Seems like Mattie Donnelly was allowed the freedom of the pitch today, class player like that needs more attention ffs. Parsons seemed to be his man but looked like he struggled (from the highlights)

Andy should get 12 weeks but will probably get off as the ref dealt with it. Cavanagh's black shouldn't have been anything. Boyle's first was probably a red. Tyrone player's red was a very dirty challenge

Probably a red? Seriously? Every bit as bad if not worse than the McNulty / Keegan one

McHale's pitch looks pathetic. And they spent millions on that ground..

On second viewing, definitely a red and bad alright but not as bad as the McNulty challenge imo - Boyle not moving with the same speed or coming in as high as McNulty whose challenge looks even worse on second viewing

Correct. Mayo brought a lot of shite on themselves today. Gallagher getting stripped of easy ball and Boyle hammering the McGeary lad when he laid it off. Parsons pass to Keegan had hospital written all over it and McNulty was entitled to contest it. No way was that a red.
The Cavanagh black was a joke. Andy was frustrated but black was correct. It's not the refs problem if a team is dysfunctional and Andy gets contrary and boy were we dysfunctional! We were a mess last year as well in League and Championship. Galway beat us. Derry, Cork, Roscommon and Kerry could have put us away. In fact Clare looked like they could too.
Ye look at teams like Dublin, Tyrone and Donegal(McGuinness) and you see players aware and comfortable about their roles. Mayo are still looking to individual heroics to an extent. We've got it down the years. Recently: Higgins, Boyle, Keegan, Andy, McLoughlin, Durkin or Doherty will pull a rabbit out of the bag. Compared to the clinical approach of the Dubs and Tyrone we are still haphazard.
I'm not going to go hard on Rochford. He is only the figurehead on a big administration. However, this administration has brought few players through. Some established players have not driven on and some younger players have stalled.

Andy knew he crossed the line....see him shaking Maurice Deegans hand after he got the line?

Agree with that assessment, Andy moran should get the same punishment that connolly and comerford got last year for altercations with an official. Cavanaghs black was baffling, probably a call made from the linesman rather than deegan given he was right beside it. Boyle and mcnultys challenges were almost identical

Stand Syf, the shagging stand.

It looks like they got the spuds planted for the 17th.

Is the McHale pitch generally in bad nick the whole time these days?
Played there a few years back and it was in decent nick that day

Boyle and McNulty challenge were not near identical. McNultys was a challenge going for the ball, I'm not even sure he saw Keegan coming. Boyles was a late hit long after the ball was gone.

Galway are still 15/8 to beat Mayo  in May . Have the bookies lost the plot.

Takes alot for league form to affect championship odds.

True but they havent their ear to the ground either. These injuries added to the ones we have already have put an end to any last bit of hope we have this year .

Kerry v Kildare match. Those floodlights looked as bad as anything in top flight football. Seemed as if they were set all over the place with uneven light patterns and shadows etc
