Looking forward to Monday, hopefully will be clear conditions and itll be a good clean exciting game. Have my worries about the honest endeavor that will be on show though. No doubt Lee Keegan and his merry bunch of men will continue to pull and drag lads down once hes out of referee eyesight (won't matter about the umpires as they do nothing) Tis a sad way where the state of the game has gone to - be cyncial or die trying. You'd have to think what the previous greats of the game would make of all the skullduggery going on with Mayo. I wonder if we boo a decision that is missed will there be a national outcry as there was for Saint Andy Moran last week? I somehow doubt it. Onwards and upwards anyway and may the best honest team win OverBlackSpot (Roscommon) - Posts: 47 - 04/08/2017 15:32:41 2028977 Link

Every single top team is. The way you ae going on though you would swear that the Mayo lads were up on top of the Roscommon lads forcing them to give them jockey backs. I haven't come across any neutral observers noting that there was ridiculous over the top pulling and dragging being done by Mayo nor did I hear any complaints from Roscommon fans during the game on Sunday. As for the lads of yesteryear, well we all have a habit a looking at the past with nostalgia but when you see of the games from 20+ years ago it wasn't pulling and dragging, it was lads knocking the absolute living hell out of each other, properly dangerous stuff. the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 495 - 04/08/2017 17:27:47 2029032 Link

Any inter county team that is any bit successful will do a certain amount of pulling and dragging that's every county team every inter county defender. Remember your not vinny murphy or Charlie Redmond you don't have a slot on a local or national radio to try sway a referee. Of course it's the big bad Mayo that are the only team in Ireland that do anything that resembles the 'black arts' according to some posters on here. We haven't won any all Ireland's lately so in my opinion we aren't doing enough pulling and dragging! Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 05/08/2017 12:39:14 2029246 Link

If you don't learn to pull and drag smart you won't win anything. What do you think Roscommon are doing better this year.we are far more cynical. I often come against fast young lads and pull and tug at their jerseys the whole game. It's hilarious to hear them whinge and they totally lose focus on their game.the ones that ignore you, show for ball and burn you with pace following with scores are the real footballers. Stop whinging about mayo.although I do think cillian o conor is a dirty player.keegan is class and our own backs are improving at an amazing rate Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 519 - 05/08/2017 14:36:32 2029279 Link
Rossies need a good start again. A quick fire couple of points or a goal. Mayo will come back at them otherwise. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 05/08/2017 15:06:07 2029286 Link
Looks like it's up to Mayo and Roscommon to provide some entertainment again as the two quarters today have been bore fests. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11232 - 05/08/2017 19:09:31 2029387 Link

Lol spodggy glad to think you rate me so highly as to have my thoughts all over national media, it's great to have a fan club I guess! Forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought the while argument brought forward for bringing in the black card was to stop cynical play but referee didn't implement that on both teams last week? Seems to be just thrown in for whenever anyone is stopped for a goal chance and that's it. What's next a brown card for anybody fouling in their own 30 yard line consistently? Not too surprising Lee Keegan is starting midfield for mayo in lineup yet sportsjoe.ie has this as some sort of "bold move". Right decision by them but any auld eejit would see that's where he was most effective. The dark arts force is with him that's for sure!

This replay on Monday will be decided on how Roscommon play, if similar to last Sunday this game could take extra time to separate the two if Roscommon drop a few levels then Mayo could well win by a few points to spare.

Replying To yew_tree: "Decided on how Roacommonnplay only? It takes two to tango mate" The replay isn't a dance competition. Mayo won't play much different its a consistent level under Rochford at this stage while its not known yet if Roscommon can give another competitive performance.

What eejet within the GAA decided to have this game at 2pm, they expect both sets of fans to travel on dirt tracks until we get to Mullingar before we see a motorway, I heard from someone in Belmullet that they left at 6am for a 2pm game, last week they left at 8am for the 4pm game, why wasn't this game at 3pm, at least it would give fans a reasonable chance to leave at a decent time instead of now driving and still tired, the trains ticket prices are daylight robbery riverboys (Mayo) - Posts: 1389 - 07/08/2017 08:06:21 2030075 Link
Let's hope this quarter final represents the only competitive game in the 4 football games - I believe it will be a tight one I hope. Bar the hurling semi this weekend which was great - the 2 footie quarters have been massively disappointing and shows that football in general is made up of the top 3 or 4 and then all the rest and the super 8s won't change that!
