Very disappointing Mayo performance and we should demand more even its its "only" the league...big Mayo support there this evening and some fans are still on the road as I type this. No player goes out to play badly though so it was a bad day at the office...thought we would lay down a marker tonight but Dublin simply light years ahead of us... yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11540 - 23/02/2019 23:58:24 2167363 Link 4 |

We had 20 pages of this childish back-and-forth stuff in the Dublin-Kerry thread. This one's about a different match, so can we try to keep it on topic? Mayo have plenty work to do, as they well know, and as do most teams. Anyone trying to read too much into early league games, is wasting their time.

The first yellow card was the ridiculous one. He didn't even make the tackle and nothing from that passage of play warranted a yellow card.. even the free Kerry got in was very soft. Your words "Dublin's experience showed at the end and despite having an extra man it was Kerry who tired most they were clinging on. The red card was daft and probably cost Dublin the game." I'm hardly making excuses. It was a ridiculous and unjust red card to receive and as you said cost Dublin the game. The acre of space Kerry ran into simply wouldn't have been there. jimbodub (Dublin) - Posts: 20763 - 24/02/2019 05:46:49 2167383 Link 4 |

Dublin totally outplayed Mayo and wanted it more but the referee was disgraceful last night. Vishred (Mayo) - Posts: 303 - 24/02/2019 07:51:10 2167388 Link 1 |

I don't know about that. You're glasses are all green and red. I saw numerous cases of Mayo players taking too many steps and on no occasion were they punished for it. Some of them were like tankers turning, they took so many steps before playing the ball.

We always hammer Mayo in the league, two years ago with a way worst Dublin team out We bet them by a cricket score and we all know we just about got over the line in the '17 final, I'm not saying you're wrong but history would say you are. Mayo imo will be way better come the summer, remember they've been written off a million times the last 8 years and they always come back when you lease expect it, if they get a bit of momentum in the summer their very hard to stop. I've given him a lot of stick on here and so have a lot of posters but i must say Rob Hennelly was unbelievable last night every thing he did from kick outs to saves to long range frees was first class. Well done Rob Hennelly you were outstanding. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 24/02/2019 10:16:41 2167417 Link 4 |

Can the Kerry wum who left the main page two years ago cause he couldn't take it but is really the biggest wum on here go away and give it a rest you're getting really boring at this stage. clondalkindub (Dublin) - Posts: 9926 - 24/02/2019 10:20:22 2167419 Link 6 |

You got me Jim! On last nights game pretty routine win for Dublin, form is a funny thing this Mayo side hammered Tyrone not long ago. We have seen bad performances from them in the past and it hasn't mattered come championship but I honestly can't see how this team can put another championship run together. I hope I'm wrong. Dublin looked good but wasteful. You'd have to fancy them to make the final from here as I think they'll win out. GeniusGerry (Kerry) - Posts: 2113 - 24/02/2019 10:32:38 2167426 Link 4 |

Ignore and he'll go away. Keep feeding him and he'll stay. Simple.

Wayno, I wrote that on the way out from the game last night and while I'm not really revising my thoughts in terms of Mayo's chances later in the year, I'll readily admit I've never been able to figure out this group of players. Virtually every year in the league they have at least one game where they're not just beaten, but have a virtual total systems failure. It happened against your guys a couple of times before, and last year it happened against Tyrone in C/bar, and the Kerry game wasn't too far off either. The funny thing last night is that as bad as they were, with very little improvement they could have ended up with a score of 2-10 or 2-11 (the penalty, plus what was Andy Moran trying to do?) and still have wasted a huge amount of possession and scoring chances. That said, without Hennelly being in brilliant form (and I agree he was our best player), we'd have been looking at 4-12 and not 1-12. So God knows, we're a complete mystery to ourselves... I can only imagine what everyone else thinks. I think it's worth mentioning Fionn McDonagh's efforts... he worked his b**ocks off, terrific attitude to go with his ability. On the penalty save, what can you say? Dubs supporters to my left said the same thing about the goalie, but we agreed all keepers try to get out early and most of time they don't get pulled for it. Thought Jason Doherty might have left it for someone else... looked a bit shook by the foul on him. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 24/02/2019 11:21:01 2167444 Link 0 |

As always the investigation into last night is hilarious considering we have received heavier beatings than that against the Dubs in the league. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 8355 - 24/02/2019 11:53:41 2167454 Link 0 |

Its hard to fathom. Look I did say only a few weeks ago that itd be Mayo or Kerry who would win Sam if Dublin don't, and I know its very early in the year but im now writing Mayo off and maybe that's harsh considering its Mayos first defeat of the league. It may well be hyperbole and I guess time will tell but I thought that result flattered Mayo last night. I was just so disappointed by them. I saw the panel and thought that apart from the O'Connor brothers and Parsons, everyone else was there really and a few forwards that people raved about from previous games and I just expected a hum dinger. But everything Mayo done was poor. Finishing, defending, decision making (a lot of those wides you talk about where dreadful decisions to shoot in the first place), and yea look we can have bad nights where it just doesn't happen, But the conditions were perfect, a still calm mild enough night. A chance for you to lay down a marker for the year by handing Dublin another defeat and have them sweating over potential relegation but they just didn't stand up. If anything it was Dublin who looked hungrier to lay down that marker. I haven't watched it back but from 1-15 Dublin looked sharper, brighter. Our discipline was much better in the tackle, Mayo where making mistakes all over the show. Because I felt Mayo where going to come up and lay down a marker I didn't see how Dublin would win this game, So for us to win so convincingly, makes me wonder about Mayo Appreciate that this defeat may dampen a bit of hype and might not be the worst thing in the world for Mayo, and I appreciate also that im making a huge judgement based on 1 70 minute display in a league game in February, But I don't regularly watch Mayo in the league until they play Dublin and from what ive read and heard on here and other social media platforms, I expected much, much more. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13654 - 24/02/2019 12:23:05 2167464 Link 3 |
