To me Clarkes kick outs and brainfreeze under high balls probably make Comerford nailed on for keeper.

What about the shot he caught over the bar and the saves he made from Fenton (x2).

One ended up a goal didn't it. His rushing of kick outs near full time put them three points behind. His decision making on high ball was shocking and coming of line.

It was still a great save, little he can do about one of his own men tapping it into his net.

Clarke has been the best keeper this year, he's made a number of crucial saves at huge moments. I think you can forgive him a couple of poor kick outs.

If Dublin somehow manage to lose to Mayo. Will it be the first time that a losing finalist wins more all stars than the winning team?

Nope. Meath got 6 in 1991 and Down got 4. James McCartan got man of the match in the AIF and didnt get an Allstar.

Which, in a way, tells you who the real champions were that year.

The Leinster council?

We saved the GAA.
A small bit of gratitude wouldn't go astray.
If you were any use you'd be playing.

Think of Meath
Think of what 25 years ago means to them
Send what you can to me Patricia McLoughlin
Wireless for the hopeless

According to Spillane, Kerry & Dublin saved the GAA in the 70s

Say Mayo had won. The forward allstars would have been decided by the rain. That is not right.

O'Connor has 9 points from play in 8 games in Championship this season. He should not be in contention.

he has been absolutely instrumental in Mayo getting to the final this year and almost winning the thing. He carries the weight of the team a lot of the time in respect of his free taking. Do frees not count?

Whether he gets in or not is subjective but he should definitely be in contention at least. I'd have it as a toss up between him and Rock, would have no arguments if Rock beat him to it, similar type players.

I'd have Harrison in at corner back ahead of McMahon or Higgins.
If you were any use you'd be playing.
