Just popped in to wish Mayo the best of luck today. Long overdue a win so here's hoping that the monkey on the back will be well and truly zapped later this afternoon.

I think its fairly safe to say that everyone here in Donegal are fully behind Mayo today.

Think its also fairly safe to say that everyone else in Ireland is glad the Donegal players are not in Croke Park today :pac:

Isn't it time for some one to start some mad Rumour

Hoping for the best and if that rain is coming from the West can everyone there get out and send their best wishes with that rain .

Great courage and bravery from Mayo. Very impressive mental strength. Good luck next week! I honestly think ye will do it.

I'm devastated tbh. We should have beaten them. Dublin where awful and we had the beating of them. They shouldn't have been in match at all, if only for those two own goals. I'm upset.

God knows when the club championship will be played now!

RobbieRuns

Mayo people should be very proud of their team. Love the heart in that display. Lee Keegan..... What a fighter !

homewardbound11

Got to love that team . They are utterly unreal. They just don't give up .

Never give up and what a point from Cillian for the Equaliser .

The Quest goes on...................

I'm ****ed. Maigh Eo abu. Bloody love this team and county

Fantastic game today and as a "neutral" (I use that word very loosely) I have to say the real winner was football. Both teams deserve credit for their respective performances but the auld bit of bad luck haunted ye with those OG's. In saying that many other sides would have capitulated but fair dues to Mayo for taking the game to the Dubs and really should have win.

Just out of curiosity is that the first time Mayo have not lost a final since 51? If so then the omens are good

Nope, famously v Meath in 96 and a bit of argy-bargy.

Seriously!! Can you see Donegal's defence conceding two such crazy own goals. Dublin had of played like that against Donegal they would have lost badly.

Ye were very lucky not to lose in the end,only for Cillian O Connor, ye were gone! I'm from Kerry and we'd have been so thrilled to get a last minute equaliser in the semi.

So buck up,the whole country is behind ye, go out and finish the job the next day!

Exactly every county wants Mayo to win, hold yer heads high and go out in a fortnights time and hit Dublin hard and Mayo showed them way too much respect today. Ye have the footballers and the talent to do it, the only obstacle I see on the horizon is a certain Joe McQuillan or David Gough two pro Dublin referees working in the Capital both have which have shown clear bias in favour of Dublin before.

Yeah it was there for Mayo. Dublin were far too ponderous and poor . We nearly won it funny enough. Poxy game from a Dublin point of view.

lawred2

Was there for Mayo today. It's a cliché and all that but Mayo need to believe they can do it. Couple occasions it was there for then to push on today and they didn't.

Have to remember that Mayo are improving with each game.

I really hope they bring everything they can the next day.

Your one bitter kerryman mate,sure ya were spouting out of ya before in the SF


:rolleyes::rolleyes:Kerry are Kerry and rightfully the true Keepers of the flame and Dublin will always only be second best. We are Kerry with an untouchable legacy, we wait in the long grass and Sunday will be an ambush and I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about startled earwigs at the end of it. Let it be clear, Donegal were quite frankly useless and still should have beaten Dublin; the old ancient order will be restored Sunday evening. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Watch the tape and if knew anything about football you could see the sort of cheating that Dublin got away with and the referee David Gough couldn't have been more biased if he tried.

As I said your just a little bitter kerryman, this is what you said about Mayo not 3 weeks ago

If we could beat Dublin today then today will be the start of three to four in a row, as for Mayo, yerra well god help the poor auld craythurs

Good luck now, I remember you posting before the same crap when Kerry lose, A change of name doesn't change the change of attitude, tis a pity bye bye.

I was making a joke that didnt come across very well,meant no disrespect to any players.

However gets a bit tiring for people to assume that everyone in their county is against the Dublin senior GAA team

And, of course the reason the Donegal team wasnt in Croke park today was because Dublin already beat them

Wasn't a great game today by both sides if folk were honest.

Hope the best team on the day wins the reply

Jesus, Skywanderer is wanderng from thread to thread with the same ol guff, KERRY LOST get over it, it was not the referee that beat them either.

Thought the ref did Mayo no favours today, why did he give a free against O'Shea who was in for a goal? Connolly should have went for a blatant pull down.(edit and the MDMC Wrestle on O'Connor, close to a red card)
All in all a great game, had me out of my seat on a good few occasions, mainly cursing at Mayo turning over possession when the Dubs were there for the taking, Seamus O'Shea did it three times in a row :eek:

So much so for the unbeatable Dubs, who don't do panic, could have fooled me today.

Best of Luck to Mayo in the replay, I stll think you can do it.

P.S Where was the third O'Shea brother today, was he injured?

Didnt hear anything about him being injured - certainly togged on the sideline. Just the way the match panned out, they decided it didnt suit him I guess.

Emotionally exhausted but so proud of the team after conceding two very poor goals.A truly amazing never say die attitude,they just do not know when they're beaten.They could so easily have capitulated.I hope to God we can finish the job Saturday week.

:eek: It was a bag of shite for the most part, only memorable for the fact that it was so close. Two teams who didn't know how to win.

Not from Mayo but thought some of the Mayo big names didn't play particularly well to day? Seamus O Shea in particular gave away a few crucial balls and Aidan O Shea very poor kicking. Very surprised Moran wasn't introduced earlier.
Say what you will about Mayo but very few teams in an AI final would recover from 2 hammer blows of own goals as they did to day ( seriously almost gave away a third)
Mayo have every chance in the replay, Dublin a very good team going forward totally different though when a team goes at them
Ref should have given Aidan O Shea at least 2 storable frees to day gave most of the 50/50 decisions to Dublin in the first half but improved in the 2nd half.

TCDStudent1

Thought Jason Doherty was excellent today. Always took the right option when he had the ball.
