Who would have thought 10 years ago that Tyrone would be the team of the past decade. Given our depth of talent and now a decent management setup it's not far fetched to think we will win 3 or 4 AIs over the next 7 or 8 years.
Two years ago Mayo had All Ireland winning manager and the panel they had then wasn't a lot different. Tyrone became good at senior level because they won many under aged All Ireland titles while Mayo won just one.

Kerry were average enough at U21 in the 90s

Now your trying to compare Mayo with Kerry? Kerry won four U21 titles in the 90s.

I fully expect mayo to win 4 or 5 all Irelands before 2020. They may even win a hurling all Ireland too.

Mick is too good to be true.
He has to be a Galway man.

There is a pattern to this.

Win FBD = World beaters
Win an NFL game = Solar System beaters
Lose an NFL game = Sack the manager we won't get past Leitrim
Win the NFL = take September and October off
Get relegated = Emigrate

Seen as we're stuck on 3 for the past 60+ years I'd gladly take 2 more this decade!

If Mayowestros can't be a great team it's hard to see Mayo (without Ballaghadereen) being team of the decade.

Indeed it will be very hard to see Mayo without Ballaghdereen, seeing as they don't play without them.

When GAA history of current decade is written yesterday's result will be seen as a major turning point. A changing of the guard in some ways.

If Cork turn you over in the League Final Mick, would that be seen in retrospect to have been the major turning of a major turning point?

Can't believe a stream so stupid as this has got to 3 pages! Please will the boys with white coats (not umpires) take Mayo Mick away.

They said Jesus was crazy too.

Mayo done well to beat Kerry yesterday, honestly , I would have been happy with a loss of a few points as long as mayo were competing for the whole game no matter what. Kerry will have forgotten it all by lunchtime today.

Am I the only on suspicious about Sheehans missed 45 any one who saw hin in tralee pointinf from 70 80 yards out would never believe he could miss such a Kick
could it be they didnt want to play mayo 3 weeks in a row?

The fear of facing the Thriller a third time must have got to him.
