I would just like to have a say on a few points up as a Fermanagh fan
The penalty didn't matter, Mayo were on top and would have won the game
- Nonsense, if Fermanagh would have gotten it and went 4 points up with 5 to play would it have been an argument? Goals change games and this had a massive effect on the outcome. I can't say we would have won, but neither can Mayo. Luckily I now know that "we deserve a penalty" based on the new Aiden O'Shea rule, so hopefully we will get that next year if we are getting a tight game
Aiden O'Shea doesn't get frees so he has to make the most of contact
- I honestly can't see where this comes from. After watching him today, its hard to remember when he didn't throw himself to the ground as soon as he wasn't favourite in any situation. He won more frees that he deserved today, and should have been in the stand to be fair. Mayo would have been my 2nd team but the justification for that nonsense turns my stomach to be honest. He cheated, plain and simple. I honestly hope that Mayo get put out of the Championship on a similar decision to see if its as palatable when it happens to them
RTE
- What can you say, an absolute joke. Pretty obvious that someone told them what was happening on social media. Between them they couldn't decide if it was "sportsmanship", "video replays", "honest game of football" or "not worth talking about". Thank heavens for Joe (and who would ever expect to say that), as it wouldn't take him 15mins to gauge the talking point of the game
Fermanagh
- Another game I felt we could have done better. Moral victories are empty at this point, and we need to step up if we are serious. The bench should have been emptied much sooner and we didn't change it when the tide turned
