Serious tension in the air on Facebook ahead of the Mayo and Dublin replay

Conan Doherty

The stress is getting the better of them.

Mayo and Dublin are set to lock horns for the fourth time in two championship campaigns and an All-Ireland title is on the line again.

The stories that have come out from the last game have only fueled the fire that burns between both rival counties. Question marks are on the heads of some Dublin lads. Lee Keegan and Diarmuid Connolly and bla bla bla. Stephen Cluxton’s kickouts, of course. Mayo missing the boat.

It’s a perfect storm that will only intensify once more come 5 o’clock on Saturday evening.

Here’s how both camps* have been dealing with the second build-up in as many weeks on Facebook.

*Not actually both camps.

4

Joe Brolly doesn’t look forward to football as much as he used to.

More philosophy from Pat.

6

The rest of The Sunday Game are flat out with their research.

It’s been a long week for a deep Lee Keegan.
