Tyrone vs Mayo AISF Semi-Final - August 25th

[mayogodhelpus@gmail.com]

TBF, The Green & Red of Mayo is a class song. Heard it all day and never got tired listening to it.

Yeah, the Tuam men can sing a good song about Mayo. Prefer Clare Island, though.

Another Saw Doctors Classic

Galway and Mayo

Hardly anyone had the tele'
It was a different kind of world
Heaven was a game of football
Before I ever kissed the girls
We used to go out driving
We'd travel near and far
Nearly every Sunday in me
Father's oul' ford car
He'd be pointing out the landmarks
Everywhere we'd go, through the
Twistings , turning , winding roads
Of Galway and Mayo

Me mother in the front seat
Children in the back
We'd be imagining Indians in the
Fields waiting to attack
And we'd be asking " are we nearly there?"
Wearing clothes that came
In a parcel from America,
The two of us the same

He'd be pointing........

There's a stillness in the summer
Air , sheep dog lying in the sun
Three young girls with butterfly nets
Break into a run
Now the time flies by like always
I've got my own boy right now
Like cowboys in the oul' corolla
We go and drive around

The land was let go lately
But I take him out that way
I show him where we cut the turf
And where we saved the hay

And I'll be pointing out

The landmarks .........

Not even related to a penalty. You don't know what a foot block is if you think it was a free.

You don't know what a free is if you think that was a legitimate block.

I clearly do but you don't. It isn't even a debate though you've yourself convinced something happened which didn't.

5.22 To block or attempt to block with the boot when an opponent is kicking the ball from the hand(s).

That's the actual rule - did the player block or attempt to block with his foot? How on earth can you say he didn't?

There's no mention of endangering the kicker or any distances or no mention of Zulu's honest opinion in the rule book either as far as I can see.

So if you kick the ball and I block  it with my foot 20 yards away, you get a free?

If you kick the ball and I tap it down with my hands 20 yards away, is that a block?

You tell me?

good post  Rossmatt

[babarino]

He was attempting to block with his foot though? It did hit him on the shin yes but it was an attempted foot block.

He was running to cover the space when the ball was kicked and it hit his shin. No block. The ball struck his upper shin.

So what's your verdict on his double hand face holding exercise?

Missile from the crowd?


You can butter it whatever way you like, but O'Shea is a cheat ! And the 3 monkeys in the studio were afraid to go near it following Brolly's  tirade on cavanagh previously!

Hypocrisy !

You cannot point out O'Shea actions and ignore Mc'Connell's actions. Pascal could have walked the line never mind not even getting a yellow card.

Hardstation... Sing the Green and Red of Mayo everyday... rossmat, that was a great summary pof the match.

Well done Mayo. No complaints. Great supporters.

I thought they'd win by 6.

However - a wee chink in the armour. Best to see that now I suppose.

Well the rule is there and it's pretty clear. You implied that you knew the rule and you clearly don't, bringing your own interpretation of endangering the player and safe distances. The Mayo defender (cant remember who it was now) would never have been able to block the ball with his hands so he attempted to block it with his foot - that's not allowed so it was definitely a free kick (penalty). This prevented a clear goalscoring opportunity. In fact, according to the rule book the player should have been cautioned too.

I cannot see anyone but mayo winning Sam.  Mayo had Tyrone pegged after 25mins...

Played shocking and still win by 6 points...take it all day long.

Clashes with Tyrone are always good craic, league matches in Healy are always a pleasure.

Yet again you fail to comment on the cowardly act from O'Shea, holding his face with both hands when in fact no contact was made near that region!

You can butter it whatever you want but O'Shea is a cheat !

[Farrandeelin]

OK Bensars... We get ya

I honestly think it's Dublin's to lose, with Mayo second favourites and then Kerry.

Right back at ye, had a great chat with a lad from Dermot Carlin's club on the way up Clonliffe road, a gentleman.

You fail to comment on the cowardly act of McConnell.
