Some craic in the London final. 10 men v 12 men. Looks like the ref has lost the plot.

Hearing that it was the worst refereeing display since Limerick '14

Mighty entertainment for a Sunday afternoon-and no small amount of skill on show from both sides.
Kudos to TG4.

RIP Paddy P-one of lifes finest gentlemen🙏

Dodgy refereeing aside, I didn't think Galway deserved it. Disappointing display and Mayo had greater impetus in extra time. Mayo can be very happy with their return around the middle. Probably fair for Mayo to win this penalty shootout after Galway winning last years

Would sicken your hole that the scumbags jeering and booing teenage free takers are going home happy, but it is what it is.

you have very selective hearing if you think it all came from the Mayo crowd.A bunch of gurriers in the top right corner whistled and booedevery free that young Dempsey took.It's a vile act to treat young lads like what we heard from elements in both camps.

Grand pal, you're the only person in the entirety of online forums and social media that thought both sets were at it. Convenient. Dempsey took plenty of frees and nobody yet anywhere has suggested or heard booing, in comparison to Culhane who went from not only having misses ironically jeered in H1, to outright booing while taking a free in H2.

There barely sounded like there was a Galway fan at the game tbh, which is a problem of itself

So you think I'm making it up?-I was in the sparse side of the stand,and a bunch of yobs booef and whistled Dempsey's every attempt.I agree that Tomo was booed and jeered,and as I've said it has no place in sport.Also please less of the condescending 'pal'.I'm not in this for a row-just sayin'what I heard.

I think Aidan O'Shea has laid down a player of the year marker. Will between himself and David Clifford.

I have a dog that sniffs and pisses on everything he sees-reminds me of this poster with every thread.

So Cooper FINALLY gets his just reward

Ignore him. I've done it.

+1

+2

Hopefully ros will shrink the rhubarbs diaspora tomorrow evening.

the same owl tune again and again-change the record,good lad.

hope he has deep pockets

Mayo captain DOC out of New York clash due to injury.

Was pity referee  ignored Lee Keegan off the ball antics on Sean Shea. If Peter Crowley done that to Aidan O'Shea wouldn't hear of that for the year.

Are you expecting Galway to reach the All Ireland final then Maroon Manc?

Not at all. I wouldn't be as negative on the team as many Galway supporters appear to be but since Kevin Walsh there has been slight improvements every year come the championship. Given Silke & McDaid are back and that Cooke looks to have improved too its not unreasonable to expect an improvement on last year and that doesn't necessarily mean getting to a final.

Yes McDaid and Silke are big additions but I'm not sure what can be described as improved season on last year? Another AI semi final would show consistency. Mayo in 2011 after shipping a heavy AI semi defeat went on to reach the AI final the following year. I'm intrigued to see how Galway perform this summer some Galway supporters reckon they won't improve further and become AI contenders once again until a new manager is brought in which I think is a bit harsh considering how far Galway have come in the last 5 years.

Wouldn't be as harsh on Kevin Walsh as some others, will reserve judgment until the championship but can see why others are getting a bit frustrated. I think Galway have the players to play in a more attacking way once everyone is fit although if Galway had opened up against them on Saturday the scoreline would have been a lot more embarrassing then it was given the players available.

I'd like to see Kevin Walsh be a little less pragmatic in his approach, only time will whether he can be.

Kevin is an accountant so it's no wonder he's so fond of mentioning the bloody end of year accounts so often. Most accountants I know would be fairly risk averse so I wouldn't expect him to change. He replaced Tally with Kevin Stritch who is probably best known for his work with Castleknock in Dublin and they were a very defensive outfit. I think Walsh is who he is at this point. A conservative coach.

That said due to circumstances it's probably unfair to judge him on the league this year. He's pretty much come out and said they are well behind last year's work and are only looking to stay up by any means necessary. Still if they go down there will be serious pressure on them to perform in the Summer. You have John Divilly up at UCD and PJ with the U-20's so there are some of his former teammates knocking around that might become more attractive propositions if he has a bad year.

I thought he is an ex-Garda that sells insurance?
