It may have taken a bit longer than expected, but it’s finally official… Dublin are All-Ireland Football Champions once again!
The Dubs overcame Mayo in a fierce battle in Croke Park this evening and it’s fair to say that we’re all a bit emotionally exhausted after it.
If you want to relive the rollercoaster that was today’s match, here’s are 15 tweets that capture what we were all thinking…
The black cards
If you took a vote in pub I’m in now black card would be abolished ahead of USC and Irish Water #dubvmayo #gaa
