We go again.

And this time Jim Gavin has decided to stick. With a Saturday replay we are in the unusual situation of not knowing the Dublin and Mayo teams until a day before the game - it is like having Giovanni Trapattoni back in our lives. Whether you put it down to Mayo doggedness or Dublin under-performing, everyone expects the reigning champions to deliver a better performance in Saturday evening's replay. To that end Gavin has stuck with the same 15 that drew 2-9 to 0-15 with Mayo on September 18. https://twitter.com/SportsJOEdotie/status/781825567695970304 Kevin McManamon keeps his place despite many anticipating Paddy Andrews coming in to replace him - Andrews, incidentally, was superb when he came on for the black-carded James McCarthy in the drawn game. But Jim Gavin has kept the faith. https://twitter.com/DubGAAOfficial/status/781954441817751552 Or he'll just announce three or four changes to the programme before the game. Will it be Mayo (or the Dubs) 4 Sam? Wooly, Paul Galvin and Conán Doherty preview Saturday’s All-Ireland final replay.
