Mayo V Down- All Ireland Quarter Final

[Cosmo Kramer]

What a bittersweet win. Great performance, but I can't see us going all the way without Moran. What a disaster.

Declan Rooney who came on for Down there 5 minutes ago played an entire club game for Burren at midfield last night (I witnessed it with my own two eyes)...there are some serious questions need answered by management here...this is an all-ireland senior quarter final and boys are being given game-time after playing club matches less than 24 hours before...pathetic....

so who's the last team mayo  could have scored ten goals against then Cosmo?

[From the Bunker]

Jeez Down are awful.  Being made to look like wee boys by Mayo takes some level  of under-achievement, no disrespect to the westerners.

That's hugely disrespectful. Saying 'no disrespect' doesn't change that.

Listen, since the draw was made Mayo got nothing but disrespect on this board, we were the handy draw.

God Down are absolutely woeful.....starting to show how poor Ulster football is becoming...

[Donnellys Hollow]

Such a pity for Moran. Hopefully it's not a bad injury.

I get the feeling that this result as impressive as it is will do Mayo no good facing into the semi-final. Down seem to have seriously regressed in the space of two years.

No pride in the shirt from quite a few players out there - all seem to be in defence too. Shameful to be honest. Haven't said that a lot about Down but today is unforgivable. Don't mind being beaten by a better side, as Mayo (and Donegal) clearly are, but to just throw the towel in and gift so many goal chances, and to allow Mayo players shooting practice from between 25-35 metres isn't on.

James needs to take some blame too. Attitude comes from the manager. He's had some good runs and fantastic results but its when you're under the hammer like today is when your character is questioned. And the answers being offered up simply aren't good enough.

Wish we could have a clear out in defence but we simply don't have the players in the county.

Probably Tyrone, they are useless.

[Captain Obvious]

Down poor however any team that can score 3-18 in a quarter final will take some stopping.

[From the Bunker]

Bring it on............

I hate the way Down have no bottle and no pride.

I hate the way referees prevent comebacks by not punishing deliberate fouls.

I hate football. That could be the last game that I watch for a long time. Disgusted.

[Collins]

Painful. Thank fcuk its over. 

Well done Mayo, but I hope you boys don't underestimate just how pathetic we were today. As better preparation for the semi you would have been better having a game amongst yourselves.

[rrhf]

At least the dub fans don't have to watch that.

Some supporter you are  Another gobshite who gives it loads on the good days and runs away when the going gets tough.

Some day for mayo footballers at croker today will do well to top it in the semis
