Mayo GAA Discussion

Complete non performance really....shocking amount of missed chances.

Hard to know if Tyrone even played well tbh but they did enough to win so fair play

Total disaster

DOC shuda taken the pen. Needed a cool experienced head not a young lad.

Alright feel free to say it a few dozen more times so...

i think a mayo lost the game- could have been closer at least at the end - by going into contact and holding onto the ball until there was three or more Tyrone players around the Mayo player. This was happening frequently throughout the match and mainly between the Mayo full and half forward line. The end result in most cases was the ball being held onto too long, the ball being turned over or the ball was thrown. This played right into Tyrone’s hands in that it could buy time to get its defense fully organized in case it is needed to defend further and take the wind out of the Mayo sails.

I’d say that Tyrone practiced the above to the n’th degree to make sure that it would have a high rate of success.

i cannot understand why Mayo ‘play around more’ with the ball, move faster towards the Tyrone goal and release the ball as soon as two ,max, tacklers are drawn. Mayo’s best chance for getting scores against a team like Tyrone with the way it’s defence was set up was to run quickly at its defence when they break out and not give time to Tyrone to get fully organized.

That was…. Well. Certainly not our finest day. Not a good day. Although both teams made mistakes Tyrone beat us pretty thoroughly in the end. And that’s despite giving us plenty of rope to haul ourselves back into the game. We just didn’t manage to do it

Commiserations guys...I never thought you'd lose it today. Your fans are fantastic and so disappointing that your players left you down again... hopefully you'll be back..

There will always be a few. Genuine fans and GAA people wont be gloating cos we all know how it feels to lose, either following our counties or from playing the game and losing club finals.

Very hard luck to Mayo. Nothing else to be said.

Too much sentimentality in Mayo. Rochford had his chance and wasnt able to do it either. Seems to be a backroom team of coaches and former players who know nothing but how to loose an All Ireland final.

Don't know at what point Mayo abandon the in house coaching set up and go for an outside perspective.

I keep starting to type something and then I just give up.. I'm since 1989 waiting for my mother to see a Mayo team win an all Ireland.. obviously she's waiting much longer but 89 is the first heartbreak I remember.

Disappointed for you all. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see a Mayo team lift Sam.

Ah.... Where to start....

No plan, no cohesion, a general lack of energy. Poor and late substitutions.

I don't want to take away from the dedication and commitment of anyone on that team, as that's never in question, but... that performance on the biggest of days is inexcusable.

Onwards. Mayo for Sam 2022. 😊 Feels a bit sad writing that tbh. 😭

Rochford made plenty of mistakes himself eg 2016 but was also unlucky. Don't think you can blame Horan too much for today. 4 of our starting forwards and our 2 midfielders didn't turn up.

while i know you are all gutted tonight think you can still get one as it looks open enough over the next year or two .The people who thought there was a bit of an over the top reaction to the semi win might have had a point you were still in the game late on but lacked the composure again with some poor shots taken in haste .

Didn't take the chances that would have given them the mental edge when it mattered. Instead each miss swung the game towards Tyrone.
