    Kerry deserved their win. Mayo were out of their depth and after the first ten minutes the game was basically won. Over the last twenty years, Mayo has the worst record in All Ireland finals: 5 finals-5 defeats. Yesterday's final had the biggest winning margin in 28 years. I'm not a GAA man as everyone is aware but it was poor form to see Mayo fans (like 2004) stomping out of Croke Park in the face of adversity.

    4 defeats in a decade, 3 of them to Kerry. Nallon was getting completely owned in the first 10 minutes, he was too small for his opposiing forward. Mayo stemmed the haemorrhage a little bit when Brady came on. The kicking from Mayo wasn't smart either. They must have lost the first 10 consecutive kick outs. It took the keeper far too long to decide to play it short. By the time those two major problems were realised it was already over. I didn't think it could get worse than 2004.

    Well done to the lads for a fine display, and hats off to Jack O'Connor for making the brave decision in bringing in Declan O'Sullivan. He got a lot of criticism for doing it but was proved right in the end. It was a great gesture to bring up Gooch with O'Sullivan to recieve Sam. Sort of symbolised unity in the camp which was reported to be lacking all year. I hope we can build on this success for next year and win back to back All-Irelands for the first time in 21 years. I hope the minors can make it a double next Saturday in Ennis. I feel Roscommon had their chance yesterday and I don't see Kerry missing out again. It's been a long time since our last minor success.

    disaster- all that way for a shambolic performance. Brady and O'Neil can hold their heads up but the rest..... after all the Mayo support as well. Turned up without tickets and still celebrated as we had won the bloody thing!!!

    Well done kerry!

    A complete performance on the day and full credit must go to Jack O Connor and his backroom staff. Completely outplayed Mayo on the day and all individual battles on the pitch were won by the Kerry players. It was definitely the hungriest Kerry team I have ever seen in an All-Ireland final and by beating Armagh on the way, it made the victory a whole lot sweeter.

    Mayo on the otherhand didn't turn up on the day and they must be sick to the teeth of Croker and green and gold jerseys for that matter! Mayo have played great football down through the years and had and still have fantastic players. I think the whole country hopes that their day isn't too far away!

    Well done to Roscommon on their win today. Wasn't at Cusack Park but by all accounts they finished very strongly and deserved their victory. We'll just have to wait another year yet again for that Minor title.
