Replying To Lifford Gael:  "Dublin deserving victors. Didn't like their antics at the end - similar to Kerry in 2014 - but this Dublin team still won despite not playing to their full potential. Mayo bottled it at the end once again when Cillian O'Connor had the chance to win it. Well done Dublin. 3 in a row is a huge feat though will there be questions over this 3 in a row when we look back in future years in that 2 of those victories were over Mayo?"
Why would there be questions because two of the wins were over Mayo?

Replying To El_Torro:  "Best team won and again they weren't playing their best, Mayo only have themselves to blame, ref done his best and had a good game, think this is the end of the road for this Mayo team, just can't get over the line.
Well done Dublin, fantastic team, 3 in a row takes some doing."
Same was said last year, and after the Galway game, and all the way through the qualifiers. No need to worry about us in Mayo, we'll be fine.

Questions need to be asked about some other counties, as only Mayo have consistently put it up to Dublin in recent years.

Replying To preddan:  "Ye were a one hit wonder though"
What's that got to do with it? ( win over Dublin in '14 wasn't in AI winning year of '12)
One hit maybe but good enough to close the deal when the opportunity arose,
Mayo, Roscommon or Kildare would settle for that.

Rte debating about splitting dublin on the night of their 3 in a row victory.
Disgrace and a lack of respect for the dublin team tonight,

Replying To Ulsterman:  "Mayo denied a clear penalty with mins to go. Most undeserved All Ireland win in history."
I went to the game today and was hoping Mayo would finally do it, especially for the likes of Boyle, Keegan, Higgins etc... They are immense and you'd go to hell and back with those guys. Knowing you'd come back. The net difference is Dublins ability to get scores and whilst Mayo have improved up front this year (and it's a pity Loftus is not a year older as he's the real deal) it still was not enough against the best forward line I've seen play. Mayo cleaned Dublin out at midfield and their back six are the best in the game. But scores win games and Dublin can get them anyway and every way. Some people are saying that Dublin were not at their best. Utter nonsense, they won just about. I was amazed at the amount of holding and fouling of the ball that the Dublin full back line did and none of it got called in the first half. That to me was as much injustice as some of the other things mentioned here. John Small should have went before he did. I also believe that Jim Gavin needs to say to his squad next year that anyone who commits a certain type of contact will be dropped from the squad fully. O'Garas is the third example of it in the past couple of years. It's not acceptable at all. As someone said in an earlier post surely it's not warranted in such a successful team but it speaks volumes of the type of person he is. To Dublin the spoils again. I said in 2013 they'd win 5 of the next 10 All Ireland's and they're on the way to doing so. 3 in a row today is an absolutely amazing achievement.

I feel very sorry for Mayo but I do think they were architects of their own downfall to a large degree. Missed good chances when on top in the first half and what Vaughan was thinking of I'll never know. A scoreable free lost and the chance to have an extra man for the last half an hour lost through not having basic discipline. Add to that Clark kicking the last kick out over the line, from which Dublin were cute enough to never give them back the ball. I would dearly loved to see this Mayo team lift Sam but huge congratulations to Dublin. Grit, steel and knowing how to win are what makes them different to all the rest.

Replying To Gleebo:  "It should be noted that it's not Mayo posters complaining about the decisions.

Dublin won and good luck to them, it takes a special side to win three in a row. As for us, we go again next January."
Definitely not, Mayo fans are very gracious and wouldn't complain. There are others on here that will do that, unfortunately.

That's not why the free was given, watch it back again.

Good God, did you not see any off the bal antics from Mayo today? Any comment on the Vaughan incident, the object thrown at Dean Rock on his final free, the various pull downs on Dublin players? No? Show some balance bud.

Replying To doratheexplorer:  "If we won All Irelands would the circumstances round it bother you?"
Honestly, no it wouldn't bother me. But it has to be said that it's difficult to appreciate an otherwise excellent Dublin team given the favouritism shown to them time and time again.

Replying To dstuction:  "I disagree. The ref made mistakes for both sides. Dublin were the better team and they didn't even play to their potential.
The ref gave Mayo a free to win the game and they blew it. He also played 2 and half minutes extra seeing could mayo get the equaliser."
A gross insult to Mayo. How come that in three different finals Dublin only beat Mayo by a point and one of those games had to be replayed.. How is it that it is only again Mayo, that Dublin always fail 'to play to their potential'

The real question is why mayo have failed so often. RTE just listed the long line of defeats. At some stage Mayo should have won one of the 11 finals?
Last year mayo should have won. Changing the goalkeeper in the replay was the losing of it.
This year should have won again except donal Vaughan lost the head. O Connor missing a scorable free. Mayo lack something needed to win. You do get feed up losing and you just go out in such a mood of determination that you simply don't lose, you win. E.G. Tipp vs Kk in 2010, Galway this year. Tyrone in the 00's vs Kerry and Armagh likewise.

Apart from the missed penalty and the steps for the first dublin goal the referee did ok.

It was a penalty as it's clear that should a player be given an advantage which he was as he was allowed to go on and try a shot then any subsequent second foul should be given if it's deemed more advantageous. It's plain as day in the rules.

Little point in criticising the referee for off the ball stuff etc, because of its nature being off the ball he's obviously not going to catch everything and again with the O Gara incident the Mayo players made very little fuss about it and I personally didn't see it as an eye gouge.

However the penalty incident was one he had clear view off and got wrong and likewise 7 steps for the first dublin goal was another.

The free given to dublin which some thought dodgy at the end of the first half was also a free in my book.

Replying To endgame:  "Yes it was there for Mayo to win it and they failed to capitalise.Thought Dublin ordinary enough today and this great team has now won 4 of it's 5 All-Ireland's by a single point.I remember the great Kerry team demolishing Dublin in Finals in the late 1970s by 14 or 15 point.Mayo were marginally the better team today and this Mayo team won't keep getting chances."
Over the past few why is it that Dublin seem to be almost always made 'look ordinary against Mayo' while they beat everybody else, with the possible exception of Kerry by at least nine points. Is it that the Dubs are very good or that the vast majority of present county teams are dire?
