Mayo Kerry League Final

(Oldest Posts First) - Go To The Latest Post


Mayo lose another final surprise surprise, shooting practice for Kerry in Croker, Clifford has O'Hora in his pocket, Kerry will hardly get a real tough match now till the All Ireland semi final. Lovely simulation from AOS for the black card, he hasn't lost his touch anyway.

How did Jack Barry escape a black card? Yellow card is a far too inadequate punishment for such a cynical foul, and then Diarmuid O'Connor gets a black for a far less serious offence.

Padraig Horan is better off keeping his trap Closed and concentrate on marking Clifford instead,
Too obsessed man..

Doesn't say much for other teams if this Mayo team was able to make the final?

Mid-west said,, "we didn't see this coming" LOL
Now i realise why so many of our fans are mis-guided when accessing this current Mayo squad on here,.
Shocking performance by both horan and the mayo players,
Stephen coen and Loftus should have been hooked after 30 mins and should not get within a sniff of the starting 15 against Galway

Funny many on our own thread implying we will be beaten out the gate in Castlebar after the Rossies (deservedly in fairness) pipped us. No thanks for being an inter county footballer these days methinks.

Thanks for "correcting" the spelling of his surname there - it's O'Hora

Classy display by Clifford. Ridiculous double yellow for him and O'Hora - Clifford did nothing to deserve any card. It's a pet hate of mine - back nips at forward and half fouls him and is yapping in his ear all game. Then genius ref comes up and gives both men a yellow card. Clifford answered him with football though - just a classy operator and gives every impression of being a gent as well

The fact kerry won well is hardly surprising. No Durcan, mullin, diarmuid o'connor, hennelly (sub keeper generally good though), conroy (out for season) and killian o'connor (only getting back.) These are mayo's main men and even with them kerry would be big favorites. Also that's kerry finished now to the quarter final and maybe semi final so they can go full throttle. Mayo are focused on galway. In that sense I couldn't understand why kerry didn't go full throttle last week. Beating a team like tyrone who had to win would have been a better to fucus on with the all ireland in mind. Kerry just had to show up today to win.

In saying that coen is probably not just quick enough for intercounty football. I know mayo want to play man on man and really pressurise the ball but you can hardly leave good forwards never mind david clifford one on one. Kerry were much much more congested at the back so mayo conceded tactically as well.

The league is a funny competition with the final often been a damp squib because a lot of teams have moved on once they avoid relegation.

Disappointing one sided contest. David Clifford showed the GAA world what damage he can do with left one on one with a defender that isn't able for him.

Doesn't say much for Mayo either with that hiding.

I feel sorry for O'Hora - zero pressure on most of the ball going into Clifford and no help from a midfielder or half back when he did manage to stand him up.

Kerry were very impressive down the middle (Morley especially) and their forward unit are several levels above Mayo's.

Yes you're correct that Kerry won't get a proper game until they play in the all Ireland semi final that's because they play in the hurling province of Munster, a cake walk most years,that's why they've won more all irelands than any one else !

Ahem, 67% of Munster teams have qualified through the league's Top 16 places for the All-Ireland qualifiers. The highest percentage of all the province's.
There have been 2 All Munster All-Ireland finals. The highest total for all provinces. 5 out of 6 Munster counties have made the All-Ireland quarter-finals in the Qualifier era.
