While the likes of meath kildare galway were despairing at kerry and Dublins supposed invincibility these are two counties who along with donegal never let their heads drop and kept plugging away.
Good luck to both of them.

Novel final pairing now, whoever wants it more on the day I suppose, who would have predicted this final 2 months ago?
Tyrone to nick it if they bring a performance to it like they did today.

The All-Ireland is coming back to Ulster. Tyrone doggedness and lack of pressure (beating Kerry is already bonus territory) will see them over the line.

Mayo already win their final a few weeks back and their mental weakness will show again.

Well, not many of us saw that coming. On now to the final. You would think Tyrone would be stronger BUT they may have shot their bolt. Mayo's experience should stand to them BUT the pressure of expectation shouldn't be underestimated. They also say finals are rarely all that great. In a year of surprises, let's hope for one more!

50/50 game. It will be fantastic. Can't wait.

Probably fancy Tyrone to be honest. The Covid outbreak in the squad has obviously helped - just imagine what they would have been like had they not be struck down by the virus

I think Mayo will win this quite easily , Mayo wont be worried by Tyrone after todays performance.

Mayo to win. That tyrone kerry match as a footballing game was horrible. May have been exciting but was poor. Mayo would eat either of those teams alive

Glad tyrone won and are moving in the right direction but it was a poor enough display.

Fascinating final. Tyrone will be buzzing after today and their big names are back firing. Mayo through likewise after beating Dublin. Mayo probably shade it through as they won't struggle defensively like kerry did today.

Mayo have great physicality that can match Tyrone and their S&C means they should match Tyrone's Covid enhanced physical fitness.

Should be a great game anyway!

Fitness of both teams is ridiculous. It's going to be a great final. Hoping for extra time too

No one would've called this at the start of the year. Its great to see

A hard one to read but I feel Mayo will banish the ghosts in the final. Saying that, Tyrone's improvement this season to what they produced today has been phenomenal. They now have the forwards to win Sam. Their defending today, turnovers and tactical shape was serious, would have taken a lot of time recently to perfect ..

Tyrone's name could be on this, huge risk of Mayo complacency now.

At least we have a 50 / 50 final at long last.

I just wonder will that game have taken a lot out of Tyrone?
It was one of the most intense and physical game ive seen
And the Extra time adding to the drama

Congratulations to both teams

Throughly deserved. Massive congratulations

Should be a good battle and once again this Covid time throws in another curve ball..

You'll have the conspiracy theory merchants out in force soon

The first ever meeting between Mayo & Tyrone in a Senior All Ireland Final.

A Great spectacle ahead.

Best of luck to both sets of players over the next couple of weeks

Who would Mayo have preferred, well deep down I believe they are relieved they are not playing Kerry. How many times down the years have they lost to them in finals. Tyrone will not fear the Mayos, and the Mayos will need their A game to win. That means imho playing Aidan O Shea.

Are you serious? Thought the savage intensity brought by Tyrone was phenomenal. They fought for every ball, and beat a very good Kerry team. The dynasty of Kerry that many were predicting is on hold!

Mayo will be massive favourites for this. Tyrone will have their backs to the wall, will be castigated by the Southern media and socdlked pundits. Mayo will also have the backing of everyone outside Ulster and Derry and Armagh will probably support Mayo too.

Mayo have similar level players to kerry but a far better manager, tyrone will have a better training camp for the final and that game will have been like 20 training sessions for them.
A cracker awaits.
