It was a remarkable performance from Keegan. I couldnât get over the lack of influence Kilkenny had. There were a couple of phantom frees given to Kilkenny by McQuillan. Watched the game back and I thought he was very harsh on Mayo at certain stages. In relation to Keegan throwing GPS device it only heightens my respect for him. Some snowflakes on here obviously have never played the game and would prefer a respectful silence like the kind observed in Thomand park. You do whatever the fuck it takes to win.

Keegan was only trying to keep up his ground covered stats so Rochford wouldnât sub him

Anybody head to the Dublin celebration thing earlier in Smithfield? Anything new in it or just Kevin McManamon murdering Damo Dempsey or Aslan covers?
There were 15 or so of my Mayo in-laws and friends back in our house after the match. They were absolutely heartbroken. Sport shouldnât inflict this sort of misery on people.

Sad to see another Muldoon condone blatant cheating.
Keegan is a disgrace and deserved to end up on the losing side due to his antics.

Some interesting points here
How did Hughie in the Boarâs Head get such a hold over the GAA crowd in Dublin? Heâs been pulling them in for over 10 years now.
I used to attend meetings in the Capel Building one time and on occasion youâd see an inter county manager pissed in there at lunch time.
The same I imagine with Cillian OâConnor replacing Dean Rock on the first replacements list being the only change.
Perhaps you donât understand the concept of the All-Stars. They are individual awards given for individual performances over the course of the season.
Mayo played 10 championship games to Dublinâs six and most of their games were epic clashes, therefore Mayo players had a much greater chance to stake a claim for inclusion than Dublin who coasted through Leinster with facile wins against poor opposition.
Also most of the best individual performances in the final came from Mayo players.
Jim Gavinâs comment about knowing what itâs like to lose a national title was cuntish I thought. He likened losing the league final to Mayoâs 66 year wait.
Very pointed and look at me Iâm a pro bullshit.
He couldâve referenced 92 or 94 or the humiliations of the noughties but not our Jim.

Youâre going out of your way to be offended now, mate.
Jim is the ultimate leader of men. A top class act.

I always get the impression that everything Jim says and does is with one eye on his future corporate speaking career. Every utterance is the kind of corporate speak nonsense they lap up at these things

Ah Iâm not really. I just thought it was a sly dig at Mayo.
Heâs so fucking boring.
Hughie is heavily involved with St Brigids. Not sure how it became such a Dublin GAA spot but good luck to him. He is thoroughly alright sort
Build a bridge fathead
He is to be sure.
