Replying To midlands: "There's always a Galway man ready to have a swipe at Mayo." Good man. Are you saying he didn't deserve a red and didn't let his team down by getting sent off at a time his team needed every hand on deck? festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 10/08/2019 18:58:29 2223494 Link

Replying To moc.dna: "Will we get any analysis of the first free 30 seconds into the 2nd half which was brought in 30 mtrs from play for a push, hard to see anything that warranted it. Also was Keegan fouled off the ball for the first Dublin goal." Yeah they showed a load of replays of the 1st goal but didnt show how keegan ended up on the ground, he didn't seem to complain but so probably nothin in it achara (Monaghan) - Posts: 562 - 10/08/2019 19:00:42 2223496 Link

But I guess you only see what you want to see? Royalio11 (Meath) - Posts: 757 - 10/08/2019 19:02:50 2223498 Link
40 plus years watching football and for the life of me could not fathom why so many on here thought Mayo had a chance. Is it people blinded by bitterness or just a refusal to acknowledge that the Dubs are THAT good? They are an amazing team, Mayo were never gonna have the legs to stop them for the 70 minutes. Hats off to the veterans on that Mayo team for their dedication to the game . Tyrone won't stop the Dubs and its probably a year too soon for this Kerry team but I think a Dubs v Kerry final on a dry sunny day could be an epic contest. catchturnscore (Longford) - Posts: 149 - 10/08/2019 19:05:28 2223499 Link
Mayo came out in the 2nd half not prepared for the change in Dublin. We all knew what was going to happen except Horan. Mayo needed to stall the Dublin attack but had no second plan. Took Horan almost 15 minutes to make his first change in the 2nd half. By that time Dublin had already showered & was on the bus home. Mayo, their problem has always been their sideline. Anyway didn't see us making an All Ireland Semi Final this year so it was a bonus. Would rather be here and lose than not make it at all. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 10/08/2019 19:06:52 2223501 Link

Replying To cavanman47: "Gavin's tactical nous has always been questionable. See 2014 semi final and team selection for 2017 final. The big names have upped it in the 2nd half and papered over those cracks in style." Hes on his way to the 5 in a row. Players have not papered over any cracks, there are no cracks. yes he has an abundance of talent at his disposal but he is obviously a great manager I dont even see how anyone could question that. Mayo were the better team in the first half because the are a good team who gave it everything they had and dublin were a bit slower because it's literally the 1st time a team has actually given them a proper challenge all year. I do like watching some of dublins play because it is absolutely fantastic but Id rather watch the highlights now I hate seeing them destroy teams over and over again galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 10/08/2019 19:08:20 2223503 Link

Unless you are nit picking I wouldn't go there with that as an excuse, it was demolision. arock (Dublin) - Posts: 4896 - 10/08/2019 19:08:55 2223504 Link
Absolutely fantastic to see Tom Parsons back on the field. What a comeback. Thrilled to bits for him. cluichethar (Mayo) - Posts: 454 - 10/08/2019 19:09:22 2223505 Link
Looking at that, why would you even want to win the other semi? Issue is how to keep intensity for every minute of the 70 or 80. Too many of Dublin's opponents have lapses in concentration. You don't "deserve" to win just because you put in a good 40 or 50 minutes. Other teams are close enough on skills and conditioning; but, currently, none of the other teams have shown that they know how to play to the top of their ability for an entire game; none so far have shown that they can stay with the Dubs in terms of 100% focus. That's a mental discipline thing; and it also derives from whether or not you see yourself as a winner; or whether, at heart, you're more comfortable with losing, and covering up that loser mentality by "playing a good game". Unfortunately, in 2019, every other team is showing Dublin far too much respect; and look I don't see either Kerry or Tyrone stopping the rot. essmac (Tyrone) - Posts: 1141 - 10/08/2019 19:10:03 2223506 Link
Replying To festinog: "Good man. Are you saying he didn't deserve a red and didn't let his team down by getting sent off at a time his team needed every hand on deck?" Never said he didn't deserve it but just making a factual observation. It seems every time Mayo are down there's someone from Galway dancing on their grave. I just don't understand where the apparent animosity comes from. midlands (Westmeath) - Posts: 542 - 10/08/2019 19:14:21 2223508 Link
Makes tomorrow's game pretty pointless. Anybody want a family ticket for it? I think we'll go to the zoo instead. Dermoot (Tyrone) - Posts: 46 - 10/08/2019 19:14:31 2223509 Link
Replying To cluichethar: "Congratulations Dublin, it took you 35 minutes plus half time to wake up but you woke up and put Mayo to sleep. Ruthless is the only way to describe how you play. When you get on top you really turn it on. Dublin has a lot of great players but the brains of the team Jim Gavin is worth more than any player. After the 5 in a row, & in 3 weeks it will be 5 in a row would love to see him leave Dublin & take over another team because I really believe he would bring them to the top. For us Mayo fans the Teens are over & no Sam. The 20s start next year. Again Dublin congratulations" Dublin were great in the second half. In the first half while Mayo still 'had the legs' they were the better team. The Dubs were more aggressive in the second half and had the tonic of surviving what have been a Mayo goal to run the ball to the other end and goal themselves. This few seconds of play seemed to drain the last dregs of energy out of Mayo legs and the game finished as a contest. Mayo forwards again failed to function and it was left to the ever willing half-back line to carry the fight to Dublin. (What great warriors Keegan and Boyle are). Its hard to see either Kerry or Tyrone stopping this Dublin team. Congratulations to them. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 10/08/2019 19:15:07 2223510 Link

At least the other 3 provinces can hope of winning a title. We have none royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 10/08/2019 19:15:22 2223511 Link

Too true; he comes across as a lovely chap, and given what he's had to overcome time and time again to stay at this level, you can't help but admire the man. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 10/08/2019 19:17:39 2223515 Link
