Let that be the end of the discussion around "how good" Aidan O'Shea is. Simply not good enough and found out once again on the big day.

Nothing a goal won't fix. Plenty of time yet.

Replying To thelongridge:  "Surely that rule should be scrapped for a semi final?"
You would think so. But it's the GAA we are talking about so no repeat pairings where possible.

And it keeps Dublin and Kerry apart for the final :-(

It means of course that it won't be a Kerry v Dublin semi final either

3 weeks in a row a big ask, didn't want to make that excuse because Tyrone were beat but now it's 3 teams out.

Totally agree, 2 weeks rest make a huge difference

A second half lesson there. Absolutely no excuses. Dublin and Kerry the 2 big guns the rest still chasing.

Dublin and Kerry peaking at the right time. Fair play to them.

Most posters on here seem quite content for teams to go head to head with Dublin for 35/40 mins then watch Dublin go up into second gear and win by q dozen or more. Is that your idea of great entertainment?

As a neutral, what a disappointing second half.
If you're a Dub, you could only be thrilled at the extra gear found after the break.

They upped the physicality hugely - I'd say they realised Mayo were running on gas a little bit

Yes and they got the easiest draw. Two teams that were going no further.

Hard luck yesterday. Am sure it is disappointing for such a proud county.
