That was some block by Small wasn't it? Some composure and balls from a young lad who probably watched last years semifinal from the Hill.

Great anticipation to get back on the line. Thought he did well when he came on.

Big shout out to Mick Fitz as well thought he had a really solid game.

Same as in the match thread, keep it civil and within the forum charter - report any obvious trolls or posts you feel are outside the forum charter, do not engage with them

ProudDUB · 30-08-2015 10:23PM

No problem with the panelists high lighting cynical play from both sides, but the way that they kept on harping on about Philly & just glossed over Rorys injury was outrageous. Philly is no angel, but none of the players he got overly involved with, left the pitch concussed, with blood pouring from a gaping head wound. Jesus wept !!!!

And then he gets their MOTM to add to the insult!

I apologize for not replying to that in an honest and heartfelt manner, or expressing my opinion on what a fine, upstanding human being Cillian O'Connor may or may not be.

I'd get banned if I did. :mad::mad::mad:

DoctaDee · 30-08-2015 10:34PM

JOD got a MOTM for running around against Cork and O'Connor for kicking frees

.. tho if I'm perfectly honest it would've been hard to pick 3 candidates no one stood out

corny · 30-08-2015 10:36PM

I think i'll stick to the hurling next year.:p Game is about 10-15 years the soccer but its going the same way. Dishonest to the core. Not for me.

McStay had a lot to say about McMahon but casually avoided COC forcing O'Carroll off. Gave him MOTM too.

Keith Higgins was magnificent.

In o connor's defense he was being pulled and held back by R o C and o connor swung back in retaliation to get away from him and caught him in the eye in the process. Can't compare it to Phillys where he knew exactly what he was doing and what he did is undedendable

ProudDUB · 30-08-2015 10:41PM

The silly stupid stuff Philly did is taking centre stage & that's a shame, as he did a great job keeping AO'S quiet. It was all the more impressive considering the job landed in his lap unexpectedly when Rory went off injured. AO'S even being considered for Man of the Match was ridiculous.

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

CurryFlavoured wrote: »

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.

Yup just watched TSG and see what yer talking about re Philly off the ball - I didn't catch it at the game and certainly don't condone it. However my original point on his outstanding display on AOS stands

Rubbish, the elbow went back at an angle and raised up, so that it would make contact with RO'C face. Tugging your arm free is one thing, but if your elbow winds up up around someones eye socket, that takes premeditation.

Just for arguments sake what is your opinion of Connollys red then? Assuming we both agree Keegan initiated the altercation and headlocked Connolly to the ground. Is defending yourself against pre meditated provocation acceptable in both cases?

Hulk Hands · 30-08-2015 10:59PM

Im after beating the system there and got 4 Upper Cusack for the replay. If anyone doesn't want to go through the rigmarole of getting tickets, i'll swap all 4 for 2 tickets for the hurling final

CurryFlavoured · 30-08-2015 11:05PM

Connollys red seems harsh but Christ he drives me mad - he knows that its one punch thrown and game over but he still does it. Yes he is definitely targeted but he initiates things as well (pinned Diarmuid OC down for no reason at all). Hard to feel sympathy for him from a neutral POV but we're a better team when he plays. Still don't feel he gets the best out of himself, he went long periods doing nothing today.

Straight red and lengthy ban but of course he wont get it.

He wasn't being pulled back when he swung his arm at ROC and deliberately clocked him, the fact he needed 10 stitches says it all about the force and intention that he was swinging with

McMahon on the other hand, WAS being pulled out of it by two Mayo players and the video still does'nt show any clear headbutt, he was being pulled forward at the time.

But yeah, do carry on

BonnieSituation · 31-08-2015 12:06AM

So my fellow ST holders, what's the suss for us?

I'm just rewatching the match now.

CurryFlavoured · 31-08-2015 12:08AM

Just seen it, not a red for Cillian IMO. Not a chance he's banned and its fair enough.

Unless there's some need to even things out which I wouldn't discount.

Nidgeweasel · 31-08-2015 01:03AM

What has Connolly actually done!!? I've still not seen it?

BonnieSituation · 31-08-2015 01:08AM

Just finished watching the first half thete again. Haven't seen the "COC on ROC" incident so can't say anything about it.

But I think McQuillan got all the big calls right in that half. Thought that today too. The penalty was understandably given in real-time. Another reason that we need a TMO.

MDMA looked better live than in the rewatch. Didn't I say my seats were ****e today?

Dublin gifted 3 points to Mayo for dissent. Stupid play. And McCarthy tackling COC at the end of the half for Mayo's 7th point was absolutely outrageous. He was on his own and there were 3 Dublin lads in support.

All came from a stupid Paul Flynn hit and hope with 20sec left in the half when we should have just held on and waited for the ref to blow up.

Anyway... Everything else was talked about. Second half up now...

RoyalCelt · 31-08-2015 01:15AM

I wonder will ROC stop fouling opposition forwards non stop now for the entire match.

Honestly if I was hanging out of someone for am entire match I'd expect a clip.

It just feels wrong doing it and I hate the way so many defenders at County level do.

After listening to wheelo on the sunday game we need a ref in each half and a TMO for big calls be it penos or off the ball incidents. B

Also linesmen need to be more proactive.

Chaos was the best word to describe today. Thoroughly enjoyed it but it highlights the age old frustrations we have with the GAA.

Mayo Dublin has turned into one of the top GAA rivalries, all started on that day in 2006.

Here's to another belter in the replay next week!

I did the same thing and came to the same conclusion. The referee got nearly every decision correct. Even the non decisions where he allowed play to continue he got correct. I'm normally well up for a ref bash but i thought he did well considering how tough the players made the game to ref.

Just on Flynn. Couple of high profile errors but his ability to spot a pass from deep set up more than one score. Noticed everything was into the Cusack Stand side in the first half. Rock didn't create an option once.

What about replays? If a replay is required, the purchaser will be charged for the replay at the same price as the drawn match. If the Opening Championship fixture is drawn the relevant stadium area charge less €5.00 will be charged for adult Season Tickets and the relevant stadium area charge for juveniles will be charged.

Don't take that comment about Flynn as a complete critique of his game. I thought he was brilliant today. His best performance of the season. But there's two incidents today that stuck out that cost us 2 points that the Flynner from last year wouldn't have done... The hit and hope as discussed and the "Hollywood" point attempt that he should have just stroked over.

Anyway... Second half on now...

O'Connor was being pulled by the jersey from behind. Look at it again in real time. In the rules of the game, with the full replay available ROC would be gone on a black card before O'Connor swung anything - without looking- which your incorrect assertion implies.
There were no angels on the field today but you can't say Dublin were hard done by.
Had Dublin been more disciplined today, I would be congratulating you on your passage to the Final. It was that indiscipline that let you down and nothing else. You genuinely can't be as indisciplined as Dublin were today and not expect to be punished either with free count or scoreline.

The man needs to be pulled to the ground for a black card. A jersey tug is a yellow card.

Yellow card then. Point stands.
