The 2023 All Ireland Senior Football Championship (Sam Maguire Cup)

To be fair, they got a pretty handy draw in 2022. They faced Leitrim and Roscommon in Connacht, and Armagh and Derry in the All Ireland's, Derry who were a year behind where they are now and coming from League D3.

They beat what was in front of them, but maxed out in the final and still came up short. The questions were about could they improve on the squad depth, Nad it looks like they haven't really been able to do that. Comer looked to be moving OK today actually, but the support cast were way off what was required. The likes of Burke, Tierney, Cook, et al were rudderless and without Walsh shooting the lights out there was nothing. PJ has gotten an easy ride so far, will he fancy another year, a year when he has to answer real questions about his squad and make some really tough calls. Will Conroy fancy another year? Are they going to rely on the likes of Finnerty for another campaign? How does he use the talented McDaid, because it looks to me like he hasn't a clue what to do with him and he can't drip him ( a midfielder names at wing back and looked to be playing at wing forward, and didn't seem to know where he was or what role he was supposed to be playing.). They were rudderless today,aimless in possession and played Mayo's game.

Mayo need a good draw, they can't play Kerry I think? They need Armagh I think, I wouldn't fancy them against Derry if Derry show up, but maybe Dublin will get their juices going, one more time with feeling!

GAA really need to move out of Salthill, that is nowhere for a game BTW. Another game ruined by the wind tunnel, put houses in it or sell it to the IRFU for Connacht rugby, cause it's a nightmare between poor games and no parking and poor access around it. Move back to Tuam I say.

That ryan o Donoghue is a dirty wee fecker

At least TSG had the goulies to call up the nasty O Donoghue Stamp. Be interesting to see if anything comes of it....I'd say McStay will be having a sweat

Its not about their record. Its the two teams that were on the field today. Neither played well. Hence being referred to as poor.

Some score from Cillian O Connor, off his bad foot, away to local rivals , at a crucial stage in his first play back from a long term injury.In a game Mayo won by a single So glad The Sunday Game showed it ……:..

But sure it’s all in days work for a player like Cillian who has done it so consistently for so long. Doesn’t need highlighting. Long may he continue to just kick frees and easy scores

Not a great performance by Mayo today but as usual enough to beat Galway when it matters.

The Artane boys band hasn't been a worry for the Galway team in 25 years.

Much quieter on here tonight than expected after such a big shock ………

His problem has been he has been too consistent. For over a decade he has done it season after season. Leading his county to All Ireland finals where a miss is highlighted. He might have been more appreciated it if he just did it sporadically with the occasional Provincial title victory and not reaching All Ireland finals…….

Hilariously quiet from a few prolific big lads on here!

Firepower wasn't there for Galway this year.  Galway's scoring this year against div 1 opposition in league and championship coming into that game was 2-8,0-8,0-16,1-9,1-13,1-8,1-13,0-11,1-13,0-16, and 1-12 that's an average of 14 points per game.

Mayo scoring 1-10 enough to win which was one point less than they managed against Cork last week in a 3 point loss.

Sure Mayo were riddled with injures last year and Galway only beat them by a point.

As someone said earlier on the thread thems the breaks.

For those who thought the thread was bad last week with Mayo and Galway supporters having snipes against eachother it's only going to get worse with Mayo Vs Dublin
