Mayo GAA Discussion

Panel is of the opinion that he deliberately took Heaney out. They think the yellow car was lenient. Peter Canavan said at least a black card and a red card was in play as well because of the use of the knee.

I still don't see how it was deliberate by Reape. When someone like Heaney runs into you at full pace, of course your right leg is going to stick out.

Obviously the three pundits are biased.

As Canavan said he did not spread him self to save a goal shot but instead took a position to stop the man. It's BS this about both players committed. The ball was well gone and he knew it would be gone and made a decision to stop the man. Did he mean to hurt him no but the responsibility of not endangering a player is on him. As I posted earlier I said it looked like a strike from the rear and by the way Heaney reacted. However they did not show that angle much on the Sunday game. But they did dwell on the knee contact.

Drink it in :)

Give it a rest about the Heaney thing. This stuff happens in field sports. It didn't stop Heaney taking the shot today, it went wide. Galway still got a point from it. It didn't affect the result.

So the three panelists were wrong

I swear to God, some people only watch matches to moan about flash points and who should have gotten this red card or that black card.

paul Flynn was wondering why Shane Walsh didn’t take the 45 out of his hands. But the three panelist’s were correct.

They absolutely were, and usually are about a lot of things. Which is why most people don’t bother watching that shite anymore

hes the best in the country in my opinion , himself and McGuinness on sky were excellent

Pretty clear image of the impact there. No deliberate trip.

Yea. My point exactly. Galway poor discipline cost them up to 10 points from frees. That being said if mayo weren't fouled, they would likely be scored points up to scored goals..

Regarding reape, I have decided that the best line to take on this is the great escape. I think that'll annoy the Galway boys in work today more than defending an accident. Reape went out to foul and got away with it.... If anyone is familiar with the Shawshank redemption when yer man was laughing about killing a woman and they pinned it on her husband 😊

Bit of a damp squib yesterday, never really got going but great to win it all the same, it'll annoy Galway that it seemed like the game was there for them for most of it and they just weren't able to take it

Delighted for Reape, hard to believe hes only a goalie for four years. Thought the yellow was probably fair, red would have been ridiculously harsh and he did creel Heaney. Which is exactly whats needed from your goalie, I want Harald Schumacher in goal, lads need to be petrified of a one on one. For the saves what really impressed me was his awareness, the Maher chance he spots that hes coming and narrows the space so quickly, it makes the goal small. Its really intelligent goalkeeper play and a credit to his coaches, thats something I haven't seen from Reape before. The save from Cooke was also impressive, hes after getting a dirty dig from Comer and hes still able to make that save. His kickouts were excellent too, he hit one to McDonagh in the second half that was unbelievable. Impressive all round

Great to see McStay give Callinan and Coyne two important jobs, thought they both did well.

Joyce does some amount of whinging, his post match press conference is on off the ball, "no complaints" followed by five minutes of complaining, we should be used to it by now though, hes never lost a match where it wasn't the refs fault. When you compare him to McStay its night and day, hes delighted to be Mayo manager and shows it. I think Malachy Clerkin said last week that it showed a really lack of ego for McStay to be treated the way he was by the Mayo Co board and still come back, it was an excellent way of putting it I thought.

Are Galway serial losers now? Thats three finals in 12 months they've lost

Speaking of serial losers..................I see we're missing a couple of Galway posters who usually like to drift over here after matches

PJ'S lack of control over what he says,bitterness and general overly emotional manner is a serious plus for Mayo.Long may it continue.
