When mayo had a good team..were never able to win an all ireland..we be lucky to see mayo in a all ireland final in nxt 10 years

munster87 · 26-06-2022 06:36PM

It’s as though Aidan O Shea will start for Mayo until he decides otherwise himself.

theoneeyedman · 26-06-2022 06:36PM

Fair play to Cillian O'Connor, holding Tom O'Sullivan to just three points from play today.

26-06-2022 06:39PM

Football truly in a bad place. Serious changes needed. Provincials need to go.

John Doe1 · 26-06-2022 06:40PM

That is worst Mayo team ive seen in a long time.

Kerry were not that great either.

Derry/Dublin to win all ireland

namloc1980 · 26-06-2022 06:41PM

3 rubbish matches this weekend and poor crowds at them. The only competitive game had the best crowd. Football championship is beyond boring.

Yep. People that gave them a chance today were basing on the good Mayo side of the last decade. This team is miles off that side.

As I said after the draw was made, this was a great draw for Kerry. Never any chance of them being beaten, good physical test, Mayo tackled them ferociously and turned em over loads. Armagh could and probably would have beaten them today.

Amprodude · 26-06-2022 06:50PM

Kerry will win the All Ireland. Dublin aren't brilliant and might be a step too far for Derry or Galway.

Derry or Galway will be outsiders in AI obviously, but whichever of them it is, they have a better chance than i thought after this weekend.

Comment of the day 👏👏.

A bit of schadenfreude watching Cillian O'Connor today. Great fun.

You'd have to feel for the other stawarts though. The chance has gone.

callaway92 · 26-06-2022 06:57PM

Mayo remind me of Tottenham in soccer

Genuinely had a chance to win the big one but couldn’t get it done. Completely stale now obviously and have been for a couple of years

BIG freshening up needed

26-06-2022 06:58PM

I think Kerry are better than what we saw today. All the same i think Dublin will beat them with James McCarthy and Conn back. I'd be fearful for galway or Derry in an All Ireland final.

1wizards sleeve · 26-06-2022 07:01PM

Galway conceded 16 points to mayo and probably 20 and 24 apx to ross and armagh in 70mins If kerry or Dublins forwards show up at all they will put up a cricket score in the final. Hoping derry make the final as they are good enough to keep it competitive

robbiezero · 26-06-2022 07:02PM

Both O Connors look finished.

Like him or not Cillian has had a fine career, but for me Diarmaid has been a huge disappointment, he was the best u21 footballer in the country by a mile the year they won it, looked like he would be a massive player for Mayo for a decade, but it never materialized apart from a very odd day.

26-06-2022 07:04PM

Lads Cillian, Diarmuid, Aidan and Rob Hennelly will be back next year. Wait and see. In fact id imagine Aidan will be actively involved in picking a new manager.

If the Kerry attack gets turned over as often against Dublin as they did today and in last years semi, they will be beaten, possibly comfortably.

They were lucky today that they came up against a team who wouldnt hit a bulls arse with a shovel.

Luxembourgo · 26-06-2022 07:09PM

The negativity towards football is something else....

Enjoyable weekend of football, some great goals and points.

Semi finals should be great

Didn't Galway hockey Derry a few weeks ago?

Say Your Number · 26-06-2022 07:13PM

The change in the calendar is still f*cking with my head, has me thinking it's August.

1wizards sleeve · 26-06-2022 07:14PM

Yes and Donegal done similar to armagh it was different a few weeks later.. either way. Dublin or kerry wins sam ,handy imo neither has peaked

blowitupref · 26-06-2022 07:16PM

Drama filled ending to the first game however it was very poor by Galway not to close the game out when 1-16 to 0-13 ahead on 70 minutes with the man advantage. Got out of jail by winning the penalty shootout i'd prefer a replay to find the a winner in All Ireland quarter final but it is what it is and it's obvious for Joyce and his management that he can't select Gleeson in goal for the semi final.

2nd game never caught fire. Tactical affair 1st half and I think Mayo would be disappointed they weren't leading but the Clifford goal proved the difference in that half. 2nd half impressive and controlling performance from Kerry. Blocked off the channels. Forced Mayo to shoot from positions they weren't comfortable from, Mayo pace coming from wing half back was nullified and weren't given a sniff of goal chance.

I know the media want to talk up Kerry's forwards but if Kerry go on to win this All-Ireland the improvement in defence deserves the most praise.

Strumms · 26-06-2022 07:16PM

youd have to look at the sideline re: Mayo.. they seemed to relinquish their tactical traits that they’ve use in the past to hinder more skilful opposition and provided a pathway to their ‘success’ …not too many digs or dragging/fouling off the ball today, or lying on top of / kicking balls away after the whistle or diving…the odd time sure..

an 8 point defeat, Mayo they really never laid a glove on Kerry if we are being honest ...i think they were level in the 27th minute and from that point Kerry were always ahead… 40+ minutes in the ascendancy….Mayo never even achieved parity. The Mayo half forwards and midfield look very porous defensively and the ability that Kerry had to transition from defending to attacking was superb… lightning fast actually and Mayo had no answer….

He's in an all Ireland semi now pal and if ye had one forward with half his talent yed have 5 all Ireland by now

Remember that we're only here because Cillian thought he had Walshs talent and tried to kick a free from his bad foot. Hilarious

shockframe · 26-06-2022 07:20PM

Horan will get plenty of stick and will likely step away but he did as well as he could.

Mayo were probably on the wane since Newbridge in 2018 and getting to the last 8 x4 with 2 finals is a good return.

It could take them a while to resurface again. Covid helped them in a big way in 2020/21 but their underage hasnt been as strong so a rebuild will be on the way.

Question for Mayo fans. Who else would be the best man to take over(Besides the 2 o sheas, cillian, o connor, effin Andy Moran etc)?

doc_17 · 26-06-2022 07:20PM

Delighted that Armagh lost out today. Dirty wee digs all day and all designed to try and get people hurt or angry and retaliate. And then the eye gouge…..

Handlins against Tyrone, Donegal and then today. But according to McGeeney it’s all social media’s fault.

Enjoy the road home to knockmore pal. I literally couldn't think of anything more depressing

shockframe · 26-06-2022 07:33PM

I can'y say I was all that impressed watching Kerry today.

It suits them down to the ground to be written off and Jack has often had the last laugh but for a county that has won 5 all ireland minors in a row they look well below what people thought they would be 3 to 4 years ago.

Bar Clifford who is already an all time great and 2 or 3 others who are quite good they don't look the 'Golden Years 3' side that they were hyped up to be....
