It is a local rivalry, and kerin was giving him loads of it. I think he learned from past experiences and gave kerin exactly what he was looking for. Re the game itself. No hurricane wind and lashing rain in this fixture for the first time in a long time and the galway gameplan fell flat. People are giving out about the ref but galway have gotten away with some seriously overly physical stuff in this fixture in the past so i think that was coming.

Ref was equally bad for both teams overall. The black cards Galway got were well deserving and probably overdue. He could have handed out more to be honest. The problem with refereeing is the inconsistency of application of rules, which will always frustrate. I’ve said it time and again, the game needs 2 refs and a consistent application of rules. Each ref has their own different inconsistencies, but when you’ve a lad in his forties or fifties racing around the pitch after lads half his age and expecting him to get all the calls right you will be disappointed 9 times out of 10. That and the lack of use of Umpires to draw the refs attention to the off the ball stuff is actually criminal underuse of officials. I know most of them are mates with the ref and are there for the Tay and sandwiches but at the very least they should be able to draw the refs attention to the ****housery that goes on.

I think it has taken him this length of time to mature into a real top player. He has a great little burst of pace to make space once he gets the ball into his hands, always looking for a clever pass or else pop it over. He really is a very impressive player. One worry for me is that we should have won by alot more and we seemed to find it tough going in the second half until Coen's point after the penalty

It makes us less formidable to play against because teams always feel like they have a chance. That all said, it's great to get the win and knock Galway out. It was long overdue. And ya know, I love seeing the complaining Cillian. It's great to have him back and have the leadership and aggression he brings. Wouldn't change a thing about him. And galway can complain about the ref all they like too, but there are no angels on that Galway team and their discipline was poor. Looking forward to Kerry now. Love going to games down there. Hope it's a nice weekend for it.

Seeing some of the comments on the other threads the Galway lads seen to forget their dancing in the stands when beating us below in cbar few years ago. Mayo fans well within their right to celebrate and enjoy that win. Onto Kerry next week.
