O'Shea was poor, but there were 6 or 7 players even poorer than him today, don't see anybody mention them.
That can be the only answer as to why Horan didn't take him off like he did v the Dubs. I wouldn't say there was anyone poorer, but there were a few as bad.

Name them.. I'd argue Hennelly was maybe worse than him but that would be it

Donegal lad behind Hampsey making a show of himself and his county 😆

Nothing to do with the rest of us.

I expect his family will be mortified though.

What a gobshite.

Spoiled rotten brat with rich parents, could do with a good kick up the hole.

Tyrone were the better team throughout. Mayo were the making the same routine mistakes which I thought they would have rectified. ]

Tyrone bench was also very strong and made a bg impact. McShane and Canavan.

Mayo got what they deserved, especially O Shea and Horan. When AOS done a Baywatch spread in the Sunday World and Horan letting it happen, you do these when you've a pocket full of medals. Them two men are all about themselves and not willing to make the sacrifices need to win Celt Crosses. Dave Hickey or Bernard Flynn a few years ago were not far wrong.

Absolutely. When there's a "running on a beach in speedos for the newspaper" championship, he'll win the medal.

Beating the Dublin streak is a bit like winning an All Ireland.  ;D

And also, without any doubt whatsoever, Lee Keegan is the greatest player never to win an All Ireland. Might well be the greatest player ever. He's just extraordinary.

Was brilliant all day bound to be sick this evening!
Have te say I agree with yous lads, an absolutely incredible footballer.

Conor Loftus had a not too difficult 1-3, and finished with 0-0.
Diarmuid O'Connor was very quiet.
AOS is great for the throw-ins , but did very little positive work otherwise.
Not really fair to say who was worse, but Horan had a lot of options regarding who to take off.

Loftus, O'connor, Ruane, K McLoughlin, young ginger lad playing wing forward, and that's just the forwards

Downfall in AI finals for Mayo under Horan was conceding goals.

2012 v Donegal 2-11 to 0-13 (13 scores each)
2013 v Dublin 2-12 to 1-14 (14 scores v 15)
2020 v Dublin 2-14 to 0-15 (16 scores v 15)

If Tyrone are to win the final i feel they'll have to score at least 2 goals, easier said that done especially if Mayo defend as well as they did against Dublin.

Same downfall for Mayo under Horan in AI final and Tyrone got both goals easier than expected.

Well done Tyrone enjoy the celebrations.

It's seems fairly mad that Tyrone are going to win Sam here and I wouldn't have had them near the top of the contenders this year, and I don't even think they were especially impressive today.

But at the end of the day they got through all their games, and they've certainly been the better team today. So it's not undeserved at all.
Absolutely deserving winners.

And must be some teams in Ulster especially who think they are very close to Tyrone. Teams who thought they were a million miles away from Sam and now might think it's something to realistically aim for.
