Glad you didn't use the word- Footballer

Small was definitely going, McQuillan was already coming in with his notebook in hand

Bullshyte Sid. Vaughn's reaction on Small was immediately after Small poleaxed Colm Boyle. It was instantaneous. No ref's notebook. McQuillan was delighted as it took him out of tomorrow's headlines.

I respectfully disagree. Small may not have been given a second yellow. Big game-  All Ireland final.  Refs had previously omitted to issue cards to Dublin players in big games. John McCarthy hit to the head of the same Donal Vaughan in 2016 replay. No card. Vaughan had to leave the field which had a significant impact on the game. John Small hand trip on Andy Moran same game. Play waved on. No black card. Same again 2020 final Fitzsimons hit to Keegan's chest. Should have been at least yellow and a 14 yard free. Play waved on. Many other incidents. Dublin players know this unwritten rule exists.

Donal Vaughan great servant to Mayo unfortunately will be remembered for the red card in 2017 final.

A lapse of concentration, took a lot of pressure off of Joe McQuillan's decision sending off Small.

Small was always going for a 2nd yellow. Moment of madness that cost Mayo the All Ireland

No guarantee of that. Had Vaughan not reacted,  its not certain at all that McQuillan would have given Small a second yellow. An easy decision was handed to him.

Mr hill is blue is having a bit of fun with the Galway lads. He wants reassurance that dubs will win the next 8 or nine.

Brilliant win Galway well won

Larry. . . Yea but tell us what you really think

Are you guys watching the same game , Dublin are incredible , there has never been a team like it , it's a joy to watch .they get better and better every year

They are the best money can buy.  The great thing is I dont care and I actually love watching them hammer teams.

Good crack all right. I'm looking forward to the post match interviews.  Johnny Cooper is usually good

Last year dubs supporters (not meath) were leaving hill 16 in droves with 20 minutes to go. I wonder what they are doing this year

Dublin Des on the Sunday Game tonight, introduces the Dublin Laois match As follows. . "Well let's have a look at Dublin today where Laois are attempting to beat Dublin . . "

Two provincial champions beaten in one day. That's one for the record books

Did you see any rhubarb growing on the side of the road when you were on the walk

Div 1 verses Div 2

Why is the Dublin Westmeath match being played in Laois? Is it not a home game for Westmeath?

Donegal better team in the first half. If I was a Donegal fan I'd be worried about their players obsession with their hair. The amount of times a donegal player gets tackled and goes down grabbing his head/hair

Johnny Small seems to be developing a bit of a habit also for holding his hair. The clash with Ryan McHugh  should have been a black card for Small who clearly blocked the follow on run by McHugh. But Small cleverly deceived Deegan by falling down holding his head. The medical team were of course required to complete the deception

Take off your anti dublin blinkers. Donegal players were going down consistently in the 1st half grabbing their head even though they hadn't been touched anywhere near their head.  Donegal players disappeared in 2nd half when they needed scores.

No blinkers on here. As you only appeared to be aware of the ref being conned by the Donegal players, I thought it only fair to point out that a similar act was carried out by a Dublin player. You may not have seen it. This would not be the first time Small has pulled this stunt. Anywayó Goodnight to all in Dublin 7
