https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/335746?" It doesn't matter who the ref is Mayo will always complain. Sure they are still going on about 1996 and 2014. If there were All Irelands given out for crying...
But I don't think Kerry or Clifford get frees any handier than others. In fact I'd say Clifford usually has to work harder for them as there are usually 3 or 4 players hanging out or him.

Replying To maroondiesel: "Mayo should have home advantage for NFL final, they won the league table.
The rugby should be in Croke Park, it would suit the place. GAA is the Give Away Advantages joke" If you top the league you should win the league, simple as that.

https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/335746?" He's talking rubbish. If, by some mad twist of fate, we won yesterday this would never have been mentioned. Buying frees and influencing refs is part of the game. Cillian was very good at it. Maybe we should get Cillian into the backroom team for the championship to improve our street smarts and dark arts. We were well beat yesterday and Kevin's comments make us look like sore losers, a week away from the championship.

https://hoganstand.com/Article/Index/335746?" Mcstay was 100% correct . Kerry and clifford get frees way to easily . The treatment Aido gets and gets nothing from the ref where as Clifford gets everything.
He's no angle either

Replying To jacktheboy: "Can anyone explain why Clifford gets frees in every game he plays while O Shea never gets a free." I'm a great admirer of David Clifford but recently he seems to be competing with his older brother when it comes to whingeing to referees. I didn't like him putting up two fingers to the referee early in yesterday's match, apparently to signify that it was the second foul by the Mayo defender. That's akin to soccer players giving the yellow card signal to the ref, for which they are supposed to be booked, and maybe this should apply to Gaelic football too.

Replying To ORIELMAN85: "Pointless debating with a someone that compares 2 different sports to washing teeth and eating dinner." I was being deliberately ludicrous just to show how ludicrous your simplistic comparison was in the first place.
If you prefer a sporting one -
Soccer has more registered players here than the GAA does. And when you consider that some GAA players are hurling only, the difference between number of registered soccer players and number of registered gaelic football players becomes even greater.
Does it therefore follow that soccer is more enjoyable than gaelic football?

and Clifford really disrespected the ref and got away with it, the yellow card was nothing.
Free should have been overturned and 50 M added

O'Connor's record of winning the league and All Ireland in same year is ominous." B team lol. 10-11 starters played.

Near the start of every new season, some club in Kerry always invites down a referee or two, and they usually target newly appointed ones or the less established ones, to explain the rules or new rules, mar yeah, to the club players. The refs are put up in fine accommodation, and afterwards are wined and dined, given tours of the Kingdom and invariably end up in Paidi O'Se's pub for the evening, where they rub shoulders with the likes of influential former Kerry players like Ogie Moran, Bomber Liston, John O'Keeffe or Jimmy Deenihan. This has been going on for donkeys' years.
The Kerry Co. Board or current players are never implicated in it, as it is clubs that issue the invites, ex-players who earwig these refs, and independent Kerry business that pay for it. Kerry Group used to be highly involved before they started sponsoring the county team.
So, in the white heat of a championship match who does Bilbo Baggins whistle down in favor of, Mayo where he got a big fat sweet f-all, or the Kingdom where he was welcomed and treated like royalty?

McStays dislike for Kerry or Curry as he say, is nothing new.
He was a great man to talk the talk on the Sunday Game but has yet to back it up in management. I'll give him credit however for actually putting his money where his mouth is and actually go into management.

All this talk about Clifford from Mayo supporters today certainly has a tinge of irony attached. Your "danger man" has been well looked after in the past.

It was an accidental final. The powers that be are to blame for that due to their ridiculous scheduling. Tough out on Mayo, Roscommon, Limerick and Wexford to have to play championship a week after league finals and for what is the fourth weekend in a row between Round 6, 7, finals and the start of the provincial championships.

Not long to go now before the big game. The more I think of it, the more daft it would have been to be playing in the league final yesterday. It would have been a recipe for disaster playing that so close to the Ulster Championship.
While I'm not getting ahead of myself by any means, I watched Monaghan on Saturday night. They could be awkward enough opponents in Clones should we beat Derry. They have some good players, and always play with an edge. Plus they have Beggan, who could be very dangerous with two pointers from frees.

There is a harsh reality to the league finals
Div 1 - Kerry have no game for 3 weeks and went hard for it - Mayo didnt go as hard as no player wanted to miss a championship match - it was obvious
Div 2 - Roscommon didnt push on and let the game get away from them - have a match next week
Div 3 - Both teams full throttle to the end
Div 4 - Neither team at full throttle as both are out next week - Wexford were a long way off their earlier form.
need to fix the league format and schedule. Having 21k in Croke Park for a double header is a poor show. There was more at Munster V Connacht in Castlebar
