He's an awful mean hoor. Will support anyone if the price is right. Sure he was at the same craic last year with Tipp.

How come Collins the Connacht final referee turned over a free he gave Mayo two minutes into the second half. He felt the free taker O Connor was time wasting. Mayo were four points down there was 33 minutes left and a gale was blowing. TV 3 timed the next free, awarded to Roscommon. They took longer but no throw up.
Now either there is a rule that applies to every team as regards the length that can be taken for a free kick or Collins had it in for mayo. If the criteria applying to O Connor of Mayo by Collins then Cluxton should have had that last ball thrown up. By the way I didn't think Cluxton was time wasting but neither was O Connor.

Nope he didn't have in for ye sure he gave you loads of soft frees during the game.

This bandwagon is going to get very crowded....

Congrats to Vodafone on winning Sam Maguire.

If this was the States Sam Maguire would have been raised by whoever pays up, not any of the players.

In fairness - this Tom Corr boy from Killiney is some craic isn't he?  (Mother of Jaysus there's one born everyday!!)

Whatever about the 2011 AI Final, the 1995 AI Final (between Dublin and Tyrone) was replayed yesterday in Dungannon in front of a large and appreciative crowd (Cian's 'Field of Dreams' charity fundraiser -- the opening of a new Thomas Clarke's training pitch).

Tír Eoghain prevailed on this occasion by two points, and whilst it would be unfair and somewhat churlish to rewrite the 1995 football annals on the basis of this single game alone, we have graciously combined the results of both 1995 and 2011 games... and we (still) win by a single point! 

It was an entertaining affair, with some players of that vintage in somewhat better shape than others; Paul Curran, Paul Clarke, Jim Gavin, Jayo & Pat Giroy for Dubs, and Ciarán Corr, Peter the Great, Sean Mc Laughlin, Ger Cavlan & Paul Devlin for ourselves, as examples of fit men in their forties. The bould Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh furnished us with a running (comical) commentary throughout, with no player escaping his scathing eye.

Fair dues to all (virtually all players and managements from both 95' squads were there), I'd imagine a good amount was raised -- all money raised went towards the NI Children's Hospice foundation, who were very supportive of young Cian (Corrigan) in the final months of his pitifully short life.

Good man Fear. Would anyone have a copy of either this years final or even that 1995 game? I need this years game live on RTE if possible , not the sunday game highlights. Who do ye think will get the MF allstars this year?
