Why did Offaly change their jerseys at half time today?

The game is banjaxed

The four 2017 provincial finals had an average winning margin of 0-9, the four quarterfinals concluded with an average margin of 0-15, and the semi-finals' concluding average was 0-9.

2018 is already better regarding provincial finals

Dublin 1-25 Laois 0-10 : 28-10 = 18  ( Div 1 v Div 4)
Kerry 3-18 Cork 2-4 A record :27-10 =17  (Div 1 v average Div 2 team)
Donegal 2-18 Fermanagh 0-12 : 24-12 = 12  (Div 1 v Div 3)
Galway 0-16  Roscommon 2-6 : 16-12 =4 (Div 1 v Div 2 side just promoted back)

Total points difference

18+17+12+4= 51
Average = 13

The attendances are confirmation.

Any surprise that the Connacht final was the most closely contested one?

The Dubs looked more like themselves in that 2nd half but Laois had nothing left after doing most of their running first half.

Laois were level on 17 mins 1-1 to 0-4, 30 mins played since then and outscored 0-12 to 0-3

What a brutal penalty effort.

Surprisingly so.
Mannion was a serious soccer player.

Plenty of football players are brutal at taking penalties ask England. This is the worst i have seen Dublin play since the 2016 drawn All Ireland final. Fair play to Laois though tactics spot on so far.

Out of interest how many of those suspended Armagh players played today?

7 of ye are wrong so far!

Make that 9

17 people was right. Hard luck Offaly decent effort against a side than finished 3rd in Div 2 this spring.

The way this game is going Donegal will win by about 15 points. Pity the big underdogs Fermanagh couldn't give a better account of themselves in the final but they have done great to reach the final in the first place. Donegal a much improved outfit from last year a nice blend of youth and experience.

FT Tipp 1-11 Mayo 1-19. Very harsh scoreline on Tipp in a game of what might have been for Tipp while Mayo live to fight another day.

Why was it harsh , you're an awful p***k don't ya think. Sick to my balls listening to want ers like you . What was harsh about it , have you ever played football, you  batter a team that are not at your level in the last period cause they haven't the legs nor strength to keep with ya .

Best not to post on feed of drink Larry. If you need reminding Mayo got a lucky goal totally against the run of play that changed the course of the game. For 50 of the 70 mins Tipp gave as good as they got and didn't deserve to lose by a margin of 8 points.

I don't know why you're defending one of your alt accounts so openly and quickly on this of all topics, but even though Larrin said it in the most obnoxious way posssible he's entirely correct that the scoreline accurately reflected the level of Tipp's collapse. You can't not turn up for 20 minutes of a match and then 'undeservedly' get hammered.

Defending one of my alt accounts what are you on about? just one example for you 2015 AI semi final Mayo lost by 7 points to Dublin few if any thought Dublin deserved to win by that margin. The final margin sometimes doesn't tell the full tale of 70 minute game.

I presume the Div 3,4 teams are entitled to home advantage for this round 3 draw also?

How did Tipp allow this awful Cork team beat them by 11 points?

Finally Cork get their 4th score of the game. Worse they are getting not better.

You'd rarely ever see a goal change a game so much. Mayo looked exhausted before it and Tipp look out on their feet ever since.

I can't ever recall a goal change a game so much. Tipp totally collapsed after it when at that stage they really should have led by about 6 points.

That very lucky goal a huge turning point in this game and would expect Mayo to kick on and win now.
