DUBLIN CORNER BACK Michael Fitzsimons was named as the man of the match after today’s dramatic All-Ireland SFC final replay.
Mayo pushed Dublin to the 78th minute of the encounter, but lost out by a single point to Jim Gavin’s men.
It was a thrilling match with no shortage of excellent performances from both sides. But it was Fitzsimons, a late addition to the starting team today, who earned the highest praise from the RTE panel for his performance.

Pity, would have loved to have seen him in action one more time, an artist of a footballer
You can watch him on Sky Sports every weekend in MLS
Sorry, can’t afford sky sports!
Lads I don’t even think borini would get in our squad
There is no way they will bring him, he will be first one cut fron the list, I assume some of the players were picked just to fill a squad for the training camp so they can have full games
Poor squad by Italian standards. Can’t see them getting out the group.
They’ve good pedigree which can count for a lot in these tournaments
Who can finish ahead of them though, aside from Belgium? Our team isn’t any better and Sweden are muck
He is not in the squad…. Unlikely? What kind of headline is that?
Someone could get injured in fairness…
Is there any way we could get Pirlo to wear a Glenn Whelan mask.
It’d never fit
Ye that squad is very poor for their standards. We actaully have a chance to get second in our group or most likely get through as one of best placed 3rd teams
Italians like a bit of bribery, this is chance for Delaney to do something useful with those wages
It is poor, but Buffon, Chiellini, Bonucci, Barzagli, Florenzi, De Rossi, and Motta would all walk into the Irish team. How many of our players would walk into theirs? We always have a chance, past tournaments (Euro 2012 aside) bear this out; but let’s not kid ourselves. Even without Marchetti and Verratti, Italy are still much better on paper than Ireland.
Thought Pirlo was gonna get a recall with Verratti and Marchisio injured
No Pirlo. No Party.
Don’t worry Joe Allen will be there
No room for Mario?
May not be their best squad but they have the knack of progressing in tournaments
