Be gracious Basher - look how we have celebrated after a massive 5 year gap and thank God you are of Kerry. Imagine if you were living in Killorglin or some other Kerry town and your parents relocated to Carlow or Leitrim or even Mayo. Your Kerry blood in your veins makes you a footballing colossus in your new country (yes you and your brother even) and you may never get to lift the Sam Maguire due to your forced re-location. Remember the pain of our 11 year gap and be gentle with others because they don't get to count 36,37 .....

Congrats to Kerry on their All Ireland double win. Great achievement when you consider retirements and injury to Gooch. Only Kerry could go do what they did this year. See ye in Killarney in Feb.

Enjoy being fleeced on and off the field by the Jackeens in 3 weeks time. I'll watch it at the local with my 3 euro pints of Beamish and savor every minute of the Dubs giving ye a lashing. And of course I will be the first on here to wish you all the best on your depressing journey home. Enjoy lads. Chat to ye in 3 weeks! Where are you now @allpro10 ?? hope the Beamish last Sunday was tasty because I'll tell ya the beer was most sweet in Dublin Sunday evening. Did you manage to savor the match as you said you would.. Nothing depressing about the Journey home as Sam entered the County bounds. Taught you would be here to wish us all the best? ?

Ah he is wrong as hell but the facilities should have prevented it and while Limerick is a fine city it should have been played in Croker. Your heart would have to say let the poor auld devil off with a warning, games wouldn't be the same without passionate characters like him and he did walk the walk, he is not a thug and is probably a gentle giant who wouldn't harm a fly.
Maybe this is a situation of the authorities allowing the heart to rule the head and in fairness they didn't cover themselves in glory with a few of judgement calls they made as a collective and under less pressure, a lot less pressure. Have a heart lads, this man would die for his county and Mayo have been through the mill. How many of us would have also lost the run of ourselves in the white heat of extra time in a replay of an AI semi and not having won for a lifetime?

I Think that the guy that ran onto the field in Limerick was foolish but motivated by genuine passion. It was earlier stated that Mayo have not won in his lifetime. We can't imagine that scenario because of our success at all levels, I would not like to be an opposing fan beside a Kerry supporter after a 63 year famine. To be fair he didn't threaten anyone but I accept the situation could have been very dangerous if he was a genuine loose cannon and assaulted either players or officials. Can you imagine if Michael Murphy, Cooper, Brogan, O Donoghue or someone of that or any level had their jaw broken by a loose cannon... Then we would have a major problem. His one year ban might seem stiff but in five years time if this scenario were to unfold the bullock from mayo would be paraded and a marker of the failure to act when it was appropriate. The right decision has been made when all is considered ,,

just sums up the Mayo mentality when not only does this person believe he did nothing wrong, but people agree with him. this nonsense about the game being in Limerick, being the reason for the invasion, is just laughable.
Mayo are a different breed, thats for sure.

I can only imagine the reaction in Kerry if the semi final replay was fixed for Dr Hyde Park, Roscommon which is about 90 mins from Castlebar, the same time it takes to get from Tralee to Limerick. I can understand completely Mayos feelings on this.
And the ref in the replay was as bad for Mayo as McQuillan was for us in the 2011 final. But Mayo brought that on themselves by the Lee Keegan move, in my view.

Its 45 minutes longer from Castlebar to Limerick than it is from Tralee to Limerick- its not a huge deal. If this is the criteria on how venues will be decided then things will get ridiculous- castlebar is 3 hours from dublin and tralee is 3 and a half hours so by the distance logic the 2 games more or less cancel each other out. Its a pitch and they should have got on with it and as for the comparison given- Roscommon town has nowhere near the infrastructure that Limerick has for handling something as important as an All Ireland semi final.

And just because Mayo bang on and on about a couple of decisons/non-decisions that went against them doesn't make it so. I've watched the game several more times on the screen and plenty of stuff went the other way too, unlike 2011 where it was all one way. Ref was 50/50 at worst.

The GAA refused to fix Dr Crokes v Castlebar for Limerick as it was deemed too favourable to Dr crokes!!! All i am saying is that I can see it from Mayos perspective.

He should be grateful for such a lenient punishment which may be difficult to enforce anyway. Poetic justice might see to it that he misses the year Mayo eventually lift Sam!

It was an extra 45 mins- similar to what Dublin is for us! Fine Kerry players may have played their more (not much though in fairness)- so does that mean that the All Ireland final should have been played outside of Croker as more Donegal players had experience of playing finals there than us? (with all our final virgins). All I know is that there is an excuse every time Mayo dont win and very little acceptance of the fact that they are just not and have not been good enough to win an All Ireland recently Limerick was a good pitch and a good stadium with sufficient facilities to cope with an All Ireland semi final and that showed as there were probably more Mayo fans there- so I dont understand what the problem was. As for the ref- yet another excuse and all part of the all encompassing anti-Mayo conspiracy that runs right through the GAA. The conspiracy also forced James Horan to leave Donaghy 1 on 1 with their full back, whom he was destroying, for the whole match.

Another Mayo fiction - played one game there in 9 years prior to the S/F (in 2011, I think).

Conor Mortimer has criticised James Horan’s record as Mayo manager.
The Shrule native, who launches his book ‘One Sunday: A day in the life of the Mayo football team’ next Wednesday, claims the former Mayo boss showed him “no respect” by dropping him for the 2012 Connacht SFC final against Sligo. Mortimer hasn’t played for Mayo since, claiming that his attempt to return to the squad was rebuked.
“I don’t buy into this being the best Mayo team ever or this being the best management ever,” Mortimer told breakinplay.ie
“For me, they’re (Horan) the same as previous managers, (John) Maughan and Mickey Moran got Mayo to All-Ireland finals.
“We played Donegal in an All-Ireland final (2012), they didn’t play well and they beat us. We played Dublin (in 2013) and it was their worst game of the year and they beat us.
“Kerry in the semi-final (this year) – the decisions that were made on the sideline are there to be seen, I don’t need to say it. Five points up with five minutes to go and they didn’t win the game.
“You can only blame yourselves and your circle, you can’t blame pitches, you can’t blame officials.”

I haven't been around for a while on this Forum, gone from a regular contributor to a more of a voyeur! Felt I needed to log on tonight to express my absolute appreciation for this Kerry team and what they have given to the cause this year. Would like to make the following points briefly 1. To each of the Kerry players from Brian Kelly to Jonathon Lyne to the subs who didnt get on today to the extended training panel each and everyone of ye should hold your head high for the commitment and never say die attitude ye have shown this year, ye are a credit to ye families. 2. To the Kerry management again ye are a credit. I am proud that since Eamon Fitz has come in he has neither been drawn into petty arguments , or cribbed about the oppposition, he and his team have pick the team and send them out to perform , win , lose or draw they make no excuses after. 3. To the players again they have not been drawn into petty items on the pitch, the level of self disciple ye have shown especially in the last two titanic battles has been exemplary. I have just seen watched the Cillian O'Connor kick on Killian Young and to say it is bad is an understatement. 4. To the senior players, and I speak of Donaghy , Dec O'Sullivan, Brian Sheehan , Gooch & AOM & Marc O'Se, ye appear to have accepted the position of senior players and looked to draw the best out of the young players despite at times this meaning you have lost your place to these players. 5. As much as I am happy to have won this evening , if we had lost but performed with the same level of discipline and sheer commitment I could not have faulted anyones efforts. 6. To the personal commitment year after year of senior players AOM , Dec O'Sullivan & MOS obviously the ravages of time are influencing the latter stages of your careers but to have the self discipline to train and perform as ye have this year , sometimes with injuries is nothing sort of awesome. Aidan O'Mahony being lifted off the pitch was kinda of fitting today, but if I had my way he would have been carried shoulder high from that pitch, he left everything out there. 7. I am as proud as I have every been as a Kerry Supporter , sometimes its not about winning but about attaining standards and commitment and how you perform as a team, I could not have wished for more from this group. Ciarrai Abú Best
