What a game.
The old rule that the sequel can’t be better than the original didn’t apply to today’s clash between Mayo and Dublin at Croke Park in the All-Ireland Football Championship semi-final replay.
The two sides played out an epic game, with Dublin coming out on top 3-15 to 1-14, to reach the All-Ireland Championship final against Kerry.
The engrossing battle between the two sides certainly impressed Twitter users, and even managed to suck in viewers from that other Titanic clash on show this afternoon: San Marino v England.
Switching over to watch the GAA. At least it'll be competitive. FIFA need to re-think these mind-numbingly boring games against pub teams.

Sorry ITV but #DUBvMAY #GAA is far better viewing than #ENG v San Marino.

Revellers at Electric Picnic got to see the game.

While others focused on Mayo’s despair.

Heartbroken for Mayo.
But Dublin are on fire.#DUBvMAY— Síle Seoige (@SileSeoige) September 5, 2015
Mayo not quite there, a bad tactical decision in aimlessly lumping the ball towards Aido. But big congrats to Dublin,they are a quality team
