What an end to a great championship.

In recent years my gra for the GAA has waned even past my own county's struggles but yesterday when you witnessed the way the game was played, there's something about the way a team playes reflecting its identity and you see the emtion and what it means its brings it back home what this association is about or at least what it should be about.

Enjoy every minute of it.

Well done to Mayo yesterday. They were the much better team and have been a breath of fresh air in this years championship. I love Andy Moran, his interviews are top class, not the usual old guff from managers, always has something interesting to say.

Hopefully the style of football that Mayo play will become the norm, its just great to watch. This is a very young Mayo team so would expect them win more All -Irelands. Enjoy the celebrations.

OK, OK i do have one gripe!!

Admit it, how many times have you watched the last fisted point from Tommy Conroy I think it was and imagined the alternative where he hand passes it across to Kobe who basically has an open goal and you imagine the scenes when he blasts it to the net??

Every time I see it im just still shouting to play him in, play him in!!

Now thats the ending (not that any single person in Mayo cares lol) but thats the Hollywood ending right there.

Well done Mayo. Fantastic pure and honest performance to clinch it in the end.

I know I've slagged ye plenty on here (all in good jest of course) but I was delighted to see ye reach the promised land. Would love to be 25 years younger and do the rip in Mayo this week.

Enjoy the celebrations.

Have Mayo just won the best All Ireland championship ever? There were many ups and downs for umpteen teams and Mayo are the last team standing. For me it was the best ever.

Well done Mayo on a fantastic performance and win yesterday-so well deserved and a great team effort where every player was immence.Really happy that Aidan O'Shea finally has a celtic cross-although he did not get on the pitch yesterday h8s contribution like many others down the years has been huge.Record appearance holder in championship football says it all and yet some of rubbish he has had to put up with is mind boggling.Listening to him talk and praise his teammates after the game shows his character
Well done Mayo and Aidan O'Shea

Well done to the Mayo team on a good win yesterday. I hear there's a small, informal celebration in Castlebar this evening. I'd say Andy and the lads will enjoy that, as they should, then get back to business in the next few days, analyse what they can improve on from yesterday and start working towards the next one...

Messing aside,enjoy every second of it, each and every one of you. If ever a county deserved it, it's Mayo. Delighted for you all.
