Don't mean to rain on the parade but most of the goals were comical and resulted more from really bad defending/goalkeeping rather than any Mayo ingenuity.
When I see a scoreline where one of the teams has scored almost as many as goals as points, I don't think 'free-scoring forwards', I think 'circus clown defenders'.
I would agree with you on that. I have to admit Loftus' goal was a superb finish but definitely four of those goals were gifts from Cork. Cork lost this one rather than Mayo winning it. I would be more worried about the poor wides, they were just bad misses, they also looked very uncomfortable shooting. While Mayo dominated for long periods, Cork were much more economical. On another day. Mayo wouldn't have had the luck they got on Saturday and you will never get presented with goal chances like that again in a high quality game.
