Replying To Vishred: "Money doesnt create teams of this intensity, You either have it, or you dont." Very true Although what's your point? jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20608 - 20/08/2017 18:45:27 2035665 Link
We live to fight another day, hopefully can't be as bad again. A dry ball now next Saturday and we might pull through. Up D Kingdom TheHermit (Kerry) - Posts: 6354 - 20/08/2017 18:46:02 2035666 Link
Replying To jimbodub: "Deegan should have added a little more time no? Cracking game Replay next Saturday at CP" Two more minutes with subs & injury should have been added, he bottled it, didn't want grief by letting one team winning it at the death. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 20/08/2017 18:48:34 2035667 Link
Replying To gotmilk: "Last time Kerry and Mayo played in an all ireland semi final the game went to a replay. I had a wedding the day of the replay. Kerry and Mayo play each other again in a semi final. Again it finishes in a draw. Guess where Gotmilk is going to be on Saturday??? Another wedding." Limerick??

Replying To kevinmayo: "great game. mayo gave away alot of stupid frees. will be a cracker next saturday. why didnt rochford bring on nally could have good for a point" Didn't you think Mayo had to work harder for frees - I thought Kerry got their frees a lot easier.

Replying To cluichethar: "I think it was Johnny Buckley that skid in knees first into Lee Keegan Surely to God that should have been at least a yellow card It was compleatly reckless" Vaughan should of walked for ankle tap in first half. He didn't. Swings n roundabouts. Hugely entertaining game in awful conditions. I wonder will the 6 day turn around catch Mayo on their 9th championship outing. They have got to feel it. I thought it was there for them for taking. Kerry on the other hand needed a game like that to get them back up to speed. Conditions can't be as bad again, can they? What a weekend of football to look forward to next week A Aido69 (Dublin) - Posts: 381 - 20/08/2017 18:53:54 2035671 Link
Cracking game in fairness and more money for GAA. Neither side would strike fear in Tyrone or Dublin. Kerry to shade replay. catch22 (USA) - Posts: 2148 - 20/08/2017 18:56:42 2035672 Link
Great game played in poor conditions. Some great points. One thing though. I felt Deegan was too whistle happy and had a poor game. He just wouldn't let the game flow. Too many soft frees given to both sides. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 20/08/2017 18:56:46 2035673 Link

Great game. Fancy Mayo for the replay, Keegan and AOS had little impact today, can't see that happening next week. if Mayo are so worried about the high ball into Donaghy, would it not be better put the order O Shea on him to disrupt. Had AOS been further forward today, that full back line of Kerry's would have been further exploited. mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1045 - 20/08/2017 19:09:35 2035676 Link
Replying To realdub: "Either that or he wanted a draw :D" A draw is fair.I won't complain.Let the best team win next Saturday. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2185 - 20/08/2017 19:11:19 2035678 Link
Replying To moc.dna: "Two more minutes with subs & injury should have been added, he bottled it, didn't want grief by letting one team winning it at the death." If Sheehans free goes over he plays on but it didn't and I'm happy he blew it up. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 20/08/2017 19:20:40 2035683 Link

As a neutral, I thoroughly enjoyed the game. However, I thought Maurice Deegan was very hard on Mayo - akin to Cormac Reilly in the 2014 replay!! Looking forward to the replay, though - a feast of football in Dublin next weekend! football first (None) - Posts: 1259 - 20/08/2017 19:36:09 2035691 Link

What a weekend of football to look forward to next week A" I think you're missing the point I was trying to make It was a reckless challenge that was rewarded with a free to Kerry Yes an ankle tap is a black card Didn't see it might have been in 1 of the numerous GAAGO hiccups But a challenge like that is Not swings and roundabouts cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 20/08/2017 19:37:13 2035692 Link
Exciting game of football yes but to say it was a great game is way off the mark. Let's not confuse exciting with great. Two distinctly average teams who served up an exciting team but the overall standard of football was poor enough. Lifford Gael (Donegal) - Posts: 1925 - 20/08/2017 19:40:41 2035696 Link

Two distinctly average teams who served up an exciting team but the overall standard of football was poor enough." Mayo are better than Kerry I think and certainly were today.An average enough Kerry team very reliant on Donaghy and with a really weak full back line.Hard to call the replay.Kerry will improve but can't see there being much in it.Perhaps extra time like 2014. endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2185 - 20/08/2017 19:47:23 2035698 Link
Replying To Vishred: "chance gone kerry dont lose replays :/" Kerry win more matches/replays than they lose ... fact ! They lost replays in Munster semi final to Cork (2002), a Munster final to Cork (1987) and an All Ireland to Offaly (1972) so they are due to lose one any time soon. After such a close game both teams will regret scores that got away. David Clarke's brave save stopped a certain 3rd Kerry goal and the kingdom missed 3-4 points from good positions. Mayo missed their first close in free from 20m off the post and were unlucky not to get another first half goal with three close in chances in the same attack. Both Kerry goals came from Mayo kicking possession away and Mayo had a justifiable claim for a throw ball when Jack Savage got booked for retaliation but the free was allowed and Kerry converted. Looking forward to another great contest next Saturday. Curlew66 (Roscommon) - Posts: 507 - 20/08/2017 19:50:24 2035699 Link

Conditions were very difficult today leading to some mistakes, Nothing average about those teams though, Hope next week end is dry for both games.
