    this place will be some crack if kerry and dublin goes to penalties with clifford to miss the penalty to put dublin through.

    Afraid to send off a 2nd Armagh player?

    That incident was **** blatant. Morgan gets booked and then seconds later you have Walsh on top of him on the ground, hanging on for dear life to make sure the incident lasts long enough so that the ref has to deal with it. Because he knows that the likely result would be 2 yellow cards, which would mean Morgan sent off.

    Watch it without bias and its clear as day, Morgan on the bottom trying his damnedest not to have his arms around the neck or do anything that could be seen as aggressive, Walsh laying on top keeping him on the ground.

    The only shock is that it didn't work, 9 times out of 10 it would have.

    The sensible thing to do here is throw the two teams out of the Championship, both teams were involved. The referee should have abonded the game. Bad day for GAA.

    Its really nothing to do with the Gardai, the GAA has a serious problem but it will likely continue, a few 48 week bans and we wait for the next boxing match.

    In also dont agree with penalties, i think there should be 5 shots for points by different players, option of hand or off ground, if level after 5, maybe 3 penalties each, then sudden death.

    Someone mentioned continue untio one two points which also good option. Bit like tennis.

    To state that there was nothing to that row aside from the eye gouging is well off the mark. You'd do well to go and have a look at the incident again. If you think that's acceptable then you need to think again. That's a large part of the problem. People think, ah sure no one was hurt and therefore what's the harm.

    I heard that whole "pressure on amateurs" thing on the radio yesterday evening.

    Do they think every soccer player is payed a fortune. Amateur games of soccer are settled by penalties every day around the world and it isn't leading to a mental health crisis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 788 ✭✭✭Pdoghue


    I have no doubt before the end of the week that the amateur card will also be played by those equivocating on the melee. I remember the Tiernan McCann incident when he went down after his hair was ruffled and by the Thursday afterwards Marty Morrissey or Brian Carty was gravely intoning what an injustice had been done to poor Tiernan.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,082 ✭✭✭✭PARlance


    Golden score would be my preference but a replay a week later would probably end the match sooner.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,093 ✭✭✭✭blanch152


    Mayo will not win an All-Ireland with Aidan O'Shea anywhere near the team. I have been saying this consistently for quite a few years now and it remains as true as ever.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,340 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    And with no solid 7/10 keeper, plus another forward who has nous. AOS got one good score to be fair. Feck all after that Moran ran show and AOS preferred position supposed to be midfield!

    I still maintain that Mayo starting AOS gives the opposing team 4 points up. The fella is a passenger in games. Be different if he took frees or Something. Does not even use his bulk to effect. At this stage he is more myth than legend. Anytime I saw him would nearly only know he was on the pitch when he is called on PA system when he is subbed off!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Fully agree with above/ whatever about James Horan, if I were mayo fans I’d want O’Shea gone out the gate first mission before the manager



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,340 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm


    Funny part is I think Horan is a good manager. Rebuilding a team a few times now. It is just Mayo have div 1 backs (arguably best in country) and mostly div 3/4 forwards.

    Very frustrating to watch and shout for (like I was yesterday) would drive a fella to drink. When the forwards do the same eejitry stuff over and over. Stupid stuff.

    Dropping ball short into opposing keeper hands unforgivable IMO but they did it 4/5 times! Plus they seemed to have forgotten about the mark rule yesterday!

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Kerry are the most over rated team. Clifford is the only dependable. Moran will start coughing up ball in the midfield as he always does against a good team. Dublin have 10 or 11 players with 6-8 All Ireland medals. Kerry a few lads who scraped one in 2014.

    Kerry kept a limited injury struck Mayo in the game for 55min. They're a windy one man team.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8 Maam Cross


    That frightening Kerry attack with Moynihan, Stephen O'Brien and Geaney. The same crew who are bottling for years. Where were they against Tyrone last year. Dublin no how to, and will beat those flat track bullies at ease.

    TBF you don't normally get banned without a few warnings first he probably ignored the warnings.

    To get back on topic I fancy Dublin against Kerry and if you're a gambling man/woman 11/8 is a tasty price.

    Re. the penalty shoot-out, having watched penalties in rugby I can fairly say that at least players going for goals in Gaelic Football is a spectacle because it's a contest between kicker and goalkeeper. Point kicking would be boring.

    It probably means I'm in mortal dread of the "soccer crowd" to say this but while it's exciting in the moment, a penalty shootout deprives the public of exciting replay days like Dublin-Mayo (2015) and Kerry-Mayo (2014). I'd say they are rare enough and wouldn't be too disruptive to club competitions when they happen.

    Most situations where they happen in soccer seems to be where a replay is totally impractical. Not sure the GAA really needs to suffocate its fixtures so much to render replays impossible. There are worse scenarios than a replay. And just because they are suggested does not mean that penalties are all bad. Yes, there have been bigger prizes decided by penalties (Soccer World Cup finals for example) but that doesn't mean that there are not many on the soccer fraternity who don't think that's less than ideal too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,340 ✭✭✭✭gormdubhgorm



    Money down the drain, I think. If someone wanted an outside shot from the four left Derry are the value IMO. They have an x factor about them. And if Derry would beat Galway IMO, a massive Derry crowd will likely drive on the side v Dublin/Kerry.

    Dublin's only hope is to play cagey and pressure Kerry on the ball. Keep scoring with frees etc. Dublin won't hold Kerry for 70, Kerry have more calmness now than they have had in previous years.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    Yerra should at this rate its hardly worth Dublin's time even to turn up. Just give Kerry the walkover

    Booked tickets for myself and my Dad today. We've got our own accounts but out of handiness I used my PayPal for both. In total I've booked 7. I was going to do it on his account as I didn't have two laptops setup like previous games but then the limit was 6. This time though is the first time I've exceeded the as it was 8 the last time. Im sort of worried now there's a chance I'll get the tickets cancelled. I realise the semi final isn't likely to sell out so that's will hopefully stop them worrying about actual scalpers. Should I chill? I believe if I ask Ticketmaster they will have to cancel one ticket as it's been pointed out to them.

    MOD NOTE

    Yesterday was a rather busy day on the GAA Forum - this in itseslf should be a good thing but unfortunately a few posters lost the run of themselves and wrongly believed that Abuse etc is tolerated.

    There are only 2 Active GAA Moderators - both of whom were off line yesterday - the cheek of us!

    There were over 1000 posts in the GAA Forum yesterday, so trying to catch up is obviously hard to do. Thank you to those who Reported Posts and made a Moderators job that much easier.

    Having trawled through this Thread in particular nearly 30 Warnings/infractions have now been given out and those posts are now edited to show this.

    7 Posters have been Banned from the GAA Forum - bans ranging from 2 days to 1 month.

    Any issues, as always, please PM.

    James Horan steps down after yesterday

    True, no surprise either, his 4 year spell was up and it was his second stint at it.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,088 ✭✭✭✭BonnieSituation


    Golden score would be brutal.

    What is it with GAA fans wanting to change formats already?

    Let penalties settle in first before we go changing it.

    Penalties are as fair as it gets if you're not going to a replay.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,088 ✭✭✭✭BonnieSituation


    Jesus Christ. Why not have a round robin after a draw with the teams beaten by the drawn teams. I mean, it makes as much sense as that rubbish above.

    Nothing wrong with penalties. No one has come up with anything other than "I don't like them" to want rid.
