Very difficult to know where Dublin are at so just so difficult to predict and can Mayo put back to back performances together.

Those kick out stats will have alarmed McStay especially considering so many were contested but on the flip side they managed to win despite only winning 12 out of 37 kick-outs.

very valid point, we have been badly beaten in the middle third for three straight games.
Cannot see how that can be resolved in a week. Who knows.

Yes, would be a major concern at this stage. Can't win ball in midfield when we go long, and Reape is getting jittery when opposition puts on a press.
The stats from last week show Galway really should have won that game, but same old Galway - they just don't have the forwards 😉

It's Sean Kelly's fault for being on the pitch in the first place alright, the only logical position.

i mean, yes? he chose to take the risk and he's no shrinking violet himself. stuff like this happens all the time in football. i have seen countless lads with bad shoulders and bad hips being absolutely nailed even before a ball is thrown in. happens all over the country. it's pure sensationalism to act like this incident is anything new, and kelly will know it well himself.

And he shouldn't have started the messing with Hession if he didn't want to get any "attention"

Didn't see it but how did Mayo who was leading by 6 points  on 57 minutes end up losing by 3 points to Cork?

Kerrys round 1 defeat in the end meant nothing.

Had this on the laptop and the Kildare Rossie game on the box and was keeping an eye on both.

Cork got a penalty to reduce it to three and Mayo looked a side who thought they were in the dressing room with the win at that stage.
Mayo looked a side who thought they had 1st place in the group secured and hadn't even considered the permutations that might dump them into 3rd place in the group.
Aidan O'Shea had a scorable free at the end that he dropped short into the square looking for a goal chance when a point would have given them 2nd. Clueless stuff.
Real whiff of complaceny of Mayo throughout the game I thought. For long stretches looked a side who felt that they only had to turn up to beat Cork and they were nearly right as Cork were very poor for long stretches.

Cork haunted that their full-back wasn't sent off for a strike to the back of the head that was miles away from the ball. Somehow the ref deemed it a yellow. Shocker of a decision.

Lots of sides will be hoping they draw Cork I'd imagine.

That wasn't complacency - that's the level they're at when they play a blanket. Slow, lateral, then ease off when they get ahead. No smarts whatsoever.

RIP, seemed like this was coming for a long time but to be fair to him he kept fighting
What do ye think of the like of Varadkar and Martin with big Eulogies on twitter, the man couldn't stand them and it seems only a year ago had a right go at Varadkar. Maybe they'd be better to say nothing but suppose they are shameless those two.

If they're asked about him, what can they do? they can hardly say they have nothing to say about him.

Carrick's a great town anyway, so I don't see what the outrage is about. Should be a great atmosphere too, much better than if it was in Croker.

Ros are impressive. They're looking confident and hard to beat, could make a semi final which would be massive

Fuckin hell, Ulster football is dead again

Jesus, the shite ye argue about - oneill dropped the knee, knackery and a straight red. None of the others were near a red

Jarly Og lucky enough there to only see yellow.

Nah, never anything more than a yellow

I honestly think the 2 FA/SFA Cup finals on Saturday will be a huge factor in a middling attendance. Makings of a great pub / BBQ day with the ☀️☀️☀️ forecast as well.

Jaysis, would an FA cup match seriously have an impact!? Unthinkable in Mayo.

I could barely find the AI hurling final replay on in a bar in Westport (clare cork) because Man united were playing.

I don't think Mayo were playing in that?

Haven't got to watch the match yet but how did David Clifford do?

Unmarkable really. Could/should have scored at least 1 goal, that would be the only disappointment in his own display. Scored 7 or 8 points.

Everyone should be wise by this stage to Joe's generalisations and assumptions. Personally I now treat all his articles with the scepticism they deserve and the sensationalism they crave.  Some of the 98 team apparently not pleased that Joe seemed to speak on their behalf. Understandable. Most adults would rather be consulted first.

Gonna sound like Brolly here, but I was talking to one of the men of '98. About Brolly. And he said "He's the type of boy you'd hit a dig and tell him to fcuk up. And that would be the end of it."

Well they should have given more than one dig, and done it sooner, and saved us all from listening to his shite for so long.

Katie getting more clean punches in.  Good atmosphere in The Point.

Ah she's getting well beat. think she will need a KO

Aye get a firestick or else sign up to Dazn it's cheap as per month then cancel

Three arena is some sh*thole, embarrassing KTs fight is there after all she's achieved. Arsehole of Dublin and nothing around it, plus a tiny capacity. Embarrassing, but wouldn't expect anything else from down there
