All Ireland Football Final 2017 Mayo V Dublin

[Main Street]

That was a riveting game from start to finish. The dubs also have plenty of bottle when needed to throw into the mix when a game goes to the wire.

Sometimes life aint fair, sometimes you dont always get the girl of your dreams, sometimes the bad guy does win, life aint fairytales and sometimes the best team doesn't win.

Mayo posters, please refrain from more ref bashing. We had the winning of that game but didn't do it. We need to focus on what we can improve and not  wallow in self pity.

Well said.

Another chapter for the house of pain for Mayo. Mayo were 4 or 5 points the better team in the 1st half and i think only leading by 1 is what cost them the most. 2nd half Dublin were the better team with a better bench. Outscored Mayo 0-12 to 1-7 and most of Dublins scores came from play. Not sure what Vaughan was thinking a real silly sending off that gave the dubs the inches to win today.

Anyway whats done is done now. Dublin remain the team to beat and the hardest team to beat but this Mayo side more than any other team will be back next year looking to be that team to beat them.

Donal Vaughan typifies the stupidity of this mayo team and why they will surely not win an AI. Beyond stupid.

Saying that, most of the mayo team were outstanding today. Many of the lesser know known players have been heroic all year - Barrett, McLaughlin, Doherty, parsons etc.

The Rhubarbs got some welcome into it . You'd think they won.....

I'd love the camera to go there and all the Mayo players blocked on the dance floor playing air guitar and their ties around their heads.

Jim Gavin and Cluxton like lads at a wake.

Did anyone notice Lee Keegan fire something at the ball just as Rock struck the winning free? Kilkenny noticed this and ran straight at him which led to his black card. During this commotion Keegan picked up the object and handed it to Tony McEntee who put it in his pocket. It was a completely shitty  act from a player I admire massively.

It was a great contest today. After the dust settles I think that it comes down to this, Dublin are the best team in Ireland. A team full of outstanding footballers and athletes. Today they faced a Mayo team who individually are not as good as the dublin players but play with such fight and spirit that rises them as a team to play at the absolute best of their ability. They just ran out of steam in the last 10 mins and just couldn't get the ball in their hands. Vaughan seeing red, missed goal chance and even keegan peno, they needed one of them to go their way. How they keep coming back from such blows I'll never know. As for the dubs, they are a pleasure to watch, they should great courage today in what was their only tough game this year. They have done football a great service by trashing Tyrone and showing everyone that no more can an all Ireland be won playing mass defensive rubbish.

McCarthy MOTM. More than justified.

Sporting a nice shiner too.

Yep that's right. A midfielder who got so cleaned out on his own kickouts that his keeper never went long the entire second half.

McCarthy was good today. But if kicking two points is what it takes to win this award, then measure everyone who does it equally.
