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.

Replying To LárBáire:  "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…"
Don't remember anyone saying soft run to the great Galway 1998 team…? 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.

Huge and special praise for Roscommon women footballers.

U16s and U18s girls into All-Ireland finals and today the Intermediate team has reach the Croke Park final. Well done to all involved.

When you add in male Connacht titles with Roscommon Seniors,U20s,U17s and Brigids,Strokestown. Not half bad for county of our size and resources

But he's right. 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.

A 4 point (2 score)victory over a Dublin team who were wasteful in front of goal, and both of kerrys goals being pretty fortutitous.
Hardly living up to the hot favourites tag."
Kerry = Argentina

Replying To endgame:  "Roscommon got a run on Mayo in that second half. There was huge hype in Louth last week and it got to their players. Best of luck to ye v Kerry. Maybe a young Mayo team with no baggage is your best bet of an All Ireland. As for Roscommon, we were capable of a good run in the All Ireland series but flunked it. Too much about winning a Connacht title. That Nestor cup looks less shiny by the day."
We'd have bitten your hand off for a Nestor at the start of the season.

Not possibly. Sure, that's the way.

Well done to Mayo on an impassive performance but I wonder did you just pull the short straw with your final opponents?

Well done to Wicklow on their win yesterday. I've been following the Tailteann throughout the year and noticed ye have some fine players like Oisin McGraynor, Eoin Darcy, Kevin Quinn. Good defenders like Eoin Murtagh and Malachy Stone. Complimented then by the 2 players that glue the team together of Mark Jackson and Dean Healy.

Very well said Analyser, and great to hear some positive news for a change. You really put things into perspective by outlining the great performance of eight Roscommon teams this year.
Great to see the ladies under 17's, minor and intermediate teams all making it to All Ireland finals.
Hopefully they will all get great support.

Replying To D.Hyde:  "This Mayo team and the way they are playing is completely different to the Mayo team that we played in April."
Played better yesterday however match stats for Mayo v Cork was almost a carbon copy v Roscommon. The difference was the shooting efficiency with Cork' and Roscommon.

A real lucky win for Kerry as they were against Tyrone also. Mayo every right to fancy themselves and honour the 25th anniversary of the last Connacht success.

Replying To Seniorleague:  "Dublin 3 up at the time of posting,dominating the game against a kerry team looking increasingly disheartened (as they often do when things go against them)
The hot favourites tag given to kerry in the build up to this game was ridiculous, regardless of what happens from here."
The 'hot favourites tag given to kerry' was to win the game, which they did.
A game of football lasts 70 minutes, during which there can be many ups and downs for both teams. But nothing matters or counts, but the final score. Not the score after 40 minutes (Dublin 3 up at the time of posting,dominating the game against a kerry team looking increasingly disheartened).
