Aren't all fouls un the small square penalties?
It was a throw alright.

Gough was fortunate that Galway won, If they hadn't won, he would've been melted on the spot by the extent of Joyce's ire post game. Considering the 2 shocking decisions when Galway were trying to claw back the 3 point deficit, the two soft frees they did get just balanced things out.
But that's not how a game should be reffed.
Overall I thought Galway were well worth the margin of victory.

Think Gough realised that he gave Mayo a couple of very marginal calls heading towards injury time so gave Galway a couple of marginal calls during injury time. That's what it felt like at least. That said I thought Maher got clattered for that free. Even if he was expecting the hit. Not sure how that one is even controversial.

Maher dove after he knew he was not gettin it.
Tommy Conroy got all ball. The reaction of the three or four Mayo players around it really tells the tale, they were incredulous.
But as I said earlier Gough did not cost Mayo the game.
He Did give us a fair few 50/50 ones earlier.

The biggest decision in the game was the Galway goal being over the line by the RTE slowmo doing the rounds on twitter and not being given. Even if that wasn't given as over the line (it was), Brickenden basically threw the ball out thereafter. By rules is that a penalty or a 14 yard free? Huge moment nonetheless. A couple of dodgy calls in Galway's favour in injury time doesn't change the fact that Mayo benefitted from Gough more than they were hindered

Didn't think it was over the line tbh and in fairness umpires and refs don't get replays. Good few bad calls all round though.

Blame the ref........

Those goalline dramas are never going to be given. There was another one in the club hurling final.

Does anyone have the statistics? Galway seemed to have been more efficient. Neither team were in peak condition either. Mayo lacked a bit of energy towards the end I thought.
Ultimately this match was only an appetiser

RTÉ stats.

How does "Scoring chances converted" relate to the next two rows? In Galway's case there is a only a difference of one in the sum of the frees and scores from play, but in Mayo's case there is a difference of 9?

Wides and shots that dropped short?

A lot of people owe the Galway goalie Gleeson an apology. His frees into the wind at the end won them that game. I remember he got a lot of stick over the past few years, notably from his own countymen.

He would never have taken those frees either only for Walsh and Tierney are still rehabbing injuries so they weren't allowed to kick from the ground.

Is he the fella that was nets against us in Croker that time?

Hit a couple of great free kicks. Doesn't take away from the fact that he is a real weak link for Galway.

Listening to GAA social and McConville loving getting the digs in at Mayo management. He was turned down to be involved with Mayo couple of years back.

Hasn't conceded a goal in a while though, actually quite good in that dept.
