Replying To royaldunne: "Throws into question the theory that ulster is the best province, mayo this year would be ranked 3rd in Connaught (ok probably cant count rossies) but certainly Galway, and they beat (even though tried their best to throw it away, have they learned nothing from last year?) the ulster winners, they also went through the back door so less games cat be counted, over to you Donegal, lets see something special." Mayo are the best team in Connacht, they've lost 1 match in 6 years. If they were to play Galway in 2 weeks time they'd be big favourites with the bookies.

Replying To Whammo86: "Don't agree. Tyrone are better than Tipp. I don't see you having too many problems." He's being ironic. In other words, speaking like a cute Kerryman. PoolSturgeon (Galway) - Posts: 1904 - 06/08/2016 19:44:16 1896803 Link
Replying To SaffronDon: "Tyrone were at their worst today and still were only a kick away from getting something from the game. This Mayo team haven't impressed me and got away with one today. I'm sure Tipp will be much happier having to play Mayo than Tyrone. i cant see the AI final being one worth tuning in for again unfortunately." Mayo/Tyrone ? It don't make a whit of difference. Both would whip Tipperary. But you're right. Its Dublin's All Ireland. And have no idea what Michael Cusack was doing when he invented this game in his head out of nothing. Pure farce.

Replying To IrishGael3: "So sitting on your rear end watching TV you can lip read Tyrone players and not Mayo players? It quite obvious both were at it - so wise up. Or maybe Mayo players didn't say anything bar the Hail Mary the Angels you obviously think they are. Pure ignorant stuff so say the least." The pain of defeat will ease in a few days. I know. I've had plenty of experience. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 06/08/2016 19:51:42 1896816 Link
Replying To royaldunne: "Hey dont get me wrong, id truly love to see Tipp get to final, and they have a chance as they play attacking football, which should rattle mayo, no disrespect to mayo but who wouldn't love to see Tipp winning, ?

If we play like we did today and Tipperary play like they can they'll beat us. Guaranteed. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 7363 - 06/08/2016 20:05:01 1896829 Link

Funny post - I fear that again Mayo will be embarrassed again in another final - I hope it's not the case as I like a lot of their footballers but Dublin way too good.

A great game of football. Thoroughly enjoyable throughout and some fantastic scores taken by both sides. I really do believe the standard of football is in a good place at present. I think Mayo deserved the win, but just about. Hard luck to Tyrone, they gave it their all but just fell short. I feel Tyrone are lacking a free-taker and a marquee forward along the lines of a McBrearty or a McManus. This will cost them at the business end of the championship, as it did today. Well done Mayo. Massive credit to a side who consistently perform at the business end of the championship, year in year out. Tyrone will learn a lot from today, and this season. They will be back again next season.

Replying To royaldunne: "Would have been the same if Tyrone had won," Quite sad to see a poster from a county are in a shambles trying to dig at Tyrone . Keep it up if it keeps you happy !! Awe bless ta32 (Tyrone) - Posts: 4907 - 06/08/2016 20:14:34 1896857 Link
This result genuinely doesn't surprise me, I felt Tyrone were being blown up way beyond their capacity by the media. They won what I thought was a poor quality Ulster championship yet struggled badly at times against Cavan in the drawn game and Donegal done them a huge favour with their second half gameplan in the Ulster Final, I just didn't feel Tyrone were genuine contenders this year but that's not to say they won't be next year. Mayo have a real chance of winning that elusive All Ireland, they still haven't played anywhere near their best yet they are in the last 4, hope springs eternal for Mayo supporters once again Richieq (Meath) - Posts: 3734 - 06/08/2016 20:18:43 1896861 Link
Replying To SaffronDon: "they'll have my backing. less chance of ruining another AI specticle" Apart from the two one sided finals against Kerry, Mayo have lost by three points, one point, three points, four points and one point in the other five finals. All of those games were in the balance until the end. So why would another Mayo final not be a spectacle. To suggest Mayo are incapable of putting in a performance in a final is nonsense. They have a twenty percent chance of beating Dublin same as anyone else. Now just congratulate Mayo on their gritty performance today and move on. If the Tyrone lads can do it why can't you?

Replying To Whammo86: "I'm not sure the manager was to blame there. The team had their chances. Didn't take them. It's been a problem for them all year. I'm not sure what a manager can do about that." Looking at the sky footage, the Tyrone manager seen to be very panicy towards the last 10 mins of normal play and he made very random changes with the introduction of little known and inexperienced younger players who were not just up to dealing with the might of the experienced Mayo men. Therefore, to me Mickey Harte's game plan fell apart. He didn't have an answer for the number of wides which might have saved his him and his team from humiliation at the hands of Mayo who were consider by the media as somewhat of underdogs going into today's quarter final. Many sports journalist and broadcasters had written Mayo off but now they look set for the final bar a major upset in the semi final with Tipp. So Whammie I wouldn't putting the blame entirely on the players as they are only as good as their manage is and in there I feel is the problem. A new manager with a fresh approach is the best way forward. WestRules (Galway) - Posts: 269 - 06/08/2016 20:39:44 1896877 Link

Yet another meath poster . I would worry seriously the setup of meath GAA and stop having your county mens obsession on Tyrone .

Mayo were marginally the better team and I hope they win the All Ireland as I think they were hard done by 3 times since 96 Could not understand why Cavanagh got his first yellow card, but deserved the second one and you could see he knew it the minute he did it, old habits die hard and it cost him and his team Tyrone have a marquee forward but he only played about 5 minutes in the entire championship A O Shea was class today, met fire with fire (where was that man all his life as the saying goes) as did Keegan Ulster are the best Province currently standard wise, as they have 4 teams in the top ten (Fermanagh could easily have beaten the same Mayo team some are calling the 3rd best in Connaught) mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 06/08/2016 21:00:31 1896898 Link
Replying To GreenandRed: "Have you seen Tipperary this championship? A great footballing side. If we play like we did today and Tipperary play like they can they'll beat us. Guaranteed." I don't see how you played badly today. It was a close game all day but you worked your openings really well. Shot from mainly good positions. Didn't concede many easy chances. What did you expect from the game? To blow Tyrone away. That wasn't likely to happen. To try to do that would've played right into the hands of Tyrone's counter attacking game plan. I thought it was a very controlled performance. Some good individual displays Cillian O'Connor, Aidan O'Shea, Lee Keegan. Moran wasn't as good as last week, Diarmuid O'Connor was maybe a little hampered. McLoughlin had a solid game. The one worrying moment was how easy Tyrone got that goal chance at the start of second half. Too much has been made of this Mayo teams league campaign and then their loss to Galway. A bad day can happen anyone. Last 4 years they could barely have gone closer without winning it. Whammo86 (Antrim) - Posts: 4241 - 06/08/2016 21:22:42 1896916 Link

At the moment the standard in Ulster is poor with no team in the last 4 and no team that are realistic AI contenders. how you can claim it's the strongest province is beyond me centerfield (Mayo) - Posts: 360 - 06/08/2016 21:34:10 1896928 Link
Well done Mayo, recovering the honour of Connacht football as they have done manfully for 6 years now. Serious courage shown today. The possibilities open up again. facethepuckout (Roscommon) - Posts: 214 - 06/08/2016 21:46:07 1896947 Link

Congratulations to Mayo- go on and win the bloody thing now. I wish to god we had a Lee Keegan on our team. I think Mickey sometimes should hold his breath and count to ten. tireoghainabu (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 06/08/2016 23:18:52 1897020 Link
