There are so many bitter and begrudging threads on here that as a culchie and Leinster man i want to wholeheartedly congratulate Dublin on a magnificent 3 in a row. The team's composure in the final stretch is something to behold. We all want to reach the bar you have set. Laois76 (Laois) - Posts: 1270 - 17/09/2017 20:48:37 2046984 Link 4 |
Yes, congratulations to Dublin. They have a truly great side who always find a way to win even in unpromising circumstances. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 17/09/2017 21:06:28 2047004 Link 1 |

Congrats to Dublin. They are an immense group of players and I'm proud that our team can and do compete with no matter who hard the defeat is to take. There is more to come from this Dublin squad they are a credit to their county. Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 18/09/2017 00:41:41 2047176 Link 0 |
A big congratulations to Dublin on a magnificent achievement of winning 3 in a row. Games often swing on the tiniest of margins & it was Dublin's composure in the last 10 minutes that got them over the line in what was an epic struggle.

What a team. I was heartbroken for Mayo but at the same time this Dublin side deserve a three-in-a-row and they deserve to be mentioned with the greatest sides of all time. They are fantastic. Congratulations to all involved JoeSoap (Donegal) - Posts: 1432 - 18/09/2017 09:31:57 2047248 Link 0 |
I've personally never seen a squad of footballers quite like what dublin have. It surpasses all teams of the past as far as I'm concerned. tearintom (Wexford) - Posts: 1304 - 18/09/2017 09:41:55 2047257 Link 1 |

Nice sentiments folks and fair play to all on here who don't go for the all too common option of looking to belittle or undermine what should be recognised as a remarkable achievement in GAA and one that has been hard earned by an incredibly dedicated and modest group of men who have sacrificed so much in order to be where the are now.

Great post. Congrats to Dublin on a remarkable achievement, they are such a great panel of players who probably feel they can add to what they have already achieved next year. I think Mayo will also have to go down in history as a great team. There is so little between the 2 teams and Mayo show everytime the play Dublin that if you can play with agression and without fear then you give yourself a great chance. If Donegal aren't at the business end in 2018 (Probably won't) then I really hope Mayo can finally get over the line. Andy Moran left the pitch on 62 minutes yesterday with Mayo leading by 2....I really felt for him at the final whistle along with several other Mayo legends. But you can't take away anything from Dublin - an incredible team!!

Fair play to the Dubs on a great achievement and one that secures their status in the game. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 18/09/2017 13:56:38 2047470 Link 0 |
There's a few rousing threads ongoing at the moment, but I thought I'd just come on this one for now. It's no consolation but I have to say well done to Mayo on a titanic effort,and it's really heartbreaking to see guys like Andy Moran and Donie Vaughan miss out again. seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 18/09/2017 22:19:24 2047775 Link 0 |
It's probably perceived that all the neutrals were shouting for mayo but that's not the case. I'm delighted this dublin team have won 3 in a row. From afar they look to be one of the most humble and downto earth lads to ever win anything. They're a credit to everyone they represent tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 18/09/2017 23:07:00 2047810 Link 4 |
The referee complaints are absolute bs and anti Dublin , posters who hate us only see it one way , everyone crying over one free at the end of the first half (which was a free) one bleeding free ffs, other than that the ref was solid. He gave us one score able free in the second half Mayo got 5 and all 5 were soft, but posters don't see that , even Mayo's first 5 points could of been disallowed but again anti Dub posters don't see that.

Congrats to Dublin on the 3 in a row, super achievement and it puts them right up there with the great teams. Credit to Mayo for putting it up to Dublin over the last few years and hopefully their day will come lillyboy (Kildare) - Posts: 429 - 19/09/2017 09:27:07 2047904 Link 0 |

There's always a bit of acrimony in the aftermath but some on here are taking it a bit too far. The Dubs did 3 in a row and 5 out of the last 7. That makes them the best ever and no amount of whinging can change that. So Dubs fans should just enjoy it now and forget about the nonsense from others on here.

Can anyone catch the mighty Duds was a question posed by a national paper this morning Hats off to the Dubs 3 in a row no mean achievement but look at margins of victory i their 5 All IrelandsI think there has not been more than Kick of a ball between them Mayomand Kerry in the 5 finals. YES referees decisions , human errors or on purpose, in last year's semifinal have helped enormously Dublin based and involved referee admitted to his error I am not expecting such magnanimity from Dublin Joe! I salut Dublin great footballers but their cynicism should be left to boxing ring hated what the did after winning point was kicked. Winter well speedy recovery to Jack Mc Caffery And all,the best to Tyrone Mayo and let's not forget Kerry where some serious talent is about to be unleashed all have zDublin in their sights for 2018 May the yicism on display in many games this year be consigned to the scapheap Our games were noted for sportsmanship 37sowhat (Sligo) - Posts: 752 - 20/09/2017 07:59:23 2048406 Link 0 |
