All Ireland Football semi-final;Mayo v Kerry,Sunday Aug 20

[RedHand88]

Whats the most amount of matches a team has played in a single seaaon? If Mayo win the replay, after the final (barring any further replays) will have played 10 matches, two of which have gone to extra time

Tyrone played 10 championships matched in 05.

Meath played 10 championship games in 1991 also.

Was that the year they had all the replays against dublin?

4 leinster finals wasnt it?

I thought that putting O'Shea to fb worked out ok for Mayo.

Firstly it negated the high ball into Donaghy on the square. Donaghy getting the ball 40 yards out on the wing is a completely different proposition to him getting the ball on the edge of the small square. The first goal was a result of S O'Shea sleeping on the ball and getting turned over, 2 or 3 Mayo players made no effort to get back with O'Brien leaving Aidan exposed. I definitely wouldn't blame him for that goal. His poor effort to stop the ball going over the line prior to the 2nd goal was a pure joke, lazy big ++++. Nothing to do with being fb tho.

Secondly I think Aidan O'Shea gets a lot of possession in most games but is is far too slow to move the ball, his default setting is a solo, maybe 2 and then a 3rd with his right foot before looking to part the ball, I feel it's no coincidence that Mayo tore Kerry apart with fast first time ball and lots of running support when he wasn't there to slow it down.

Not for the first time agree with everything you say Keyser, great game I drenched but worth it.

He didn't slow it down much against Roscommon

Yes 4 games with Dublin,two games with Wicklow, and one game against Offaly,Laois,Roscommon and Down.  It has been said the break they had for All Ireland final killed their momentum.

So if they were to play at least one more replay and a final, would 11 be a record?

If Mayo are to win the replay they need to lose this obsession with Kieran Donaghy. Apart from fielding some high balls, when did this otherwise moderately talented 33 year old become the reincarnation of Maurice Fitzgerald.

It's also been said that Down killed it.

Is that the real prize an 11th match lol

Mayo need 2 points to become the highest scorers in a championship season. Beating us in 2005. Fcuk yiz.

You can thank Roscommon for that
No christmas cards for them this year

As much as it pains me after his antics this year, Andy is a lock for his second All-Star now. Exceptional performance. Not many 33 year-old outfield players win All-Stars.

David Gough the ref for Saturday. Prob the best ref out there, so happy enough with that.

A Meath man, what could possibly go wrong 😊

One of the best refs no doubt but I'm a bit surprised he's the ref for Kerry All Ireland semi final so soon after this. http://www.the42.ie/david-gough-dublin-kerry-kevin-mcmanamon-peter-crowley-3296683-Mar2017/

Ya he is the best of them.

It was a tough day yesterday but the small margin decisions went Kerry's way. Twice in the 1st half the ref stopped us from playing a quick counter attack with a free. One time it cost us a point due to Clarkes (out of his bloody hands) bad kick and the other time Donie was away up the field on his own. I also think SOS was fouled that time went the ball went loose for the Kerry goal.

I haven't seen the 2nd half but I do recall we got some late soft frees alright but i think yet again the bigger teams get the overall benefit.

You didn't happen to count how many steps Colm Boyle took before his goal by any chance?
