Hey I'm just saying.....even your own supporters are also noting how he blew it up 30 seconds early. Reports just coming through now also that the ref has had to be escorted of the field due to some very irate Cork fans. People don't react like that unless they feel very very hard done by. It's unacceptable by the way to threaten match officials in this manner. It's also indicative of the idea that I'm not alone in thinking that the officiating definitely favoured Mayo. That's just my opinion and apparently the opinion of many Cork people also.

I don't know. I feel these games will bring the Mayo players in preparation for knock out games. I don't think Moran, Diarmuid O' Connor, Higgins have hit top form yet. The worst that can happen to them now is get a handy draw against Roscommon.

If it was 30 seconds short it has to be replayed

Have you not seen what I said about the added time It is unacceptable not to play the time displayed But on a while he was pretty fair A couple of called he and there From what you posted he was all for Mayo Which he certainly wasn't The Keegan incident proves it He seen the pull of the shirt and let it go

Sad to hear the Cork manager has stepped down

One of the biggest scandal's in years. Mayo will bring a massive crowd next week.

Did the ref really blow up 30 seconds early?

hey guys

Ciaran Branagan had to be accompanied by half a dozen gardai after the game there, hope if any cork players/officials who laid a hand and/or where aggressive toward him get retrospective 12 week bans :)

in all seriousness, not nice scenes but hope the lack of a last 30 seconds doesn't take away from the 90 minutes prior to that cause this game was brilliant from bpoth sides. fair dues

Will the replay be in Limerick or in Croke park before the Kerry v Galway game.

Wrong number was displayed would be my guess as to the excuse

Yeh I saw what you said about the time keeping, so that's one incident where you agree he favoured Mayo. It's just a matter of opinion anyway. If a ref has been seen to be fair overall by both sets of fans he usually doesn't need to be escorted off the pitch....just sayin man.

Replying To yew_tree:  "Heart attack stuff from Mayo again. 7 points up...cruising and like we always do sit back and allow the opposition onto us.

I feel sorry for Cork...they deserve better support. The Mackey Stand was absolutely rocking with Mayo fans and the crowd could have played a part in pushing Mayo over the line.

Love us or hate us...this Mayo team are not bottlers and never give up.

Very hard to see us win or even get to a final but we are still standing. Now for a big drink to cool down."
That's Cork. West Cork are the only football fans. The rest are hurling. I love both and will follow them both. Cork is hurling, however if you are from West Cork like I am,, it is all football. We are closer to Killarney than Cork. Anyway, that's enough about the Cork football/hurling decide. Well done Mayo.

Mayo were awful at the back but lads calling for a replay on here? Lol. Mayo actually had the ball going forward at the time I think? Didn't think ref was biased towards anyone. Cork first goal was one of the most blatant overcarries I have ever seen. So swings and roundabouts. Kerry or Dublin will murder Mayo unless we tighten up.

Where did he favor Mayo. A number of Mayo players were fouled going through and got nothing while at the other end frees were given to Cork. As i said all in all i thought he was fair some calls both ways. Can't wait to hear the excuse for the 28 seconds that wasn't played Even though i did think 3 minutes was a lot to add. My guess is they'll say wrong number was displayed.

Surely it's not such a baffling statement to make Flaker?

I mean.. IF the ref blew up early in a 1 point game

Surely you're being a wee bit OTT in your response there ?

I'd be saying the same if Mayo lost by a point with the ref mistakenly blowing up early

Perhaps take off the Mayo glasses and address it fairly no?

As I said I couldn't care less who won. And I'm not goin to spend my evening hashing out the whole game and every call given for or against each team. . I'm sure you've had the same feeling in the past in games were Mayo didn't come out on top. I know as a Tyrone fan I certainly have. It's just a gut feeling that on the whole one team had more sympathy from the ref than the other. I'm a Tyrone man. Ask the Cork people if you want a real passionate debate about it! Ask Eoin Cadogan and the other Cork players who very visible irate and on the other hand ask the Mayo lads why they seemed unfazed until the end about most of the refs calls.

Yes on current form they would, but Mayo have a habit of improving significantly when they get to Croke Park. Luckily you have avoided Kerry next Sunday as that would be too soon, but come the semi's I expect to see a different Mayo.

Unless of course Roscommon create another surprise next Sunday, it is hard to judge them on one game though.

Fair enough but all i asked was where he favored Mayo. I gave examples of where he favored Cork the biggest 1 been the Keegan incident. Also it's kinda what people do on here Has thing over. But what ever.

What a game, well done Cork, loads of positives to take from that and great to see them fly in the face of a lot of criticism.

Thought the officiating was poor and Mayo got a lot of favourable decisions.

Mayo half back line fell apart without Keegan and looked and looked vulnerable. Building up a head of steam now, though he'll of a lot of miles on the clock already this year. They never make it easy for themselves do they.
