watched the game at home today. it's always worth watching it after seeing it live. no way dubs can be as poor the next day. just look at the wides they kicked when they had easy chances. seamie o shea can't pass the ball he gave it away so much it was crazy. moran 2nd half and o connor saved mayo - obviously they defended well but the dubs still kicked some howlers. if mayo play like that again the next day they won't win imo. need to cut out the ridiculous errors and need a big game from aidan o shea he was woeful yesterday.
worrying thing for mayo is when they get back level they never push on. same thing in the 2 finals they lost. they only seem to play when they are 4 or 5 pts down. at least they played well for large parts of the game and their fitness won them the second half. despite all that dubs should have still won credit to mayo for that last play - one mistake and they'd lost another AI. |

12,000 tickets more this time as there is no minor game so much easier to get a ticket(non season ticket holders).

If i was from Mayo i wouldnt be worried at all. Hit with two sucker punches, it takes so much energy to get back into a game from the position they were in. They never had a chance to push on. It was Dublin who ultimately crumbled under pressure.
Mayo can improve big time. Young players like Durcan and Harrison getting better every game. |

Very poor standard not helped by the weather but exciting end to it which masked that fact that neither side can kick a ball to save their lives when you compare them to Dundalk FC.I thought Mayo deserved it and was delighted they got a replay, i'd fancy them the next day it must be said at the prices although you have to be realistic and think the Dubs will never play as poorly again. No issues getting a ticket the next day. so no crying on here girls. Just a final note if i may, lets hope for a much improved game the next day with a bit of skills added to the bluster.

Unbelievable occasion yesterday , thousands of Dublin fans around Croke park looking for tickets with no hope. Dont think it will be any easier for replay , hopefully better conditions.

How the hell was MDM not sent off - took a mans legs from behind in the 1st half and near decapitated O'Connor from behind in the second. He must pictures of every ref in the country in brothels

mayo man i was at the match and there were a few on both sides who were less than innocent of similar things..he was the worst but there were a few v close!! ..

I think there were 2 mayo could defo have gone in the second half but the ref had set out his stall after the MDM trip on Keegan - he was keeping the black in the pocket - McCarthy wouldn't have gone if it was down to the ref - my point on MDM is just that he is a dirty b'stard - and how refs keep turning a blind eye to him is baffling

A dirty b'tard with 3 All Ireland medals and an All Ireland club.At least he does it on the pitch not the sleeven way in the tunnel before the game.

mayo have never had the forwards to win the big one. feel sorry for their defence who were excellent. not many teams could go with dublin for nearly 240 minutes and come a point short with all their mistakes own goals etc. decision to swap all star favorite clarke with hennelly who has had howlers before - including the loss to galway this year - was baffling. can't blame the player he tries his best but time and time again he's exposed as unreliable. did the same last year against the dubs this year was bonkers - gets keegan the blackcard and can't catch a simple ball then compunds the error by pulling down the dub after the dub player spills the ball! not sure exactly what rochford was thinking....maybe it is the o sheas who are calling the shots?
in any event it is no surprise mayo keep finishing short in these finals or semi finals - they simply haven't the quality in the forwards to put the ball over the bar. that's two years in a row they should have put that dublin team to bed instead the same old crap about the curse of 51 etc. so many games left behind by not converting. feel sorry for the defence they were so disciplined. shame about the other half of the pitch. credit to the dubs they know how to get it done. they are winners. |
