two big injuries for Kerry

If cork start taking their goal chances there could be a big shock in store

km79 · 31-05-2025 05:25PM

that’s a huge score

Wind or no wind Kerry have it all to do here

Cork putting in a performance against Kerry shouldn’t be seen as a shock anymore.

I’d be more shocked if they did it against anyone else 😅

Kerry should win with that wind behind them in the second half. Cork will be ruing a bad start.

Plenty problems for Kerry, key injuries, wiped out on kickouts at both sides, Cork getting through the defence so easily. If Cork could get a goal, it could make things very interesting.

km79 · 31-05-2025 05:45PM

Kerry came out the worst of that double black as well

Big boost for cork

km79 · 31-05-2025 05:45PM

Geaney gone off injured too!!

km79 · 31-05-2025 05:49PM

Two point frees for technical breaches just have to go

Ridiculously harsh

Complete nonsense and another one just here. No need of it at all.

robbiezero · 31-05-2025 05:56PM

2 points for that. FFS.

robbiezero · 31-05-2025 05:57PM

Clifford the difference between the 2 teams.

New Scottman · 31-05-2025 05:57PM

Down doing well. I thought they were just there to make up the numbers.

Ruining this game

Moving a ball 50m for nothing is annoying too

km79 · 31-05-2025 06:12PM

Down surely have a strong breeze?

robbiezero · 31-05-2025 06:16PM

BIg change in attitude this half from Kerry. Much more aggressive tackling and they have easily put this one to bed.

gormdubhgorm · 31-05-2025 07:44PM

What was Niall Morgan at? Nice lead for Mayo at HT. The question now is will Mayo hold on to that lead?

threeball · 31-05-2025 08:10PM

Ryan O Donoghue is awful. He had one or two middling seasons but he's generally a poor shooter and doesn't contribute much from open play bar fouls and turnovers. The frees are padding out his record.

Quiet Achiever · 31-05-2025 08:25PM

You might be right.

O'Shea is a magnet for abuse but he still has a lot of influence. Maybe the most possession tonight.

robbiezero · 31-05-2025 08:28PM

Terrible miss from Kearney there. 5 up would have been big.

O'Shea always puts in a shift. Himself, Ruane and Durkin are Mayos most reliable players. This new O Brien lad looks useful. The rest are limited workhorses.

robbiezero · 31-05-2025 08:41PM

Brilliant win for Mayo. Chaotic game which suited them. Had to dig deep when Tyrone came at them and got the goal in the 2nd half, it they responded and fully deserving winners.

Very Likely all teams on 2 going into last round.

gormdubhgorm · 31-05-2025 08:42PM

Great win for Mayo, looked like they were going to fold at about 50 minutes. But Mayo got a penalty.

Quiet Achiever · 31-05-2025 08:47PM

Most entertaining and energetic performance from Mayo in quite a while. Fun to watch.

First half of cork kerry was fun. Hope Dublin Armagh is fun too.

Good call.

C__MC · 31-05-2025 08:48PM

Called it two weeks mayo would beat tyrone. Rochford gives them a big edge.

castletownman · 31-05-2025 08:50PM

Assuming Donegal beat Cavan, that group is going to be insanely tight final round

Don't agree. he is one of the more reliable of Mayo's forwards; aside from the scores he does get, look how many link-ups he's involved in also. If the rest did as much… Even the last score tonight, when the hooter went, he didn't just boot it out of play, he played on and set up another score which could all count towards score-difference.

MFPM · 31-05-2025 09:53PM

I didn't see that Mayo victory coming - Tyrone were so off it tonight. The AI is very open, the pundits are very quick each week to write teams in and out of contention - Tyrone beat Donegal, then lose to Mayo who lost to Cavan, Dublin lose to Meath then beat Galway. Kerry, the favorites but who've played nobody of note so hard to judge.

Really interesting to see what happens tomorrow - Galway could be effectively out tomorrow if they lose to Derry…

keane2097 · 31-05-2025 09:57PM

Jeez Aidan O'Shea was great this evening. Some servant.

I can’t remember who the poster was on here who said (after Cavan beat Mayo) that it would be just like Mayo if they beat Tyrone, and Donegal.
But others laughed at the idea. Including me! That poster is half way to be proven right!
