That’s a very good Mayo side, some good forwards who can take some points and a big physical and athletic side.
They are a much better side than Dublin but they very nearly threw it away and a couple of incorrect decisions from the referee broke in their favour which decided the outcome.
It was a free but you have just become acustomed to Dublin being allowed tackle illegally.
Duirmuid O’ Connor, who’s leadership was questionable for 20 mins of 2nd half, came good at the end.
Would have rathered Dublin to be honest should we get there. Mayo will match Corks physicality up front and i would worry about our backs against the big Mayo players
There were a few questionable decisions going the other way too
There was. He is a shit ref. Nobody be efits from clow s like that getting big games.
The bulk of them went with Mayo, particularly in the last 10 minutes. Mayo scored quite a few points from frees in the latter stages of the games.
They were the better team and showed character to come back but the referee had an impact in favour of Mayo.
Serious choke from Dublin to lose a 4 point lead with 8 minutes to go without conceding a goal.
Best of luck to Monaghan but I’d fear about their physicality, hopefully Dinky has a trick up his sleeve.
Lovely scores from both sides
The last two Mayo frees which decided the game were both incorrect decisions.
For the first one Diarmuid O’Connor grabbed a hold of the Dublin player - definite free out.
For the deciding free, O’Connor merely fell over. The throw ball which immediately preceded it should have been a free-out, and immediately before that a Mayo player took eight or nine steps with the ball which should also have been a free-out.
Obviously O’Connor should have had a free when he went through seven or eight minutes before that, but it doesn’t take away from the fact that two wrongly awarded frees decided the game in Mayo’s favour.
Whinge Whinge…
McGinn looks a player.
Nonsense. Both clearly frees and only balanced up a dreadful series of frees the ref gave dublin.
At all levels dublin are allowed illegally tackle.
There were more incorrect decisions in favour of Dublin in the closing stages than just the O’Connor one on the far side if the pitch
I’ve watched them back in detail, and you’re talking nonsense.
Monaghan full back line can’t handle the size of the Cork full forward line.
I’m not. They pulled from behind. If you played the game you would know the ref gives them always.
It was indiscipline from Dublin. Simple as.
That should have been a penalty to Monaghan.
Lolz. Such a predictable response, too.
Cork no. 13 is a donkey.
Are you for real?
Class act. Only 18/19
He has made around 1-3 and scored 2 good points
