No complaints here. Although what I would say is that after 11 mins of that match, Mayo should have had 3 men off the field of play..

1 - Aidan O'Shea pull down on Cluxton - black card

2 - Drake's, Cavanagh style, pull down of Flynn - black card

3 - O'Connor's 10 stitches on ROC - dangerous play, red card

All within the first 11 mins. So if you want to look at individual instances, Mayo should have been without their 2 most attacking threats after 11 mins.

Anyway, all water under the bridge at this point. Saturday should be interesting.

The Dubs bring a lot to the GAA but since they won a few titles again many of their fans have adapted an arrogance and dismissive attitude towards others, that is indisputable. There seems to be an air of "We're Dublin, we have the right to win and the decisions have to go our way all the time". When Fermanagh played Dublin a few weeks back some of the abuse they got online was bang out of order. Fermanagh were attacked for having the audacity to give Dublin a game. A lot of it was just downright nasty. Some Dubs really need to wise up.

Bad.monkey: you need to go to confession after fitting all those lies into one post.

O'Shea barely flinched when Mcmahon threw his lovely barnett at him.

Up Donegal!
If Mayo don't win Sam I really hope Donegal do.

Time to move on lads. Lets all shake hands at the final whistle on Saturday and may the best team win.

1779631 Seriously. A goal from a penalty that should have been a free. A point after a guy double hops the ball. 4 red card offences and only one guy getting the line in injury time, and you come out with a draw. If mayo get the same 'treatment' from the ref on Saturday I'll be a happy man.

So why all this crying about being hard done by? I came out of croke park with a lot of respect for the majority of the Dublin players. They fought hard, never gave in, made us work for everything. I was thinking, with the Kerry lads looking so smug on the other side of the draw, if Dublin beat us I hope they win it. Then we get this raft of garbage from their fans - completely biased rubbish, and it just puts you off them completely.

Are you honestly saying 1 you expected anything different ?
2 You have examples from Hoganstand were fans don't get defensive ?
This site is the most blatantly obvious biased site going , are you honestly saying come a Tyrone game you cant predict the reactions on here from their supporters ?
Dubs are no different to anyone else Mayo included .
In the clubs and pubs you will get more face to face honesty than your likely to get on HS Im just surprised your surprised .

The tackle by Drake was a pull back on Flynns and nothing to do with legs. Quite clear to see. So could have been a free. But a definite black card.

Re Kevin Mac no where near the corner and he first goes past the Mayo player just inside the 20 metre line. Bounce one is fouled on the 13 metre hand raised from ref then bounce and score.

Mayo penalty Boyle quite clearly already diving into group of Dublin players so yes he going to come into contact.

If you have the match recorded then please go back and look as Cian O' Sullivan toe pokes the ball to Alan Brogan, Duran shoulders Cian straight in the chest body check and next Alan Brogan bundled over through his back go the ground. Two clear frees and none given and Cian still lying down after the body check.

Really...any examples to back that up or just another outrageous over the top comment from Ulsterman??

Dublin getting slated from all angles of the media, natural plenty of fans will come out fighting.

Personally I think we were very sloppy in the tackle and will have to improve that for Saturday.

Cooper's one is a difficult one to judge, I am not sure he extended his leg out but he also did not take the foot out either..

I don't think either penalties were correct calls..

Dublin probably got punished a little more for the silly stuff that went on, Mayo were a little cuter in how they went on about it.

I am guessing Bastick prob did purposely trip up Barry Moran considering how he did not protest at all.

I think both teams got some favourable decisions on the day...

Difficult match to referee by all accounts, I would imagine both sides will go for it on Saturday

Bubba, you make my point perfectly. You immediately go into denial and defensive mode. Well without naming the websites I would steer you to several of the more prominent Dublin GAA Forums and ask you to look at the comments under the Dublin/Fermanagh threads. I have read a few of them and they aren't pleasant.

1779784 I think it is more than obvious to any neural supporter that the majority of calls went in Dublins favour. I can never understand why supporter's just dont call a spade a spade
Don't know what game you were watching?

a soft free on keegan seriously
keegan for starters should have had a black card for pulling connolly down.
bastick and mccauley should never have been black carded.
why wasnt the mayo defender black carded for pulling down flynn for the dublin penalty?
cillian o connor struck rory o carroll
cillian o connor struck connolly and escaped both times without a card.
aidan o shea pulled mcmahon in for the so called head butt that never was yet went running to papers whinging.
alan brogan was clearly pushed in the back along cusack stand sideline and nothing given
thirty seconds later mayo were awarded a penalty for less.
Aidan O'Shea got away scot-free with a throw ball in the lead-up to Diarmuid O'Connor's point
Andy Moran took 10 steps in the 63rd minute before scoring.
O'Shea threw another ball in the 71st minute which again went unnoticed.
so listing all things dublin did wrong in the game yet clearly closing your eyes to this
really makes starting a thread like this look silly.

So you made an accusation, I asked you to back it up...hardly denial and defensive mode is it?

I'm pretty sure Mayo had a thread like this last year we beat last year fair and square. all we heard was Cormax Reilly this....

I am going to be totally honest from a neutral point of view on Sundays game which i really enjoyed. I thought it was a pulsating, highly energetic and exciting game between 2 very good teams.

1. Aidan O Shea was very lucky not to get a black card for his tackle on Cluxton...I do not agree with the black card but by the letter of the law it was a black card.
2. The Dublin penalty should of been a free which was clear to see. Could not believe the commentators didn't even mention it. Again a possible black card for a trip but would of been harsh because i think the trip was accidental.
3. O shea was pulled down...should of been a peano.
4. How did Jack Cooper get away with just a yellow. Could of and should of been a red.
5. MDM black card was deserved as he made a rugby tackle....however i feel as though Bastick was unlucky to get one.
6. Philly McMahon should of been sent off for a clear attempt to head butt O Shea but in fairness to O Shea he made nothing of it.
7. The penalty which Mayo got was a correct call as Philly McMahon stuck out his leg. and also had his hand on his back.
8. I know Connolly throw a punch but Keegan was just as guilty. I think a yellow card for both was enough. I really think if one went so should the other, Dublin should feel aggrieved there.

Finally i think the game was brilliant...I enjoyed every second of it, In fact both semi finals have been entertaining from a neutral point of view. I really couldn't call who will win the replay or win Sam. All 3 teams are very similar. Also i hope Connolly plays. Players like him are a joy to watch. Now lads stop fighting and just look forward to the replay.

What would be the point of the forum if fans couldn't complain lol.

On a serious note, reading all this stuff, it just seems to depend on your opinion concerning some of the decision. For example, I thought it was clear cut that the Dublin penalty should have been a free outside the box but then Paul Early says the main contact took place inside the box and it was correct that a penalty was awarded - what hope has the referee.

The sooner the replay comes around the better.

deluded dub fabs on board. cian o sullivan should have got black card in 1st and second half. red card for mc mahon headbutt and feigning injury. Roll on Saturday

can we all please stop saying McMahon headbutted AOS...he did 100% not headbutt him..

He also did not intend to as there is a video which clearly shows AOS pulling him by the collar into him..

Other than that, what has happened has happened.. we have a replay coming and let's just concentrate on that..

I do not see Connolly getting off as the CCCC have to start maintaining bans at some stage and we cannot see another situation like Keane getting off for his strike on Murphy..

2. The Dublin penalty should of been a free which was clear to see. Could not believe the commentators didn't even mention it. Again a possible black card for a trip but would of been harsh because i think the trip was accidental.

I was thinking the same thing myself.
I wouldnt blame the ref for not seeing it as he was a good distance behind the play with 4 or 5 players blocking his view.

Ger Canning and Dessie Dolan were shown about 5 or 6 replays which clearly showed the trip took place outside the box and not a word from the both of them. Is it not their job to spot such clear incidents.

Also they failed to even suggest a clear black card for the foul that took place.

Dolan kept referring to players on the Dublin team he has marked in the past and how much respect he has for every player and Canning was in cloud cuckoo land as usual.

To add salt to the wound the panel all agreed it was a peno until Spillane suggested for a second that it may have been outside the box but nothing more was said on the matter..sometimes i wonder what game these people are watching.
