as bad a ref i have seen. throws a few cards at end to deflect from him..
de rte sour lol fk it put on double o feckin 7
Put on RTE2+1 now, extra-time is about to begin, and you can watch the extinction of Dublin from this year's All-Ireland all over again.
What a great day to be Irish
I mean from Mayo sorry
Fairly sad outlook really.
Says the man crying because Dublin didn't have a ref ridiculously in their favour like they usually do. Since 2005 it's been the case. It's almost like the GAA wanted a return on their investment and the refs didn't want to upset the apple cart. The ref was actually more pro Dublin then Mayo today but at least it wasn't as bad as usual.
Yes, they had a shite first half. But from the second half on Mayo played like getting to a final was something worth fighting for and were the worthy winners.
Dublin just gave every other team watching a master class in how to be a sore loser.
UP MAYO!
Post of the Day.
Never change RC.
Now that Dublin are gone I'm dying to see what the ABD crowd are like for the test of the championship. Should be entertaining at the very least.
I said Dublin would win and I got it badly wrong.
I don't see that performance troubling Kerry though in the final sadly.
But hopefully I be wrong again
Its laughable that a ref that ignored 3 reds and 4 blacks in favour of your team can then claim the same ref is against them. Theres form from that poster though.
We'll take solace in the previous decade of utter domination. This thread has been gas this evening.
For sure. I always took it as an article of faith that the sport with the most hate-filled supporters in the world was hurling. But looks like it is GAA supporters in general. You know you are dealing with the scum of the earth when they are even angrier when the result suits them.
Yeah
Not something you would usually see from the controlled Dublin teams we are used of.
Do you know where McStay is from?
Christ above
Wow
Would be surprised if they seriously trouble Kerry.
I'm actually quite scared funding will be cut from other counties and redirected to Dublin. Can't have you lot losing now can we. The ref did his best to keep you in it, just like in leinster back in the 00's when you won multiple tight matches with thanks to a biased ref.
But yes I'll enjoy the final more now that 2 traditional honest counties will be playing. Obviously I don't want kerry winning with something like 37 already. Too much silverware for a single county in a 32 team championship. So Mayo it is. I'll be very disappointed if they lose.
You could always edit the post to say what you actually meant?
Congratulations Mayo, a mighty comeback when everything seemed to be going wrong. Big credit must go to Horan and his team to take off a misfiring captain in AOS. Big call and his others changes worked well also.
It was disappointing to see allot of the great dublin players were all so used to, resort to that kind of behaviour. Kinda sullies allot of reputations. There persistence with the Keep ball Gavin tactics looks like it's holding them back to be honest. They should be building bigger leads when there on top instead of wasting time for a point. Plus it's terrible to watch and negative for the game in general.
But the Day belongs to Mayo, enjoy the weekend lads and hopefully we'll see ye in the final, whether we get to play tyrone or not. Let's hope for a exciting final but moreover a good game of football now that the basketball stuff has been put to bed.
Utter domination on the spreadsheets lad. Tbh it's a really bad reflection on the county you didn't win this year. All those advantages and you couldn't do it. Just imagine you'd a county like monaghan with their resources. You'd probably not even enter the championship like kilkenny do.
For Dublin, with all their advantages, to lose to Mayo is bad enough but to lose in the manner they did today is something else. One of the most filthy displays we've seen on a football pitch.
Your obsessed by football. Earlier you were saying it’s dead lol
A bit of karma that his cynical play allowed the Mayo goalie to retake the 45 he missed. You could say they would have won if McMahon didn’t do that 🤣. The dirtiest player of all time by a long long way.
Mayo getting trounced in the final would be the most Mayo thing ever lol
Loving the comments from the first half
i think whatever referee and officials are in receipt of that assignment will sit down and be very strong with each other as regards not wanting to leave the pitch having put on a shîtshow of a performance like Lane & Co today...All Ireland final, their reputations could or would be in tatters like Lane and Co. now.
that said, Mayo tactics today were drilled, planned and were not just agreed out there... can they go out and play it straight, fair to beat one of two other talented Kerry or Tyrone outfits ? Doubtful....no in fact... it’s pretty much muscle memory what they get up to.....
It's a tough defeat to take. Look, there clearly is huge delight in seeing Dublin beaten, pity the Mayo ladies didn't win earlier also. This is nothing personal against Dublin people, it's just honest Gaels don't appreciate the way Dublin have been operating for 2 decades now. That's all.
It is not acceptable to say it but I really felt when Dublin were winning a fair few dodgy decisions went against them. Thought the ref leaned towards keeping the game alive. But too much anger and loathing here for that view not to be spat at of course.
I don't think Kerry will be able to deal with Mayo's physicality.
Dublin came out today and hit Mayo as hard as I have seen anyone hit Mayo.
They did what Mayo used to do to people back in the 2010s.
But it only lasted 35 minutes.
Then Mayo took over and did the hard hitting.
Kerry would be doing well to live with that.
* yawns *
True enough. Especially since they likely will lose the final.
