It must be in his contract or something.
Was hoping it would be Darragh Maloney.

God, I remember playing a few underage games in a downpour wearing those heavy cotton jerseys.
They'd weigh half a stone by the end of it.

And god love the poor fella having to carry the bag of jerseys home for the wash and them weighing ten tonne.

Not sure I believe in the idea that Dublin just had a bad day at the office nor do I believe they suffered because of the rain. They won an All-Ireland in far worse conditions last year. Two of their starting forwards have been off form all year and I see no reason why they would suddenly rediscover that form before the final. Additionally Mayo are more than a match for Dublin physically and I actually thought they out muscled Dublin throughout the match last Sunday. What should be concerning from a Dublin point of view is that their players looked out on their feet towards the end. Mayo looked the fresher team both mentally and physically.

Why Martin Carney again? He played (and managed underage) for Mayo! Should it not be someone from Ulster/Munster?

or............ for all mayo's apparent dominance it was still the team in blue that created 4 goals chances,kicked 3 easy points into the goalies hands and watch a sub totally miscue a simple point along the ground in the dying minutes. They did all that on a bad day - you' wonder what they'll do if they actually do play well.

That's an excellent piece seafoid, and it's so true about the BS media narratives after the game. If the roles were reversed Mayo would be a laughing stock (wrongly of course).

Yeah, Darragh is immeasurably better.

Carney is biased but still better than Tom by a country mile

You've missed my point. I'm questioning the very narrative that Dublin simply had one off day and that it could never happen again. That's such an unsatisfactory explanation for their performance on Sunday, completely void of any real thought or analysis, and it shows blatant disrespect to the opposition. My point was that from a Dubs point of view, I would be concerned about whether Dublin are as fresh as Mayo and whether they could be physically and mentally out-muscled. Mayo look steelier than ever and they seem to have timed things very well to be hitting peak physical fitness for later in the year. The trek through the qualifiers can do wonders for the body and mind. They looked like they could have kept going the last day, while the dubs looked liek they couldn't get out of there quick enough.
and as much as people keeping harping on about Dublin's scope for improvement, so too do Mayo have room for improvement. They can get better performances out of their key individuals and I'm sure they'll do something about Fenton as he seems to make Dublin tick and was highly influential on sunday. Put someone with a good engine on him and keep him quiet and it would go a long way to helping their cause.

Mayo created 3 goal chances, 1 blocked, 1 blasted over the bar and 1 harshly blown for a free out.

As for kicking the ball into the keeper's hands, isn't that Joe Brolly's proof that Lee Keegan is a loser and capitulates under pressure?

I'm not with you on the brolly reference as I honestly don't listen to him anymore.All i know is that it's criminal wastage - Rock's one in the 2nd half in particular was just poor full stop. As for the goal chances - there was nothing harsh about the free out. That was a clear push and he blew for it immediately. However, that's all detail.My point is that for all the talk about how poor Dublin were they left close to 10 points out there due to poor finishing and I don't expect them to do that again.

The point that Malachy Clerking made so well is that you, and most others, only bother analysing one half of the puzzle.
