How many subs Mayo make?

Paddy McBrearty played for seniors and minors the same day I think. Cian Mackey made senior debut for Cavan while still a minor.

I know its been said many times but jaysus Dessie Dolan is hard to listen to on so commentary. He adds nothing to the experience and runs through the same banal cliche time after time.

He said for Kerry's second goal that he'd be delighted with that finish. A yard out and keeper lying on the ground.

If 2-05 came off Donaghy you'd really have to say that AO'S cannot be Mayo's best approach, particularly when that can only blunt his impact further up the park, where he's most effective.

It's a bollocks stat. Aidan was there to stop the aeriel threat. He did that. Was he to also mark the players Donaghy laid off to for the 75 mins?

No but he was turned so easy.

Kerry could do worse than bring in boy wonder David Clifford the next day.

They can't. Against rules.

What rule is that?

Can't play senior anymore as a minor at county level.

Was this rule post-Patrick McBrearty?

Yeah only came in last couple years.

Watching it back here. Aos won a single contest with Donaghy all day. It was a failed tactic.

Don't think it's as simple as that. Donaghy was the key to Kerry's attacks v Galway. Today he had far less impact because of the whole O'Shea sideshow. Kerry rarely sought him. I think it worked, today.

2 5 came of him.

Eamonn Sweeneys article today very good.

Gist of it?

Le Bron James attitude to rise of right wing movement versus Trump. Finished of talking about Confederate Flag. Asked imagine if a Black and Tans Flag was flown at a US Basketball game and defended as a bit of craic.

Link here. He writes great articles.

I think the biggest question is why Clifford is not going for a 4 in a  row minor  All-irelands, surely at 15 /16 when Kerry won the first 2 , he been good enough for it

Some craic if he appeared in Croke Park next Sat afternoon!!

Not allowed because of rule change. Certainly good enough.

I think it's ridiculous that black cards carry but yellow cards don't. You could keep picking up yellows in every game for dangerous play or rash play and no punishment.

Hard to call whether that OShea experiment worked or not. Mayo did lose, Donaghy didn't cause havoc. May have spooked Kerry.

It ended up being pointless. He was still there when Donaghy took of. Bizarre.

Why are lads criticising Mayo management? Ok, I agree AOS at full back probably wasn't the right call but it's easy to say that now when who knows what would have happened if someone else was on him. He didn't win any high balls in or around the square so you could argue it worked in its main aim. Other than that what did they do that was questionable?

He won every ball in front of him so no need for him there. One time AOS was soloed around by Donohy and ended up on his arse. Positioning for first goal was awful.
