Replying To Gammy_Knee: "hard luck tipp.....mayo really only had to go through the motions....never ever looked like they'd lose the game...." Hahaha. Mayo were pure crp. Dubs will annihilate them. royaldunne (Meath)* - Posts: 19449 - 21/08/2016 17:47:04 1903950 Link
If we play anything like the first twenty minutes today, then either of the other semi-finalists will hammer us out the gate. I don't what it is about Mayo this season, we can't string a seventy minute performance together at all. For all that, it's hard to take a lot of the commentary here seriously; Mayo won playing in second gear for most of the game. As for controversial reffing, the red card looked harsh, but the black was entirely merited. Gleebo (Mayo) - Posts: 2208 - 21/08/2016 18:03:58 1903962 Link
Replying To blacknamber: "Good 2 see da Meath posters criticising da ref. How's keegan still on da field-fouling constantly & the tipp red card for what? Mayo looked somewhat clueless-rochford looks to be taking things backwards in my opinion." Id rate coldrick as been in top two of res in country, only surpassed by Gough, however he had a bad day at the office today, missed a lot, also one does have to wonder how Tipp did not get at least one penalty. It happens to us all, ref had bad day, but he is human , he is still a top class ref, even though Tipp fans feel rightly aggrieved today royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 21/08/2016 18:07:02 1903963 Link
Well done Mayo. They're not playing well but they're in an All-Ireland Final again. People have been very quick to write this team off but they keep coming back. Previously Mayo have come into the All-Ireland Final having already put in their best performances. This year is different in that they haven't put in their big performance yet and to be fair to them they usually have at least one good showing in them. Those saying that the All-Ireland Final is next week should keep that in mind. If Mayo can perform to their ability in the final they can beat both Dublin and Kerry.

I'd have to agree that the ref was poor but not the difference. I for one was hoping Keegan wouldn't be sent off because he's such a poor tackler it was a bonus he was on quinlivan. Going against what most are saying I thought the red card was a deserved red and the black wasn't! I think kielys legs got tangled in oconnors. Yes he did have a slight pull on him but that didn't bring him down...he was brought down with an accidental trip. I could be wrong but would like to see it again tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 21/08/2016 18:20:05 1903976 Link
Replying To Pericles: "Totally don't agree. Black card all day long. Sorry for the guy, and would have been regardless of jersey. Keegan's not remotely comparable. About as unsatisfactory a victory as any supporter could experience. Will Mayo peak at all this year? Running out of games." No harm Pericles - how many times has keegan tackled high today and been involved in all sorts of personal fouls and he still stays on pitch and he did the same last day - but that young Tipp #6 dived in to get ball - yes it was a mistake but an honest one and after 8 mins Coldrick should have used common sense.

People saying the red favoured Mayo? Seriously? The black card was a black card was it not. Tipp got plenty of soft frees, red card harsh but please get a grip trying to say it was the red that swung it, cringy stuff. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 21/08/2016 18:20:29 1903978 Link
Now that was what I call lucky 2goals gifted second from 2 miskicks Goldrick not great inconsistent and the inconsistencies favoured Mayo Tipperary did themselves proud Like myself nice to see that there will be at least 6 Kerry's in exile on All Ireland Sunday 3 O Shea'sFenton Cian O Sullivan 50% of Bernard Brogan can't see Kerry beat Dublin and on today's showing Mayo will need to spend half of what remains of their preparation at Knock praying for a miracle I liked the Galway minor team all the skills one telling statistic in the first half Donegal had 112 hand passes to Galways 53 the shortest way between. 2 points is I believe still a straight line 37sowhat (Sligo) - Posts: 752 - 21/08/2016 18:22:27 1903980 Link

No one comes close to the standard or referring that Gough sets. Goldrick and Duffy as well have far more off days than they do good days. kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 21/08/2016 18:23:36 1903981 Link
Replying To Vishred: "Mayo are this .mayo are that, Fact is they are in the All-Ireland Final , . Barring the big 2 , it shows the standard of the rest of the teams in Ireland the fact that Mayo only needed to play in spells to dispatch them all. Some very bitter posting on here." Can't argue with you there pal Mayo won good or bad and only 70 minutes from landing the holy grail. Hope ye do it. There was a post earlier in the week that more respect should be paid to Tipp so it's about time everyone stood up and respected Mayo who were only beaten by the eventual champions in last couple of years. Like in 87 when Tipperary ended the famine in hurling hope the curse of 51 is laid to rest. Mayo deserve their day in the sun no disrespect to Kerry or Dublin. Let's hope they saved their best 70 minutes for the biggest Sunday in September!! WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 21/08/2016 18:49:03 1904012 Link
Replying To TheFlaker: "Mayo were poor again for long periods but it just shows how poor the championship is overall if they can stumble into a final. Not their fault. I'm 50/50 as to what will happen. In fairness we have looked awesome in other years on the way to a final and didn't win so who knows maybe they will click up front. They are there and that's all the matters. I'll be raising a glass from Germany tonight. On another note, Tommy Carr was an absolute joke throughout the game." Tommy would have a soft spot for Tipp. His brother Declan won two All Irelands with Tipp hurlers and his grandfather was the last surviving All Ireland Football Medallist from the 1920 team. I Incidentally I agree the ref was poor, and I am a Limerick man with no great gra for the Premier County Oldtourman (Limerick) - Posts: 4338 - 21/08/2016 19:16:22 1904041 Link
Replying To Cavan_Slasher: "So the All Ireland Final is next Sunday then, Dublin v Kerry. Should be a good match." It isn't the 1980's anymore Slasher, this 'rivalry' is a rivalry no longer such is the disparity in quality between the teams KYTitletown (Kerry) - Posts: 816 - 21/08/2016 19:28:13 1904055 Link

Tipp battled hard & a few things went against them but in no way did it decide the outcome. Mayo getting the rub of the green all year to be fair. Perhaps this is indeed their year. Should Dublin get to the final I will be overseas too. Hubbie not best pleased but i can't get out of it. I always said that if Mayo win the all Ireland I'd head west for the party however i think you would be even more insufferable than we were in 2011 so kinda glad I'll be away haha! Congrats on reaching the final! Not easily done. Jackeen (Dublin) - Posts: 4097 - 21/08/2016 19:34:44 1904062 Link
Semi-finals are all about winning. We've won enough semi-final classics over the years and ended up ultimately only with regrets in a final. I'll gladly take the reverse in 2016. This is how to win a semi-final, not being at your best, playing badly and still getting the job done. How often over the years have you seen teams look terrible in a semi-final but give the performance of their lives in a final? It's been a regular feature of All Ireland winners over many years. I'm absolutely certain now that Mayo will give their best performance of the year in the All Ireland final. Will it be good enough? Time will tell.

The worst thing for Mayo would have been if they'd have had to play well to beat Tipp. Stop talking up Tipp's performance, they were game enough, but made loads of silly mistakes and if any other team had played as badly as Tipp, they'd be slated. Reality is they never looked like winning it and Mayo beat them playing a mere 10 minutes of good football. And Tipp got some pretty handy frees too. Mayo were always going to struggle against a new team like Tipp - with the best will in the world, they were never likely to be up for that game. They'll play much better in the final; their big concern is a lack of pace if it's Dublin they're facing. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 21/08/2016 19:42:08 1904070 Link
Unlucky tipp today..gave it their all.looking at mayo today if they face us in the final they'd wanna up their game big time because if they go asleep like that against dublin we'll eat them alive.respect to tipperary i hope they learn from today and come back next year stronger as their a good footballing side and ive enjoyed watching them this year.

As a Connacht team supporter, I would like Mayo to win. I would also like to see Mayo play the Dubs in the final- not Kerry. galwayford (Galway) - Posts: 2520 - 21/08/2016 19:58:52 1904088 Link

Goldrick and Duffy as well have far more off days than they do good days." Gough. . .? Jesus wept! He is the very definition of inconsistent. Wait until next Sunday when he gets rapturous praise from rte for letting the game flow then gives a free for the exact same thing he let go 2 minutes earlier. The standard of refereeing has been worse this year that in any year I can remember. Deegan is the best of a bad lot right now. For what it's worth, Coldrick had a poor game but was spot on with the black card and I've been told by someone who was at the game that kev Mac was punched in the crown jewels for the red. If so, correct decision obviously. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5016 - 21/08/2016 20:03:52 1904090 Link

I mean everything they touched turned to gold against Tyrone, alot of players who don't show up on alot of big days showed up for them in the quarter final. It's a lovely unsubtle way to undermine Tyrone by saying Mayo are playing in 2nd all year. O Shea played his best game against Tyrone, O Connor played his best game against Tyrone, Lee Keegan played his best game against Tyrone, most Mayo players who have really turned up this season did in fact, the exceptional being Diarmuid O Connor! They played their final against Tyrone and barely won, I might get berated now but in 4 weeks time it'll prove to be true....what would Kerry or Dublin do with the sheer number of turnovers they coughed up!?
