    Questionable frees 🙄



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,664 ✭✭✭Blackjack


    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...........



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 624 ✭✭✭maximus15


    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 .

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,640 ✭✭✭happyoutscan


    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.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,664 ✭✭✭Blackjack


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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,198 ✭✭✭PressRun


    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.

    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.

    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭crusd


    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,490 ✭✭✭✭km79


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

    was it a closed fist ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,400 ✭✭✭✭Bass Reeves


    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,630 ✭✭✭Squatman


    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,400 ✭✭✭✭Bass Reeves


    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

    When was walshe incident? Tbf to Conroy I think he did his best to avoid contact.... Galway were consistently a little too much when tackling, kudos to the ref for not black carding, but it could have been warranted in certain situations,. Im still glad we bet the full 15.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭crusd


    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,400 ✭✭✭✭Bass Reeves


    It looks like a closed fist and it looks like he swung his arm. I will have to see it again. But if it's a closed fist would you not agree it's a red card offence

    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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,380 ✭✭✭crusd


    45:27. Definately pulled him to ground.

    On Conroy - I dont think it was avoidable either, just like the Reape one on Heaney, which is the point I was trying to make

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



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,630 ✭✭✭Squatman


    My thoughts at the time too were that it should have been a kick out rather than a free in. From review, Im of the same opion

    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.
