54th min and Tyrone not given free in for clear foul then O'Donoghue goes up and scores a point. 2 point swing to try and keep Mayo in it.

Ah now, you'd want to change the record at this stage.

Christ Ring not win one?

Ring played until his mid forties alright, but I think he was around 34 when he won his eight
and final All Ireland medal.

Cluxton , the first player over 40 to win an All Ireland medal ?

It's nonsense (and sour grapes) to say it's unfair on Mayo they had to play 3 games in 3 weeks.

Everyone knew from the start of the championship it was important to win the group to get the advantage of the week's rest. Everyone had equal opportunity of winning their group.

But all these teams are capable of playing once a week, no problem, the issue would be managing injuries. It was the third quarter where Dublin took over, particularly around midfield, where Fenton and McCarthy completely got on top of Ruane (who also had a week off) and O'Connor (one of the fittest around).

But even then, Mayo missed the open goal that would have brought it back to 4 points with 20 minutes to go. After being pretty much obliterated for 15 minutes, to be only 4 points down would have been a huge impact on all players and fans. Anything could have happened after that. I was well aware during the game that Mayo have come back from similar before

Certainly not nonsense, dress it up any way you want to, three away matches in three weeks is too much.
Now ,saying Ruane had a week off is nonsense !!!! 26 Dublin players had two weeks off and didn't have to leave their own back yard .

This year was a rebuilding year for Mayo . A League win and a qf aren't too shabby. They also learnt how to time wins in the round robins.

The Mayo rebuilding was done under Horan in his last few years. McStay and his well stocked management knew this when they took on the job.  The real mess up for Mayo was in the group stage when they should have topped the group after beating Kerry away.  Only beating Louth by 1 point and losing to Cork. It was scoring difference that allowed Cork finish 2nd.

A semi final was probably as far as Mayo would have got though.  No defender/warriors likes Keegan,Boyle,Higgins,Barrett anymore. Midfield light on options now compare to loads of options 2013 to 2017 and while Tommy Conroy,Ryan O'Donoghue are decent forwards they are no Cillian O'Connor and Andy Moran at their peak.

As for Dublin they brought McCaffrey,Cluxton,Mannion back to win another AI and today like Kerry yesterday laid down a marker.

The damage was done in the Cork game alright. Three games on a row caught up with us. Even so a semi-final was going to be our ceiling.

Exactly.
Three away games on the trot in treee weeks , no team could survive that

How do I know ? For a starter both are named .
Sean Kelly played last week and went off with an impact/contact injury that has came from several reports including Barry cullinane on mayo news podcast last night .
All indications are Damien comer has been rested with a view to the knockout stages , all evidence points to he was good to go last week bar a bit of a fook up with paper work .

So I larryin89 of sane mind will confidently make an assessment of all available evidence and say both will be part of the Galway team on Sunday . Now if you think that is talking shite that's your opinion which you are entitled to but I beg to differ .

Absolute bullshit. That is a complete lie re Comer

Strong words there. You should back them up with some facts .

Seen that punch to the head in the Mayo/Cork game, whether he meant it or not doesn't matter. Was a real card all day.

The referee was very poor, penalty was very soft , looked back at it a few times now and cannot see any foul.

Had a feeling that would happen. Last week's league final win disguised the face that Mayo coughed up a whole pile of goal chances and Galway didn't take any of them. Roscommon took theirs today.

Plus didn't they only get 4 points from play last week.

Not good enough.

You could look at it like that I suppose.

But they were only beaten once in the League, in a dead rubber match,
so their scoring wasn't all that bad.

Very enjoyable, I'll be straight down to the Bookies with Red Handers selections next year.
