All Ireland Senior Football Championship Final 2020 Mayo v Dublin MOD NOTE POST #1

C__MC

A good first half but Dublin toying with mayo in the second 35

He quite clearly played the ball on the ground there...

Then we have more playacting

Dublin in 3rd gear. A canter.

Patser

Mayo had their chance again. Dublin were very poor 1st half, also down a man at start of 2nd half - so Mayo had the break to plan to exploit this.

But Dublin are just class, 6 in a row legends. Makes up for all that heartbreak and disappointment during the naughties.


Ah the Joy of 6!

All I can think of looking at this is Caster Semenya.

Scully has had so many fatal hits today, I'm surprised he's not dead.

He is an absolute disgrace. Shows the character in the Dublin team to see such play acting.

Especially when the challenges that warranted Scullys reaction were actually made toward Mayo players.

If you're gifting goals after 15 seconds, you can't really blame the referee for your downfall.

Cosmo Kramer

Congratulations to the professional gym monkeys. It always seemed like there was another gear in the tank for them when they needed it. And why wouldn't there be with the resources they have to throw at the team and backroom staff. Another All Ireland with an asterisk next to it.

2020 #In the mix for six
2021 #Seven would be heaven
2022 #Eight would be great
2023 #Nine would be fine
2024 #Ten for the men
2034 #Twenty is not too plenty
2064 #Fifty would be nifty

Who cares anymore? Football is officially dead

Yes the money helps and the setup how about we get people up to Dublin and not drag Dublin back

Greatest of all time!!! 6 in a row!

Enjoy talking about funds lads.

What is everyone talking about here? Mayo are losing because of the curse.

Never mind splitting the county in two.

Making Dublin play blind-folded and removing an arm from Fenton and Kilkenny might seem fairer.

generalgerry

Lying on the ball to kill the play and then lie down pretending you're injured. Really horrible stuff to watch.

super_furry

Mayo throwing digs at half-time and full-time. Sure at least they have that.

The attitude expressed in your post is why Dublin keep winning. Lots of complaining and whining - these games are won before the throw in. Like Dublin in the 2000s, there’s lots of talk about wanting to win but the hard mentality and will to do the difficult thing isn’t there.

Dublin just want it more.

Well with Coldrick that was always likely.

Having the ref let rules not apply to one team will help considerably.

Yeah Mayo wasted a lot of shots towards the end but they put in a very good performance today , they can take a lot of positives from 2020 , this Dublin team are on another level , unfortunate for Mayo and very bad for the game over all as its become a complete bore in its predictability

no one gets close to getting close to them in truth

Awful to watch Dublin diving and killing time. As if they don’t have enough tricks to hand

And if the shoe was on the other foot, you think Mayo would not be doing the same?

Too many mistakes by Mayo, otherwise the game was there for the taking

If there strategy wasn't man marking without the ball and cynical drag backs, they might have had a chance.


Dublin kicking the ball around that ultra defensive strategy which you cannot do when you are behind in the game.


There's a thread waiting I'm sure about splitting up Dublin because its all not fair.


UP the DUBS.

lawred2

For f**k sake, open handed push to the back of the head because he grabbed O Shea's ankle..

Then he's down seeking attention.

The playacting is too much.

All that fandango

No point blaming the referee, Mayo are totally inept at trying to beat Dublin. Their lack of consistantly scoring forwards is their downfall. Andy Moran was their only class forward for many years.

Fair enough calling them inept, as opposed to who else though?

Zardoz

Ref gives a free out. Joke

doc_17

Dublin....diving to waste time. Dublin.....not allowed to tackle them.....Dublin....not allowed to get the black/yellow/frees against them.

What a joke

Keep telling yourself that, the Dublin self bukkake session gets tiring at this stage, makes the D4 rugby "Roysh" lads seem sound.

Just blow up. Dreadful spectacle!

Mr.Crinklewood

Ref has been bad for Mayo, but their decision making has been worse.

Miccoli

Classic mayo choke job. Got scared when they went a man up decided to sit back. Then they went back to their usual wild shooting and dropping balls into the goalies hands. Long may it continue

Shame on the gaa for ruining the competition and allowing financial doping for dublin
