Mayo GAA Discussion

Some odd decisions by the ref all match in fairness.

Seems like we had the winning of that match at several stages but didn't put them to the sword

Only a point difference but slightly better forwards the difference. Mayo had no defender to compete with Comer in the air. Needed a sweeper in front of him?

Could really have done with Paddy Durcan.

100%
we lost it on and off the pitch

Cowardly

I hope this is the end of the brainless optimism I've seen from some people. The current team is lacking and that is a simple fact. The general standard of player isn't there. There are several starters on this team that wouldn't have gotten near Horan's team.

The rossies in the hyde will be interesting

The free before that too looked for all the world soft as well

The referee wasn't great but he did as much to hurt Galway as he did to hurt us. I've never seen a 45 brought forward before, and I'm watching football for over 50 years. Also the throw up he gave before we went 2 up was very soft.

We were not good enough. That's the bottom line. Nobody to contain their danger men effectively and at the other end, we carry no goal threat and are still too lateral trying to work it into Ryan O'Donaghue.

I see a lot of positives from that game and a lot of negative comments on here. The Mayo midfield has been berated on here time and again. I thought they did great today and won a lot of ball and breaking ball, fair play also to Matthew Ruane, really drove at the defence and got some great scores too. Colm Reape had a great game as did the defence in general bar some goal chances coughed up. Thought it was great to see Tommy Conroy back to himself and offer another attacking option to the forwards.
Mayo should have won that game but didn’t for one reason I could see - 100% instance of overusing the lateral pass going nowhere and not converting enough scores. They were the better team overall on the day. Thought Gough gifting Galway the victory over a few strange free calls from a midfield position earlier was ridiculous and puts the game into disrepute. Either it’s a foul or it isn’t as Joanne Cantwell said. Have to hand it to RTÉ though, they did their best to make out poor Galway had bad calls against them in midfield so that somehow justified Gough giving clear Galway fouls on Mayo as frees into Galway from kickable positions. (Sour grapes I know)
Cillian O’Connor took a great point too when he came on. Thought Boland was very quiet today. They’re a young team and they did great working themselves into good positions to disrupt Gleeson’s kickout. Biggest problem that needs to be sorted is converting more scores.

Matthew Ruane scored but we are still struggling so much on long kickouts because our midfield can't win their own ball. So they still aren't actually doing their primary job.

I did

Never a truer word….

Your middle paragraphs there are absolutely hilarious 😂. Dya want to watch back the RTE coverage and see the ball over the line for a Galway goal that inexplicably ended up in a free out? Or the free brought in from a 45 that was originally a wide ball? Or the hop ball given for zero reason that Tommy Conroy scored directly from? Or the Comer one on one called back for again no reason?

The fact that it was Lee Keegan on the coverage, making the point that Galway got rode, should tell you all you need to know about what happened

Ah whatever about decisions from the ref, the ball was never over the line, I don’t know how you can think it was .

You’re embarrassing yourself now.

Whatever about the other decisions that ball was never 100% over the line.

Enjoy the win and stop focusing on conspiracy

We have nobody to blame but ourselves

Making the same mistakes over and over again on and off the pitch .

What’s the definition of insanity?
