Replying To Fionn:  "They have met 2 of the same teams Dublin met - and kerry have been a lot more impressive in both...."
So no Div 1 team in Championship yet. Got it.

Replying To MayoDan:  "Fenton blocked O'Donoghue from kicking with his left calf. There's a crystal clear photo on sports file.

If he had dived on O'Donoghues boot hands first there would be no issue. However he put his leg across to block the kick. That's a clear foul.

Also O'Donoghue clearly was kicking from his hands so not sure what your point is there?"
Do you not know when to stop?

Mayo got a free that many believe was not a free and a 45 that was certainly not a 45. As one of your countymen above said - although I disagree with his ref assessment - both sides got soft decisions and were on wrong side of poor decisions.

It was great game to watch and no point in dwelling on any of that.

Mayo, Tyrone, Cork & Galway to go through. (More likely that 3 out of those 4 will go through, which 3? who knows)

The draw Monday morning will then have a big bearing on the championship.

If Mayo do come through, and face Armagh or Donegal, they have a slim chance. If they face Kerry, no chance.

Tyrone & Cork will lose their q-final. Galway, depends on the draw, but good chance they'll get Dublin, good luck in that event.

Kerry Dublin could meet in the semis. That would make the semis interesting.


Dublin, my favourites to win it out, and next years, and the year after, and the year after that.

Replying To ForeverBlue2:  "The ref didn't get involved…? Did he not over rule a perfectly good call by the umpire to give Mayo a 45 to level the game late on… The ball was clearly wide… the umpire saw it and waved it wide… Mayo played very well and deserved something out of the game but the referee was poor…."
The umpire quite clearly made the call

In my first comment I said there were bad calls on both sides, the same as every game. Yet some people took issue with that

Replying To GreenandRed:  "I thought Fenton got a hand to it until I saw it last night. Brilliant block.

It was a category III infraction - cynical behaviour
5.17 to behave in any way that is dangerous to an opponent

It could also be viewed as a foot block as he led with his foot, he was just fortunate it didn't hit the foot

Either way he cleaned O Donoghue out in a very dangerous tackle - a block in football is done with the hands


That bad call by the ref also resulted in the first bit of crowd trouble I have ever witnessed in person at a GAA match.
The Dublin crowd behind the town end started rowing with the young Mayo lads and the Gardai had to get involved.

There were a few behind me getting really angry over any one from Mayo objecting to a refs bad call against Mayo.

The Dubs are used to getting home town decisions in croker and having the Leinster teams just lying down and take it. Really don't like it when another team or supporters stand up for themselves

Replying To sligo joe:  "No the referee was correct actually and was only a couple of metres away. There was no tackle with his leg or otherwise. Fenton is stretching both hands forward to attempt a block and O'Donoghue kicks the ball against the back of Fenton's leg. No foul play."
Nope you are wrong. You can't cut across a player when he is in the process of striking a ball. If you hit the ball away it's legal, otherwise it is not. The ref panicked. If it was 10 metres further out he gives a free in all day long.

You must have been at a different match to the rest of us. Crowd trouble?

The two vital decisions went Mayo's way, but you seem intent - unlike Dublin people here - in inventing a narrative about an earlier incident. Move on.

100% agree was a seriously dangerous tackle on Ryan O D and we are so lucky he wasn't badly injured. Should have been a card for Fenton and a penalty for us.

Dubs don't like it when they don't get all the calls from refs and the amount of childish giving out they are doing at the moment over the game is pathetic thru can't take it when they are really tested and nearly beaten to used to getting it handy and beating teams out the gate...

That says a lot about you.

It was dangerous tackle end of ye can't just say fair play ye put it up to us the first proper test we've had all year but oh no have to moan about the refs if anyone is to be annoyed about the refs calls it's mayo and that awful tackle by Fenton.

It had been a mayo player doing that tackle on a dubs forward we would have been at least black carded no question about it.

But jesus it's laughable that people can't see what Fenton did was a foul. You cannot cut across a player like that when he is in the action of shooting. You can put your hand in but you have to hit the ball away. Otherwise it's a foul.

If you can't "go" across the line of a player then all blocks are illegal so you are talking BS and there is nothing in the rule book in line with what you say. Fenton did not foot block or attempt to foot block and made no contact with Ryan. The Mayo player moved right and kicked the ball against Fenton's hamstring area. Ironically the same Mayo player "gained" a free in injury time when he again went to ground with absolutely no contact from Fitzsimmons.

The ref was a couple of metres away, the umpires a few metres away and I don't remember Mayo players running after the ref screaming for a red card and a penalty. I didn't see the Sun Game but did McStay express his disgust at the decision? I think Lee Keegan calls it "a text book tackle" on the SG and let's face it, he'd know. Maybe Lee is wrong and the Mayo armchair experts are right. As Tuco said in the Good, the bad and the ugly. "When you gotta shoot, shoot"

All blocks are illegal? Do you know what a block is lad? Also for the 10th time i never said Fenton attempted a foot block. I already said that previously but sure feel free to keep ranting about a foot block.

Also ROD was up and away from Fitz at the end, not his fault he was called back. By the way there was a little push in the back, feel free to watch it back.
