Tipp v Mayo AI semi final (still doesnt sound right!!)

[yellowcard]

Mayo just done enough, there was always a sense of inevitability about the result.

[Zulu]

That was a disgraceful sending off of the Tipp number 5

Poor refereeing is a bigger crisis in our games rather than championship structures

Not a bigger crisis but one that needs addressing all the same. It's far to easy to get a card in football and this 'striking action' excuse is a load of nonsense. Getting these reds overturned is not much use to players or teams during the game.

Well done Mayo, the good news is we won't have to listen to Tom Carr in the final.......the bad news is, we might have to listen to Martin Carney now . Go on and win the bloody thing now .

Mayo always had the extra gear. Another AI final appearance.

Mayo looked very very leggy today .  Are they in decline or trying to peak late in the year.

[Fear ón Srath Bán]

Without a massive improvement in the final, Mayo will be mincemeat, once again.

[Captain Obvious]

Hard luck to Tipperary a great effort today and championship season for them. Today they were beaten by two goals one against the run of play the other a fluke.

Yes . 

[Zulu]

Overall Mayo were poor I thought and you just couldn't have any confidence in them winning an All Ireland with their forwards. Some of the misses today were totally unacceptable and is a trend with Mayo. You can't leave handy points behind against Dublin and expect to win.

We've had a summer of reds being overturned and referees making wrong calls. Watching the olympics even small sports use video evidence. The GAA is a sport with millions in revenue.

As expected. I would expect Rochford to have them ready for the final. 

[Zulu]

They're ready every year, it's the quality of their forwards that's the issue.

Unfortunately I have to agree with you

Dublin are in the final? Since when?

From the league right up today Mayo have looked leggy all year. As I said before this game the luck of draw has got Mayo into the All Ireland final more than anything else but lookit they are their and maybe they will find their past form in the final.

[Dinny Breen]

Mayo seem to be playing to this pattern

1st quarter hestitant
2nd quarter go for the throat
3rd quarter switch off
4th quarter cagey but defensively focused

Need to do some thing about that 3rd quarter if that want to win the final.
