It had to be said…. Not to put a downer on Mayo’s parade, but it must be argued that Darragh Beirne’s 40th-minute goal to put his side four points up against Kerry, was questionable at best. The steps rule in Gaelic football states ‘that a player can carry the ball in their hand for a […]

This was brilliant! One of the best takeaways from Mayo’s All-Ireland win has been the good will shown by rival counties towards the long-suffering Green and Red.

Brilliant from Andy Moran! It was written in the stars for Mayo yesterday, so much so that even a huge jersey error worked out in their favour, as boss Andy Moran explained.

Not a great look…. Considering all the chat talking down Mayo during the week, from the media and from fans, the Green and Red had more than enough ammo to get them fired up for the All-Ireland final. But a certain Kerry player gave them even more fuel before kick-off, when he tried to employ […]
