All Ireland SFC SF Mayo v Kerry 24/08 3.30pm RTE 2 HD, Sky Sports 3 HD

VanDinkle

The ref is far too quick with the whistle especially for so called holding on. Aidan o Shea will have to calm down. He is getting involved in afters.

Coldrick is losing control of this

He's having a total nightmare of a game.

Ref ruining the flow. Mayo giving Kerry loads of space and walking themselves into pressure situations instead of taking the easy route.

Rightwing

Very poor standard. Hard for the ref. Players are running into other players,,and somehow hoping they will miraculously disappear. :rolleyes:

Slattsy

Lovely point that on the turn.

intellectual dosser

Big half time team talk from Horan required.

rebel girl 15

Very hard game to referee when there is so much pulling and dragging. He'll be slatted by some on here for having a nightmare and not picking up things, and others here saying he is too whistle happy - he can't win.

Needs to get his cards out and it will stop fairly quickly

Dyr

How is Aidan o Shea not booked yet?

Couldn't agree. Fabulous foot passing, great movement and challenges. Only thing letting this game down is the fluidity of scoring

Slattsy

I'd be quicker than AOS running backwards.

Da Shins Kelly

Mayo not winning enough in midfield, where they really should be on top.

Say Your Number

Jaysus :eek:

Very harsh red

aveytare

Joke of a decision. Still stupid from Keegan.

Molester Stallone II

Red card:
He gave the referee an excuse to send him off

Nib

Lee Keegan, you absolute moron.

Lapin

Dublin team must be licking their lips watching this shíte.

It will be an easy final for them on this form.



Straight red - Jesus that was too fucking harsh for that. :mad:

Lucifer MorningStar

Never a red

TCDStudent1

Should have been yellow.

But stupid from Keegan.

megadodge

Absolutely ridiculous. Another 'soccer' decision.

VanDinkle

Stupidity.

You dont kick out at a player like that,.

Harry Angstrom

Ref must be colourblind.

Mushy

No sympathy for players who do something stupid like that.

Kristopherus

Stupid by Keegan. Gave Ref no choice.

CountyHurler

Ah ffs, now they have that stupid little red card icon under Mayo on the screen.. I've lost 0.2% of my viewing area..

Slattsy

Harsh!!!

Okay, I'll take that back. An absolute shocking decision. Game could be gone from Mayo now.

niallo27

He kicked him. Stupid thing to do. Don't put yourself in a position to be sent off like that.

happyoutscan

Nice one Coldrick you useless clown.

CountyHurler

David Beckham has just tweeted "He should have never been sent off for that"

Da Shins Kelly

Terrible decision by the Ref.

copacetic

Very soft red, but the build up with the kick to odonohues chest, the stamp on the hand just before the red were leading to cards coming against Mayo.

Hammer Archer

To kick or attempt to kick an opponent with minimal force is a red card offence. No real doubt about it.

threeball

Ref just handed kerry the match with a bull**** decision and robbed us of a good game

Dyr

not really surprising Mayo have either been undisciplined the whole half or trying to niggle kerry as a tactic

Either way it just backfired

He actually missed with the kick.

intellectual dosser

Mayo are a man down and its almost double scores. Nothing going their way. Kerry should have the pedigree to hold out at this lead.

I said it a moment ago, huge halftime team talk from Horan coming up.

Aubrey loves Joe

Are there any decent GAA refs out there?

rebel girl 15

Strike is a strike and its a red - was silly to kick out

Think the rule is strike or attempt to strike - or in this case kick

No he didn't.

Lapin

Go on Marty, say it.

"Plenty to talk about at half time"

Thats just it.
Dont give the ref any decision to make, dont do it.

Mayo being quite dirty in the game.

paulie21

A kick or an ATTEMPTED kick is a straight red card

TCDStudent1

Asolutely terrible match. Players not finding their teammates on either team.

A lot of talk about Mayo's half back line but I think Walsh, Buckly & Geady have all had a good half. They are having a big influence on the game.

David Moran has been star man from the start though. I think Gibbons should be marking him and we havent seen Gibboons at all.

For Mayo, O'Connor seems to be their only forward. Freeman, Doherty and Dillion have not got involved. McLoughlin has done well for them. And Colm Boyle in the backs has made some crucial interceptions.

Dont think it was a red. It shold have been a yellow and the ball thrown up.

JeffKenna

You can be sure a Dublin player wouldn't have been sent off for that.

P_1

Well sadly it seems this one is over as a contest. Red card aside Mayo are shooting themselves in the foot with all those wides.

I fear it was anyway. TBH I'd rather not see Mayo being heartbroken in the final anyhow.

keith16

Loads of niggly cynical stuff going on and that's a red?

Nonsense, pure nonsense.

Hammer Archer

So here's the rule verbatim:

5.2 To kick or attempt to kick an opponent, with
minimal force.
.
.
PENALTY FOR THE ABOVE FOULS -
(i) Order offender off.

So to everyone saying it was an awful decision, what's your reasoning apart from "it's ruined the game"? Stupid by Keegan and he's probably robbed his team of a third All Ireland final in a row.

Skid X

The referee can't make up his own rules - if you kick another player you go off. He made the correct decision.
