Just speechless. So much right on the day but Dublin kept close. Then when it mattered Rock had the stones and nailed the free. Sick.

Donal Vaughan will be very disappointed. Referee had the second yellow for Small coming out of his pocket before Vaughan came in. Moment of madness which was very costly. Didn't see if it was a strike, but you can't give the referee the option. Gutted.

Complete stupidity. It wasn't a strike imo, looked like he went in with the shoulder. If Small wasn't getting the red, I think Vaughan gets away with yellow. But understandable from the ref... there looked like there was a little debate over it being red or yellow.

Cartman, Don't think of it as people sympathizing with you but that they are expressing their respect. Respect is by far more due to this Mayo team and their fans than sympathy.

Nail on head. Not the first final he's cocked up when its counted. In contrast to Rock who kicked two poor shots initially at the start of the game but nailed it when required. There are two types of goal kickers here and i'd be more confident when Rock is kicking when the chips are down.

All the lazy begrudgers have been silenced by AOS in the last few months so now the attention turns to Cillian O'Connor :rolleyes:

23pts in 3 all Irelands for the record and two of those were the ultimate clutch scores from play.

Yep...found that really tough going.

With about 6 mins to go we were briefly 2 points up and for the first time ever I actually thought we could do it....was on the verge of tears at that stage tbh...have never been that emotional watching a game before.

But no, it wasn't to be yet again. Dublin just had that extra 1% to get over the line. It was like they were running down the clock for the last five mins just waiting for the optimum time to go ahead and then pen us in with black cards and all that shyte.

Yeah man, I never cry - even at funerals but I could have cried at will there when we were leading towards the end. Had to force myself to keep it together. What would it mean to us?

Poor in the first half but I thought he was excellent in the second half, just couldn't get that free when he needed to not really a miss you could blame him for as it would have been a great score had he got it.

Had to stop the tears coming down my face when Keegan got the goal. Thought we were there. No tears at the end though, normal order was resumed. I'm awful proud of the team, man they're heroes to me and any Mayo supporter. There's no solace and sometimes there's no justice to be found. Well done to Dublin and the lads on here. Mayo, whatever happens I'll be there by your side all the way.

We're long passed taking solace in being heroic losers. We were good in lot of areas, very poor in some. Got a few key decisions against us but ultimately had the winning of the game in our own hands.

We blew it. We will be back though.

Someone remind me on the steps rule?
And what happens if a player punches another player on the face right in front of the ref????
Arm around the throat......
I could go on and on.........

Mayo were heroic today.

From a kerry person - Mayo, hold your heads up. There was absolutely nothing in it. Dublin were hailed as superstars, way beyond every other team but ye were right beside them so superstars also. Well done.

Mayo cost themselves and Dublin had too much composure when it mattered.

What Donal Vaughan did was unforgivable.

The ref was fairly alright and I desperately wanted Mayo to win.

What he did was stupid. And we'll forgive him that (in a few hours).

I wouldn't blame Vaughan. Small Joe probably wouldn't have sent off John Small anyway if Vaughan hadn't got involved.

Every year since 2013 I have thought that the Mayo team would fall off and not challenge the year after. I've been wrong every time. I hope I'm wrong again.

Challenging is no good to them at this stage. The need to go on and win an all ireland.

This team is good enough to do it if they iron out a few things but I don't know if they will be able to do that as they seem to make the same mistakes every year in the final.

Hard luck Mayo. Sport can be cruel. Each final since 2012 ye had a chance or winning but haven't taken it. Donal Vaughan cost you the game in a moment of madness. Not sure how many more times you can come back but outside of Cork I would love to see you getting that cup in the coming years.

martyos121

Ah I've really had enough of this, I'm sure the players will give it another good go next year but I can't lift my head up from this one.

Plenty went wrong from us of course, but when every single important decision is given against you, it really leaves a mountain that's too large to climb.

Best of luck to the Mayo ladies next week. Not sure myself if I can get too excited for it at this stage but I'd love to see forty thousand make the trip east again, they deserve it to be fair.

Not good enough yet again...possibly the worst Dublin performance in the last 8 years and still couldn't get over the line.

Dublin played well , there's been too much nonsense about how awful Dublin were as a way of getting at Mayo.

Donal Vaughan's moment of madness is what cost Mayo.

judeboy101

Mayo lost twice in this years championship, Dublin didn't lose any games. That's the simple story of both teams. But one team will be remembered and one team won't. That's the fickle nature of sport.

asteroids over berlin banned. Any trolling in this thread will be dealt with severely. Don't be a dick!

Hard luck Mayo fans. This team just constantly comes back and I wouldn't bet against them being back in 12 months.

Mayo - don't think you could have done any more today - outstanding effort - heartbreaking outcome... (a Rossie)....
