This is what you get with the provincial knockouts. Load of shiiite.

Itssoeasy

This all Ireland semi final is getting like that nfl playoff game involving fog from years ago.

What ****e are you spouting... Cavan were 4 down at half time while this game is over already 4-12 to 1-05 to Mayo

Well in the square before the ball.

Next person to post about splitting Mayo will be banned until after the All Ireland final

Why? It gets trotted out in thread after thread when Dubs hand out a beating but when someone else hands out a beating its not allowed.
I wil enjoy my ban!

Jesus tipp can’t catch a break.

Lundstram

God I love watching Mayo. Never a dull game with them involved.

Hitchens

Reality can be harsh

Coybig_

I'm ashamed of this performance. We are nowhere near this bad, but being art up to fail. Tactically completely outsmarted. 35 minutes and no changes to the approach. Unbelievable.

sligeach

Shocking play from Tipperary.

If this was Dublin with a 16 point half time lead this thread would explode. Shows how well Cavan did yesterday.

Say Your Number

As brilliant as the provinical finals were a few weeks ago, you'd swap them for competitive games this week.

Tipp were always overrated on their win over a terrible Cork team who were lucky to beat Kerry .

Given the standard of these two semi finals, there is no doubt but that senior championship football is in the gutter.

Mayo and Dublin can only beat what’s in front of them.

The problem is that we have gone from a situation where the super 8’s had maybe 4/5 decent teams to this years championship with only 2 good teams.

The future could be worse as well, as Dublin have plenty of players coming through and Mayo have a decent current panel that won’t be around for many more years.

Div 1 v div 3 - maybe the penny might eventually drop with people.

Top 7 in country div 1 should be auto in AI QF and last div 1 plays off with div 2 winners.

Give it an open draw after that and great games.

Div 2 and down after that can can have their own AI's.

People want to see competitive games yet persist with this madness - 'tradition' etc.

Which do they want?

The likes of Kerry and Donegal had the same chance as everyone else to play this weekend and they couldn't beat the division three teams.

I find myself nodding in agreement with that

I don’t know how people thought Tipp could win this , it’s a huge step up

This is such nonsense. Dublin and Mayo play different tactics and Cavan would have been stupid to go for goals the way Dublin had lined out. Cavan were at least in the game at half time but the Tipp team that gave up 4-12 already are performing better?

Jeju

Awful one sided, give them hurls in the second half see how Mayo fare then

AMKC

Well hard luck Tipparary. You gave it you best shot but this is Mayo's game now. I can not see Tipparary coming back from that. Going to be a hard 2nd half for the Tipp team.

fullstop

Tipp keeper is just atrocious. Surely 4-12 is a record score conceded in a half at this level?

rebel girl 15

I don't think that last goal should have stood

How well Cavan did yesterday? Wow. What a competition...

Mayo have just split Tipp in many pieces

The rest of the pack are miles behind unfortunately

I think Donegal and Tyrone are there or thereabouts.

Galway/Monaghan capable of causing problems on a off day.

'Championship' system is laughable.

A div 3 team v div 1 today - yesterday a div 1 team v a relegated div 2 team

OK people will say but Cavan beat Donegal. How often would that happen? It was a one off. Donegal for whatever reason were awful by their usual standards.
Covid19 had a big say.

Same with Kerry losing to Cork - Keane would have been back in australia. And even if Kerry lost in a normal year they would nearly be guaranteed to get back in the AI QF/SF

Hitchens

What will Colm ORourke say?
