My die-hard Dub Da will scalp me if he ever reads this, but I was pretty happy with the result of the match on Saturday.
He and the rest of my family would say it's because I don't actually know the first thing about GAA and have no idea what this means, and they're probably right. But from an outsiders perspective, that streak had to end. Needless to say I'm not the only one who thinks so, pretty much every corner of Ireland erupted into a rousing rendition of The Green and Red of Mayo when the whistle blew on Saturday evening. While I can't give you an informed commentary of the match itself and how everything went down, I can show you the best and funniest twitter reactions to the result. That's just as good, right?

We love a bit of a lip sync to mark the occasion.

To be fair, if Matthew was still in there they'd have to get the word in somehow.
