I know, I've listened to it and i've watched the footage in RTE back 5 or 6 times.

There is no upscuttling at anytime. The head on camera footage cuts away as Cillian is running behind Mick Fitzsimons, and the next view is of the field and Mick Fitzsimons is running grand and looking suitibly un-upscuttled. O'Connor (easy to spot as he has the ball) pulls away to his right and slowa down to a jog as far away from the Dublin lads as possible. The rest I could see myself. O'Shea charges ahead and is shoved by Bastick. Then O'Shea shoves McAuley who loops around to look for O'Shea, but composes himself and comes back for the team photo.

John Casey might have got a fright, but his report seems to be total tripe and sensationalised.

I'd agree with this too, I think the main person looking a bit silly out of the whole thing is John Casey to be honest.

No doubt the GAA will use it as an excuse to take a few euro off the Dublin county board, and fair enough if that's the rule for failing to keep to the programme order. Much ado about nothing though.

Still bad luck though.

Players get caught out all the time in games they just don't happen to be misfortunate enough for the ball to rebound off them into the back of the net.

The fact that the ball hit off both Mayo players and into the net was indeed bad luck in itself but on another day Dublin could have easily eliminated that bad luck by scoring themselves from the many chances we afforded them.

So, we were unlucky to score 2 OG's and extremely lucky that Dublin didn't score a few of their own accord. I've heard some fans talk about having some sort of a 6 point headstart in the replay because we won't concede OG's again, that's fooling ourselves imo.

TBH anybody who believes that it was bad luck that resulted in the two goals conceded yesterday is only kidding themselves.

It was as unfortunate a pair of goals as i have seen happen within 10 mins of each other to the same team. I'd say i have played north of 500 competitive gaelic football matches in my life and never seen own goals like that. It was 100% rotten luck and a huge amount (6 points) to merely hand over in an All Ireland Final. I'm glad the team didnt dwell on it (although the last 10 mins of the first half was our poorest spell) but it cannot be denied. If we had not come back and lost by a point we would be absolutely sick.

Fr Tod Umptious · 20-09-2016 9:43am

I'd love to know why Dublin were late on the first place andbwhy they requested to change the order of the in out.

Were they trying to play mind games with Mayo to try and show them that they called the shots ?

It was probably something note innocent like someone getting last minute treatment or something.

Past30Now · 20-09-2016 9:51am

The thinking was probably closer to "we'll go when were ready to go. They're not going to start the game without us". I doubt if it was mind games. Mayo were told they were going out second, and didn't fancy Dublin having the run of the place for three or four minutes, so started the run out as Dublin were finishing theirs. No big deal. Bit of pushing and shoving. Helped with the warm up.

Love the fact that it takes 24 hours to clear out most of the rubbish on both sides, and rational debate can restart.

Agree completely.

The replay starts at even and Mayo can take strength from the fact they outplayed Dublin for most of the match.

However, a thing that's still to be answered is how will Mayo perform when leading near the end of the game. Chasing the game, under any circumstances is a different pressure to leading and trying to either push on or hold what you have.

Had Dublin not scored the goals Mayo would of been leading. If Dublin were within 3 points with 10 mins to go, the pressure would be mounting on Mayo. How would they reach to being within touching distance of sam?

Personally I think it suited Mayo to be chasing the game and may of added fuel to the almost pedestrian like Dublin performance.

I mean, imagine playing in that game and thinking "Ok, we have never played this bad, haven't actually scored in 28 minutes, are still leading and we have a manager who always corrects things at HT, we will be grand". I'm not saying players would be thinking thinking directly but perhaps subconsciously it's reducing the drive factor by a few % that makes a huge difference at that level.

We won't know until sat week which team will take the most out of it. Can Dublin raise their game or will Mayo not let them? It's totally shaken up the precession it looked like being and makes for fascinating drama.

I hope you're wrong.

Fact is that most of us typing are fans of the GAA, involved in our clubs, and interested in all aspects of the games. When I type, I type with blue tinted glasses, but try to measure my responses with reason, and not just blind loyalty.

Bonniedog · 20-09-2016 11:04am

Looking at it again, Lane got most stuff right. O'Shea was lucky a few times, and some of "tackles" on Small were definitely borderline reds. But another ref would have sent MDM off for the clothesline. So neither team can make issue of ref.

Ger Canning said the Dubs were late coming out. I'd say the Mayo lads saw that the Dubs were delaying and their time came so they went out. Why would Mayo stall for the Dubs if the Dubs were to be first out and hadnt come out? If anything, keeping the players in past their allotted time was some mind games on the Dubs part. All nothing really.

John Casey's description of events just confirmed to me what i had been thinking all weekend. I am sick to my sh1te of Mayo GAA "personalities". First we have Martin Carney failing to keep his mouth shut on Friday. Why tell the press about McGuinness? Whose benefit was that for? Then David Brady making a complete eejit of himself on Newstalk on Saturday. Suddenly there is a narrative where Jim McGuinness, slayer of the Dubs, was providing help to the Mayo team. An unwanted story and one we should only be hearing about weeks after the game but out in the open because some of our "personalities" are excited.

As for Mort on Saturday night. Someone needs to tell that lad that an ability to form sentences is a prerequisite to being on the telly. You can smell the hunger for fame off him. His missus must be bored with the lack of limelight.

Bonniedog · 20-09-2016 11:55am

Sad anal rententive that I am, I was actually following the timetable in the programme.

Everything was two minutes behind time. Was not a question of any of the teams delaying or pulling fast ones, although I suspect that Mayo might have been planning for some such event, as in 2006. Definitely got impression that for one minute they were considering heading to the Hill!

I suspect also that Dubs broke from parade early with that in mind!

Anyway, as someone from Mayo said to me on Sunday "It's all great crack".

And so it is. 80 odd thousand people thrown together and not a dig thrown. It is truly unique. We don't appreciate it enough sometimes. I been at English games back in 90s and they were truly terrifying occasions. A good day was not having someone fk a bottle at you or try and smack you in the head.

And then head for the hill regardless of whether they're first or not, in honour of the 10th anniversary of Hillgate.

Jesus, if they are not living ten years ago, your dreaming about 65 years ago! Sweet Dreams, drag yourself into this decade when you are ready.

And you'll notice that that particular group of ego centred players completely ignored their manager during that clip. Such childish behaviour.

What was childish about it they warmed up at the Hill 16 end, so what? It appeared to upset the Dublin team on the day so perhaps had the desired affect.

The real question here is why would the Dublin team get upset if an opposition side warms up under Hill 16? Easy to upset them isn't it. Talk about being childish.

Is it? Have you polled the current All-Ireland Champions who have overcome the last 2 non-Dublin Champions this year to see if it would bother them?

Sure if it doesn't bother them, then there'll be no issue if Mayo warm up under Hill16 before the replay on Saturday week so.

As a Dub I really don't care much for that stuff, doesn't bother me and isn't worth investigating. Teams get up to all sorts of cynical sh*t before during and sometimes after games.

Its really only relevant when the Hypocrisy police start picking on individual players like Connolly and other Dublin "antics" with a double standard toothcomb.

If mayo going down to the hill pre match unsettles this Dublin team then they aren't really as mentally tough or composed as you would expect from the All Ireland Champs

Couldn't give a **** about the head to heads here lads but why are the words 'rattled' and Dublin always in the same sentence? Its never used for anyone else just the Dublin players and now their supporters. Its just weird.

DDC1990 · 20-09-2016 5:41pm

Had good fun analyzing the Bastick/AOS/MDMA hokey pokey coming onto the field.

First of all the official at the Mayo side of the tunnel should lose his job. Why he decided it would be good to wave Mayo into the tunnel while Dublin were still running out is a mystery! All he needs to do is hold his hand out for 30 seconds longer and nothing happens.

Then the shoving! It seems clear that Bastick started the whole pushing game with Aidan O'Shea, shoving him before O'Shea shoved back. Then shoved him again (which they caught on Slow Motion camera and showed briefly before Conor Mortimor did his sideline interview), and O'Shea then took it out on McAuley (which isn't on camera but it was pretty clear from the stands). McAuley is ready to rumble, but somebody (maybe Bastick himself) grabs him and brings him towards the photo, while the two exchange words.

Still 3 guys shoving with over to 60 players and officials coming down the tunnel at the same time is not a bad ratio at all. Fines would be silly, perhaps a small fine for Dublin for delaying in the first place, but it's an All Ireland Final! 5 minutes over, when you are at your seasons goal shouldn't really be punished IMO.

Bastick pushed AOS first which can be seen from the TV footage of both teams entering. Not that there was much in either push from either player. Move on.

TCDStudent1 · 20-09-2016 6:17pm

A question for the referees (or those more knowledgeable about the rules): you know the way that Connolly / Keegan have 'history' - is the referee supposed to take that into account in a match. For example, if Connolly & Keegan are involved in anything early on the next day, I can see the referee giving a yellow because it is them (and I can certainly see the logic in it). Whereas if it was another 2 players involved, he might give a warning. I am just curious if the referees are supposed to take into consideration stuff that has happened in previous matches.

Weirdly I am getting less confident of a Mayo win the next day (even though I backed it yesterday at 5/2). I just think the Dublin forwards have much more room for improvement than the Mayo forwards. Dublin were 3 points ahead going into injury time despite playing woeful football. If they get some momentum the next day, they could do serious damage. Brogan is not the player he was but he will not blank the next day. Rock was dropping balls and taking frees off the ground on a very greasy surface, he has to cop on and up his game. McMenamin and Flynn were absent without leave and will want to make an impact. Kilkenny held things together towards the end but he will know he needs to be more of a scoring threat. I'll let Connolly and Keegan play their stupid game.

Mayo should come on from their first full blooded match in a long time - bring on their match sharpness, confidence and belief in their system.

I dont think Flynn will improve. A dry day might help Brogan but I expect little from him

Rock will improve I reckon

Two own goals that came from dublin slicing the Mayo defence like lemons and general panic around a slippy ball

Could have been two more via the same route only for fine stops from Clarke

Stop kidding yourself with own goals thing.

True but Mayo levelled half way through the second half. Crucially they did not take the lead.
