What time is Tyrone v Mayo on today in the All-Ireland SFC and is it on TV?

Mayo will still have a chance to salvage their season against Donegal if it goes south for them in Omagh this evening, but it would be a long shot. The fallout from the Cavan defeat has been considerable, followed by Kevin McStay's health forcing him to step back, and there's a feeling that the season can't end quick enough.
Mayo have thrived in these conditions before and may confound everyone again. But it just feels like they're not quite good enough this time.
Verdict: Tyrone
Where is the game being played?
The game is being played at O'Neills Healy Park in Omagh.
What time is throw-in?

Final games of SFC round-robin format will be more fun than a piñata at a children's party

It's time to mention the J word. No, not Jimmy's winning matches again. Or Joyce's Galway salvaging a draw from the clutches of championship elimination. Or Jarly Óg kicking points against the Dubs in Croker. No, the J word. Jeopardy. You wanted it, you got it. The final round of games in what is to be the last iteration of this All-Ireland senior football championship round-robin format will be stuffed with as much excitement as a piñata at a kids' birthday party. READ MORE The permutations and possibilities at play for the round-three matches in two weeks are a number-cruncher's fantasy – for peril awaits behind the gates of all the neutral venues that will host these fixtures. Armagh , the 2024 All-Ireland champions, are safe. Kerry , the 2025 All-Ireland favourites, are also safe. Monaghan , Down and Meath are also assured of a place in the knock-out stages. For the remaining 11 teams, a plethora of outcomes remain on the table. Mostly, though, the dice will be rolled for progression or elimination. This format in which three teams from each group progress has generated justifiable criticism, but there is no denying the shake-out leaves so much up for grabs in the last round of games. Group one is as tight as a sailor's knot. All four teams – Donegal , Mayo , Tyrone , Cavan – are tied on two points. In the final round of matches Donegal will play Mayo while Tyrone face Cavan. 'It's a huge game, absolutely huge,' Jim McGuinness, the Donegal manager, said when asked about the prospect of facing a previously dead but now resurrected Mayo side. That 'huge game' won't be an outlier. There will be knock-out football taking place all across the four groups in a fortnight. Take this season's group of death, group four. Galway , last year's beaten All-Ireland finalists, were on Sunday within seconds of becoming the only team with nothing left to play for in the competition. Had they succumbed to Derry at Celtic Park, coupled with Armagh's victory over Dublin , the Connacht champions would have been cut adrift from finishing in the top three. With Derry and Dublin playing in the final round of games, even a Galway victory over Armagh wouldn't have been enough to overtake Derry or the Dubs because of their head-to-head record. But Matthew Tierney's late goal has kept them alive, for now. Derry did subsequently get back down the field where Conor Doherty kicked an equaliser, but having hung over the cliff edge for so long in Derry, Galway were relieved to accept the salvation of a draw.

Photograph: Lorcan Doherty/INPHO 'Gladly take a point there the way we played in the game, to be honest,' Galway manager Pádraic Joyce said afterwards. 'Fair play to Derry, we knew they were going to bring a big fight and they did, they were really good. 'And I'm delighted to get out with a point because if we didn't get a point we'd be out of the championship, so at least we have something to play for in the last game. 'We're in the toughest group in it, there's no doubt about that. If we're not good enough to come out of the group we're not good enough to go on and do whatever we want to do in our own heads.' With Armagh (four points) already qualified, one wonders does manager Kieran McGeeney now rotate his squad? The game might be a repeat of last year's All-Ireland final, but it's a match for which the stakes are much greater for Galway than they are for Armagh. Galway have just one point after two games. And what now of the Dubs (2pts)? Derry (1pt) have shown signs of life again during this round-robin series. For both teams, everything is on the line in two weeks. 'That's the challenge for us now,' Dubs manager Dessie Farrell said. 'We're into knock-out football at this stage and that was always coming, maybe two weeks earlier than we would have liked. 'But that possibility was always there, so we're in it now and we just need to put the best foot forward and embrace the challenge.' As for group two, Kerry (4pts) will play Meath (3pts) in their final match while Roscommon (1pt) and Cork (zero points) will fight it out to see who joins them in the knock-out stages. In group three, Down (4pts) and Monaghan (4pts) will face off in a straight shoot-out for top spot. The carrot for the four table-toppers is direct advancement to the All-Ireland quarter-final stages, which comes with the added prize of a week's break after the round-three matches. The second and third-placed teams will play a preliminary quarter-final that weekend – meaning the successful sides there must deliver three weeks on the trot. At the other end of group two, Louth (zero points) and Clare (zero points) will contest an elimination match – winner stays on, loser goes home. Cavan suffered the heaviest defeat of any team over the weekend, a 19-point hammering, yet because of their surprise victory over Mayo two weeks ago they too remain standing 'Look, we live another day,' Cavan manager Raymond Galligan said. 'We have two weeks to get ourselves prepared. And, you know, so much is still possible.' Isn't that the truth.

The Schemozzle: Tiered hurling system sending ill-prepared counties round in circles

'The success of these competitions in providing competitive games and a pathway to progress is a proven concept, so much so that it has inspired football to follow suit.' Those were the words of GAA president Jarlath Burns in the programme for Saturday's triple-header of Christy Ring, Nicky Rackard and Lory Meagher Cup finals . On closer inspection, while there is a pathway, teams often find themselves ill-prepared for progress when they achieve it. The grim reality is that teams who lift silverware in the bottom two tiers usually find themselves out of their depth at the next level up. Relegation often follows, before they win again at the lower level and repeat the process. In recent years, the record of teams at the next grade up, after winning the Rackard or Meagher Cup, has been very poor. The last three champions of both competitions have a combined win rate of 17 per cent in their first season at the higher grades. The upshot is that the same counties tend to dominate the lower tiers. Instances of counties progressing up the ranks and consolidating are very rare. READ MORE Mayo, for example, have played in five of the last 10 Rackard Cup finals, winning it twice and losing Saturday's final by a point against Roscommon. Donegal have won the same competition four times since 2013, while Kildare have won the Christy Ring Cup five times since 2014. Red Hand rising – but how high? While it's happened several times in hurling, 50 years have passed since Kerry managed a unique feat in football, winning the All-Ireland senior, minor and under-21 titles in the same season. Five decades on, could Tyrone repeat it? The Red Hand are on a high at underage level, having claimed three of the last four All-Ireland under-20 titles. Their latest success was highly impressive as they beat Armagh, Derry and Donegal in Ulster. Then they overcame Kerry by six points before beating Louth, 5-16 to 0-17, in last Wednesday's All-Ireland final. Tyrone also claimed the Ulster minor championship and will now face Cork in the All-Ireland quarter-final. Having also won the Ulster minor league, they are favourites to win the All-Ireland minor title. The closest Tyrone came to the unique hat-trick was in 2008 when they won the minor and senior All-Irelands, but their under-21s lost the Ulster semi-final to eventual provincial champions Down. Tyrone seniors are currently joint-fifth favourites for Sam Maguire, but their odds have lengthened since they were unexpectedly turned over at home against Mayo on Saturday. Bragging rights for brave Barry There was a delicious championship moment in the Laois v Offaly Tailteann Cup group game on Saturday. Six minutes into second-half injury-time, with Laois trailing their local rivals by a point, 3-16 to 2-18, Laois were awarded a penalty. Stepping up to take it was Mark Barry, whose home club, O'Dempsey's, straddles the border between the two counties. A draw or victory would have ensured qualification to a preliminary quarter-final for Laois, while there was a slim chance a loss would knock them out. Barry, who hadn't scored in the match, had a decision to make – knock it over the bar and guarantee a preliminary quarter-final or risk it for the same prize by going for goal. Laois were long overdue a win against Offaly. That and local bragging rights may have swayed things. Barry buried it and Laois won by two. Every point counts for Mayo Speaking of Tyrone, there was an unusual incident at the denouement of their loss to Mayo, as noted on social media by journalist Maurice Brosnan. 'Funny moment at the end of yesterday's game,' Brosnan posted. 'Ryan O'Donoghue turns to look at the clock and gets ready to kick it out. Mayo management start roaring to keep playing, score difference could matter. So he takes off and sets up Jack Coyne for his first ever championship point.' As it turned out, it is unlikely that score difference will come into play in that group. All four sides have a win on the board, so unless both of the final-day fixtures (Mayo v Donegal and Cavan v Tyrone) end in draws, there can't be any more than two teams on the same points, meaning the head-to-head rule will apply. Quote 'Over the last few years this particular group have been questioned for our commitment and our drive and I think today we answered a lot of f**king questions.' – Roscommon joint-captain Conor Mulry was a happy man after accepting the Rackard Cup. Number: 7 Two-pointers Monaghan scored in the second half of their win over Clare , who had scored four in the first half. Neither side managed an orange flag against the wind.
