What an end to a great championship.

In recent years my gra for the GAA has waned even past my own county's struggles but yesterday when you witnessed the way the game was played, there's something about the way a team playes reflecting its identity and you see the emtion and what it means its brings it back home what this association is about or at least what it should be about.

Enjoy every minute of it.

Replying To SouthGalway:  "Hon Mayo!!! Couldn't be happier! Well done."
Delighted for all Mayo people.
Great to see a team play with confidence.
They didn't allow themselves to become prisoners of history.
There was no curse. They blew that one out of the water.
Best final and most exhilarating sine 1982.

Well done to Mayo yesterday. They were the much better team and have been a breath of fresh air in this years championship. I love Andy Moran, his interviews are top class, not the usual old guff from managers, always has something interesting to say.

Hopefully the style of football that Mayo play will become the norm, its just great to watch. This is a very young Mayo team so would expect them win more All -Irelands. Enjoy the celebrations.

We're in an era of "1 in a row" as a good few teams of similar standard around plus its hard to win an AI under the new systems.

OK, OK i do have one gripe!!

Admit it, how many times have you watched the last fisted point from Tommy Conroy I think it was and imagined the alternative where he hand passes it across to Kobe who basically has an open goal and you imagine the scenes when he blasts it to the net??

Every time I see it im just still shouting to play him in, play him in!!

Now thats the ending (not that any single person in Mayo cares lol) but thats the Hollywood ending right there.
