AIF 2021 -- Maigh Eo vs Tír Eoghain

[tonto1888]

Embarrassing from the Mayo forward line today. Yet again their piss poor forwards have been found out on the big day

Fortunately, those piss poor forwards were good enough to beat overfunded Dublin.

How many All Ireland titles/medals have those Dublin players? This year you had a Dublin squad who were running on empty and their priorities were other things than winning another All Ireland.

The reality is this Mayo squad isn't anywhere near the quality of the sides that pushed Dublin so close and they are as far away from winning Sam as they've ever been

And what were their priorities if not winning San? You are the sorest loser of anyone on this site

All the experts who never won a thing on here slagging AOS.  Wise up. He is what he is, has good days and bad days. Twice the player almost every person on this board ever was.

Three-time All-Ireland winner Hickey described Mayo as a "tragic outfit" prior to last December's final clash with Dublin

Well done to Tyrone, as I expected they won the game comfortably and had it under control from early on. I think at this stage they've pushed themselves up the rankings and are now probably the second best team in the country after Dublin with Kerry third.

Get some scientists in to study this strain of covid that the Tyrone boys caught.

That article is pure comedy gold..lamenting the hard done by Dubs and begrudgingly tipping Mayo to beat Kerry in the final.....with not a mention of Tyrone.

Didn't see it but my guess is:

RTE quiz joke
Loads of pints last night
Received a text msg from a former player
Aidan O'Shea is a joke

That's the link to Padraig's winning speech. A very under rated player.
       A credit to his county unlike the Donegal supporter behind him!

Fair play to Tyrone - worthy winners and hats off to their fans too, all of whom I found to be very gracious in victory. Some other counties' fans could learn a lot from them on how to behave themselves.

On the game itself - that was a very disappointing performance but you'd have to give credit to Tyrone for how they defended and managed their opposing players.

Leeroy once again outstanding for us, as was Stephen Coen. Other than those 2 with perhaps the odd exception, there was little to cheer in terms of performance.

We created a number of chances but just didn't convert them and that was pretty much the story of the day. The absence of Cillian is unquantifiable. Don't know if he would have been able to close the 5 point difference, but that's by the by now.

Yesterday was Tyrones day and I wish them well and may they enjoy their celebrations, they Certainly deserve it.

[yellowcard]

It was a better game than I expected and congratulations to Tyrone on a well deserved victory. Some achievement by Dooher and Logan in their first year in management and you have to have a grudging admiration for their ability to get the job done. It's only a matter of time now before they steal Downs mantle as the most successful team in the 6 counties.

For Mayo they just failed to perform and had about 5 good goal chances yet took none of them. They have an abundance of good running half backs but have a severe shortage of good inside forwards who can finish. They will come back again but that is no consolation the day after another devastating defeat.

Well done Tyrone better team won no question.
I thought you tightened up a tiny bit after the second goal and left the door slighty ajar for us but not long after you realised we were stuck in panic mode and drove it home with ease.
We were poor, error strewn on and off the pitch and seemed to be fighting against ourseleves as well as Tyrone to try and get into the game.
The scars from previous final losses I thought were evident today especially after the penalty miss when the harder we were trying the deeper we sank into a hole we couldn't get out of!
The second goal from Tyrone was quality and delivered at the perfect time and for me summed up the composure all Tyrone players showed once they got to the pitch of the game.
I feel for O'Shea as he is the lighting rod for all the annoyance of other counties who are sick of us wasting our chances in finals over and over again. Truth be told his time is likely done with Mayo now.
Horan needs to keep the youth drive going and I think Stephen Coen had quietly a great season for us.
One thing we haven't got right all season is our half forward line, from the very first league game it has been inconsistent in both play and selection.

Lastly to the couple of Dubs posters on here money can move you up a class but you are great example how money can never seem to buy you class.

Only on gaaboard  every discussion turns to Dublin. Plenty other threads for that. This is Tyrone day.

Brolly lettin rip....

Funny he thought they were the best thing since sliced bread after the Dublin game. Joe goes with the wind.

Funny he thought Mayo were dysfunctional before the Dublin semi and Dublin would destroy them. Then he produced no column the week after when Mayo beat them. Funny that. Asshole.

Long day yesterday, but a great days craic and atmosphere even with half the crowd.
Tyrone just seem to be better set up and there was some big performances by that Tyrone team. Not least in midfield were I was worried we would be overrun. McCurry has been a class act this year and I hope he uses it to push on over the next few years. And if him, McKenna, McShane, Canavan all continue to develop then it's an attack that can challenge with any County.
Mentions for Harte and Morgan as well as they were outstanding.

Can't not feel for the Mayo supporters. Such a deserving group and I really hope they manage to get across the line at some point. Brought so much excitement to the championship the last decade. For Keegan alone it would be great. A rolls Royce player.
