Good to see a referee who realises that even tough Aidan O'Shea is a tank, when people drag him back, it's still a foul.

Let's be honest some of the frees Mayo have got today have been marshmello soft however they are among the best for "winning" those type of frees.

Fouling AoS in particular is such dumb defensive play - he's a well below average scoring threat.
If you're marking AoS your priority should be defending his pass, let him shoot to his heart's content instead of handing Mayo's deadball kickers easy scores.

I think most of the Mayo frees have been fair enough but he's not giving them at the other end for similar. At least two clear ones he just ignored.

He's been pretty consistent. Mayo are winning more frees than Galway because they're running more directly, whereas Galway are going sideways more often.

40 minutes played the start to 2nd half that Galway wanted. 0-8 to 0-7

Scores are rare in this 2nd half. 0-9 to 0-8 50 minutes played.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Comer not getting a free for exact same as O'Shea has been getting frees for all game.

Eoghan McLaughlin is Donie Vaughan's natural successor

For the free he conceded there where he was asking/shouting at the ref what the foul was there - zero attempt to tackle the ball as opposed to the man.

63 minutes played Mayo 0-12 to 0-10 ahead.

Then then Mayo get a soft one at the other end to add insult to injury

It would remind me of 96-99. Nothing between them.

GalwayBayBoy

Some of these frees. Powder puff soft.

The standard of tackling is generally very poor the days. Players seem to think slapping the arms or back of a player or wrapping both arms around them is a "tackle"
