I don't think we're in the realms of the past where we give up before a ball is kicked. We are better than that now, I just think it's a step too far given the mess of the last few months.

I shall be trying to watch the match and the Mayo V Tyrone match in the All Ireland Final at the same time which is most inconvenient scheduling.

What are you thinking re Mayo v Tyrone? You couldn't back Mayo with stolen money in a final...but I hope they do it

History weighs heavy for Mayo, that's probably their biggest hurdle to overcome. The semi against Dublin may also be looked upon as a peak but I'm hopeful they can win. I'll take a Mayo win and Villa loss or vice versa.

Will be trying to watch both down the Sacred Heart by the Villa. My family are Dubs but the wifes are from Mayo, so hoping they break the curse.
Cant see much for Villa today, standard 2-0 to Chelsea, given the injuries, lack of game time, international mess for us.

In terms of the team

Steer
Cash
Konsa
Mings
Targett

Luiz
McGinn
Ramsey

Ings
Watkins
Bailey

Yeah that's the team I'd pick

I have just seen that we are 9/1 to win with the bookies. Cheeky f*ckers.


Free money, you say?

Still feel they should be getting a wage.

A lot of them are teachers or office boys these days. You would want to have a fairly supportive employer in any case. The days of blocklayers or farmers playing inter county after a days manual labour are fairly rare.
