Moran was fairly tetchy in that press conference. Understand that's not the question you want to hear after getting to an AI final, but to say your county has been starved the past four or five years - starved how? Of All-Ireland finals? Of Connacht finals? There's many counties that haven't been in All-Ireland finals for decades, or haven't won their provincial in ages. That's what being starved is.

To all you Louth supporters out there, stay the course, what a year ye have had. What a journey, i know ye are all down and sore right now. I remember as a young Mayo lad back in 1993, fierce confident, we get to another AI after 1989, and we got absolutely hammered by Cork in that Semi final. And Derry beats Cork a few weeks later comfortably. This reminds me a lot of us back then for you guys. I remember fighting for our lives down in division three. Those were dark days in Mayo football and as a supporter you do think, things are hopeless. Keep going, keep building and keep fighting, ye are not that far off the mark. Someone in Leinster needs to give it to the Dubs these next few years. Also as a Mayo supporter, moving forward like we don't need reminding, we have won absolutely nothing. We got to where we need to be that's all. Was very proud of our lads today, we played well all over the field. Will we be good enough the next day, only time will tell? To beat Kerry or Dublin we got to be 10-15% better than we were today and that's going to take one hell of an effort!!

We outscored Down 1-17 to 0-5 from the 47th minute onwards. I'm not ashamed to say I cried at the finish and for the last 2-3 minutes of the game. I lost my Dad a few months back. We travelled Ireland all over following Wicklow. He'd have loved today.

Congrats to Mayo. Delighted to see a small bit of pride earned back for Connacht football. We could learn a lot from Mayo, ferocious tackling , feeding the talented forward line and letting them express themselves. We have as much or more talent than Mayo but our style and lack of determination and ruthlessness lets us down. Winning the final will be a huge ask, but i will be rooting for them as i hope most genuine Connacht football folk will. A west double with Galway hurlers would be unreal.

I won't begrudge them if they win Sam but I know well if we beat Cork and Louth en route to an all Ireland final the remarks about a "soft run" to the final from my Mayo colleagues would be never ending…

Replying To sponger: "RIP to your Dad.
I lost my Dad as well last October, but his Wicklow flag flew proudly in front of the house this week." Same to you Sponger. This man would follow any Wicklow team to Casement Park and beyond. He'd follow his club sides too. He'd be firmly behind Balto, An Tochár and Rathnew in the Leinster Club Campaigns of the 90s and 00s. I'm sure your dad had the same passion. I was like a madman at the finish. We deserved that day.

Hard luck Louth. We just killed the game in the third quarter. Hard to know what lies ahead for us. We've been in this position many times before…no good unless we seal the deal now. Been a great season for Louth. All the best next year. Yer fans were brilliant today.

Oh my God, what a wonderful day for Wicklow football. I'm delighted for all our supporters who've continued to support our footballers when it was easier to walk away. I'm delighted for the players and management and I think it is fitting that Dean Healy won man of the match today and walked up the steps of the Hogan stand to accept the Tailteann cup on behalf of this Wicklow squad - what a leader and a footballer.
The contrast between the team in the second half compared to the first half was unbelievable. They stood back in the first half and let Down play all the football. I don't know what Oisin said to them at half-time but they were like men possessed in the second half and when they got the momentum, they punished Down severely. Freethinker alluded to previous Wicklow teams in his post; these teams probably had more talented players individually but this squad of players have a spirit and a resilience that is priceless in any team. Not only that but they are very talented footballers. Some pundits seem to think we don't have footballers in Wicklow; hopefully today sent out a message that we have footballers who can compete with a lot of other counties in Ireland. Roll on 2027.
P.S. I hope this ends the nonsense about division four teams needing to compete in a third tier competition. Today should end such talk by people who don't bother to watch teams beyond division 2.

Well done Mayo what a performance, even the most positive Mayo person couldnt have seen that big of a win coming.
Hard luck to Louth, didnt do themselves justice yesterday, they are alot better than that.
Ryan O Donoghue a class act, best player on the field. Closely followed by Kobe and of course Berine.
Its hard to get used to seeing Mayo have such a talented /direct full forward line.
Every player played well, pity Towey couldn't have got few more scores to give himself a confidence boost. Coen bit loose on Grimes but still worked hard.
Callinan and Hession very good, be lost without Hession is he very important at getting the ball up the field his acceleration is unreal.

Replying To Bruno@1: "Well done Wicklow on a great win yesterday-second half performance was unreal.Enjoy the moment and all the celebrations that come with it.We experienced that in 2022 with our Tailteann cup win and dont let anyone think that this does mean much-just ask and see the players/supporters reaction-I know we did in 2022.Congrats" Thank you. Let's see if we can emulate yourselves in a few yrs and challenge in Leinster.

Derry and Kildare. Kerry beat Cavan and Mayo to win in 1997. History remembers winners and how you get there or who you beat means nothing in the end up.
Best of luck to the Galway hurlers next Sunday. Connacht is the poor relation when it comes to All Irelands and it would be great to see both Liam and Sam in Connacht together for the first time ever.

The pundits tipped Meath. The pundits tipped Louth and if Kerry win today absolutely nobody will think Mayo have a chance so supporters will have no impact on team preparation.

They were brilliant in 98 and im pretty sure were strong favourites going into the final.
We also beat a mayo team who reached the previous 2 finals and roscommon werent bad around then either.
