All Ireland Football Final 2020 - Dublin V Mayo

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Congrats Dublin!

Decent first half, Mayo at arms length throughout the second half to be honest, and I think Dublin could have won by more if they had turned the screw. Good effort by Mayo you cannot fault them whatsoever, they just came up against a better team.

No goals conceded by Dublin in the championship, wow, didn't realise that until it was mentioned in the commentary.

To all the Dubs on here enjoy the celebrations and we'll see ye in 2021 all going well

Happy Christmas to all HoganStand users

First, hard luck Mayo any other era you would be a legendary team, but you dont need platitudes and patronising. Secondlt well done Dublin roll on the magnificent 7+. After that no one else matters.

Congrats Dublin and Mayo can be proud of a solid performance.
Mayo are a fouling machine but the Dubs could handle it.

I can't really decide between Con and Fenton for man of the match. Aidan O'Shea is Mayo's full forward and he has never scored against Dublin in all the finals he has played? and they wonder why Mayo haven't one an All Ireland.

Hard luck to our neighbours Mayo in yet another AI final. More than held their own for a lot of that game just didn't have impact off the bench like Dublin

Replying To kevin03:  "Seriously. Jesus the clip is clear as day. The mouth that is McMahon clearly says something to the mayo player to start the whole row."
You cant grab someone by the throat no matter what verbal are dished. Also. God bless your eye sight.

I've heard more meaningful speeches on the Tesco intercom. Thanks to our sponsors and partners. Stay safe. Mayo are getting worse Dublin are the same.

The game blows the myth that Dublin play great football, it's pedestrian hand passing heavy and then back passing until tackled. It's pure negativity. And of course you won't hear that said on rte.

I'm delighted they won in a way and I hope they win the next three or four because nothing will change otherwise. Hopefully once crowds can go back to games other Leinster teams fans boycott the games. Hit the association where it hurts.

Mayo are the second best team in country, of that there is no doubt. After them is Kerry and Donegal, and further away is the rest, on their day the rest can beat one of Kerry and Donegal (happened this year ) one of Kerry or Donegal can beat mayo. But NO ONE can beat Dublin. I'm not trying to be controversial here. But something needs to be done. Congratulations to Dublin, you truly are the greatest I have ever seen.

Mayo were sucker punched by the two goals. They lost by 5 points. Conceding a goal after 13 seconds set the tone.
Some heart for football in the fact that Galway u20's beat the Dubs by a point today.

Replying To sam1884:  "Firstly congratulations to Dublin; they were cute and knew how to win the game.

As expected it wasn't going to a one sided final; Mayo were well in it but sadly for them didn't have the depth to get over the line. We seen a new part of Dublin today which I didn't like; on at least two occasions in the second half (won't name players) they dropped to the floor; got a free in and you can actually see one of players laughing - they very much conned the ref.

There was also an assault at a time Mayo were on top; in the end I thought the ref was very lenient and leant more towards Dublin with his decisions; some of his decisions were baffling to say the least.

Mayo will be disappointed but they left everything on the field and blooded a lot of new players who'll benefit from the experience.

As for Dublin; I can see some cracks developing, this year was about transition but will as many players stay on. What is clear after today is to beat them you need as many good players on the bench than starting which isn't an easy task.

In the end though 6 in a row is some achievement."
Well said, no one yes not even Dubs would like players as brilliant as O'Shea or O'Connor retire with no AI winners medal.

Dublin winning yet again is taking the fun out of the All-Ireland.
Nothing to do with a good team, Mayo train just as hard as Dublin and I'm sure they have the same nutrition advice.
I believe Dublin getting something extra behind the scenes.
The referee was a disgrace too. A shoulder to the chest right in front of him and nothing done about it?! Perhaps he is getting paid to let Dublin win
All Ireland day has lost its excitement
