Mod Note Post #1 - The 2022 All Ireland Senior Football Championship.

Kelly had absolutely nothing to do with it. He was beside Donaghy on the way into the tunnel. Watch the other angles of it. Nugent did nothing either

There should be a long suspension for the eye gouge. The rest of it was just handbags stuff. A lot worse went on out on the field that both the Ref and Linesman turned a blind eye to. Hard to dish out suspensions for the rolling around & pushing abd shoving at the final whistle when they didnt book Walsh & Morgan for it during the game. Ref was afraid to send off a second Armagh player

Apology accepted. Fair play for holding your hands up.

My main issue is that taking penalties isn't something many footballers do on a regular basis whereas free-taking would be something a lot of IC forwards would do at club level at least

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.

So why didnt he just book Walsh so ?

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.

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

James Horan steps down after yesterday
