Dublin's ruthlessness, Mayo's lack of thereof, Diarmuid Connolly's standing ovation and the impact of the Dublin bench were some of the talking points after this evening's absorbing All-Ireland SFC semi-final replay.

Ya just don't give the dubs chances and get away with it, Mayo 4 points up and pushing at 43 mins, level at 56 mins, end up losing by 7 #gaa

Dublin vs Mayo was a great game of football. Best team won but very tight game. #GAA #DUBvMAY

At least we'll be spared another rendition of "to win just once" on up for the match in 2 weeks. #GAA

Taking Connelly off with 2 mins left was a bit of a dick move. Got him an ovation he didn't deserve and just rubbed salt into the wound #GAA

Same Auld Mayo #SAM & that's the closest they'll ever get to Sam. #GAA

Maybe if Mayo appeal the result three times they'll get another replay out of it... #gaa

Really enjoyed that. 1st half was quality but when stakes were raised Dublin were the ones who made things happen, huge mental strength #GAA
