Mayo haven't been on dis ting since 1951: ILF welcomes all comers to Cluiche Cheannais na hÉireann 2013

All set for it, think I've got a pub to watch in.

alright, first post on ilf. Going well so far.

gtfo newbie

My interest in GAA has waned since Limerick crapped out against Clare tbh. Who is this player for Mayo that everyone's raving about?

Just webmailed you about this DMac.

My heart and family loyalties say Mayo, my head says Dublin.

Anyone going? Tickets like hens teeth.

Does this mean that I can post about the rugby on here without getting laughed out of town? cz no one even mentioned the Lions tour while it was happening so far as i could make out, total travesty

♫♪ you're windsor davies
you post what you want ♪♫

You can start a thread i guess but iirc there were ile threads tbf

Tickets arent a fuckin hope. Brother got 1 through contacts, they're trickling down but the system of allocating them out through clubs and organisations around the country means its not a market as such, its a game of who you know. He's not mad into it but feels it'd be bad form to sell.

I'll be watchin at home then joinin achill cru up around croker when we win.

Get an ip shielder and rte player will sort ye out folks btw

looked about ile for threads at the time, couldn't find any, assumed after a cursory glance through some older threads on the topic that rfu was just the sort of bourgie noncery that the stern stock of ilx had no truck with

It is today

The mayo player everyone is raving about is the redeveloped aidan o'shea, always a fielder of note but physically reconditioned over the summer to a cross between longcat and a sherman tank. His fetching of the high ball above a forest of thuggery is rivalled as a sight this year only by his can't-fail method of seeking out opposition defenders to run over on his maraudings.

O'Connor starts tomorrow with a dislocated shoulder not fully healed. Seven minutes max.

I think we had a Lions thread. I know Six Nations has a couple of threads on ILE.

I can only see a 'Young Lions' thread

Don't care for rugger myself but imo ILF should offer a home to all your poor neglected sports, your huddled bantzes

Minors doing a fucking job on tyrone

But a match in it yet

Che O'Donnell on for Tyrone I wonder how votes his Faither

INTENSE START

mayo 0-1

stick yr hawkeye up yer arse, bet its a dub working it

cheap ball out of hand from cafferkey gives it back to dubs easy kicking distance out 0-1 to 0-1

mayo intensity giving them opportunites, which they are missing. must be a final

0-3 to 0-1 but letting them away with it not to already be five up

one on one the mayo halfline have them scared, three points in it

shitty goal conceded from allardycesque punt all level

dub on the back foot but comfortable there while mayo struggle to turn it into points, one in it to the eventual winners

another soft wide from mcloughlin, the theo walcott of this final

Lots of wides. Dublin taking time getting into it!

Bloody hell @ crossbar!

thought that hennelly stopped it

dublin much more penetrating when they get it in attack, but holding it in reserve yet

another great save hennelly, mayo look paperthin at the back

Hennelly justifying petrol money. Dublin seem to be pushing now.

seven mayo wides yet, a lot of them gettable

right, spurs stream on, two screens max, see ye the other end

and commiserations

A lot of sloppy play from both teams

(xpost) Perhaps. It's a tough one to call. Will look like Cork supporters have swamped stadium by end with amount of red in crowd from sunburn.

Dublin out of jail in an incredible way to be only a point down. Awful mistake by the Mayo keeper.

Very poor game so far, which is a shame.

And shit by cluxton too. Game on.

Just as Dublin were getting back into it

Just as

MDMA

MDMA rushing thru

Dublin know how to win

Ref has been woeful all day, erratic on both sides.

Yeah agreed, not biased but shit

He doesn't know what a foul is.

Mayo determined to cause nervous breakdowns...

Ref not great

There we are

Cant say ye didnt deserve it lads, to win a final you just need to win it

Four players managed to lose ball in front of Dublin goal ffs

And rte player crashed. Typical

MAYO!

NOT REALLY

17.00

Lads

Of all years...... surely

I knew putting this in ILF was a mistake

Lads this is the fuckin one, read this and tell me you're not a mayoman

We are all of us mayomen

well David Hickey as a urologist is used to talking pish, up the MAYO

Your support is noted and appreciated

Not even nervous for this, because ive been watching the grinch and now phineas fogg sure how could u be worried

Well the pattern is set as always

Outplay em, between conceding all those goals

I just tuned in now. Dublin got a goal in 2 seconds or some shit?

14

Mayo level by two mins

Playing pure shite

Hand passing woeful

Be nice to actually make em work for it

Mmm lovely point

All level but not much good when we have to kill ourselves for it and they can saunter up and destroy us in the last half hour

Its like the dubs have agreed to spar with us, everyone knows they will get a goal on demand

Mayo backline is weak, and not just vs dub forwards, sleepy stuff

Decent spells of play but really need to make the man advantage count

Ref has utterly fucked us with two calls there

Walk in croke park from here

Put a fork in em, they're done

The greatest team of all time playing at home with unlimited finacial and personnel resources shouldn't need ref decisions to win matches, just an opinion

Flat is an understatement

Any other two teams any other stadium thats a red obv

Mayo have burst their arse to get this close, dubs will close it out handy from here with 15 men

Maybe not but the extra three men will come in handy from now on

Mayo lead, this is the dark moment

thoughts and prayers

Eight minutes to midnight lads

The interest is in how we manage to fuck this

Ans is ofc a soft goal

Six minutes to midnight

Still only the inevitable goal in it

Will it be a keeper error, an OG, will it be from a particularly unnecessary turnover?

Time will tell

well i'm gonna listen to Iron Maiden now so there's at least that

Fear of Croke Park

:D <3

Jesus big hits this late

Kerry will make shit of us no doubt

Game on here but kerry should have enough from here

Im in bits

Id rather dublin or kerry than these fuckin cool customer bandits

Kerry seemed to be very dependent on Clifford, thought theyd be a lot better.

Tyrone surprise teams that are far better on paper by dictating terms

If mayo allow them to do that they will lose

Early in the day for a second bottle but here i am

If thats United its a pen

Two nothing goals given, three good chances spurned, a penalty missed

Why would god help mayo any more than he already does, the fuckin wasters

Absolutely rank mental performance from mayo, got what they deserved
