    People suggesting playing in Limerick are referencing the 2014 semi-final fiasco.

    I wouldn't have thought I'd have to explain such an obvious joke but there you go.

    Had no issues with the ref apart from MDMA's neck breaking tackle on Cillian O'Connor, which he should have had more than a yellow for. Other than that, I think he did well and got the calls right. For a first time all Ireland final ref, I think he had a great show.

    I think minor teams get 8000 tickets each, so it'll be a bit easier next time out. Apart from that usual sources.

    Think it's a lot less than that.

    Mayo and Kerry got less than 5,000 each AFAIK.

    Thought the ref was decent enough. Considering the conditions I think that he did well enough and he was fair to both teams.

    Need to watch it back tonight but they are my initial thought on the ref.

    Why oh why is the replay on at five o clock on a Saturday? Very unfair on people to travel back to mayo late at that hour.

    Why can't they play it on Sunday 2nd at 330.
    Will the prices be reduced for the replay?

    Tickets for replays are usually €50 and €25 for the Hill

    That was for hurling replays.
    I can't see them dropping too much for a football replay.

    He was abysmal, and he has form

    Watch the build up to the first dublin goal and wonder what a mayo player would have to do in front of him to be given a black.

    Compare with McCarthys sending off

    I thought it was a black card alright. Hardly a neck break though, come on. I think the ref knew he got James Mccarthys black card wrong.

    Evens out (sort of) but both wrong calls and there were more for both sides, I'm not sure I agree he had a great game.

    Did I miss something? Thought McCrathy's black was 100% correct. To deliberately collide with a player off the ball is the definition of a black card.

    It looked bad in the replays but no way was it a black card in my book. He had made a run and continued it. He was very hard done by.

    Don't know if this Mayo team will ever win an all Ireland. Everything went against them today bar Dublin playing poorly. MDMA should have gotten black for his first half trip, then should has seen red for his assault on COC. How the officials missed Connollys punches to Keegan head is a mystery also. Keegan is a tool too but he didn't lash out like Connolly. And then two awful own goals.
    They could put it up to Dublin again in two weeks but you'd have to feel the ambush was gone. Had COC missed the equaliser the two better teams on the day would have walked out of Croker without the minor or senior titles.

    compounded then by 2 or 3 identical situations going unpunished. no consistency

    Great you saw that so clearly. Would love to know what you think of the 4 occasions caught on camera of Keegan blocking Connolly off the ball?

    or even to comment on one of them occasions, and why no black card was issued?

    I am assuming you watched the whole match.

    Unless it's pure greed. Nothing would suprise me about the gaa.

    All Ireland day is a very expensive day for anyone bringing a family to the game.

    You cant just run into another player though. You have to run around them.

    I can't understand why Paddy Andrews doesn't start for Dublin,hoping he won't start the next day.

    Demand basically.

    Hurling finals have just about managed to sell out in recent years, demand for replays is generally much less so the price is reduced significantly to make it more attractive.
    I remember in 96 there was much more tickets floating for the replay despite Croke Park holding about 20,000 less.

    A couple of other reasons would be less people coming from overseas and no minor match, although also back in 96 they had the genius idea of slotting in the replay of the minor hurling final!! as a curtain raiser.

    They have still sold out though and they would have sold out if the ticket price was €80. I would definitely be expecting a reduced price the next day. When Galway & Kilkenny drew in the hurling a couple of years ago, it was much harder to find tickets for the replay for some reason.

    Reduced absolutely, I would expect so too.

    Can't see it dropping to 50 though, 60 at best most likely.

    Hopefully I'm wrong!!

    Who'll referee the replay.
    Maybe Padraig Hughes or Eddie kinsella

    Dreadful stuff. In my 10 years watching the dubs I haven't seen much worse.

    Which is worse as barring a stupid DC sideline we woulda the game. Although I'm still wondering how we were ahead in that game and how mayo haven't smashed us. I suppose two own goals in a final is so very much Mayo.

    We surely can't be as bad in the replay. Paddy Andrews and Mannion start. We win by a few surely. Bastick for headless MDMA too perhaps.
