Why would there be questions because two of the wins were over Mayo?

Good luck expecting a back track from a poster like that.

Same was said last year, and after the Galway game, and all the way through the qualifiers. No need to worry about us in Mayo, we'll be fine. Questions need to be asked about some other counties, as only Mayo have consistently put it up to Dublin in recent years. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 17/09/2017 22:55:45 2047083 Link 1 |
What's that got to do with it? ( win over Dublin in '14 wasn't in AI winning year of '12) One hit maybe but good enough to close the deal when the opportunity arose, Mayo, Roscommon or Kildare would settle for that. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 500 - 17/09/2017 23:10:58 2047092 Link 1 |
Rte debating about splitting dublin on the night of their 3 in a row victory. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 17/09/2017 23:16:58 2047098 Link 3 |
I went to the game today and was hoping Mayo would finally do it, especially for the likes of Boyle, Keegan, Higgins etc... They are immense and you'd go to hell and back with those guys. Knowing you'd come back. The net difference is Dublins ability to get scores and whilst Mayo have improved up front this year (and it's a pity Loftus is not a year older as he's the real deal) it still was not enough against the best forward line I've seen play. Mayo cleaned Dublin out at midfield and their back six are the best in the game. But scores win games and Dublin can get them anyway and every way. Some people are saying that Dublin were not at their best. Utter nonsense, they won just about. I was amazed at the amount of holding and fouling of the ball that the Dublin full back line did and none of it got called in the first half. That to me was as much injustice as some of the other things mentioned here. John Small should have went before he did. I also believe that Jim Gavin needs to say to his squad next year that anyone who commits a certain type of contact will be dropped from the squad fully. O'Garas is the third example of it in the past couple of years. It's not acceptable at all. As someone said in an earlier post surely it's not warranted in such a successful team but it speaks volumes of the type of person he is. To Dublin the spoils again. I said in 2013 they'd win 5 of the next 10 All Ireland's and they're on the way to doing so. 3 in a row today is an absolutely amazing achievement.

This poster 'Ulsterbaby' has serious problems. God help any people who have any contact with you in real life. You're really surpassing yourself tonight. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 17/09/2017 23:30:37 2047111 Link 13 |
Of course not, not me personally, love these kinda threads for the ott reactions I must say.

I feel very sorry for Mayo but I do think they were architects of their own downfall to a large degree. Missed good chances when on top in the first half and what Vaughan was thinking of I'll never know. A scoreable free lost and the chance to have an extra man for the last half an hour lost through not having basic discipline. Add to that Clark kicking the last kick out over the line, from which Dublin were cute enough to never give them back the ball. I would dearly loved to see this Mayo team lift Sam but huge congratulations to Dublin. Grit, steel and knowing how to win are what makes them different to all the rest. kildare73 (Kildare) - Posts: 854 - 17/09/2017 23:48:48 2047132 Link 0 |
Definitely not, Mayo fans are very gracious and wouldn't complain. There are others on here that will do that, unfortunately.

That's not why the free was given, watch it back again.

Good God, did you not see any off the bal antics from Mayo today? Any comment on the Vaughan incident, the object thrown at Dean Rock on his final free, the various pull downs on Dublin players? No? Show some balance bud.

Excellent post and summation Donegal Atlantic.

Honestly, no it wouldn't bother me. But it has to be said that it's difficult to appreciate an otherwise excellent Dublin team given the favouritism shown to them time and time again.

A gross insult to Mayo. How come that in three different finals Dublin only beat Mayo by a point and one of those games had to be replayed.. How is it that it is only again Mayo, that Dublin always fail 'to play to their potential'

The real question is why mayo have failed so often. RTE just listed the long line of defeats. At some stage Mayo should have won one of the 11 finals? Rohanhorsemaste (Tipperary) - Posts: 26 - 18/09/2017 09:12:30 2047233 Link 0 |
Apart from the missed penalty and the steps for the first dublin goal the referee did ok. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1304 - 18/09/2017 09:13:40 2047235 Link 0 |
Over the past few why is it that Dublin seem to be almost always made 'look ordinary against Mayo' while they beat everybody else, with the possible exception of Kerry by at least nine points. Is it that the Dubs are very good or that the vast majority of present county teams are dire?
