look like Kilkenny when they were dominant. Is it true they use some of the same personnel(back room staff) as Munster do.

As for Mayo's chances next weekend. Dublin have had it far too easy. Mayo have a midfield now that is athletic and mobile, they are capable of giving Fenton a hard time. Dublin will probably win it, but i think it will be a close game.

[Caomhaoin]

Yeah Dublin are definite favourites, but stranger things have happened. The Mayo forwards were busting a gut and swashbuckling all over the place against Tipp, mighty stuff. Please Jaysus, I could t stomach six in a row but it's likely to have to be swallowed.

I agree about the Limerick - Kilkenny comparisons. They didn't look like losing for a single minute yesterday evening. I had the Limerick FM commentary on, it was so amazing. A mucker and Ciarán Carey (sounded like he'd had a few scoops), some of their huff was class -'Hegarty is ice cold, cool as a breeze...to the left and wide'

We have some full forward line now with O'Shea, Cillian and Tommy Conroy. Its Conroy coming into the team that has had the most effect as it's taking the pressure of Cillian O'Connor. Hopefully ta fuck we do it this year. If not I'm still hopeful for the future as Horan is blooding a lot of youth, and this time they are actually good.

[Ollkiller]

The nearly annual losing day is here again. It's the fucking hope that kills ya. HON MAYO!!!

[Caomhaoin]

Would you take another four years of Trump for Sam?

Yes. A million times over. Tbh there's hardly anything I wouldn't take to get Sam.
