    Well deserved win for Corofin,they really should have won it in normal time.

    Their foot passing is top class,they are a quasi county team in terms of quality.

    All credit to the Mitchels,very resolute and dogged to the end.Today crystallised in my mind there are no new standout players coming through and the management were correct in culling some of these players from the county panel.Very fine club players but a step too far in terms of inter county football.

    Castlebar looked wrecked in extra-time. It was a fair result in the end.

    The nonsense with Mitchels having to climb over a gate to get to the pitch. No national anthem. PA system that you could hardly hear all reflects badly on Tuam as a venue. Fair result in the end

    From what I read on Hogan Stand.
    Just to clarify what happened, Both teams were told as usual with every team to conduct their warm ups behind the dressing rooms on the designated warm up area so as not to cut up the pitch doing drills, Corofin did so, Castlebar decided they wouldn't and went out on the pitch. The stewards had the gate locked and were trying to ask an official why they weren't using the warm up area but the Mayo lads didn't hang around and jumped the wall and warmed up out on the pitch. Corofin came out later and the gates were opened for them.

    It's not a suitable venue for the connacht final. The pitch was awful. It's basically has a stand resembling an old cowshed/barn.

    Do Ritchie and Alan Feeney play with Castlebar anymore? They had another lad Tom King? He played soccer with Galway Utd at one stage.

    Alan and Tom emigrated a few years back. Richie still plays junior I think but not sure

    From what I’ve read on Twitter this was the warm up area offered as an alternative to the pitch.

    There is also controversy about Corofin using an extra sub. Confusion about blood sub. Dont think Mitchel's will persue it though

    Alan Dillon has announced his retirement from IC this morning. A massive servant and a huge shame we couldn't get the to the promised land before he hung up the boots.

    Yes a wonderful servant of the green and red.

    Tis a great pity he never gained possession of a celtic cross.

    He'd a great game that day.

    U-21 championship is at semi final stage this weekend, westport v claremorris & belmullet v castlebar. Great to see belmullet with a strong underage, westport and claremorris could be serious contenders in senior championship in next few years.

    He was peripheral this year :confused:

    Are you getting confused with Andy Moran? Andy will go for years yet!

    It's a long time coming for Claremorris! Lack of a marquee player(s) is their downfall really. Shox is a class operator and can only do so much, but he's not even on the Mayo panel

    Looks like Fine Gael are still looking to the sporting arena in their quest to land a credible Castlebar based candidate after Andy Moran ruled himself out.

    Never knew Alan Dillon was from Ballyheane,proud Ballintubber man that he is!!Ditto his involvement in the party.Bit of competition for Lisa Chambers.

    I've good time for Dillion and what he done for Mayo but he doesn't have the popularity or profile for that gig. GAA voters will be wary too after Johno's political run.

    Yeah totally agree with your sentiments.Don't imagine he'd have the profile to secure the votes.

    He would need around 8,000 or so to beat chambers. Over 4,000 season ticket holders, say 3,000 regulars and a few transfers from Kenny and ring and he's in :D

    I'm trying to think of the last inter county footballer who made it as a TD: Barney Rock, John O'Leary and Greham Geraghty all died on their arse in elections
