These pricks could still put a hard border up. I wouldn't put it past them.

Of course they will. Once they have left they can do what they want with their borders.

Second half was far better but Kerry weren't as pushed either . Aos is just the most incredible individual that has ever played for Mayo , he was immense in second half. 

Transition is hard to stomach for us ejits who react with impulse and impatience  . Relegation is a disaster imo cause it will mean we are playing weaker opposition during transition for at least a year when you want these lads playing the top flight in year two of the rebuild. It is what it is though , nowt can be done now .

Yeah. we're as good as gone.

Had to laugh at O'Se and O'Rourke second guessing what was going on in the shemozzle yet speculating that Dublin love beating Tyrone so there must be dirt between them. Also some ridiculous statement was made about the Dublin players being trapped against a fence lol.

The Hampsey black was for an incident leading up to the tunnel punch-up not caught on camera. He was strolling about the tunnel entrance nonchalantly 'accidentaly' body checking Dublin players running in. The linesman brought this to the ref's attention straight away as the more malicious fighting was going on down the tunnel.

So Hampsey started it?!

Ref missed a blatant hook on Mcmenamin
Should have been a penalty
Get Canning never even mentioned it.🙄

Actually he or Kevin McStay did mention it, and wondered if the referee was going back in to discuss it with the umpire (he wasn't). In the event they didn't linger on the point as the TV didn't show a clear replay of the incident.

McStay did. Said he thought McMen. was hooked. Canning hasn't a clue. Mailing it in for 30yrs. now.

Div two will be different for sure . Absolute disaster though imo

We're not gone yet. Let's see how we get on over the course of the next three games. It is looking pretty bleak in our quest to finish 6th unfortunately.

FWIW: Mayo will look to bounce back from last weekend's defeat when they host Kerry in tomorrow's rescheduled game in Intersport Elverys MacHale Park at 1pm. The team is as follows:

1. David Clarke - Ballina Stephenites
2. Padraig O'Hora - Ballina Stephenites
3. Oisin Mullin - Kilmaine
4. Lee Keegan - Westport
5. Michael Plunkett - Ballintubber
6. Eoin O'Donoghue - Belmullet
7. Patrick Durcan - Castlebar Mitchels
8. Aidan O'Shea - Breaffy (C)
9. Stephen Coen - Hollymount/Carramore
10. Jordan Flynn - Crossmolina Deel Rovers
11. Ryan O'Donoghue - Belmullet
12. Diarmuid O'Connor - Ballintubber
13. Kevin McLoughlin - Knockmore
14. Darren Coen - Hollymount/Carramore
15. James Durcan - Castlebar

We're not gone yet but we will be soon if that's the best we can field for must win games.

You only have to be best any given year so yeah it could be that Galway are coming good at the right time. The Mayo team is gone and I think Dublin have levelled off and may even be in decline. I think we will have new champions this year. Most likely it will be Kerry but Galway could well be in the right place at the right time again.

These boys banging on about "The ref should know Murphy wouldn't want to get involved in that so common sense should prevail."

The ref can only act on what has been seen by him or reported by his officials, not on a scenario he makes up in his own head. I can't understand how they can suggest that.

Murphy could have gone earlier with a straight red.
The second yellow was a joke though. It's become a no brainer now to just get in a tussle with a player that's already yellowed and even though he does not react in a violent way he will get sent off.
In a one point game getting Murphy off the field was .......
Good shout that Murphy on the field could have got a valuable point from the game.

Thank God the Tyrone sending off is the topic of the day because Mayo were awful, bloody awful today. I haven't seen a performance that bad in a long while. I expected us to lose. But to be outscored by 2-11 to 0-5 in the second half, well you know the rest. I hope James Horan learns at least this ONE THING: don't start Jordan Flynn against Kerry, Galway or Tyrone. Nothing really against him, but he literally cannot make any physical contact with any opposition player or there'll be some kind of card handed out. Unfortunately our lack of underage success is coming home to roost.

While the collapse in the final quarter was disappointing, you have to bear in mind the number of probable starters we were missing today, these include Brendan Harrison, Chris Barrett, Matthew Ruane, Cillian O Connor, Fionn McDonagh, Jason Doherty and James Carr. No other division one team has an injury list like this at the moment. We'll be a totally different team come championship and all analysis at the moment has to take account of this

The collapse was last 10 minutes rather than last quarter. That was down to a very soft sending off to be fair as well. Not sure many of those you mention change us big time either.

[If you honestly think that was red you should stick to non contact sports in all seriousness]

Galway playing some great football. Hope they keep playing like this in c'ship too. McCurry is playing some stuff from Tyrone too. Some very clever passing from him.

Still tying to get my head around how that was a straight red

Made aggressive contact with Galway man's jaw, that's why. Right call in my opinion.

😂😂😂 Aggressive contact. Is there a non aggressive contact. Was clear as day he was going for a shoulder to shoulder but the Galway lad turned at the last second. Was no where near his jaw.

If you honestly think that was red you should stick to non contact sports in all seriousness

You must be hard bartard is saying not a red. Clearly caught him in jaw. Tyrone playing the victim as usual.

Not at all but it's a contact sport. He was a second too late. Check out the 7 rules for red card offences and let me know which one it falls under

1. Striking or attempting to strike with arm, elbow, hand, knee or head.
2. Kicking or attempting to kick with minimal force or with force or causing injury.
3. Behaving in any way which is dangerous to an opponent.
4. Spitting at an opponent.
5. Contributing to a melee.
6. Stamping.
7. Inflicting injury recklessly.
8. Abusive language towards a Referee, Umpire, Linesman or Sideline Official.

Debatably 7. Is this groundhog day

3 as well obviously.
Yeah, groundhog day for sure.

3 and 7

Hmmm. There was only 2 points in it before sending off. It could have been level; Diarmuid had recently missed a very kickable free and Stephen Coen's attempt from a mark was just a ridiculous attempt by anybody that plays football.
Not sure how much lack of underage success is affecting us. We,ve won a minor and under 21 recently enough anyway. Oisín Mullin can play. If a national U20 team was picked Mullin and Towey would be a good shout to be on it. Swanee is coming along nicely, so too Ryan O Donoghue. That's not so bad. Trouble is though Horan seems to want to persist with lads that repeatedly come up a bit shy.
Need to get a bit of pace into 6 position.

Sexton & Murray had shockers.

But he ll keep picking them.

Murray starts again. Only changes injury enforced.

How did the trouble on the terrace start tonight?

Trouble?

[how many wides from 'scorable' frees and indeed overall?]

That was a joke of a red card in Castlebar.
High tackle - yellow all day long.

Ah jaysus, take off those anti dub glasses. Red card all day long. Mayo looking very limited up front regardless of red card

Anti-Dublin? I'm the least anti-Dublin person you could meet.
A huge admirer of that Dublin team.
But that to me is a high tackle which is a yellow card imo.

Cheap shot that deserved a red card. Mayo were rubbish up front and if they use the red card to delude themselves about the result they're fooling no one but themselves

Dublin weren't exactly excelling themselves either anywhere on the pitch before the red card. I do agree with regards the Mayo forwards, how many wides from 'scorable' frees and indeed overall? But the red card and the goal changed the game in my opinion. I'm not saying that we would have won it but it would probably mean the Dubs having to up the tempo a bit.

Probably a boring game for the neutrals watching it.

Why the f**k did Diarmuid not kick all the frees? Better striker of the ball than Cillian or anybody else.
Once the red card happened it was over anyway so it is just about the housekeeping bits that are the most damaging in the long run.
Most Mayo players played very well. If I were Horan I would be happy out. That result tonight means f**k all. Going forward Mayo's biggest concern is keeping Ruane and Mullin. Mullin class again tonight.
