The GAA championship comes to a climax today in Croke Park at 17.00 when Dublin will be aiming for a 6 in row.

Can Mayo end 69 years of heartbreak?

Let's all sit back and hopefully enjoy a competitive contest in the year that was marked by Covid 19.

A massive thank you to the players not just today but throughout this long year for bringing us so much joy and entertainment.

Mayo v Dublin Venue: Croke Park @ 17.00

Oh to be stuck at the lights at Hanlons Corner with tickets in the phoca and looking forward to walking onto the Hill or the Hogan.

Fr Tod Umptious

Mayo probably bottle it again

Are you trolling now Fr.??

Pitch is looking pretty cut up today.

It is. But plenty good enough for a football game in December. Once the ball can hop I don’t think it will make a huge difference.
Hurling obviously today would be a different story with players trying to pick a ball off surface

Jaysus the GAAGO stream has some serious sound-boost

Hon Mayo


From a Limerick man.

Dublin haven’t had a game yet, how will new management fare if Mayo put it up to us. Mayo being such huge underdogs may level out their usual final nerves

sligeach

Better from Mayo.

Itssoeasy

At least Mayo have gotten it level but still time for Mayo to lose it. I know the gaa have said that the cups aren’t leaving the stadium but how could they not allow Mayo take home a trophy the have t won I’m nearly seventy years.

Why was the main thread locked ffs.

Dubs will win this by as many as they want.

French Toast

Early days but they seem up for it, in fairness.

13 seconds, what the hell were we doing. Worst possible start

lawred2

Some start to the match

I'd definitely do away with pawing the ball into the net from a handpass..

I love fisted goals from long kicks but pawing it in from a short handpass turns me cold.

Bleating Lamb

Where is Lee Keegan playing?

Good response by Mayo.

But it would be so typical for Dublin to win by 2-3 points and that early goal will be the hard luck story.

Gaa man from the cradle but couldn’t give a damn watching this charade

Dublin have absolutely crazy population advantages and disgusting “financial doping” on their side

Shame on the gaa HQ for allowing this - they have completely RUINED a once great sport

Lundstram

Coldrick handing Dublin soft frees. Shock horror.

It's brutal. Even if you could only strike with one hand. Palming it is effectively throwing it

Dublin look a little lazy minded for some reason

RMAOK

Lots of handling mistakes on both sides

tayto lover

Some very sloppy play from Mayo.

sligeach

Some dreadful passing by both teams.

Because there is a match thread for this one - I'll open it again afterwards

Sorry I was late, a clown in London had my attention for a while

Left corner back.

Is it Oisin Mullin who has his hair in a bun?

RMAOK

Bad wide from Kilkenny

no fear Mayo would just not concede a goal and go 3 points up... conceding a goal and then getting a couple points to erase it is peak Mayo

Yes

If Mayo are to keep in this game they’ll need at least 3 goals.

Bugler's moustache should be killed with fire and Dublin banned from championship for ten years because of it.

Mad_maxx

Mayo are doing ok but the Dublin bench is so strong , the men from the west would need to be six points up with ten minutes to go

Strumms

Fuçk sake ref and linesman there feet away watching a Dublin player having his shorts ripped off but no foul

Itssoeasy

Ah put it over the bar ffs.

Mad_maxx

there is one score left behind

lawred2

Great work by Diarmuid there

French Toast

Absolute beaut.

ShamoBuc

Level after 15

Cluedo Monopoly

I dont know what's happening but Dublin look lazy and sluggish in possession.
They don't seem switched on. Mayo should take advantage.

Worse than a slug balancing act...

Does his name rhym with Joris Bohnson?

sligeach

That free should have been moved up by the ref.

Drumpot

Refs letting Mayo players stretch the rules to win back possession.

Strumms

Dublin ball handling is poor, Fenton making it look like a bar of soap...twice

He was gesturing to move it up

RMAOK

Mayo will be happy enough so far

Water break 18 minutes played. Dublin 1-3 Mayo 0-6. As usual a competitive final between these two sides.
