Great win for Dublin which I think cements them as the best Dublin team of all time. Commiserations to Mayo, put in a massive effort this year and fair play to them. Thought dubs were blessed the first day but better team won today. Black card needs to go and be replaced with a 5 minute sin bin, terrible to see players who give so much from both counties forced off the field needlessly Beepee (Dublin) - Posts: 17 - 01/10/2016 20:32:09 1921200 Link 0 |
Dublin do look a tired team.Full of quality of course but their star players were not at their best over the two games.If Dublin are to do three in a row,Jim Gavin who's a great Manager will have to rest players during the League and give lads like Cormac Costello a starting berth.Dublin have won 4 Leagues in a row but they need to take the foot off the gas for the League next Spring and recharge tired batteries and be ready for the Summer.

It didn't matter what goalkeeper Mayo played, Dublin would still have won. They missed a chance to bring it to extra time in the last minute with a free and got another extra minute after that also - not good enough and very unfair to blame the goalkeeper for the loss. ustream (Galway) - Posts: 66 - 01/10/2016 20:38:13 1921209 Link 3 |
a miserable, bitter sour donegal man who knows his county wont win an All-Ireland again

To be fair most people are pointing the finger at the manager for selecting the keeper for the replay. In a game between 2 very closely matched sides that really tipped the balance. The better team won today.

It's probably a sin to reply to yourself but Keegan proved my point today. A very poor tackler and can't play close to his own goal. Although the tackling in general today was surprisingly poor. Too many arms in and not enough effort to play the ball. I said during the summer that I couldn't understand the hype around diarmuid Oconnor and if I was to pick a young footballer I'd want in my team id pick Costello all day long. I was shot down by most! I'm still totally perplexed how diarmuid o'connor was picked today and even more confused how Costello can't seem to get a look in for last two seasons tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 01/10/2016 20:50:18 1921222 Link 0 |
Better like that. Its patronizing and should be done away with. As anyone on here will tell you I'm not cluxtons biggest fan, think he is hugely overrated, but on this I'm with him 100%

Get rid of the black card put 2 referees on the field and use the rules as they are written in the rule book end of story fieldman (USA) - Posts: 4 - 01/10/2016 21:10:18 1921230 Link 0 |

You don't need 2 referees. There are 6 officials along with the referee in any match. Consistency of application is the problem with the black card. I wonder will some of the senior Mayo players continue in 2017, and will Dublin go on to win 3 in a row? Referees do not lose games, teams do. The experiment with changing Mayo's keeper did not work, David large should have started the game, and I feel sorry for Rob Hennelly today. He had a bad day, he didn't go out to have a bad game. Finally, why name dummy teams for an All Ireland Final, it is the biggest day in a player's career. If a manager wants to make changes that should be included in the team announced prior to the final. thelongridge (Offaly) - Posts: 1746 - 01/10/2016 21:52:38 1921247 Link 0 |
If there is a problem with a point effort, Hawkeye notifies the ref, and he asks the said Hawkeye to confirm.

What are you on about? Dublin scored 0-4 as a direct result of Hennelly's kick outs. His blunder that led to the penalty would be inexcusable in an under 14 club match. Clark did nothing wrong when he came on. Rochford's decision to pick Hennelly was a reckless gamble that cost Mayo the game.

He said county first then corrected himself but he was right the first time. Obviously he should thank the supporters but he shouldn't of said that they don't because they don't have to

Yeah probably true, there will be a few retirements, need to start freshening up the panel. What struck me was the lack of confidence seeping into the forward line.

That should read David Clarke.

There really is nothing between the two team, both games could have gone either way. For me the big turning point was before the game started, Clarke getting dropped for Henelly. I actually think Henelly is a good keeper but it was madness starting him in a game of this magnitude. He cost about a goal and 4 points and was responsible for Keegan getting black carded.
