McGeeney I think is the oldest at 31 so yeah he'd be making a bit of history if he pulled it off. Still at least one massive game to go though, can't get ahead of ourselves as much as I'd like to!

A good attitude to adopt.
It hasn`t been as much in evidence in recent years, but I know from some of the Mayo players I knocked around with in the past that some of the exuberance from fans could be a bit distracting for the players coming up to a final.
Let the fan enjoy this by all means, they fully deserve too from the great support they have given this particular team, but hopefully they will be reticent that the panels total focus has to be now on the final and nothing else.
Ye will have all winter to wreck their heads when the job is done

Mayo lucky to scrape through, in another day Kerry would have won.

Jason Doherty was great . He stood up and took the frees .

He may be even a good option for the longer ones as Cillian has to really push the boat out for the long ones .

He slotted that 45 over with ease.

So impressed with Jason today, and all year. He's been immense and had another manly performance today. Stepped up when needed.

Well done lads. Hope ye finish the job now.

It's tough to keep a lid on it, I wasn't expecting much going into the final last year but I have a serious amount of optimism since before the FBD league even got underway that I can't really explain, just had the feeling all year we'd be back this September for another bite and looks what's after happening. Rochford is tactically miles ahead of any manager we've had in my relatively short lifetime, he's not afraid to make big calls and even though he got one badly wrong last year, he hasn't lost that courage. I feel that we're going to head into the final as prepared as we possibly could be for whoever we come up against.

Whatever happens, I'm just delighted with the state of the county team at the moment and I'll enjoy it as long as it lasts, whether we win the holy grail or not.

Why did O'Sullivan get sent off

Now that was just beautiful

Seamus O Shea deserves an honourable mention as well.

Shipped a bit of criticism for last day, but really stood up well today.

We need to organize some kind of a mayo game before the final final for Seamie to get the bad game out of the way

I'm worried about Donie
He was a massive Massive loss when he went off just like in replay last year
I fear it's concussion again which won't be good

Does anyone know if the match will be repeated anywhere on TV? Or if there is any recap anywhere on TV? (I know where to get it online but am looking for it on TV for my grandparents to watch or record)

Thanks

How do people feel the ref fared out? A lot of stoppages i thought. Seemed hard on both sides. And a yellow for everyone in the audience. Lol
