Should have been a free in there.

If that was a red, shouldn't Buckley for Kerry have got a red for attempting to strike the opponent with his fist immediately beforehand? A strike is a strike.

No way the ref would've seen the closed fist, I doubt it was noticed on first viewing by anyone. The kick wasn't even close though.

The worry is now that the ref will take some fairly moderate Kerry infringement and hand out a red card to balance things up..

That James O'Donoghue lad gets some power in his kicks.. He's a class act.

That's always a worry, but this game looks over, even though this looks to be poorest Kerry team I've ever seen.

Cheers for that suggestion, it was in response to the claim that an accidental bump to the head on AOS should have been a red.

Oh, so you were being sarcastic.

Or have you just rowed back on your 'opinion' now that you have got absolutely no support for it?

Grandeeod

I think the Keegan red card really highlights the lack of refereeing consistancy and is why people are angry at the decision.

Dyr

Yeah ref getting a dose of red card remorse now

Surely the linesman would've spotted it?

I'd have to look at it again, but I thought it was the ball he went to punch out of the players hand?

Well the ref has definitely given Mayo a few soft frees at start of this half. So maybe he is trying to 'even it up'

PaddyCar

Mayo getting some very handy frees now

rebel girl 15

Referee finally stopping the pulling and dragging - Mayo going for the Kerry backs now.

Two Kerry kickouts Mayo have won in a row

Da Shins Kelly

Dont know why Mayo are continuing to walk themselves into pressure. Running into men constantly.

Say Your Number

Mayo can't afford to waste chances like that

rebel girl 15

Sheehan on for M Geaney

Slattsy

Kerry after going very negative, bad idea.

It wasn't an opinion, or sarcasm, I'm guessing you don't know what either one means. It was a statement of fact, AOS kicked JoD in the chest, nothing to row back on. I never said he should have been carded or sent off.

Cometh the hour, cometh.the man

rebel girl 15

Consistency from Coldrick there

rebel girl 15

Some point from Dillon there, ball lost by Kerry too easily

Slattsy

Who has 14 men here??

windy shepard henderson

the sending off has done more good then bad for mayo they have ditched there crazy defending and gone back to there open brand of football

Da Shins Kelly

Mayo showing some character here.

CountyHurler

Fair play to Mayo.... I feel like I should be doing a slow hand clap or something... Like I was at the end of the Might Ducks movie.. :pac::pac::pac:

Harry Angstrom

C'mon Mayo! Do it for Cork!!

copacetic

Great play by Mayo, forced by circumstance to start playing football.

TCDStudent1

Kerrys kickouts have been woeful in last few minutes. Let Mayo back into it with awful kickouts.

Imagine if rugby had a rule 'an attempt to gouge' etc? It's laughable.

Soccer has a similar law.

Dick Turnip

2 great points there by Dillon and O'Connor

rebel girl 15

Moran on for Mayo now, with Freeman coming off

P_1

Fantastic energy from Mayo, can they keep it up for the full 70 though?

TCDStudent1

ooh, dunno about taking freeman off.

michael999999

Brilliant second half so far!

CountyHurler

Andy Moran looks like he's capable of walking through a wall... !!

intellectual dosser

Holy Moly this game has blossomed beautifully

Say Your Number

Mayo got off lightly there

rebel girl 15

Should have been a goal, bad mistake by Boyle

Young on for O Mahoney

And the ref is giving them everything.

VanDinkle

Mayo flying by the seat of their pants.

SeaFields

Thats three goal chance for kerry in the last few minutes.



Cracking second half.

Rightwing

I fear for Kerry in the final if they win this.

If you think that's a kick, go watch the soccer on the other channel, plenty of 'someone think of the children' crap there.

Again, not one person here supports your 'opinion' (because it sure isn't a fact).

NIMAN

Great entertainment.

threeball

Colricks reffing fast becoming farcical. Involved in the wrong sport

Nib

Colm Boyle has been fantastic.

I wouldnt be putting money on whoever wins this against either of the other semi finalists

Lapin

Some second half in fairness. Different game altogether.

But either team will need to keep this up for 70 mins against Dublin in the final.

Molester Stallone II

Ref being a bit lenient towards Mayo.this half

Slattsy

Ref is awful here lads.

Not necessarily. Sure the time between whistle blowing and that hit would be minimal.

Can easily get away with that excuse.

A lot of people saying the ref should use common sense. So easy to blame the ref, why didn't the player use common sense?

Brilliant second half though.
