McStay obviously wants to keep his €€€€€€gig.

Or he did his job and called it right

Still and all, one can understand why 'the thrill had gone'  for Dr Frank. In most other counties such a player and offspring would have been held in the highest esteem for eternity and  he would have played at county level until the arthritis kicked in into both hips.

The worst part is Dublin aren't even footballers anymore. The money thing was one thing when they had Connolly, Brogan etc, those were generational talented footballers.

Dublin are just athletes now, they're a professional outfit against amateurs and that's all.

+1.  Nail on the head.

Mayo not that awful far away, haven't seen stats but seemed to do better than expected on kickouts. Durcan a huge loss so early on. there's definitely an AI in that Mayo team.

Great montage. Forget about the football bit. The aul fella alone in the house and the kid at the window, Jesus I was nearly in tears I tell you. What a b*****d of a time people have had to deal with. Some more so than others.

You'd wouldn't have thought McStay was from Mayo. He was more biased towards Dublin. Looking for the O Connors to be carded, saying Cooper should stay on because he was sent off last year.. Generally foaming over Dublin
They are good but no need for theatrics

That was terrible fawning over 'poor' Johnny Cooper alright.

Gaelic football is broken.

Intercounty Gaelic football is inequitable , but some great football this year at club and county level. Split season will help level things, getting Dublin out of Croke park is essential. Regulation of sponsorship/spread of monies is essential. But ultimately if our games are going to meet our potential , splitting Dublin is the way to go.

Don't think team will be happy with skill execution and decision making coming down the straight. The disparity in quality of depth between teams evident again. Progress made this year , few warriors might not be seen again..christ, they've given some service.

It is what it is. Dublin have better players than us. To have a chance we needed everything to go in our favour.

We can't afford to lose a player like Paddy Durcan at half time. We can't afford to have Jason Doherty and Brendan Harrison sitting in the stand for a full championship.

Lee Keegan got a black card in 2016 on a 50:50 decision. Jonny Cooper didn't get one in the 2nd half today. Fitzsimons arguably should have seen red in the 2nd half today yet we didn't even get a free.

Just to reiterate, I'm not being bitter as Dublin have better players than us. Everything had to go our way to win and it didn't.

They don't get sent off because they play for Dublin. It's been like that for a long time

To be fair, this is true, especially with Coldrick, who is awful referee. The GAA goes out of its way to protect refs who are criticised, sad.

Seriously?
It was a foul, defo yellow.

Coopers was on the edge but no double yellows and was cleverly taken off

Where are all the clowns now, mainly from Derry who were saying it was the right decision to send of McGeary in Galway. Fitzsimon's was a far worse challenge yesterday and there wasn't even a free awarded.

I didn't/couldn't watch RTE. Sky was brilliant. Grainne mcelwain top notch, Donaghy excellent and always great craic. Mcguinness intense genius. Canavan knowledgeable and engaging ( even threw in a Healy-Rae jibe at Donaghy) . No personal insults, pathetic sound-bites, no contrived humour, no "back in my day"drivel, no disrespect, no partisan pundits/presenters,  graphics much better........if only it was free to view.
