All Ireland Football Final 2017 Mayo V Dublin

[BennyCake]

Joe can't seem to talk to players and explain things, settle the players and the game down. He just shows yellows. Must be frustrating for players to hear very little explanations for his calls. Poor poor ref.

[Blowitupref]

Barrett MOTM today for sure. Andy Moran the footballer of the year certainly. C O Connor the top scoring forward by a distance. Mayo played a near perfect game today they didn't allow Dublin to play well. Heartbreaking stuff for them but i have no doubt they will be back again next year and there or thereabout again.

Credit to both sides a great AI final that had almost everything. Congrats to Dublin 3 in a row a serious achievement

If Dublin Joe was working for Dublin AOS would have been black carded 5 seconds into the 2nd half

Rock took minimum 9 steps for one of his points. Penalty call too. Didn't seem to have the bottle to make big calls.

Rock was getting the advantage for being pulled back which is why he got extra steps.

Such nonsense. The advantage rule doesn't give you free reign to take as many steps as you like

Many times you get extra steps in that circumstance but he would have had a 13m free so it would have made no difference

Still doesn't excuse another wrong call.

Need see a better replay of it; shoulder to chest by small def yellow! Vaughan charge on small if forearm to face red; if to the chest yellow!

Harsh enough for Vaughan but the sheer stupidity of it, it's so typical of what Mayo do themselves year on year. They're more than good enough.

Game of fine margins but Mayo always seem to press self destruct.

If Mayo had played the last 20 minutes with an extra man they might have edged it

[Syferus]

Rochford almost in tears. Calm down, man.

What about missing Moran knocking Cooper over off the ball before a point in the first half, not black carding AOS etc....or are missing calls that benefited Mayo not allowed

Lads whinging about the ref are clutching at straws. He let Mayo away with plenty.

[T Fearon]

Dublin great Champions.Mayo unfortunate to be around in the same era.

No way. Whatever about the red cards and soft scorable frees Dublin got in the first half, failure to give a blatant stone wall penalty with 10 minutes left  which could have put Mayo clear is not cluthing at straws.

Contact started well before they entered the box. I know Dessie and Ger are easily fooled but you'd think anyone watching at home could use their eyes to see that.

No it didn't.
