Which we won't, cos we should.Originally Posted by Real ale Madrid
Listening to Ray Cosgrove talk about 2006 saying it was the low-point of his career... he then said "including 2002". Says something really.
The deflation in 2002 was like nothing I'd ever experienced. Well, 2010 v Cork was 100,000 times worse but excluding that.
I actually in a mad way didn't really mind the defeat v Mayo simply because I thought they would go on and do the business against Kerry. Boy was I wrong.

Respect .... ye haven't a player that would lace his boots!
Now now. That was said in love for the man. A god of the game. Great interview too.
He's up there with Stevie O'Neill, wee Peter, Charlie Redmond, Ja Fallon and Jason Sherlock in my pantheon.
You should know that my ire is always reserved for Donaghy and Cooper. I could lace them easily.

Er, no guarantee the Dubs will beat Mayo, though I do hope they do...
Fair enough .... That forward line of Mayo wont start on Sunday
I know. Thankfully.
I still think you have it over us.
Either way... It will be epic.
Cusack 305 boom.

No Michael Donnellan? Or is he above all those
Congratulations, Mayo. Thoroughly deserved. Played by far the best football for the first 50 minutes until they went haywire. Some terrific points taken. It's a very unusual pairing in the final. I'd love if they went on to win it now.
The time wasting today was horrific. McQuillan was afraid to let a football match break out. The best team won. But they have their work cut out in the final.

I thought Dublin were pretty disgraceful when they went 10 points down - how they finished the game with 15 men I'll never know.
Mayo was dead right to slow the game down when they had too.... All the majors team do it nowaday. Mayo play for only 55 mins and nearly got caught out, they have to do it for 70mins the next day. Dublin should have started with O'Gara and McManamon. They did damage in fairest - i cant under stand how Alan Brogan got through a test on that groin! - as soon as he kick the ball, he was gone.
What i hated the most today (it was the only thing) was that arse Brolly - who does he think he is! i met the C*** once and i swear if i ever see him again - i decked him. He talks rubbish and only ever won 1 all ireland medal and he thinks he can talk all his crap!
Yep Brolly is a ****. The RTE panel are going on about Donegal as if they are going for 5 in a row. A few weeks ago they thought they were useless. Delighted Mayo will be be big underdogs. Horan has done a fantastic job, his team are no longer innocent and soft.
I also don't think Mayo choked when they went 10 points up. They put an almight shift in and a number of key players went off injured. Dublin were bound to react but Mayo weathered the storm.

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
The complements and praise afforded to Donegal by Spillane and O'Rourke have surprised me in light of the negative opinions they held last year (and earlier in this year's championship, according to shakermaker).
I feared Mayo were going to bottle it yesterday. The game could so very easily have gone Dublin's way had they put away that glorious one-on-one goal chance at the end.
They normally save that for the Final
96 was the year they should have won Sam. That Meath game still sickens my old man. Dodgy ref didn't help. 2004 and 2006 they just came up against a fine attacking Kerry team and couldn't live with em. Naive and paid with a hammering. I don't think they choked, they just came up against a superior team. Like Italy up against Spain in the Euro 2012 final.
1951 is a long wait. I think I'm gonna read the excellent House of Pain to get ready for the final.

O'Gara's been fecking gash this year. In the games I've seen.
Well done Maigh Eo. Due to the 'wait' factor, Good luck in the final.
