Probably the demise of a great Mayo team, who will be remembered when many Sam Maguire winners have been forgotten. Unlucky to be in the same era as undoubtedly the greatest gaelic football team ever. But they had their chance, the goalkeeper debacle, and then Donal Vaughan's utterly foolish needless red card (from such a great player too)
Sam winners are never forgotten but when they are talking about losers this Mayo team will be no 1 loser, I think id rather be a forgotten winner.

It's a interesting one alright. I mean Cork for example won an AI title in 2010 but I have zero doubts that the Mayo side of the last few years will be remembered long after that Cork side.  But one has an AI title and the other doesn't.

Why would you want to be remembered as losers? Mayo fans should be hoping that everyone forgets about this team.

They won't be forgotten by neutrals and the reason is looking straight at you . Here you are a Dublin person , a county going for an historic five iar in two weeks time and you're passing comment about mayo .

We are everyone's obsession , it's incredible .box office , bigger than any winning team , why I don't have a clue
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

One of the best teams ever. Of course they'll be remembered, they went toe to toe with the best team ever to play the game and in any other era they'd have won multiple AI's

Debatable. They only had to beat Kerry and Donegal in 2012,2014 to win the All Ireland. If they had reached this years final would they have beaten Kerry? I doubt it.

They were to young in 2012 and Andy was injured! In 2014 they were stitched up!

And now too old and too many injuries? From OGs, sending offs, goalkeeping errors etc v Dublin the excuses are endless. The Dubs were desperate poor in the drawn 2016 All Ireland final scoring just 0-9. Mayo unable to take advantage as they themselves were in poor form and stumbled into that final.

I think in another time they would won 2 or 3 All-Irelands. Your judging them against a team beat only 2 in 9yrs and once was to them. And Donegal were nearly blew outta the water if Dublin had taken 2 easy goal chances. Dublin would beat any other team of any era in my opinion.

They still stumbled into finals! No excuses, we always lost to the better team except for 2014. If a team is better than you, a team is better than you! Them's the breaks!

We'll possibly see Armagh reach the top table in the coming years and we'll see how their fair against this new era of Financial Doping.

We could only really judge that if some of the other good teams from other eras had the fitness S&C and preparation that Dublin currently do.

I thought Dublin were beatable in the 2013,2016 and 2017 AI finals and Kerry had the beating of Dublin in the 2016 semi final also but let it slip through their fingers.

When you say beatable? What games stood out where Dublin looked weak or vulnerable?
