Man Vs ManUre until 9/05/23
Don't kno where to start. They bring on mcshane early when ahead . We take off o hora when getting into game . Walsh and o shea are forwards who can't score . Loftus was left in too long when poor. He brings on Flynn who can't score. Orme expected to perform when played only a few mins for mayo before. They planned for every period of today's game and looked like fully drilled . We didn't.
Complete non performance really....shocking amount of missed chances.
Hard to know if Tyrone even played well tbh but they did enough to win so fair play
Where's the better attacking option? Carr?
Total disaster
McHale when played in right position can score . Horan takes a dislike to certain players and alwys gives them less time on pitch than others. O shea did not deserve 70 mins today .
DOC shuda taken the pen. Needed a cool experienced head not a young lad.
I could never understand why Mayo let Rochford go to bring Horan back, it was a mistake, Horan doesn’t seem to learn.
Alright feel free to say it a few dozen more times so...
I didn't see a game plan at all there today. Started brightly but seemed to panic when a few turnovers resulted in Tyrone scores.
Mentally not there when it comes to finals. It's a hard one to take when they missed so many opportunities against such a tight defence
i think a mayo lost the game- could have been closer at least at the end - by going into contact and holding onto the ball until there was three or more Tyrone players around the Mayo player. This was happening frequently throughout the match and mainly between the Mayo full and half forward line. The end result in most cases was the ball being held onto too long, the ball being turned over or the ball was thrown. This played right into Tyrone’s hands in that it could buy time to get its defense fully organized in case it is needed to defend further and take the wind out of the Mayo sails.
I’d say that Tyrone practiced the above to the n’th degree to make sure that it would have a high rate of success.
i cannot understand why Mayo ‘play around more’ with the ball, move faster towards the Tyrone goal and release the ball as soon as two ,max, tacklers are drawn. Mayo’s best chance for getting scores against a team like Tyrone with the way it’s defence was set up was to run quickly at its defence when they break out and not give time to Tyrone to get fully organized.
Take me off the list there, Yop.
That was…. Well. Certainly not our finest day. Not a good day. Although both teams made mistakes Tyrone beat us pretty thoroughly in the end. And that’s despite giving us plenty of rope to haul ourselves back into the game. We just didn’t manage to do it
I see some over on the general thread seem delighted we've had the heartbreak again this evening.
Commiserations guys...I never thought you'd lose it today. Your fans are fantastic and so disappointing that your players left you down again... hopefully you'll be back..
Gutted for you all but seriously... You beat yourselves
There will always be a few. Genuine fans and GAA people wont be gloating cos we all know how it feels to lose, either following our counties or from playing the game and losing club finals.
Very hard luck to Mayo. Nothing else to be said.
so disappointing.
What is it with our lads carrying and soloing the ball into contact, against Tyrone of all teams, but this has been happening all year.
Loftus missed an absolute sitter , scuffing the ball when ball when all he had to do was put his foot through the ball.
His confidence dwindled from there onwards and should have been hooked long before when he was..
Think O Sheas times up, as hes holding back the team imo, hasn't the legs or stamina ,and lacks aggression.
Too much sentimentality in Mayo. Rochford had his chance and wasnt able to do it either. Seems to be a backroom team of coaches and former players who know nothing but how to loose an All Ireland final.
Don't know at what point Mayo abandon the in house coaching set up and go for an outside perspective.
The reason O'Hora came off is some eejit with a laptop said his gps numbers were high or something like that. Same old Mayo.
I keep starting to type something and then I just give up.. I'm since 1989 waiting for my mother to see a Mayo team win an all Ireland.. obviously she's waiting much longer but 89 is the first heartbreak I remember.
Disappointed for you all. I'm beginning to wonder if I'll ever see a Mayo team lift Sam.
The game passed Diarmuid O Connor by
Ah.... Where to start....
No plan, no cohesion, a general lack of energy. Poor and late substitutions.
I don't want to take away from the dedication and commitment of anyone on that team, as that's never in question, but... that performance on the biggest of days is inexcusable.
Onwards. Mayo for Sam 2022. 😊 Feels a bit sad writing that tbh. 😭
No gloating from me but biggest red flag was hearing Tyrone called an 'underdog' which was a miscalculation imo. They beat Kerry not by a fluke but because they were superior. Better than the cynical-defensive Tyrone of a few years ago.
Rochford made plenty of mistakes himself eg 2016 but was also unlucky. Don't think you can blame Horan too much for today. 4 of our starting forwards and our 2 midfielders didn't turn up.
As a Kerryman, it's reminiscent of our semi final, taking the ball into the tackle, missed goal chances, going for Goals when the point was the sensible option.
But you have to put a lot of that down to the pressure Tyrone exert on you. Their ability to close down attacks is a skill Kerry desperately need to learn and probably Mayo as well.
while i know you are all gutted tonight think you can still get one as it looks open enough over the next year or two .The people who thought there was a bit of an over the top reaction to the semi win might have had a point you were still in the game late on but lacked the composure again with some poor shots taken in haste .
If Mayo had buried that goal chance in the first half i think they would have pushed on, it was a shocking miss, the penalty was just as bad , looked like he never took one before.
Didn't take the chances that would have given them the mental edge when it mattered. Instead each miss swung the game towards Tyrone.
Not that it matters now but did anyone get a clear view of the red card incident? Wouldn't have thought Ruane was the type to instigate that sort of thing but maybe frustration was creeping in at that stage.
He was **** **** all day - wet the beds - bottled t again
