Come on Mayo.
Would usually watch the game in a pub or at my parent's house (dad is from Mayo), but we are in tier 3, so having to make do with the live score on BBC.

It’s on sky sports if you have it? Or you can get live commentary on rte.ie

Dubs never looked like they needed to hit top gear. Mayo off to the worst possible start. Expended so much energy in the first half and just proved unsustainable in the second.

Dublin, though, so strong throughout the side. Fenton and Howard immense in second half. Never looked like losing once the clock hit 60 minutes. Keep ball and then punish when Mayo jump out to press. Incredible stuff.

Back to the drawing board for Mayo and the rest of the teams around the country. Dubs clearly prohibitive favourites for a 7th successive Sam next year.

just back from the pub, fair dues to Mayo kept Dublin on their toes but for the last 15 minutes, the Dubs took control as always.
a very strange year with an All Ireland Final in December on a Saturday.

Dublin had 10 points by the time I got in the front door. Hardly noticed them for the rest of the game. Surely this year Mayo…

Instead of the All-Ireland they are calling it the Rest of Ireland Final... LOL

Thank fuck for that. Dubs like the man city of AA football. Same colours too, the pricks. :whistle:

C'mon the Rebels for the hurling final too. Cork and Mayo champions again would feel like a great throwback to good times

First championship game Brian Fenton has lost. Mad record. Thought it was over at half time. Some fight shown by Mayo

Brilliant to see Dublin beat and no better county to do it ( cos mine is pretty rubbish)

I only set foot in the place once - about 50 years ago on a family driveabout holiday with Ma,Pa & 3 siblings in an old H reg Rover P6 like this one, 1970 I think

Big weekend. Hopefully see Mayo go all the way tomorrow.

Anyone got kids playing in the ABC’s today?

I'll definitely be shouting for Mayo. Tyrone's path to the final was dodgy, to say the least. Scenes when Mayo inevitably bottles it.
