Can understand why it looked like a peno to the ref - Cluxton's hands were high and when Walsh went down, it looked like they were around his neck. Wasn't a penalty though

Never a penalty - shocking decision. Add the point after about 8 steps and thats 4 points Kerry shouldn't have. Still think Dubs have enough to push on and win this though despite the referring. Only doubt in my mind is the beating that brennan is taking on Cooper. he's been dublin's poor link all year so they put him on the best forward in the country over the last decade ? Baffling tactics !

Anyone got a link for a streaming site for this afternoon?

You'll need to be a bit of a techie to get it going but xbmc is worth the effort. For the Irish TV channels you'll need "Mossy's Eden Add-ons" repo. Youtube is full of videos showing how to set it up on the various platforms. Just tested rte2 for you and ballybradden (cartoons) is working perfectly

Is Ray Donovan worth persevering with? I have watched the first two episodes and it hasn't exactly grabbed me, I have the others recorded.

I like it but it may not be everyone's cup of tea. I thought the first episode was excellent!

Good shout - Watched the pilot last night and liked it

Even in you win the Europa League you only make £10 million or so, the one extra round in the CL would be better financially i'd imagine.

At this point surely it shouldn't be all about the money. Realistically winning the CL is not going to happen but a good run in the EL is possible. You'd probably need to get to the EL semi to get the same amount of money as the last 16 of the CL but I think I'd trade it for a semi or final of the EL

the other thing is the coefffient which affects seeding. 4th seed this year but a run in the EL would be more wins and more points and maybe enough to become a 3rd seed next year which in turn should translate into an easier draw (it couldn't have been much harder this year)

OK I'm new here so I'll throw a few out that I enjoyed.

BB speaks for itself as the best show on TV and is well covered here so i'll leave that out.

My rule of thumb is that if you want to watch episodes one after the other then you're hooked !

House of cards did that to me - I loved it
Orange is the new Black - started good, lost its way a bit in the middle but the last few episodes were great
Suits - took me a while but I've really go into it. BB is my Monday night fix and Suits is my Wednesday night thing.

Pot one: Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Arsenal, FC Porto, Benfica.

Pot two: Atletico Madrid, Shakhtar Donetsk, AC Milan, Schalke 04, Marseille, CSKA Moscow, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus.

Pot three: Zenit St Petersburg, Manchester City, Ajax Amsterdam, Borussia Dortmund, FC Basel, Olympiakos, Galatasaray, Bayer Leverkusen.

Pot four: FC Copenhagen, Napoli, Anderlecht, Celtic, Steaua Bucharest, Plzen, Real Sociedad, Austria Vienna.

City, Man U and AC would be nice.

Cant happen as far as I know - teams from same country can't be in the same group. By that logic then I'd like Schalke as the german team, Real as the spanish team (a game against them is long overdue) and hopefully avoid English teams altogether as the type would do my head in.

The penalty was the turning point.

I would say the Tyrone injuries moreso. Think the momentum of the game already changed before the penalty.

Mayo bench much stronger - harte was a huge loss

I don't care who wins but I would love to see Tyrone to push it to the end just to sicken that **** Carney.  Can't stand him.

Foot block?

Clear one.

Switch to bbc2. Miles better commentary

Deegan is having a mare reffing this game. A suspicion that the peno was a residual decision from the fallout after Cavanagh's pulldown against Monaghan. Karma, in a sense.
or the phantom foul that caused a goal to be disallowed in the first half

Mayo might actually be delighted to be only be 1 point down because they were terrible for 30 minutes.
its been dire

O'Shea does a Rivaldo.
he does indeed but the goalie should have been booked. He had no business being near him

Thought that was another soft free awarded by Deegan.
true - all 3 of their frees have been soft. Surprisingly poor start from mayo

Game over now. Monaghan needed to improve not collapse. McCarthy the corner forward looks a class act
