Former Irish rugby star Ronan O’Gara has made a cheeky decision for the Dublin stars after they landed their sixth All-Ireland in a row tonight.
The Dubs won 2-14-0-15 over Mayo to clinch their 30th title at Croke Park.
But the former Munster O’Gara star, whose mother hails from May, wasn’t too impressed with the story she made to Boys in Blue, accusing them of staying longer than they should during the thrilling finale and comparing them to the soccer star. Brazilian Neymar.
The Cork man tweeted after the game: “Disappointed and sad for my mother. Mayo is not there … Disappointing to see so many Neymars in Croke Park.”
Despite his dislike for perceived theatricality, O’Gara admitted that Dublin is a special team.
A fan responded to his tweet, saying: “Let’s give a little credit to the Dublin footballers who have won 6 in a row. And they are a good football team.”
With O’Gara responding: “A brilliant brilliant team.”
Dessie Farrell’s team ran out of the traps in an exciting start to today’s final when Dean Rock found the net in a record 13 seconds.
But Mayo responded well and entered the fourth quarter just one point behind before the Boys in Blue stormed the finish line to secure a five-point victory over their former rivals.
Several players from both sides were involved in a tunnel riot as the teams headed to the halftime break.
Hands were raised as things got very heated between old rivals after an entertaining 35 minutes of soccer, though the referee took no further action.
Within minutes of their historic win, the Dubs were installed as runaway favorites to retain their title in 2021.
BoyleSports spokesperson Lawrence Lyons said: “We are already cutting Dublin and the fact that the odds are 1/2 shows how well this team is thought of among Irish punters.
“We make Kerry the second seed at 4/1, but all the first bets we made are supporting Dublin’s dominance to continue.”
