All Ireland Club SFC Semi-finals Feb 2016

[From the Bunker]

Another shit day for a Mayo team in Croke Park.

Ah Far! Get off the fence and call it as it is! 

[ashman]

Jesus castlebar were utterly awful.  How did they beat XMG ??

[ballinaman]

Shades of Mayo in 2006...ah we learned from 2004, that won't happen again...

[whitey]

As Billy Fity would say, you need to keed the scoreboard ticking over.

When they went 4/5 points down early on, the wheels fell off the wagon and they began to overcook everything.  Players with clear opportunities to have a pot, passing to team mates in worse positions.

Crazy stuff.....if they had started kicking points early in the second half instead of going for goals, I honestly believe theyd have gotten it down to 4/5 points.  Who knows what would have happened then

Awful bad first half nearly did for them in semi as well. They didn t learn.

[Declan]

Didn't see that result coming. Fair play Boden but Castlebar didn't turn up

Another shit day for a Mayo team in Croke Park.

CrossmolinA and Ballina did it. It is not the same as the county team thing.  Castlebar should learn from this and come back within 2 years to finish the job. That is how club works. Some good teams are slow learners.

They'd have lost that's what would have happened. Outclassed

At least one person called the result right well in advance. Others need to reflect.

Ah they were left with to much to do to early! You can't legislate for that! Mitchels are renowned for having had crap starts the last couple of years in Big games, and got goals back early to get them out of trouble. Did not happen today. Boden were to disciplined in the backs. Well drilled!

You have to admit that the Dublin factor which is part of the Intercounty success comes from the Clubs in Dublin. The Huge investment of money and time is paying back ten fold.

Indiana is right. There is a huge difference in the setup of Dublin teams, their Championship and the Money involved. This is their next level of Domination.

Portlaoise and Clonmel nearly beat Boden.

The reality is CM believed their own press coming into the game and they thought Boden were a lesser Dublin championship winning side.

I couldn't understand why people were so optimistic based on a one point win over a pretty limited Cross side

[general_lee]

Because Boden were pretty shit up to now

Can t see them come back after that. No way. Most good teams don t even get 2 chances. They've blown it I'm afraid.

They Know better now! Don't they?

Because Boden were pretty shit up to now

Only shit sides win AI's by 12 points.
