Again,if it was the other way round youd be the first on here picking holes. You were quick to call out kerry fans for booing Murphy. You didn't see quite so put out when the dubs booed Clifford in the semi strangely enough. In any event I was delighted to see Mayo win the title actually. Brilliant team and worthy champions.

This time last week I was heading out to the airport on a journey I'd taken 10 times before a journey that ended in sorrow but this year it was a journey of a lifetime. I wouldn't say I was confident but I was very optimistic that if we played the same way as we did against Louth in the second half that we were in with a chance. The first 15 minutes or so was like a lot of other years but there seemed to be a confidence in the fans that this was nothing to be too worried about about, we'd been through it before and thank God we got through it again. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 641 - 30/07/2026 22:03:01 2688233 Link 4 |

Reality hit yesterday seeing the Sam Maguire carried into the club ground. The scenes across South Mayo were very emotional yesterday. It's been the week of our lives and never to be forgotten. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 12240 - 01/08/2026 11:26:00 2688370 Link 4 |

Congrats to everyone in Mayo. I'm absolutely delighted to see it finally happen. The last few minutes were intense, I cannot begin to imagine what it was like for you guys. I'm really happy for the lads who soldiered so long and didn't get over the line. This changes the narrative about their efforts. Mayo won Sam and the success was built on their toil. The kept the flame alight until the time came. Enjoy the celebrations, it's richly deserved. Thankfully this will put an end to the derogatory memes. No more jokes or slagging. Mayo for Sam!!!

Hard enough to predict first rounds not knowing injuries and form, but adding in not knowing what kind of shape the county players are in makes it very tough. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 693 - 07/08/2026 14:50:34 2688984 Link 1 |

I think it's great we get to go to a few club games this weekend. My heads been in a spin since the all Ireland final (in a good way) and it's hard to think about anything else. What a two weeks it's been. Now back to club where it all begins. I'd encourage everyone to get to a game or two. I saw a good few supporters out at the Sam homecomings who I've never seen at a club game…remember there no county team with the clubs. Up Mayo! yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 12240 - 07/08/2026 18:39:34 2689010 Link 1 |

Sadly it's the same case in most counties, you'll get all the hangers on at county level when things are going good, yet they probably couldn't give you directions to their local club pitch. I've seen it up here often enough. Don't expect to see too many Mayo 'influencers' down at their locals clubs recording themselves the same way they were in Croke Park only two short weeks ago! peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1715 - 08/08/2026 14:23:56 2689080 Link 2 |

I'd have no problem with who turns up for homecoming which is a celebration of a counties success if you like the sport or not and a free event. The problem I'd have and it's the same with many counties. So called supporters at the All-Ireland final who are never seen at a club game.

Yea it's the same in every county. Now I know lots of Mayo people in the US and UK who fly home for finals and get tickets. I've no problem them getting tickets as when they lived here they were great club people and many are involved in clubs in the US and UK. The social media influencers (often young women) get on my nerves. Multiple insta posts and selfies. The All Ireland final is always the "to be seen at" junket of the year. I'd love to see some of them volunteer at their local clubs….you must be joking. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 12240 - 08/08/2026 16:42:19 2689098 Link 0 |
