That Mayo team were admired and respected; the only side that gave the Dubs any worthwhile challenge. They'll be remembered when many Sam Maguire winners are forgotten

True bout great team in magnificent battles with the Dubs... not so sure a Sam Maguire team will be forgotten tho. I certainly haven't forgotten any of them.. even great one-offs... Derry '93, Donegal '92, '12 Armagh '02  '24 Cork '10, Offaly '82... would love to see Mayo join that.

Kerry also gave them a challenge.  Was one score between them in that poor quality 2015 All Ireland final and the following year Dublin needed two added time points to get past Kerry in the All Ireland semi final.

So do you reckon, if that great Dublin team didn't exist, that Mayo would have won at least one all ireland?

History and results they had in them exact same years, would tell us that they still would have fell short.

Kerry drew with them in 2019 too.

Well drew against 14 men and were well beat in the replay. From what I remember of 2015 Dublin were in control the whole time.

Correct was arguably a bigger bottle job than any of Mayos

I think they'll be (probably unfairly)  remembered as 'nearly men'. 

Unfortunately, moments like  Heneally dropping that ball and  giving away a penalty, COC hitting the post , Vaughan silly red card,  COC tapping over instead of working a goal chance 2013 etc etc , will be what people remember, given they  didn't get over the  line.

They did give Dublin in particular some great, close games , but ultimately they didn't  win it.  People  scoffed at Armagh's "one in a row" and Derry the same. But at the end of the day , one in a row or not , they  each won an All Ireland, so  they'll  forever be remembered moreso  than  very good teams (like Mayo) who just  didn't get over the line.

Dublin hadn't been round, that Mayo team would won a few All-Irelands, what other team was gonna cone out of the woodwork that Dublin didn't already trounce.

Dublin weren't around in 2012 2014 and 2021 and what happened?

Tyrone came out of the woodwork; Kerry came out of the woodwork.

Donegal the only team out of those 3 years that were on a journey towards an All Ireland.

[Captain Obvious]

From 2015 to 2019 both Mayo and Kerry got Dublin on days they were beatable however didn't seal the deal as they found ways to lose instead.

Dublin werent around in 2012 cause we beat them in semi final , Kerry won in 2014 cause Cormac Reilly cheated , 2021 I still can't explain it .

And Mayo beat them 2 out of those 3 years.  They went through a phase of beating the all ireland champions several years in a row.

I think the point is I don't think it mattered who Mayo played in the finals they somehow found a way to lose as we seen in 2021.

So why would it have mattered if it was Kerry they played in 2016 final or Tyrone in 2017 final.

Can you explain why you were so cocky before the 2021 All Ireland final?

What would you like me to tell ya that mcshane off the bench is going to make the difference , that mattie Donnelly is unremarkable, that its too close to call,its 50/50. I dont believe any of the narrative spun about this been close , we are a far better outfit than Tyrone,  a possible hb line of oisin , paddy and eoghan if fit with Leroy pushing up from the last line as we get a foothold is unstoppable , nothing and I mean nothing is going to stop Mayo winning the all Ireland.  Who the fook are Tyrone anyway ,last time I seen them in a final they were attroslcious . Nobody mentioned Tyrone all year, now all of a sudden cause they got a sloppy victory over a disorganised disjointed poorly set up kerry they are world beaters . Mayo by 7-9 points easy

[Wildweasel74]

Only Mayo and Donegal had beat Dublin in that period, Kerry and Tyrone won all-Irelands cause Mayo knocked Dublin out, you should be thankful for them.
