All Ireland senior football final 2012 Donegal v Mayo

[Aristo 60]

the noise that comes out of the croke park loud speakers nowadays is pathetic imo.

[gaagaa]

I think Donegal will push on in the 2nd half when they stop giving the ball away.

The fouling needs to be cut out - those neck high "tackles" are a disgrace

[Jonah]

I think Mayo will go on to win this.

[mylestheslasher]

I tipped mayo but I thought they'd do it from the front. Can they come back against the tightest defence in the championship, I'm not so sure but hopefully they can.

[comethekingdom]

Mayo's late and off the ball challenges are a disgrace and are matched only by rte's biased commentary against Donegal.
Hopefully May will shit the brick like they usually do and let football be the winner.

Still better to watch it on rte than the bbc where a championship programme is only broadcast if a team from the north is playing and they're not biased either ;-)   .........

Donegal goals masking a poor performance.

Hey it's not bad, better to be in the final at half time up by 3 and playing crap than siting at home watching it

I suppose i should have said they are not their usual selves.

[Ard-Rí]

Mayo getting all the decisions following their bad start, but still showing great guts to come back into the game.
I have to state the obvious and point out that Mayo's full back line is in serious trouble, and Donegal look like being able to score at will when they put the long ball in.

It's not that they are biased, it's that their stats are unreliable and their main commentator sees his role as a comedian than a serious journalist?

[BennyHarp]

What was that free on Varley for?

[Collins]

Why does the ref constantly hae to get his hands on the ball when he is moving a free 10 yards for interference or dissent?

Thats not punishing the offending team, its helping them as its slowing things down.

We need to have a serious look at our advantage rules. The AFL is the way to go.

[agorm]

Mayo need a goal as I dont see them turning this with points. They were unlucky for the 2nd goal as they should have had a free at the other end immediately before it.

[Aristo 60]

2 bad wides in as many minutes for Mayo

[gaagaa]

Mayo's cynical fouling continues - Deegan needs to catch a grip

[Collins]

Ref has touched the ball more than some of the players

This isn't about you ffs - its about the players

[Bord na Mona man]

Lots of cheap shots and sneaky stuff going on. Difficult to referee it.
