I have no doubt before the end of the week that the amateur card will also be played by those equivocating on the melee. I remember the Tiernan McCann incident when he went down after his hair was ruffled and by the Thursday afterwards Marty Morrissey or Brian Carty was gravely intoning what an injustice had been done to poor Tiernan.

Golden score would be my preference but a replay a week later would probably end the match sooner.

Mayo will not win an All-Ireland with Aidan O'Shea anywhere near the team. I have been saying this consistently for quite a few years now and it remains as true as ever.

And with no solid 7/10 keeper, plus another forward who has nous. AOS got one good score to be fair. Feck all after that Moran ran show and AOS preferred position supposed to be midfield!

I still maintain that Mayo starting AOS gives the opposing team 4 points up. The fella is a passenger in games. Be different if he took frees or Something. Does not even use his bulk to effect. At this stage he is more myth than legend. Anytime I saw him would nearly only know he was on the pitch when he is called on PA system when he is subbed off!

Fiyatoe · 27-06-2022 03:55PM

Fully agree with above/ whatever about James Horan, if I were mayo fans I’d want O’Shea gone out the gate first mission before the manager

Funny part is I think Horan is a good manager. Rebuilding a team a few times now. It is just Mayo have div 1 backs (arguably best in country) and mostly div 3/4 forwards.

Very frustrating to watch and shout for (like I was yesterday) would drive a fella to drink. When the forwards do the same eejitry stuff over and over. Stupid stuff.

Dropping ball short into opposing keeper hands unforgivable IMO but they did it 4/5 times! Plus they seemed to have forgotten about the mark rule yesterday!

Kerry are the most over rated team. Clifford is the only dependable. Moran will start coughing up ball in the midfield as he always does against a good team. Dublin have 10 or 11 players with 6-8 All Ireland medals. Kerry a few lads who scraped one in 2014.

Kerry kept a limited injury struck Mayo in the game for 55min. They're a windy one man team.

That frightening Kerry attack with Moynihan, Stephen O'Brien and Geaney. The same crew who are bottling for years. Where were they against Tyrone last year. Dublin no how to, and will beat those flat track bullies at ease.

TBF you don't normally get banned without a few warnings first he probably ignored the warnings.

To get back on topic I fancy Dublin against Kerry and if you're a gambling man/woman 11/8 is a tasty price.

Re. the penalty shoot-out, having watched penalties in rugby I can fairly say that at least players going for goals in Gaelic Football is a spectacle because it's a contest between kicker and goalkeeper. Point kicking would be boring.

It probably means I'm in mortal dread of the "soccer crowd" to say this but while it's exciting in the moment, a penalty shootout deprives the public of exciting replay days like Dublin-Mayo (2015) and Kerry-Mayo (2014). I'd say they are rare enough and wouldn't be too disruptive to club competitions when they happen.

Most situations where they happen in soccer seems to be where a replay is totally impractical. Not sure the GAA really needs to suffocate its fixtures so much to render replays impossible. There are worse scenarios than a replay. And just because they are suggested does not mean that penalties are all bad. Yes, there have been bigger prizes decided by penalties (Soccer World Cup finals for example) but that doesn't mean that there are not many on the soccer fraternity who don't think that's less than ideal too.

Money down the drain, I think. If someone wanted an outside shot from the four left Derry are the value IMO. They have an x factor about them. And if Derry would beat Galway IMO, a massive Derry crowd will likely drive on the side v Dublin/Kerry.

Dublin's only hope is to play cagey and pressure Kerry on the ball. Keep scoring with frees etc. Dublin won't hold Kerry for 70, Kerry have more calmness now than they have had in previous years.

Yerra should at this rate its hardly worth Dublin's time even to turn up. Just give Kerry the walkover

damianmcr · 27-06-2022 05:28PM

Booked tickets for myself and my Dad today. We've got our own accounts but out of handiness I used my PayPal for both. In total I've booked 7. I was going to do it on his account as I didn't have two laptops setup like previous games but then the limit was 6. This time though is the first time I've exceeded the as it was 8 the last time. Im sort of worried now there's a chance I'll get the tickets cancelled. I realise the semi final isn't likely to sell out so that's will hopefully stop them worrying about actual scalpers. Should I chill? I believe if I ask Ticketmaster they will have to cancel one ticket as it's been pointed out to them.

MOD NOTE

Yesterday was a rather busy day on the GAA Forum - this in itseslf should be a good thing but unfortunately a few posters lost the run of themselves and wrongly believed that Abuse etc is tolerated.

There are only 2 Active GAA Moderators - both of whom were off line yesterday - the cheek of us!

There were over 1000 posts in the GAA Forum yesterday, so trying to catch up is obviously hard to do. Thank you to those who Reported Posts and made a Moderators job that much easier.

Having trawled through this Thread in particular nearly 30 Warnings/infractions have now been given out and those posts are now edited to show this.

7 Posters have been Banned from the GAA Forum - bans ranging from 2 days to 1 month.

Any issues, as always, please PM.

James Horan steps down after yesterday

True, no surprise either, his 4 year spell was up and it was his second stint at it.

Golden score would be brutal.

What is it with GAA fans wanting to change formats already?

Let penalties settle in first before we go changing it.

Penalties are as fair as it gets if you're not going to a replay.

Jesus Christ. Why not have a round robin after a draw with the teams beaten by the drawn teams. I mean, it makes as much sense as that rubbish above.

Nothing wrong with penalties. No one has come up with anything other than "I don't like them" to want rid.

Any truth Con and McCarthy wont be ready for the semi final, or is it more rumours like Clifford being yesterday?

Is there any way to ban posting from "new" accounts like the soccer ?

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119258705#Comment_119258705

I'm afraid not. Soccer is a 'Group' which allows Mods greater control and it has a Much Stricter Charter.

'New' posters that are clearly only in here to cause trouble will be treated as such and banned accordingly.

We also have thugs wrestling and fighting at the end of a game, throw them out, game over.

I actually love the penaltied but its a soccer thing, 90 % of GAA scores are points.

Also i did suggest what i thought work but you did not bother to read.

Sure the Kerry fans know it as well. Not many there the last day. Some might be more pushed for the SF v Dublin.

But the smart ones in the know will be putting together plans for the final. Hotels, BnB .ringing relations to stay in Dublin, having tickets planned etc, train booked etc. And have the Kerry geansai washed and ironed ready to go.

Meself as a Dub is only going to see the proper confirmation of end of a great Dublin era. Maybe last time will see Cooper in blue etc? And then clap Dublin living legends off the field.

FrancieBrady · 27-06-2022 08:03PM

Horan steps down. Inevitable really.
