That was nearly as good as Tyrone winning it. Fair play to Mayo. Two Galbally involved. Paddy with Mayo and Sean on the sideline.

Congrats to Mayo. Enjoy the celebrations!

Like everyone else I was delighted for Mayo yesterday.
Can't help but think of Farrandeelin and how he would have loved this.
Actually just seen on facebook that today would have been his birthday, what a weekend that would have been for him.

Well done to Mayo, delighted for them, the most resilient people in Ireland. They just keep going & going, fair play to them. Just hope some of this good stuff, rubs off on us.

Main 2 ingredients there are fitness and hunger, then coaching, might be a few unfit teams die on that hill this club championship campaign

I heard Jarleth Burns say something similar in his speech.

I'm not sure it is a matter of begrudging or otherwise, but I think its easy for a neutral, or somebody with no skin in the game to take that view. I doubt too many Kerry men will be too effusive over it.

Fair enough, but on reflection I'm sure they will be comforted by the fact that w

Fair enough, but on reflection I'm sure they will be comforted by the fact that they have 39 or so All Ireland titles in the bag and they will be back.

Ah boys. Andy Moran saying he offered up a prayer to John O 'Mahoney and "he got us over the line" in 69th minute was pure class. Goosebumps.

And Ronan O Garas tribute to Aidy. Great to see

Never heard Andy Moran speak much before but really carries himself well. Spoke really well after the game and in the hotel last night.


Very unassuming and affable and doesn't seem to take things too seriously. I think people like that in a person. A good trait to have.


I remember an old coach said to me it's all about building relationships with players. Get to really know them. Their work or uni courses etc. Build on that knowledge and they'll go far for you. You could hear the players relate to this last night in terms of Moran and his management style.

What the Mayo captain was saying about how "everything is possible". This isn't true, that is just social media influencer nonsense.

Not every inter county player can win the Sam Maguire. A player has a senior career of about 15 years at most. So if you consider the amount of teams in the Sam Maguire competition you would need to have a different winner every year.
The reality is that the next 10 winners will be a mix of Kerry, Armagh, Tyrone, Galway, Donegal, Dublin and maybe Derry.

The tributes from other sports were class.
