I think the goals Mayo got came at the right time - first one a disastrous gave away of the ball by Tipp and indeed the done the same thing earlier but we're not punished for it. SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 21/08/2016 20:34:20 1904114 Link 0 |

Not sure who is going to ref the final this year but surely Coldrick & his umpires should be demoted after this display, they had a shocker. Kiely & his marker both dived headfirst for the ball & their legs got entwined, not s black card at all, as the red card wasnt either, Lee Keegan was given the get out of jail card all day. moc.dna (Galway) - Posts: 1212 - 21/08/2016 20:39:07 1904118 Link 0 |

After the Galway game I was pretty sure they'd still make it to the final but thought it would be reflected in their performances. It hasn't, they really need to pick it up. Tipp got confused with their short game, got messy and were unlucky for the second goal. realdub (Dublin) - Posts: 8596 - 21/08/2016 21:19:06 1904143 Link 3 |

Mayo still in need of a reliable free taker who can also convert 45s. May come back to haunt us in close game. liner (Mayo) - Posts: 756 - 21/08/2016 21:24:21 1904149 Link 0 |

Eeh, were you replying to me?? I said it was a text book example of what the black card is supposedly for and I never mentioned Lee Keegan, in fact I didn't even see what he did as I had to leave shortly after the black card to go to a club game benched (Tyrone) - Posts: 534 - 21/08/2016 21:31:30 1904156 Link 0 |

They played rubbish all year doesn't bode well for the final but they at least played better than Tyrone and even coughing up the chances late on that a Dublin Kerry and even a Tipperary would have made us pay for showed up Tyrone for what they were this year I mean how will you get anywhere without a decent free taker!

Actually says more about the current championship set up, that they got to a final without playing a div 1 team pal. Also we kept dubs to a respectable score until 50 mins with worst ic manager EVER , that has changed now, trust me mayo were cr*p today and will have to up their performance considerably to keep beating by dubs to less than double digits.

Did I say Mayo were good today? And as for your statement that if they don't improve they will be well beaten? Real Sherlock Holmes stuff there. Listen Mayo can do no right no matter what they do, as is being proven this year. Walk through Connacht and walk through their quarters and semis it doesn't matter people have a go at them. Struggle through the back door and still make the final, people still have a go, it's priceless.

And just to prove how bias people are against Mayo blabbing on about the ref. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7907 - 21/08/2016 21:59:22 1904178 Link 3 |

Would have to disagree, if he is in the top 2 refs on the country then we may give up. 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. browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 21/08/2016 22:09:28 1904183 Link 1 |

I think you'll be playing Kerry and that will be great motivation but the fullback line will be tested the the extreme. Tyrone are a young team who have done well this year and have more to learn, Mayo have to win the final as the idea of having to go again next year could be too much. I wish them all the best for the final and on the day against Tyrone they deserved the win however it is very clear that mayos performance this year is much lower than past years and they are not playing with confidence. Good luck but keep it real.

When did Dublin beat Kerry ? Jaysus you'd think id remember our 2016 semi final if you are talking about a Dublin v Mayo final. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 21/08/2016 22:16:09 1904190 Link 0 |

Standard of refeering has been poor but unfortunately nothing will be done about it. It will be even worse next yesr with the mark being briught in. Not sure about the black card I fail to see how the ref was sure it was deliberate, as the rule states it has to be deliberate. To me it looked like a tangling of legs. They showed the replay of the red card and it looked like a shoulder and all the commentators said it looked like a shoulder. If it was for a strike then he deserved to walk. kevin03 (Tyrone) - Posts: 276 - 21/08/2016 22:17:18 1904192 Link 0 |

Flaker no team is whiter than white, everyone of the major teams are at it including Mayo, some poor decisions against you today but finished the game well. There is no such thing as a sure thing in football so Mayo can really go for it no matter who they play and I for one will cheer you on.

Not long home as traffic was crazy. Huge support there today. Got over the line. Not a great display but if we beat Tipp by 20 would any credit have been given? Nah...the only credit worth salt is that is given to to the winners. We are huge underdogs make no mistake. Still on the day....anything can happen. Will be going east in 4 weeks with hope in my heart as always. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11236 - 21/08/2016 22:31:08 1904209 Link 2 |

All manly stuff Tipp were never gonna lie down. I'm glad we gave ye a game Tipp have been accused in the past to lying down to Kerry and Tyrone. I'm sure there's a valid reason why the Tipp player had the Mayo man by the throat!! Mayo in fairness gave plenty back and both teams got the rub of the green at times. I can see from a lot of social media Tipp GAA Pages the blinkers are on sum lads blaming the ref as usual. Yes an off day for the ref but Mayo got the crucial goals and when on top for 15 minutes the only time they were on top they scored 1-07 and to Tipp 0-01 and that won them the game. Best of luck in the final. WildPundit (Tipperary) - Posts: 1709 - 21/08/2016 22:35:56 1904210 Link 2 |

Poster after poster on here has been reading the tea leaves and predicting a hammering for Mayo after every round this summer. They've been wrong on each occasion but still come back with the same tired, overused ..........."if they play like this against Dublin or Kerry"...crap. An all Ireland final is a game that takes on a life of it's own and only an idiot would discount a team in it's 3rd final in 5 years. 6 semi finals and 3 finals in 6 years must surely garner some respect even from those on here who can't see past an average performance that achieved it's desired result. Peaking on the 3rd Sunday in September is far more important than looking glossy in February. I for one am happy where we're at and let Kerry and Dublin kick the s***e out of each other next week. ponga (Mayo) - Posts: 650 - 22/08/2016 00:48:57 1904239 Link 1 |
