A peculiar mixture of relief and annoyance.

Relief that we're still in.

Annoyance that we let Mayo off the hook through either through complacency or over confidence or a mixture of both. 7 Points up with less than 10 minutes to play. No excuses.

I'd no idea RO'C was stitched up. I knew it was bad but wasnt sure it ws that bad.

I'd say Gavin will let fly at them this week

The 2 black cards really changed the game today.

The first one in our favour and the second swung the game against us.

MDM was woeful today. We really picked up when he went off for Bastic.

Bastics black card was ludicrous and gave Mayo a stranglehold on the game.

What happened to Cluxton in thise last 10 minutes? He completely lost the plot and bery nearly cost us the game. Very strange as I haven't seen that from him in a long time.

It was obvious to anyone that he wasnt up to it today. He just didnt look right.

Cluxton was awful. The chance he gave away at the end that almost cost a goal was laughable. You'd get a rollicking if you did that in a junior 12 game.

MDM brought the art of running around like a headless chicken fouling people to a whole new level.

Cluxton reminded of those brainfarts he was prone to in the 00's, especially when playing Tyrone. Still have nightmares about that one particular semi against them where he almost single handed threw the game away.

DoctaDee · 30-08-2015 08:38PM

Well that was disappointing - a game we should've won at a canter, we ended happy with a draw - it would've been a travesty to have lost tho.

ProudDUB · 30-08-2015 08:39PM

I'm still not able to wrap my head around what happened today. I mean WHAT THE ACTUAL FCUK ????? :eek:

Moneymaker · 30-08-2015 08:41PM

I'm really disappointed with the lads today. Some of the cynical carry on was a disgrace, frankly. Gavin's words all these years about "playing the right way" ring very hollow now.

On a positive note, Kilkenny was an absolute joy to watch today, in the first half especially.

danjo-xx · 30-08-2015 08:49PM

I'm glad it was a draw in the end after that display, so hopefully another match before meeting Kerry will stand to us.

ArielAtom · 30-08-2015 08:52PM

Talking to two big Kerry supporters earlier and them saying this is what we needed, a wake up call!!! They'd have preferred a 7 point win for either side would be better. Hopefully we re group and deliver!!!

Well when you have one of your players taken off the ball in the first few minutes and no action by the officals it sets the tone for the rest of the game.

By the way I'd say we were sloppy in the tackle area today, more so than cynical.

salmocab · 30-08-2015 09:03PM

A pox on them I had a fiver on Connolly to score first goal and Dublin to win, someone owes me fifty big ones, looks like homemade sangwiches all week for salmocab in work

Kerry boys will be licking their chops. As poor as we were at least there was some threat in open play .. there is very little positives in that Mayo front 6. I think we've hit the wall with paralysis by analysis in this current season - it was clear as the nose on yer face that they're a better team than Mayo but are hindered in fully expressing themselves.

I reckon we should win next week but thats at 6 days remove, last week I was confident but this morning I was well nervous. Obvious enough but if we are were we think we are then we need to be winning these games.

CurryFlavoured · 30-08-2015 09:14PM

Did anyone actually see the ROC incident?

Slattsy · 30-08-2015 09:18PM

Thought the ref def favoured Mayo. He was poor overall but we got the brunt of it for sure.

Been saying it for a while now, MDmc is finished. Absolutely useless.
Thought Philly Mc was out of order. We were called cynical in match thread, among other things, but I think he was the only one at it. Cooper made one silly tackle.

Almost too much focus on defense today. We had to tighten up but I think Gavin has over done it.

We'll miss Connolly. I assume he threw a dig or someone thought he did anyway. Was hoping Flynn would step up, he did ok but he's better than that and really needs to get points on the board instead of always looking for the Hollywood balls.

Got tickets for the replay there. Wasn't missing that.

ThunbergsAreGo · 30-08-2015 09:19PM

My da spoke to a good few from that end, said there is consensus and it was definitly O Connor, no agreement on if it was a first or an elbow

Nah I was too high up to give any objective view of the incident - but I'll tell ya one thing, I've always liked Philly as a footballer but he has huge respect from me for the defensive performance he put in today ... I was astonished how well he played AOS

Funny, he has no respect from me. Another thuggish performance, saw the headbutt (although it was half arsed) and supposedly he threw a few punches during the foul for the mayo penalty. It completely tainted a good performance, done with defending him.

ProudDUB · 30-08-2015 09:31PM

I'm not going to defend Philly as such. BUT when you see O'Connor swing his elbow at Rory, (which I did, as it happened right in front of me) and he has to leave the field concussed & bleeding from a head wound that needs 10 stitches, BUT SWEET EFF ALL HAPPENS TO O'CONNOR, EVEN THOUGH IT HAPPENED RIGHT IN FRONT OF TWO UMPIRES......well, you'll forgive me if I fail to join in the Phily McMahon witch hunt ! :mad:

Past30Now · 30-08-2015 09:31PM

I wasn't happy with the ref, but that was through blue tinted glasses. The amount of mouthing off those lads did during the match was a joke. The ref continually penalised them the ten yards, and they still kept at it.

Philly's defending was magnificent. I'd didn't see the headbutt (yet- TSG has just started),so I'll reserve judgement. The game today (other than injuries) can only do us good. If we'd won that by 10 points, Kerry would have murdered us.

Roll on next week.

Something like that sets the tone of the game

The umpires are absolutely useless

Umpires are just the refs mates up for a free dinner and a few pints. Worse than useless.

Philly always plays close to the edge. He skirted the rules today but no more so than AOS, who seemed to spend the entire game going around looking for a row. Sure he rugby tackled Cluxton (clear black card) and struck Philly with a forearm right in front of the ref with no action taken.

Slattsy · 30-08-2015 09:42PM

For the record, I thought Philly owned AOS today. He just can't seem to help himself.

Any chance that ROC incident was caught on camera?

Final thoughts. I think that match would have done us the world of good. It will have brought us on big time getting a proper test. Because our last one was a full year ago.

Everything must be caught on camera in this day and age

ProudDUB · 30-08-2015 09:47PM

The RO'C incident may well have been picked up by one of the RTE cameras in the stadium, but it wasn't shown on the broadcast feed, so we the public don't get to see it on our tellys. The CCCC may have access to all of RTE's camera footage, not just the stuff that was broadcast. I certainly hope so !

Sure they had footage of a clear strike on Murphy but still managed to overturn the ban. I wouldn't be holding out to much hope to be honest.

Who would you play on AOL if ROC is out? AOL should read AOS

mjp · 30-08-2015 09:57PM

Any word on in tickets will be available online on tickets.ie for replay. Will they be at reduced prices similar to final replays from last year?

Stick Philly on him again.
