In fairness to the Dubs all through their 9 all Irelands 2011 to 2023 they never lost a game, qualifier or otherwise and never went through the back door to win Sam

Replying To Saynothing:  "That's true but when Roscommon won the provincial championship they were licking their lips at the prospect of meeting Tyrone in the Hyde. How things change."
Utter nonsense.

So Louth beat the Dubs for the first time in the Championship in 53 years. Fair play to them. Well done Louth.

Scoring 1-24 would win a lot of games but conceding 4 goals is criminal.
Only 16,610 turned up in Croker this afternoon.
Same hardcore fans on the Hill around me today.
But for how many more years…
Parnell Park is defo calling the DCB at this stage…!

Dublin have back-to-back championship defeats for the first time. And imo any team who loses 2 games in the Championship should be eliminated automatically anyway.

This season has panned out as many of us feared unfortunately. Hopefully it is a quick learning curve for all the newbies. If not….. :o(

No way Dublin or any other team that has lost twice should still be there.

All that awaits is humiliation. That jersey deserves better.

Replying To brayballer:  "Bad loss today and the keeper experiment dud nt really work but cant blame him .He did well on kickouts mostly.Gannon and Murphy way off the pace but I suppose they needed leg time.We need a good draw next and our supporters to get behind us."

Mayo GAA Thread - 2 Like(s)
Hard to know what to make of that game. I think every team in the draw will like to draw Mayo.
I think there wasnt much difference in the second half today and the second half against Roscommon, without checking I think Mayo scored same amount in both second halves. Only difference was Monaghan not taking there chances today and Roscommon did.
So lethargic and no real plan in second half.
Full back line still very poor, defence overall is poor.

A lot of the people on here need to grow up - arguing like children. It's not even banter, just complete nonsense.

Replying To Tadhg2020:  "They either underperformed or were over hyped. There were a lot of very confident lads over on the Galway hurling thread. They clearly felt that they were a very good team. The wexford lads here seemed to be of a similar opinion on their thread. I dont know what the betting odds were but the media articles I read in the build up were tipping Galway too. Clare won 2 of their Munster round robin games by 1 point, another by 3 and were well beaten by Cork in their 4th. They reversed that in the semi final and won Munster on penalties. It definitely stood to them."
Would you rather that we said that they had us bet before throw-in then and that we should just forfeit to the great Munster Championship teams like how all Munster teams would like it.

Although it helps Donegal, the decision undermines one of Jim's greatest strengths: convincing his players that the world is against them when the evidence suggests otherwise.

Replying To yew_tree:  "Well done to Aidan O Se…100 games with Mayo. Really shows how low Irish society has sunk when you see the comments online about him. So called Gaels making fun and mocking his achievements. Most of these people I bet have never played the game and would t be able find the front gate to their local clubs."
Social media is toxic and is only going to get worse a lot of it driven by jealousy. Aidan O'Shea has been a great servant to Mayo football and has had a brilliant career, to hell with the begrudgers.

Replying To Scenicparish:  "The Galway are very worried about Jim...."
Any county with aspirations of winning Sam would have concerns about facing Jim. His record speaks for itself. Im merely pointing out that he's consistently used the "them against us" narrative as a motivational tool and with considerable success.

That said he's still 0 for 1 against Galway in Championship football ;-)

The point is Mayo were the better team when the hooter went on 70 minutes. It's not rocket science. Team in front is better.

Replying To iarmhiabu:  "Brandon Kelly was told by a former Westmeath manager that he was not good enough to be a Westmeath footballer, but then again the said Westmeath manager could not win a Championship game. Delighted for Brandon, he has been excellent."
I'd imagine that was d Dolan .
2 yrs in charge he wasn't at least in the squad.

Replying To Cumann1:  "You'll find Fitzgerald started at fullback ahead of Hernon in the Connacht final"
No, you'll actually find that Séan Kelly started at fullback though in that game, Hernon was on the bench, but Fitzgerald wasn't in the squad.

So as I said, Fitzgerald isn't part of the Galway squad and Hernon was the starting fullback in Galway's recent game and that's what matters when mentioning the Galway fullback position.

The 2x 2 pointers just before half time were a sickener. One needless free and then a shot on the hooter left it a bridge too far.

Replying To iarmhiabu:  "Home truths don't sit well, but it's time for the County Board to get the finger out and capitalise on this momentum, do you not agree? Mark McHugh's team is leading from the front. The County Board needs to show the same urgency. Time to get out of their way and start raising the funds necessary to prepare County teams to the very highest standard. We have the players to compete. At the moment, we can't afford to buy socks and shorts for the U15 development squad."
People overestimate the impact these runs have on support. It can drop as quick as it rises. Im delighted to see ye doing well but we made the same mistake in Galway back at the turn of the millenium when we were flying it. By 03/04 our support was back to pre glory day levels.
Behind the scenes volunteerism and hard work is always more important than a good championship run.
