Speaking on the Sunday Game after Mayo's enthralling draw with Roscommon Spillane said:
"They are still in the championship. They played for fifty minutes against Galway (with 14 men) and Galway fell over the line by a point. They were six points down against Clare playing against the wind in the second half and won comfortably. They were two points down in the first half of extra time against Cork and came back and won.
"The one thing you have to say about these Mayo players is, sadly I don’t think they’re ever going to win the All-Ireland but what they have in abundance is the resilience, the spirit, the never say die attitude.
"You’ve got to admire that, that was a game where they were playing badly and they dug a result, they got a second chance."
The team will have another crack at the whip against Roscommon on Monday, 7 August in Croke Park.Explore more on these topics:
