Dublin v Laois - AIQF

[screenexile]

The sooner time keeping is taken out of the referees hands the better! That was awful stuff.

Also the game clearly destroys the myth that Dublin are saviors of the game. They are every but as negative and cynical as Donegal ever were!!!!

Mother of jaysus in essence the ref only played 40 seconds of injury time and blew it up as Laois were on the attack....

Also not sure how Flynn got MOTM - thought Healy or O'Leary would have been worthy candidates.

Martin Carney is a thorough dose

Was watching as neutral as I you could get but that 1 minute was disgusting, O';gara lay down from 67-69 and he adds 1 minute for the whole half. Then between Cluxton and the subs he played about 40 secs as soon as Laois get it he blows, rant over but that really annoyed my good self.

Dublin have been playing poor this year. But they are sticking at it and grinding out results. They go into the Mayo game with less media huha!

There was no football played from 70.00 until 71.00 minutes and then 40 seconds allowed. Awful stuff

Look this time keeping stuff goes on in every game up and down the country. You just cannot single out todays game. It's part of how game close out in the GAA. It's Random when the referee decides how long to give really. It will be that way until the time keeping gets taken out of his hands, and then it will trasfer to the timekeeper and we'll be bitching about the same thing.

so lets say nothing because it happens everywhere, wtf wrong + wrong = ........................

One minute of injury time was a joke alright and it's fair to say if Laois had been winning there would have been 3 or 4 mins added on but that's what you are up against when playing Dublin.
Anyway though we had 70 mins to score a goal and didn't so I doubt we would have got one if there were a few more minutes of injury time but I guess we will never know now!

Fairly happy coming out of that as I thought we gave a good showing of ourselves as I was fearing a hammering.
Maybe we could have won it and it is sickening to concede such a jammy goal but that's life and as I said before the game we had already overachieved getting this far.
Pretty optimistic about the future of Laois football as well.

Anyway all that's left to be said now is best of luck to Mayo in the semi final.

Don't think this will as straight forward as many will predict with many Dubs already talking about an AIF appearance although can't see this Dublin team been that complacent.

Anyhow Laois will have a very competitive midfield and have a very good defensive structure and are a lot more physical than the Micko Laois but outside Munnellly and similar to Kildare they lack that je ne sais quoi quality in the final third. Will expect Laois to fustrate Dublin and I think Dublin will get a good examination but realistically if Dublin perform they'll win. I think the spread on Laois is 7 points which would be a great bet.

Self praise is no praise but happy with that bet

Aye my point exactly

[rodney trotter]

Dublin are a shadow of the team from last year. Great chance for Mayo now in the semi's even withut Andy Moran.

Don't think so.    Going by you past logic Rodney Trotter, Sure Mayo should have lost to Sligo  and sure they were hammered by Kildare who lost to Meath who lost to Laois were beaten by Longford who lost to Wexford who lost to tipperary who lost to Down who were beaten by Mayo. It has to be Dublin.

[rodney trotter]

Yeah Mayo did stuggle past Sligo... But they didn't win the All Ireland last year?!

[rodney trotter]

What i'm saying is, its a great chance for Mayo. And I wish them luck.
