A big congrats to the neighbours and especially Andy Moran! I knew Andy talked good but he has proven he can walk it as well. I'll admit I doubted whether he had the capabilities but it seems that he is meticulous in how he's approached the job managing Mayo. From the stuff mentioned about looking for funding, linking the underage, development squads and senior teams and trying to set up lads with jobs closer to home to reduce the numbers living away in Dublin. Then marry that with working out a style of play that goes with Mayos strengths and creating something that Mayo were always lacking, multiple scoring forwards and long range shooters. Add to that a belief that they could take on the best and win in an All Ireland final. To put that all together in year 1 is some achievement. Take a bow.

Absolutely delighted. SIncerest congrats to all. Brilliant performance.Brilliant football. Great for football, badly needed for Connacht football and absolutely mighty for Mayo football. Enjoy. I hope my following comment is not construed as sour grapes from a Galway perspective because its absolutely not, but i have to say that Mayo got the rub of the green from refs decisions perspective. Maybe not enough to influence the result as Mayo were CLEARLY THE BETTER TEAM and thoroughly deserved the win but since i , and others,previously commented on Kerrys luck in getting to final , i think in the interests of consistency , it should be referenced. I think most pundits have avoided this point as nobody wants to be seen to rain on the parade. I think the decision balance was more subtle than in kerrys QF or SF or indeed in the Galway Dublin QF but i do think the double hop miss was blatant and if it was a Kerry player that had gotten away with it i would be going crazy. Also whilst the Mayo tackling/hounding was fantastic there was a few of them that, in my opinion, should have been given as Kerry frees. Maybe there was one or 2 decisions that went Kerrys way , but my view is that on this occasion, thankfully, Kerry did not get the rub from the officials. anotheralias (Galway) - Posts: 1104 - 28/07/2026 10:25:56 2687712 Link 2 |
