A DEVASTATED LEE Keegan has promised Mayo fans that this team will fight on despite their latest All-Ireland heartbreak.
“Sadness and regret fill me,” wrote Keegan, who was today nominated for another All-Star as well as Footballer of the Year alongside Dublin duo Brian Fenton and Ciaran Kilkenny.
“We have lost but I have the honour and privilege of running into battle with legends that I will respect for life.”
Saturday’s one-point loss to Dublin was Mayo’s eighth defeat in the final since they last lifted Sam Maguire in 1951.
“Dublin GAA are a supreme outfit and deservedly All-Ireland winners,” Keegan added.
“The customary tweet or message is to say we will fight on and we will but it will be a tough couple of months soul searching.
“As ever, supporters made [our] year by always doing what you do best. Thanks for following and supporting us through everything.”

Good interview. An honest lad. Not entirely blameless in this whole debacle but nobody is blameless including supporters.
Now who the fcuk is going to manage Galway next year.. I fear the worst
Who would want to manage Galway now, nobody that is of a better calibre than Anthony Cunningham anyway.
They have become a very unlikeable team with their carry on for the last couple of months. Their “handbags ” behaviour lastnight was embrassing
What a pity the didn’t use the ‘handbags’ they had in Boston, in the second half of the all Ireland rather than capitulate to Kilkenny.
Harte has more to answer than most if the rumours in Galway are true, why was I taken off !!! 2 words, Charlie Carter
They wouldn’t fight when they were supposed to fight…in the All Ireland
