    I think Donegal were tactically beaten today, it was always going to be a game of attacking not defending, goals were going to happen, and having committed so many men back Donegal had no attacking threat really.

    If you're going to play it defensively at least double mark Mayo's forwards infront of goal.

    Gob****e Gough. Awful decision. Murphy should have got a 2nd yellow in any case.

    Murphy true to form. Hits the lad two inches lower gets away with it. Something coldly cynical with that fella i've always disliked.

    Seems harsh alright but it was dumb by Keane. No Christmas cards for Murph from the Keane household.

    Murphy should have been booked, but that was idiotic from Keane! So stupid to lash out no matter what's done to you.

    Some of Mayo's finishing was worrying, CO'C doesn't look sharp at all

    But overall a comfortable win
    Great goal by Aidan O'Shea

    Any/all hands to the face/head are straight reds. Maybe the rule doesn't extend down as far as the neck. I think the only people with the right to complain today about refereeing would be Monaghan re: Tiernan McCanns hairdo incident

    Let's be honest, he won't play v Dub. The commentator was trying to make it out as a massive loss.

    Would still fancy Dublin in the semi but Mayo have a great equaliser in A O'Shea. Always a chance of just lumping a ball in his general direction and he can go and win it, throw defenders off him and bury it in the net.

    Yup and then appoint another Meath ref to truly stick the knife in against the Dubs. At least it keeps Meath relevant in the latter stages of the championship i guess :)

    Murphy grabbed player by neck - he's already being booked, yet he doesn't get a second yellow.

    Keane shouldnt have reacted. The game was won. Silly behaviour and now it has cost him, regardless of Murphy's punishment

    Its a stupid rule though. The cold, calculating manner in which Murphy tried and succeeded in provoking a reaction is a far more deplorable act imo.

    70 mins gone the only thing he was achieving was preventing Keane from playing in the semi.

    I agree, all these events should be taken in context instead of applying one general rule to all unique situations. However that is how the GAA see's fit to run the sport. You don't like it, complain to them.

    Not trying to justify Murphy's actions, but I doubt he went with the intention of preventing Keane from playing in the semi. He probably lashed out the same way Keane did (and shouldn't have, especially since Keane had nothing to be riled up about given his team had already won essentially.) These situations happen in the GAA all the time, tensions and emotions will boil over, and it's up to the other players involved to keep their discipline and not give a reaction. Keane didn't have the proper discipline and lashed out at Murphy in response in what could be considered an even worse offence than Murphys and he was punished for it.

    I agree. Murphy didn't make anything of it. But he still swung at him however light.

    Strike or attempt to strike.

    Very silly, though it didn't harm anyone.

    So what was his intention of grabbing him by the neck when the ball was dead and time was up - taking out his frustration and hoping for a reaction - when the reaction came - he started pointing at the umpires highlighting the incident.

    Agreed. A man lost in the altercation would immediately grab Keane not drop it and run to the umpire.

    Poor Keane was had and the rules completely justify it. Not right.

    Id say he just wanted to hit someone or push someone, sure dont we all when tensions run high and your frustration comes to a front.
    Not everyone is in on this big conspiracy to make Mayo lose the All Ireland you know, most players aren't criminal masterminds trying to get players disqualified for future games.

    Donegal at least know now where they stand. There has been an awful lot of talk about how fantastic they are this year by deluded posters who couldnt see the signs.

    Mayo were fanstastic today. However, they took their foot off the gas. They had finished off Donegal 10 minutes into the second half. For that Donegal should be thankful as it could have been a right thumping if they had seen the game out clinically. The scoreboard in no way displays Mayo's dominance today.

    Mayo vs Dublin semi will be a right hummdinger.

    In the first game a Tyrone player (McNamee) was caught punching a Monaghan player (McManus), gets a yellow card

    But I still find it hard to have sympathy for Keane, he knows the rules, the referee is entitled to apply them

    Completely neutral here but surely this has to be Mayo's year. They seem to have learned from the hard lessons dished out to them in the past from donegal and kerry last year.

    Have to admire the way they play the game too mixing the short with the long - always willing to have a cut. Tough but fair and have learned to be cynical when needed.
