Mayo GAA Discussion

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

was it a closed fist ?

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

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

Would have to watch back but Reape was entirely braced for the collision. If his gloved hand caught him in the midriff it was purely accidental. Injury due to impact to hip or leg.

The ball was just gone and he was 100% committed. You could even argue it wasn’t a foul all. Collision between two commuted players.

The last factor that makes me believe it was nowhere near a red is no match report makes an issue of it

Where did you see match reports?

Here are a couple of screen grabs.

First - ball just past Reapes head and he has his bracing for impact. Only moves one step past this point. Collision was unavoidable at this point.

Second - actual point of impact. Gloved right hand impacts Heaneys knee. Reapes knee is up, braced and this is what causes the injury.

Third - same moment from wider angle - you can see Reaps left hand outside line of impact so absolutely no change of "fist to midriff in this incident.

The more I look at it I am leaning more towards not even a foul. But on balance I would say free was the right decision but Reape was unlucky to get the yellow. Probably due to Joyce's flapping on the sideline

Oh I thought for some reason you meant referees report, apologies. Ps. Thanks for going to the effort of answering the ?s

I watched the replay there. It was completely accidental. Reape was committed to try and block the shot. Unfortunate for Heaney but it could have just as easily been Reape that got injured.

There was certainly no closed fist punch as someone here is suggesting 🙄

I don't think it was even a foul tbh.
