Mayo GAA Discussion

Delighted for Mayo- played them at their own game in extra time and they didn’t like it and lost the heads. Fantastic win- hope ye go in and win it now.

Delighted for that group of players. Well done.

I've had 4 pints in the last hour!

That's about Dublin pace

Jeepers. Heart is still racing. Will give more thoughts tomorrow, but all I'll say for now is that O'Hora put in one of the finest shifts I've seen from a Mayo player in Croke Park. And Conor Lane should never referee at this level ever again.

Great win for Mayo, Dublin not hungry for the 7th it seemed. Awful at times were Dublin and very lucky keeping some players on the pitch.

Struggling to process that tbh...at no time during the game did I envisage us winning.

I'll need to listen to every podcast possible this week to figure out what happened :-)

I'd say like everyone we we're hoping more than believing we could have another second half like the Galway game. And we did and then some. An unbelievable feeling. Roll on the final. HON Mayo.

That experience today was just insane. Greatest day in Croke Park without a doubt. Will need to watch it back as it was just a blur. The atmosphere was just insane, I know the voice will be gone until the end of next week but it's a small sacrifice.

These boys just never give up, they were dead and buried at HT. Padraig O'Hora put on a clinic today, he was bloody awesome. Touch tight all day bar once lapse early on. After all the stick Robbie has taken over the years you have to be delighted for him. What a kick!

Oh the Green and Red of Mayo!!!!

Well Done Mayo

Could Biden have lifted the curse 😉

Looking forward to Gift grub on Monday Morning….I am not Morgan Freeman…but I Love the GAA😊

The only thing you got right there was to congratulate Mayo on a great win. Not one of the Dublin medals is tainted. They are ordinary fellas who have given a huge amount to the game and their communities.

It was a pity how it ended for them. There was just nothing left in the tank. The tackles became lazy but not filthy. Pulling down a player is what any player would do. Small tackle was not a card but McCarthys was.

What a day to be in Croker!

Wonderful self belief by this band of brothers.

They don't grasp the concept of a defeatist attitude,written off by many including myself.

Let's bloody win the thing now!

Going to enjoy rebooting tonight post a draining day and watch it all back.

Firstly huge congrats to Mayo. A fully deserved win although it didnt look on at half time but I seem to remember a famous Mayo comeback from a few years ago and it crossed my mind today at half time.

As a Dublin follower Im disappointed at how it ended for us. The discipline went with their legs but I was delighted Tomas O'Se pointed out the fact Dublin stayed on the field and shook hands and hugged Mayo players. It was uncharacteristic of this group of players. No genuine Dublin fan or GAA fan will begrudge this Mayo squad.

I said it many times before if Mayo go and play their own game they can beat any team. Full of great talent and ability. I was delighted for Hennelley (altough not at the time he kicked that score). Took some balls for him to do that. Also James Horan who has rebuilt this squad. I wondered why he went back but he obviously knew the talent was there and he is getting the best out of them. Also Kevin McLoughlin, what a great score today. He is my favourite player outside Dublin.

I had tipped Mayo to beat Dublin today. There just seems to be a better balance to the team. In the absence of Cillian O'Connor and when taken off Aidan O'Se lads had to stand up and in fairness every player did. Maybe there is something in that as pressure is always on O'Se and C O'C to deliver big performances and when they dont it might have a negative impact on others. Today the Mayo lads played with flair and attacked which is their strength.The possession game has its place and Mayo used it to perfection in last few minutes and rightly so. They saw out the game perfectly and deserve great credit for that.

I wish all you Mayo people the best of luck in the final and hopefully the long wait will be over.

What a day. What a team. Couldn't be any prouder.

I did not see that coming.

I certainly did not see it coming at HT.

Mayo are box-office, pure and simple.

Really thought Dublin came out of the blocks with a point to prove, as in "we are not in decline"

And it looked like that, they did what Mayo usually do, hit hard, turn over ball and score from it

But what surprised me was they only had 35mins of that in them the rest was all Mayo.

I think this team are well up for taking on Kerry.

If Mayo can bring intensity and energy they will be able to run at Kerry and open up what is both a porous and untested defense.

No sign of a goal from either team all day, makes a change from last year's semi final.
