where ODonohhue pushed over Barret and got away with it thanks to the ref could have cost Mayo the match centerfield (Mayo) - Posts: 360 - 21/08/2017 21:57:35 2036202 Link
People miss the key point with Mayo in these big games. Mayo concede too many goals until that's rectified then there never going to get over the line. when you score 2-14 you should be able to win centerfield (Mayo) - Posts: 360 - 21/08/2017 22:18:43 2036206 Link
Replying To ponga: "A lot of talk about cards, sledging and so on but the big decision was not to award a penalty to Mayo in the 1st half." Well the balanced itself out against the 8/9 steps Boyle took for his goal. The ref did his best in atrocious conditions. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 21/08/2017 22:24:11 2036208 Link
Replying To ponga: "A lot of talk about cards, sledging and so on but the big decision was not to award a penalty to Mayo in the 1st half." That should have been a free out for square ball against Cillian O'Connor and the point disallowed. poley (Kerry) - Posts: 5 - 21/08/2017 22:43:45 2036214 Link
Replying To mayo_123: "tunnel vision is awful lad you must not have seen any kerry lads at it watch game again and reply I am not biased but they were all at it and if it was ref right there should have been 2 or 3 black cards and that includes mayo" If you check back the posts you'll see i did mention both teams were at it but if they're at it the next day gough will catch them both. Also gough will have to call Mayo up on the amount of steps they take, if right was right we should have won yesterday's game 2:14 to 0:13 as mayo scored 2:01 from over carrying.

Replying To GreenandRed: "Maybe Vaughan or Harrison on Donaghy. Neither Seamus or Aidan are defenders and they're certainly not fullbacks. We need to try and stop the supply into Donaghy which is easier said than done. Use a sweeper to double team him when he has got it. Even the best fullbacks in the land have struggled to mark Donaghy. Uses all his experience smartly and if not getting scores he occupies the minds of our defenders and it creates a bit of space for his teammates. And his teammates will want to do us serious damage next Saturday." I wouldn't be surprised to see both teams use 'sweepers' the next day. A sweeper would have cut out the low ball to Donaghy the last day with AOS dealing with the high deliveries. Likewise a sweeper would have protected the Kerry full-back line. I would not be surprised to see AOS played on Donaghy again on Saturday. Maher and Cullothy, for Kerry, and D O'Connor for Mayo, could be under pressure for their places on Saturday. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 21/08/2017 23:22:01 2036230 Link
Mayo supporters barracked and booed the Kerry freetakers and cheered Kerry wides throughout the game - appalling behaviour from a county which has (had?) a sporting reputation. Can anyone explain this transformation? I would hope that the Mayo County Board - taking a leaf out of Roscommon's book - will appeal to Mayo supporters to refrain from such behaviour.

Replying To Pericles: "Dublin scored 9 points in the first final last year, 6 from play. A waltz through Leinster is not a guide to future performance. Can't comment on Tyrone, but I give them a chance on Sunday assuming they don't play McCurry in their fb line:) Might still be a novel final this year, who knows." I hope so but on yesterday's evidence the Kerry full back line would be torn to shreads by Dublin. And much as i hate to say it Mayo still don't know how to win the big game. People used say they lacked forward power etc. It's not that, they have great players all over the field but just don't go for the jugular. It was another example of a game they were the better team and didn't win. I'm frustrated and i'm from Laois i can't imagine how Mayo people like yourself feel. They are smashing players, totally committed but would they just drive over the line and treat Kerry with absolute contempt the next day.

Great game on sunday. Mayo gave to many soft frees away in the first half that kerry got scores off . That kept kerry in the game. Mayo also struggled with there own kick outs. Saying that mayo should have won. Kerry struggled. I think mayos problem is they are not ruthless enough on the score board. They went 3 pts up early in the second half and didnt push on. Barrett keegan durcan all had chances for scores and didnt take them. Thats why dublin are the champions because they are so ruthless even if there 10pts up there looking for the nxt score. Keegan got a knee in the back late on so dont know if he will be fit for the nxt day. Think kerry needed the extra match more than mayo. So i think kerry will win the replay Mattyreilly (Westmeath) - Posts: 153 - 22/08/2017 01:55:31 2036247 Link

Kerry fans on the hill managed to get beer bottles in past the stewards and on 2 occasions these bottles were thrown at Mayo fans standing about 10 rows below. There's an element of this sort of thing among a few counties. It's probably the first I've seen from Kerry fans but come up to Ulster and you'll see this from a few counties' "supporters". cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5010 - 22/08/2017 07:30:27 2036257 Link

I think if you look back you will find a huge number of instances from both sides where the ball was overcarried. The problem here is that no ref seems to want to pull players for this - almost every game there are at least 20 examples of players taking too many steps. Expect this to continue until this is clamped down on across the board. razor425 (Roscommon) - Posts: 45 - 22/08/2017 08:05:48 2036265 Link

Wouldn't expect that from Mayo.We are absolute gentlemen in Roscommon.! endgame (Roscommon) - Posts: 2154 - 22/08/2017 08:06:40 2036266 Link
Hard to know who changes tactics the next day Mayos plan was Aidan full back for high balls and higgins to sweep infront so that would have helped cut out some of the low balls that went into Donaghy but Kerry pushed a lad up onto Higgins. That worked for kerry up front but left there defence open and Mayo had great joy with the space.. So who changes the next day or do they go again witb same tactics.. tommy132 (Mayo) - Posts: 600 - 22/08/2017 08:26:49 2036268 Link
Replying To ponga: "A lot of talk about cards, sledging and so on but the big decision was not to award a penalty to Mayo in the 1st half." The decision was also not to black card Vaughan for a blatant hand trip but you bury your head in the sand. Mayo have 15 angels on the field at all times, apparently.

Mark Griffin should have also conceded a penalty for handling inside the square and several Kerry frees were of the soft variety. Just while we're being selective...
