Everything going perfect for Mayo and Dublin under par Which means Mayo have a real chance if this keeps up

Referee is ridiculous

Some game of football so far as a neutral

Yeah brilliant game by of football by Mayo as a neutral.

Dublin getting turned over non stop. Abysmal from them

STB.

Its 3 miles not a sprint.

Are the dubs a little rattled?? Mayo have the match ups perfect so far but still not taking enough of there possession.

Good options off the bench with Coen and Moran to come. Usually don't have that.

Kilkenny has been hopeless so far

I think the Dubs look a bit rusty. Gavins selection last week hasn’t paid off.

Jesus when you see Kilkenny make such a bad decision there, you would be thinking that maybe it is Mayo's day

Dublin lucky to have 15 still on the pitch. McAuley should have walked there.

Can Mayo keep the intensity going...not sure, but I ain't going anywhere.

Gripping game of football, very nicely set up. Mayo are looking good and have their match ups spot on, and the Dubs aren't looking as comfortable as we're used to.

Even if it was the same margin going into the last 10 I still wouldn't be sure how it'll go as we know Dublin will pour it on heavy then, but it's far better set up now than if Dublin were leading. If Mayo keep the heads then they've got a real chance.

Brian Howard though...

Happy to see MDMA get pulled up on that and the free overturned. That itself was harsh enough, but he's always at that, throwing something small or leaving something in on a player after the initial contact.

Didn't think he was allowed getting booked. Had s few other incidents in the first half when another referee would have booked him

Mother of sweet God is there a Gaelic footballer playing today that can kick pass a ball into space to a team mate over 25 yards ?????
Most are just gym bunnies that run run run .

They are not allowed to kick anymore, in case they lose pocession.

They haven't had a tough match all year.

Thought McCauley should have gotten a yellow before he actually got it.

Judging by a lot of the comments on here the fans are certainly rattled!

Dublin tried to raise their game but ran into a brick wall with Mayos excellent Defence. Jim Gavin needs to implement plan b for the 2nd half because Mayo have got Dublin countered so far

spurshero

It’s there for mayo. They have the players it’s just they always seem to somehow mess it up .

Strumms

Mayo half backs have been excellent, they have identified the catalyst for most Dublin scores are their half forward line and are playing with four almost to snuff out the creativity, Dublin hit the 45 it’s like hitting a wall, impressive.

Mr.Crinklewood

Still expect Dublin to have that five or six minute spell when they score 1-4 or 1-5.

Be prepared for the Dublin onslaught in the last 15 minutes like Norsemen plundering a monastery.

Hammer Archer

Good first half from Mayo but Dublin generally come good in the second half. Mayo you feel will need a couple of goals and they haven't looked like getting one so far. They'll surely run out of steam the way they're going as well.

Referee hasn't been bad. Only thing are the yellow cards which have been soft. Think only MDMA's yellow was really deserved.

jeremyj1968

Berno.... alright, lads

LuckyGent88

Pretty riveting half of football. Personally I’d like to see a bit more open and kick passes but this has been really good.

Mayo have the match ups to perfection so far. Turned Dublin over plenty and the main players have been very quite. Still though, they have taken the wrong option a number of times in attack with no look shots and ones under sever pressure. Also the keeper gifted them 2 points.

Really haven’t seen much wrong with the ref. Maybe the MDM yellow was a bit harsh and the Fenton one but I was glad MDM got done for that. Always with his arms flailing about.

Boyle and Durcan must have all stars locked up already.

Dublin played their worst that half. Mayo played their best. Only 2 in it.

Pintman Paddy Losty

The dubs are completely rattled. Losing their cool.

In fairness I wouldn't tarnish all Dublin fans by what the ones on here say.

He's been consistent , which is good. Can't help feel he has caused himself a problem later.

Mayo are playing really well, up to Dublin to raise thier game.

salmocab

Mayo playing very well their defense has been excellent I think.

charlie14

Mayo physicality has Dublin rattled. If they can keep this up they are well on their way to winning this.

I think the ref is doing a great job. Most other refs decide which rules to enforce. This fella seems to be enforcing all of them (as best he can)

Boyle has been fantastic. That was some score too.
