Retirements

[seafoid]

Thanks for the memories Andy. Pity he didn't get the All Ireland medal he craved.

There were structural reasons behind that.
The future will probably look on now differently.
He lost 5 all Ireland finals but it's different to say DB .

A bit cryptic there seafóid?
You'll have to break that down for me.

He shouldn't retire. He should've started v Dublin

Irreplaceable

Shouldn't be let retire

[Captain Obvious]

Irreplaceable

I think the last game he started was against Armagh. Given the impact role since then for a reason and why he's decided to retire (mileage on the clock)

Had the debate tonight in local and would say he could go on no bother. Most influential Mayo forward of my near enough half century . 

One of all time Mayo greats.

He's nearly 36. Running a successful business. Has a young family. Sometimes you have to put your family first.

His business thrives on his profile - more power to him. Thought he was underused this championship.

An absolute Mayo stalwart down the years.  I didn't think he would get near the player he turned out to be when he came on the IC scene first.  His hard work and dedication in achieving that would be a great lesson to any young lad starting out today.  I wish him well in his retirement and hope he has a few years left in him to enjoy with his club.

My point about him having to start v Dublin was that there is no point bringing on your goal getter or goal or score maker after the game is gone and your 12 points down. He HAD to start

Very very poor by Horan

Him and Star Donaghey best players to watch for me in recent years... Love a ball winner from ball kicked in early... Electric atmosphere, the football we all love

[Farrandeelin]

He can go back to being a Rossie again now.

Can he really? Such scummy comments on stolensheep about him I'm not sure he would.

[Rossfan]

He is a Rossie to start with

[TheGreatest]

Good player, a servant of 17 years to the cause is to be admired. I am being genuine here, in his prime, would he make the Dublin team in the 6 forwards? Or Kerry or Tyrone forward 6 of the noughties?

Mayo tactics 1st half wasn't based on goal creating, scoring or kicking the ball in early. Their focus was on defending in numbers, intensity in the tackle, ball retainment and the majority of their points taking came from long range shooting.

Horan wasn't that poor in that regard, afterall they led Dublin by 2 points and held them to 0-6 in the 1st half.

Seeing that his prime was probably two years ago when named footballer of the year and scored 3-24 from play that summer the short answer would be yes.

[The Trap]

Always thought Andy Moran was fantastic and loved seeing how he created space for himself even when he lost a bit of space. One of my favourite players. However I was disappointed with how he threw in the towel in his last appearance. I know he was put on too late but he literally didn't try a leg!
