Doesn't look great at this point. I'd have Aiden in the square a bit more. Keeping Galway way back, and not tracking back to the halfway line.

crusd · 02-04-2023 05:12PM

Should have been black for Walsh I think

Loafing Oaf · 02-04-2023 05:19PM

Reape saves the day again. Not Comer's best goal effort though in truth...

irishgeo · 02-04-2023 05:25PM

We are throwing it away with sloppy passing.

Cartman78 · 02-04-2023 05:27PM

Gone very loose in the last 10-15 mins...so many attacks butchered.

Be-Jaysus · 02-04-2023 05:40PM

Well done Mayo.

The better team ,

Blackjack · 02-04-2023 05:45PM

Job done. Played poorly but you can only beat whats in front of you. To be fair Reape was great and prevented them from scoring the goals they kept looking for.

Only the league but important to keep our unbeaten record against Galway in Croker.

Paddy Durcan kept Comer in his pocket well too.

I’ll be interested to hear what Joyce has to say. I have ultimate respect for him as a player as he was outstanding, but he can come across as an awful whinger when on the receiving end of a defeat.

PARlance · 02-04-2023 05:51PM

Great to get the win but what a terrible game. Galway are poor and we were sloppy.

PARlance · 02-04-2023 05:54PM

Joyce won't be starring in any Island's Edge adverts anytime soon.

Blackjack · 02-04-2023 05:54PM

Yeah it was a poor contest.

Cartman78 · 02-04-2023 05:56PM

Questionable frees 🙄

Blackjack · 02-04-2023 05:57PM

TG4 interviewer lead him by the nose on that knowing which way Joyce would respond. There’s no love for Mayo from TG4 commentators anyway so it’s no surprise. I suppose when the headquarters is in Galway it’s easy to see why they would hold that line.

Nonsense. The interviewer is a Sligo man

Mayo won't get them frees against Dublin...........

maximus15 · 02-04-2023 06:00PM

Reape challenge didn't stop a goal chance, late challenge after heaney missed a goal chance, get it right padraig good lad ! Questionable frees on both sides but Galway could have had a few more yellows demselves for some of their cynical wrap around challenges .

PressRun · 02-04-2023 06:13PM

Good to get the win but plenty of work to do yet. Think on the statistics Galway got more scores from play and won more turnovers. We were sloppy at times and had a couple of periods where we dozed off. Still, some good performances from the likes of Durcan and Callinan and Reape of course. Anyway, good to get the trophy and finish the league on a high. Now on to Roscommon.

Blackjack · 02-04-2023 06:17PM

I have been listening intently to what they say, trust me, there’s no love for Mayo there.

happyoutscan · 02-04-2023 06:51PM

I thought the ref gave us a couple of softish frees but Im not bothered.

May as well gove Joyce some fuel, he's going to whinge anyway.

Blackjack · 02-04-2023 06:53PM

Yeah there were one or 2 that are the likes we don’t usually get awarded, fouls on Aido in particular.

PressRun · 02-04-2023 06:54PM

Any word on McBrien? Was surprised to see him subbed and it concerned me.

I think it’s more down to a ref actually awarding frees for fouls on AOS. Not used to seeing them so think they are soft when they are blatant fouls.

02-04-2023 06:59PM

Poor game, but still it's good to win the title after a very good league campaign.

This win was built on the good early start.

Actually other than the opener v Galway and the last game v Monaghan I don't think Mayo have been behind beyond the first few minutes in the whole league.

Those leads are handy when they drift out of games for 20+ minutes at a time, as was the case today.

I think they'll get past Roscommon next week, but it will again be very tight v Galway after that.

Borderline red card. The ball was gone. Reape was not attempting to play the ball, from the rear view it looks like he swung a closed fist into Henry's stomach.

It could be considered dangerous play.

km79 · 02-04-2023 07:12PM

AOS got 3 frees today

3 stonewall frees

No wonder PJ is mad

They can normally do that they want to him .

Shane Walsh missed some pressure kicks today. He has delivered so consistently for a decade now though we can not question his mentality ……..

Drink it in

:)

it will be quiet on here tonight

enjoy

Borderline yellow more like. Came out committed to a 50 50 ball. Heaney sticks the toe on the ball past Reape and momentum means Reape takes out. Turns to take the hit meaning Heaney goes full whack into Reapes hip resulting in the injury

km79 · 02-04-2023 07:16PM

What did PJ make of Comers hit on Reape late on I wonder ……..that was less than 50:50

was it a closed fist ?

Bass Reeves · 02-04-2023 07:19PM

If Reape did hit Heaney in the midriff with a closed fist is it a red card offence.

The ball was gone by the time he got to him. He was not attempting to play the ball at all it was going to be a foul after the ball is gone

If that was the intention it was dangerous play. Definitely a yellow, borderline red. If he struck Heaney with a close fist then it a definite red.

I would be more interested in Conroys follow through with knee to head when he went to ground. And the black for Walsh when he pulled OShea to ground

Squatman · 02-04-2023 07:22PM

Good result. Thoroughly disappointed in PJ's comments. Mayo scored 10 out of their 14 from frees or marks.... Penny didn't drop for him that frees are awarded for indiscipline.... Felt sorry for Shane Walsh, if it weren't for him, Galway were lost at sea. Ditto for comer. Not sure if he got a point, but 2 Hawkeye wides.... Jordan Flynn and durkan had lovely points. Aos maintained his final record.... (Altho I think that's for championship) I really think heaney should have been subbed off from the field of play immediately, knowing that it wasn't a head injury, and let play continue until ready to come back on... Reape had some lovely saves... Tommy amde instant impact, but he needs to back himself more. Both times lead to points, but he could have placed himself in more scorrable positions. Great to see hession and coc on the bench, so too McLaughlin and. Conroy. Big plusses for next weekend

Conroy's was accidental if you watch the replay it was the way momentum carried him, Comer got a yellow card swing did not make complete contact if it had it was a red card
