Replying To JohnnyFox19: "Closed fist take my backside. He punched him straight in the ribs....clear as day in the replay. If every player was allowed to do that there wouldn't be a player left on the pitch by the end of the game with broken/bruised ribs. It wasn't a tackle, it was a clear punch. Red card end of." It's exactly what I said it was. That's what a punch in the ribs when you have the ball and are meeting a tackler that won't be able to stand you up is called - closed fist tackle. If the hand is open, the game isn't even stopped. If it's closed it's called a closed fist tackle and is a free or yellow card depending on ref interpretation. As I said, if you don't know that then you just don't know Galway? Ha wicklu (Wicklow) - Posts: 331 - 01/09/2019 20:26:21 2231494 Link
What a great game. Kerry were excellent and I expected nothing less but we have the most room for improvement. Some of our big guns were quiet enough so I expect to see a better performance all round. I think Cluxton had the game of his life and as for McCaffrey, just wow. O'Shea is a class act also. Bring it on again lads, great ad for the game, I can't wait! realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8591 - 01/09/2019 20:35:00 2231500 Link
Replying To Dmck19: "That's cause it's not a foul by the rules" I would expect a Kerry fan after winning so many All Ireland's to know the rules . Go read Rule 5.6 of the GAA Football Rules. It's quite clear in fact it states in an earlier rule that the ball must be flicked away with the open hand. These aren't my rules they're in the rule book. Go have a quick read then come back with a retraction. This goes for everyone else that has said a tackle with the closed fist isn't a free. Rule book is on line read it. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 01/09/2019 20:40:40 2231503 Link
I personally would like too see the replay down in Thurles. But unfortunately GAA have Corporate boxes and seats reserved for finals. Surely though a semi final could be held outside of Dublin, say Thurles or Clones. And the corporates given vouchers for compensation. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2519 - 01/09/2019 20:42:50 2231505 Link

Replying To baire: "The one thing we learned today, if Mayo had forwards of the calibre of Kerry's, they would have beaten Dublin at least once." Eh? a number of Kerry forwards did perform today. When watching back on that game today do you think the likes of Clifford,O'Brien and Geaney will be happy with their scoring return?

Replying To wicklu: "That's not a red card. It's a closed fist tackle. That's all it has ever been called...ever by every ref. Given them and received them for years, watched them given out all across many times. It's not my name for it - a closed fist tackle - it's in the rule book. If you don't know that, then you don't know. Simple as that. Don't bring it up again... you're wrong" You need to apologize to JohnnyFox it is in the rule book Rule 5.6 of the Official Football rules. There's no such thing as a legal closed fist tackle. It isn't a card of any sort for the first but it is after that. Go have a read the rules are online cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 01/09/2019 20:46:26 2231511 Link

Replying To ThyKingdomComeThyWillBeDone: "Mayo have a lot of bitterness after all the hammerings and then the 2014 SF Thankfully their bandwagon has driven them back to the house of pain They had their chances. They blew it" Funny...that is exactly what Kerry have done today...had their chance...with Dublin a man down, their best players not performing AND Gough in their pocket and they blew it. lilylanger (Kildare) - Posts: 758 - 01/09/2019 20:47:02 2231513 Link

Replying To Brinsley Swartz: "Have Kerry ever lost an All Ireland final replay.?" off the top of my head they lost the 1972 final to Offaly. The_analyser (Roscommon) - Posts: 3755 - 01/09/2019 20:50:58 2231515 Link
Replying To ThyKingdomComeThyWillBeDone: "Mayo have a lot of bitterness after all the hammerings and then the 2014 SF Thankfully their bandwagon has driven them back to the house of pain They had their chances. They blew it" O dear you sound upset. Kerry choked today, extra man for more than half the match & couldn't finish the Dubs off. Mayo were never handed a opportunity like that. So I guess I can understand your bitterness. Good luck in the replay. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 01/09/2019 20:51:19 2231516 Link
Replying To boman11: "Young Clifford tortured Cooper from the get go, cooper could not handle him whatsoever, he started shaky with a few misses which he will score the next day ive mo doubt. Dubs best defender on him but with great use of his body and making sneaky and non stop runs all day it turned out tonne not much of a match up, shows the intelligence of this young fella again.. What a player he is going to Be Sean OShea aswell, absolutely incredible and top top notch composure. These 2 young lads are going to be giants in Gaelic football, fair play to them today" No one can argue he was in any way able to handle Clifford, aside from the 2 yellows if you watched sky who properly analysed the game (even with a dub and a Kerry man there) he was warned 3 other times about his persistent fouling. They also all agreed the second yellow was correct galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 01/09/2019 20:51:28 2231517 Link

Take McCaffrey out of today's game dublin would have lost. Take o shea out of today's game kerry would have lost. Can't say that about any other player on either team (I think comerford is actually a fantastic goalie so that's the only reason I wouldn't include cluxton) galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 01/09/2019 20:54:45 2231519 Link
Replying To Spoddgy: "Even with the forwards we have we had the beating of them." The record, sadly, says otherwise my friend. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 01/09/2019 20:59:29 2231524 Link
Replying To galwayfball: "Dear god The ball cant be split into fifths. It would have hit the post if that was the case. I'm actually not doubting Hawkeye just how it looked on the hawkeye replay. Sorry I cant get over the fact you said 4/5ths of the ball was inside the post and 1/5th was outside as if this could happen in real life" That's what the official announcement was. That all the ball wasn't in. Remedy it was given by umpires and ref only the tv officials called it to bring refs attention to it. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 01/09/2019 21:01:04 2231525 Link

Cluxton's two saves could very well prove be the difference in winning the 5 in a row. mhunicean_abu (Monaghan) - Posts: 1044 - 01/09/2019 21:07:59 2231527 Link

Congrats to the Cork minors by the way. What a pulsating minor game, and while I'm obviously disappointed for our lads, the spirit shown by Cork was inspirational. Between both games, football finally got a day worth talking about for all the right reasons. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 01/09/2019 21:42:03 2231555 Link
