2021 All Ireland Football-Covid is a cod tyrone style

How could Horan look in at Loftus all day? It was obvious from early on his head was gone.

What was man bun pink boots doing for the first goal letting the man in behind him like that?

Mayo are nothing but shapers, useless bottling cunts, pony tail man with the pink boots ffs, you’d go to a lot of trouble to get boots like that, absolute shapers

I’ve never had any sympathy for a group of supporters, Mayo are much the same as anybody else really, they’re passionate, probably felt that it was their day,
But they’re just supporters, I have long felt sympathy for some great Mayo players that haven’t gotten across that line, Keith Higgins, Andy Moran in recent years, Lee Keegan will probably never do it either now, it’s a tough station

Everyone knew mayoman was going to make a hames of the penalty, most of Ganleys broke out in hysterical laughter after he missed

It’s so rare a ball is kicked in like that Mullin would have felt being out in front was more important

You’d think the keeper would have came off his line and just stood there once he’d seen that meyler had only one place to kick the ball with Mullen in front of mcshane … just like coming off line early in 2013 would have cut out brogan flicked goal … that’s Mayo though , they never seem to Learn …

Only signing in now. 700 posts to catch up on😳 A few musings I made from watching the match in the pub. Conor Loftus was so selfish in possession and really went the opposite way of what you would have expected after a couple of early misses. He was taking on ridiculous shots and bringing the ball into the tackle. Not working his way into the game with safe options at all.

Don’t know if anyone has noted it yet but it was the very same score as last years All-Ireland final. 2-14 to 0-15.

After Tyrones second goal, Keegan got a ball on his own 45 then proceeded to drive the ball hard at Tyrone and kick it off the outside of the right from 50 yards out.

It was a brilliant score from an all time great.

He’s a modern day Ciaran Carey/Ken McGrath type figure that despite not winning the big one will not be forgotten.

Loftus missed a tap in goal. His head was off from the 1st minute

He also won a free for another point in the play after that

Paddy Durcan was poor enough today as well.

Hampsey is a some yoke for Tyrone.

An All-Ireland final is a law unto itself. In any given era you’ll need a minimum of 13 playing to their standard level with even a few excelling themselves. I always go back to the day in 92 when absolutely every Donegal player met the required standard, you simply just cannot carry passengers.
Today, oddly for a battle-hardened outfit, Horan spent too long looking at a solid half-dozen, Loftus for example, but he wasn’t alone. All of the 6 forwards bar O’Donoghue could justifiably have been hooked.
They were an embarrassment to themselves today and yet again that plank Hennelly made an absolute balls of things. You’d almost think there was a curse on them. Tyrone went about their business in a tight and tidy manner, rode their luck and won deservedly. Can’t say fairer than that.

Lee Keegan has scored 2-04 from play in All Ireland Final’s.

Some going when he’s generally marking the opposition’s best forward.

O Connor had a very quiet game

And AOS has never scored in one

Very poor, you could hook any of them. They were terribly lacking leadership on the field, fuck me, even here, in club football, we’d have a couple of lads who would be roaring and shouting and waving fists at any modicum of good play we produce. DoC should have been driving them, he’s around long enough.
They’re losers, simple as. The curse, like it or not, lives on.

Has it been mentioned already about Tyrone having the 3 stars on the jersey to represent their 3 AI wins? A 4th star to come onto it next year.

Lovely touch on how they’ve built their own tradition in recent years.

Tyrone 2021*

Limerick should have a star now after eventually reaching ten.
