It was a free, very clever one and he played for it.Minute the man put his hands out on his back, Mayo lad went down.

Yer watching too much soccer

Mayo got away with a 45 at the end, clear last touch by a Mayo player

Hard to believe it wasn't given as a 45. Pure dive by Ryan O'Donoghue for the last free.

Doesn't matter, he was in front of defender, dipped was touched and went over... easiest free you'll win. We teach our kids dip the ball you'll win a free!

The free didn't win it either, Dublin fell asleep and it was a clever pass that won it.

Ball would be in Dublins hands but for that free.

How would it be in their hands? Ref blew game stopped.. daft

No free given it would be Dublin in possession. Also no 45 given just before that free. Mayo kick out instead and the winning score came from it.

You're a ref, is that actually in the rulebook or is it some secret referee union rule that you've brought in?

Tell me, contact on player dipping a ball isn't given? He came from behind, he dipped the ball and there was contact on his back..

You played before?

No never played before. So any contact on a player, no matter how light is a free? Or is it just when you're "dipping".

Tell me the only physical contact allowed.. that's an easy one

Blah blah blah and 20 mins earlier Fenton blatantly fouled O'Shea in front of the posts and got away with it. Point for Mayo.

On second thoughts, O'Shea would likely have taken the free himself and stuck it wide.

[Cunny Funt]

Was never a foul.

Love mayo all same.

80% of football is unwatchable muck. Of the remaining 20%, mayo feature in just about all of it.

Love Mayo.

Wasn't a very loveable Mayo performance tonight. Got the win thanks to a little bit of luck at the end and Dublin leaving the win or at least a draw behind them.

Mayo don't have many first teamers to return so were nearly full strength tonight. Dublin still have old guard of Fitzsimmons, McCarthy,Cluxton, Mannion to return yet and had no Murchan, Howard tonight either.

[From the Bunker]

The goal was against the run of play.
O'Shea should have been sent off.
Last free was never a free.
How did anyone expect Dublin to perform without a fans and having to travel.
Mayo are useless and will beat no one (in the final).
The stripes om Mayo Jerseys are silly.
Now got all of that out of the way.

Agreed on all counts.

Except... Matty Ruane is absent for whatever reason (hopefully he will come back as a forward), so is Enda Hession, and so is Diarmuid O'Connor, who's possibly Mayo's best player. Certainly among the most influential. Tommy Goals only played 15-20 too.

Look football history tells us that James McCarthy cancels the whole lot of that out.

But the best thing that will ever happen to football is Mayo winning an all Ireland, playing football the right way.

Pray make it happen.

[illdecide]

Dublin will be heading home wondering how the hell they lost that game. Lucky enough goal and soft free at the end got mayo the 2pts. The refereeing decisions in games are so inconsistent as O'Shea was fouled 5-10 mins before that and got nothing, then got a soft free immediately afterwards like he was making up for his mistake. Still a decent game for start of February with 2 good teams who will be there or thereabouts when the medals are handed out👏

You could see the free coming before the players even reached the ball. Any county player in that position is going to bend over the ball, slow up a second to try and invite contact, and go down as soon as they feel it. And get the free every time, because you can't push a player as they're bending over the ball.

A small bit of trivia in the Match program for tonight's game.

Dessie Farrell and Seamus Coleman are 1st cousins (their mothers are sisters).

[sans pessimism]

How on earth did Dublin not get a point out of that attack

probably cos they didn't get the same total as Mayo

Didn't know that.

I think it's well known that Dessie's mother is from the Glencolumbkille/Carrick area.

[gallsman]

Ah lads we've been hearing it for years ffs.

Re: Tyrone v Derry

Does anyone know of a radio station / radio stream that'll likely have this on? Will be at match and want to pick up a commentary.  Not sure if it'll be on  BBC Radio Ulster or not.   Radio Kerry practically seems to have every Kerry game on, and it's a grand job.    I long for the days of Q101.2 and Paddy Hunter!! That was some set up while it lasted .     TIA
