Whats lazy about him, he told to stay close to nets at all times, only wish we had him.

Just home from the game. A privilege to be there, some atmosphere. Congratulations Mayo, enjoy the celebrations.

Congrats to Mayo, the Mayo posters here, and those we sadly lost like Lars and Farrandeelin. Mayo supporters always said they'd eventually win when it was least expected and so it came to be. They play a refreshing brand of football based on high press (way too risky for most conservative managers) and an abundance of pace and youthful energy. These lads are football immortals now like the men of 1950/51. May they enjoy a year on the beer. Hard luck to Kerry. Number 40 waits but no doubt will arrive soon enough.

Congratulations to all the Mayo posters in here.  Worthy winners today and played a great brand of open football, reflecting Andy Moran's outlook - Beirne and McDonald both said "we're just told to go out and enjoy ourselves".

Surprised Kerry didn't seem to learn more about Mayo from the Louth game.  From what I saw Kerry were gracious losers.

You haven't a notion to be fair

I've seen some shit talked on this board the past while but this could be the worst yet.

You talk so much shit it's hard to single out individual dreadful takes but "David Clifford is lazy" is a really special one.

Congrats Mayo! Saw some of the Mayo (maternal) side of my family today after game and they were all buzzing! I've had plenty of Mayo-inflicted sickeners in recent years as a Donegal man, but could take nothing but pleasure from the way they tore into Kerry and wrested that match from them after an iffy, familiar start.

Enjoy it lads! Thoroughly deserved!

Ok. Watch him not track back or press when he loses the ball. He's the best I've ever seen but look at the difference in workrate from forwards off the ball there today.

Hopefully certain elements among  the Mayos will have a bit more class than normal on their way through Co Roscommon tomorrow.

Absolutely delighted for the people of Mayo. Theyve had years of heartache and today makes it all worthwhile. Celebrate it well folks amd bask in the glory. There was no luck needed today. The best team won and Mayo are kings of Ireland.
Ive never seen such celebration in croke Park, everyone stayed to soak it in. Mayo for sam is a dream no more.

Very happy for David Brady [the hardest man in the Whest]

Absolutely delighted for Mayo, and the manner of the win makes it even more special. The pure raw emotion was a sight to behold at the end.

Could have won by more, but that doesn't matter.

Its one of the greatest underdog stories ive ever seen.

Congratulations and enjoy the celebrations

O'Donoghue was playing in the half forward line for the majority of the match. Tracking back and doing the dirty work is part of the gig when you play there. You're comparing apples and oranges.
