Seems to be an awful lot of arguing over the positions of the also rans

That's the rub, Mac. As tough as today was to watch, if Mayo went on and beat Dublin and showed that all romance and intrigue hasn't been robbed from inter-county football it would be worth it. This sport is slowly dying at the top level.

We have a superpower and two teams that can give them a game of if conditions are right. This is a supposedly amateur sport, of course. Maybe Tyrone can give them a game too, but I have severe doubts. I'm not sure anyone can genuinely stop Dublin when they turn up, complacency is more their enemy than any county.
Hard luck, Syf. It is a horrible feeling going home after a loss like that.
It's all about learning from the bad days.

Tyrone haven't got to a final, Bomber. It does mean something outside your head.

Introspection seems to be lost on you.

Anything to take your mind off the fact Galway football is dead and has the ignominy of being on a streak of 10 straight Championship defeats at Croke Park
Sure haven't we got the hurlers to focus on now ?
Who cares about losing streaks. We'll have the makings of a good team again. Ni uasal agus iseal ach thuas seal agus thios seal
Many of us remember when ye didn't have an arse in your football trousers
Tyrone were so excited to make it to a semi in 95

Bizarre outlook.

Galway football has had the makings of a good team for 15 years plus but they have shipped nothing only hammerings in Croke Park.

Jasus lads that was awful from us today.
We were back to our worst NFL stuff and seemed totally physically unable to perform 8 days after a big match unlike the Rhubarbs who upped things in a big way.
Leaving Fintan and CiarĂ¡in off was very strange and while Fitzmaurice wasn't too bad it was baffling springing him from nowhere in such a major game.
Not a time for pointing fingers at individual players but fee emerged with much credit today.
A very disappointing end to a good Summer.
Back to the drawing board.
Davy's given us a dream to cling to
We're going to bring home the SAM

9 years to 1934 and 38
18 years to 1956
8 years to  64 65 then 66
32 years to 98 then 01

16 years is within the standard deviation

You're very naive.

Galway football, like Meath, is dead, never to return again.

You're wasting your breath there Seafoid. Il Bomber Destro strikes me as a man who'll always struggle to separate the sheep from the Goethes.

Rudi

Great performance from Mayo. Credit to where credit is due. This team have been wonderful for the past 7 years. Our lot were a shambles but hopefully will winter well and step up another bit next year and try to win a championship game in Croke Park.

twohands!!!



The stat that jumps out to me is only 18 out of 37 scoring chances from play converted for Mayo.

On a day when Roscommon's defence was MIA that's pretty poor stuff and I think that's whats going to trip them up against Kerry.

Tubberman

Wow, mojo back from Mayo!
Felt bad for Rossies (once they were well and truly buried), we had horrible days in 04/06. Can't doubt these boys, only support them as best we can. Legends

Pure dirt from Cregg today by the way.
DOC got away the whole game hitting and pulling off the ball. he swung twice for roscommon players
going around looking to antagonise opponents. even managed to get his two feet into Diarmuid Murtagh and it wasn't noticed by any official
he's a disgrace
