Up the Dubs. Greatest team ever. 3 in a row fantastic achievement. Mayo threw everything they had at them and they stood up to it. The 4 in a row is on now nobody to stop them. Mayo on the other hand are Chokers, Losers. Failed again on the biggest stage. It's a joke at this stage how they fail. They always have something the blame every time. The Refs, the Weather, The Curse. Bottom line their Leaders can't lead them over the line. I salute the Dubs. Great Team. Classless comments about mayo. Again they left everything out there. Probably the lack of depth killed them in the end. I thought they were very unfortunate.

Mcquillan got a few big calls wrong today but he at least he let the game flow and did not try to be another David gough and make himself the star of the show

What's to be made of a world where value systems can be whittled down to Winners v Losers? Dublin are a great panel, and their achievement today is phenomenal, but what's to be gained by having a pot shot at a group of players that played a critical role in such a brilliant spectacle? By the way, I for 1 have not heard anyone from their camp put forward the excuses outlined in the post.

Spare a thought for poor Sean cavanagh who was convinced that Dublin would just blow mayo away. He also felt mayos best chance was to go very defensive initially and just stay on Dublin coattails. Hopefully today was a dose of reality for Sean as to where Tyrone are really at.

Watching the game today it struck me that of all the finals Dublin have won under Jim Gavin they have played relatively poor in each of them but still won. Only saw the last 20 mins on tv and hear the rest on the radio. Sounded like an exiting but, poor quality match. I could be wrong. Overall has been a very poor championship. Kerry and Mayo in Game 1 and todays final were the only real contests at the business end of the Summer. All quarters apart from the 1st Mayo Ross game were poor.
Was it the wrong choice to take off Andy Moran?
Hats off to the Dubs. They get the job done. Saw some supporters cribbing on other sites about the Dubs tactics in the last few mins. You do what it takes to win. Mayo still had a chance to pull the game out of the fire but, Clarke took a desperate kickout. Vaughan incident too was brain dead.
Congrats to our Dublin posters on here as well.
PS. Fair play to cluxton. Lost 6/7 kick outs in 1st half but, was near inch perfect in the second half. A real leader and fulcrum of this team. He mighn't be 'mr personality' as some people on here give out but, that not his problem. We could badly do with someone of his ilk.

Good point re Moran. Thought he offered brilliant leadership.

None of the Mayo subs really improved things. Andy Moran, Jason Doherty, Seamus o Se went off.
All the dub subs did better.
The loss of Jack McCaffrey had a huge negative effect on dublin.

Can't imagine being of the Mayo family tonight after another final defeat. There's a bad taste regarding gouging, soft frees and uncalled frees. What can you do? They were great, gave it everything. Congrats Dublin, a win without clicking really. 2018 is there for ye too.

Quite apart from the fact that they got plenty of fairly soft frees themselves, the referee didn't come in and clothesline John Small nor miss the free near the end.
Also Andy Moran was bate by the time he came off.

Also Andy Moran was bate by the time he came off. He created 2 goal chances, 2 taken an 1 not. The referee got a big decision wrong giving a free instead of a penalty. Did it change the game. I don't know. Rock nailed his free. O'Connor missed his. That is the bottom line. I would have left Moran on. He provided fabulous leadership.

I thought the ref made a terrible/bottled it call in the first half regarding what Paul Mannion got yellow carded for. To me it was a foot trip and he should have got a black card. He had a major impact on the game there after.
Mayo can only blame themselves in the end. They yet again concede an early goal. Its only physically possible to push up on Cluxtons kick outs for so long (usually a half) and thats the time to make hay. They should have been a lot further ahead at half time, Dublin were all all over the place in the first half and Mayo left them off the hook big time with poor shooting and shot selection. Indiscipline cost them again.
The strength of dubs panel made the difference again. These guys are supposed to be one of the best teams of all time but they are just getting over the line against the other big guns (which is still a phenomenal achievement). Against the Mayos and Kerrys in recent years these teams have been ahead around the 65 minute in the majority of the games yet they end up losing. How do the Dubs keep turning it around? To me it goes back to their fitness levels and the quality of the panel as a whole. They do have that we will not be beaten attitude that great teams have as well.

Probably the lack of depth killed them in the end. I thought they were very unfortunate. Would have to wholeheartedly agree with this . Classless comments but it's not the first time from that particular poster. Have an ounce of good grace at least. Mayo were unfortunate. Personally I am heartbroken after today's defeat. My dad will be 81 in a few weeks, a proud Mayo man who, even at his age, has been to all bar one of Mayo's matches this year. I was gutted for him and the many other Mayo fans who show a loyalty to their team through thick and thin. He was devastated after today's game, but very proud of their performance. That game today could have gone either way, it's just a pity that it didn't go Mayo's today. Well done to Dublin, a phenomenal achievement in the modern game. They created their own history today and the future of football in the capital is very healthy. I think it was Kerrygold or maybe Mickmack that used to say, in the good times, that Kerry, if finding one or two nuggets every year, would be winning the all Ireland. Dublin have proved that in the past couple of years. A fine panel, a great modesty and hunger means that they got their just rewards today.

Just home from the game. Dublin Joe was the difference between the teams. Was talking to an ex Dublin player during half time and he admitted that Dublin Joe was the difference between them in the first half. Enough said. Mayo got no scorable frees in the first half. You have to be at least 6pts better than them to win by one.

Was I imagining it or was Dessie in tears at the end of TSG tonight as he wrapped it up. He reminds me of one of those flunkies from a Lady Diana documentary telling about what it was like to have worked for the peoples Princess

Joe is not liked in Cavan and he said "Joe loves Dublin and is treated like royalty when he comes to Dublin" A last minute tap over free wasnt given to mayo last year to win the game after Basticks pick up. Yet they get one this year to win it.... Even the Dub fans (like annascaul) are getting embarrassed i would say

Just back. Was in the Nally. Glad to have any ticket!! Though Joe made some big calls, Missed the Eoghan O'Gara eye gouging on Colum Boyle, did not give a penalty for a foul on Lee Keegan in the parrallelogram. Keegan was playing advantage and then he was fouled again. My understanding is that the free is given for the second foul and if that is in the paralellogram then it is a penalty, the word "advantage" has got to mean something. Dermot Connolly seemed to charge into Chris Barrett to get the last free, Barrett stood his ground, that is not a free against him, if anything it is a free for charging. Lots of soft frees for the blues. Andy Moran and Jason Doherty were being fouled a lot of the second half in full view of the umpires who did/said nothing. Is it time for a TV/video official to have some live input like in the rugby, because bad refereeing decisions made a difference of about 1-3 against Mayo today. A bad decision cost us Darren O'Sullivan at a crucial time in the SF as well. Referees performance should not determine the match outcome perversely. Mayo fans around me were griefstruck afterwards, I felt as if I was in a disaster zone.

I think James mc Carthy emotional interview is testimony to the fact that these Dublin guys put there heart and soul into GAA. No different to James o Donoghue ,Colm Boyle or Sean Cavanagh. To be honest I have found the last two weeks on here nothing but a blame game and something usually reserved for the Meath lads. Trying to blame Dublin millions on every one else's short comings. Mick mack at the forefront scouring the Internet and reproducing quotes from various authors to justify an agenda. I'm conscious this is Kerry forum and everyone entitled to their opinion. But really lately there is no proper discussion on actual Gaa . Just herd following and blaming refs . Have to say earlier in the year there was great discussion. I understand Kerry aren't involved now so interest and things will slightly shift . But lads some of this blaming is cringe worthy. I'm told Hoganstand or Mayo Blog is bad, I don't think know . But I think I'll take a break from here for a while. I might drop back in January , congratulations on your minor victory. I still think you will be our biggest rival next year and hopefully then we can debate in proper discussion.

Commiserations to the Mayo lads here, and all the great supporters I watched the game with. There's nothing else can be said to you folks, except, and this is not plamasing, yis will definitely be back next year. Andy Moran should get POTY, what a year.
Thanks to those who have congratulated us here, and I'm loving the rest of it. Comhgairdeas libh mar an Foireann Beagáin, an epic well of talent is brewing, exciting years ahead.
Most of all comhgairdeas le na hImreóirí Ath Chliath, a truly great team/squad of the era, who have had to defeat a serious one or two opponents every single year in all the semi-finals bar one, and all the finals, truly a sign of the best Dublin team ever, by far.
Thanks everyone here for another great year of discussion, debate and rows, and of course the mines of information that allow the rest of us to look like we know anything at all. Baoin teathnamh as an Samhain sibh go léir, hope it is mellow and fruitful.
