Mayo haven't been on dis ting since 1951: ILF welcomes all comers to Cluiche Cheannais na hÉireann 2013

But a match in it yet

Che O'Donnell on for Tyrone I wonder how votes his Faither

INTENSE START

mayo 0-1

stick yr hawkeye up yer arse, bet its a dub working it

cheap ball out of hand from cafferkey gives it back to dubs easy kicking distance out 0-1 to 0-1

mayo intensity giving them opportunites, which they are missing. must be a final

0-3 to 0-1 but letting them away with it not to already be five up

one on one the mayo halfline have them scared, three points in it

shitty goal conceded from allardycesque punt all level

dub on the back foot but comfortable there while mayo struggle to turn it into points, one in it to the eventual winners

another soft wide from mcloughlin, the theo walcott of this final

Lots of wides. Dublin taking time getting into it!

Bloody hell @ crossbar!

thought that hennelly stopped it

dublin much more penetrating when they get it in attack, but holding it in reserve yet

another great save hennelly, mayo look paperthin at the back

Hennelly justifying petrol money. Dublin seem to be pushing now.

seven mayo wides yet, a lot of them gettable

right, spurs stream on, two screens max, see ye the other end

and commiserations

A lot of sloppy play from both teams

(xpost) Perhaps. It's a tough one to call. Will look like Cork supporters have swamped stadium by end with amount of red in crowd from sunburn.

Dublin out of jail in an incredible way to be only a point down. Awful mistake by the Mayo keeper.

Very poor game so far, which is a shame.

And shit by cluxton too. Game on.

Just as Dublin were getting back into it

Just as

MDMA

MDMA rushing thru

Dublin know how to win

Ref has been woeful all day, erratic on both sides.

Yeah agreed, not biased but shit

He doesn't know what a foul is.

Mayo determined to cause nervous breakdowns...

Ref not great

There we are

Cant say ye didnt deserve it lads, to win a final you just need to win it

Four players managed to lose ball in front of Dublin goal ffs

And rte player crashed. Typical

MAYO!

NOT REALLY

what were they doing at the end there?

Very disappointing considering Mayo had waited since 1951 and started so well.

What was up with that free? Anyone?

Both teams blew it repeatedly

Mayo were so crap in the 2nd half. Maybe the freetaker thought there was more time on the clock.

By a point FFS! So many wides.

That final free was unreal. What was he thinking?

Mayo with hand pass fannydangle when horsing it into the full forward line was what was needed

Cluxton dreading speech more than match. Funny he didn't raise cup. To each their own.

Mayo with hand pass fannydangle when horsing it into the full forward line was what was needed

And vice versa as regards Dublin, IMO.

Everyone OTT with fannydangling.

Disappointing that mayo didnt play their game is really it. No football on display at all, and ugly ugly wides

Both sides were poor and Dublin kinda won by dint of that we have a right to be here sport man united thing.

Yeah exactly that

I had a feeling it might be that way, felt very good being there today after getting the monkey off our back in 2011. In some ways I'd say Mayo didn't have a strategy. Dublin have won all their big games this year without obliterating anyone, all felt very subtly in control, nobody has ever said they played perfectly.

It is a big buzz tho, I was at tons of games in the 90s but I worked in a car park near Croker from 97 to the time I left for London.

Saw the 95 final in person and loads of losses, that team should have won way more. Nice to see another win after 2011.

Mayo the best team by some way all year, but otm about dub having a strategy to win and we not. Something to work on next year imo, this team not down nor out.

Gavin is the manager we've never had. Never seen such plotted control in GAA with Dublin. Still think this Dublin team are going to win more titles now, not every year or whatever.

The greatest team of all time playing at home with unlimited finacial and personnel resources shouldn't need ref decisions to win matches, just an opinion

Flat is an understatement

Any other two teams any other stadium thats a red obv

Mayo have burst their arse to get this close, dubs will close it out handy from here with 15 men

Maybe not but the extra three men will come in handy from now on

Mayo lead, this is the dark moment

thoughts and prayers

Eight minutes to midnight lads

The interest is in how we manage to fuck this

Ans is ofc a soft goal

Six minutes to midnight

Still only the inevitable goal in it

Will it be a keeper error, an OG, will it be from a particularly unnecessary turnover?

Time will tell

well i'm gonna listen to Iron Maiden now so there's at least that

Fear of Croke Park

:D <3

Jesus big hits this late

Kerry will make shit of us no doubt

Game on here but kerry should have enough from here

Im in bits

Id rather dublin or kerry than these fuckin cool customer bandits

Kerry seemed to be very dependent on Clifford, thought theyd be a lot better.

Tyrone surprise teams that are far better on paper by dictating terms

If mayo allow them to do that they will lose

Early in the day for a second bottle but here i am

If thats United its a pen

Two nothing goals given, three good chances spurned, a penalty missed

Why would god help mayo any more than he already does, the fuckin wasters

Absolutely rank mental performance from mayo, got what they deserved
