Dublin should probably have won but credit to Mayo, stuck at it. The foul at the end giving Mayo the free to win it was a schoolboy error. Didn't need to touch him, just keep him in the corner and they would probably  have got the draw.
I don't think Dublin will be too worried mind.
They still look strong and will no doubt improve.
Mayo - who knows what they'll do. Could be brilliant. Could be awful.

The last minute was real 50/50. It reminded me of Irl vs NZ in the RWC. Sometimes it works out at the death and sometimes it doesn't. Dublin did enough to win imo but sher it's only the league.

Would the league be even more important if  after provincial champs the seeding went by league standings.

Play the game and play it fairly
Play the game like Dermot Earley.

Ros are definitely pacing themselves so far compared to last year. A qf at least must be the goal this year. the exit last year was very disappointing. They won't be caught out again

Cluxton is the greatest ever. Beggan has probably surpassed him in terms of his kicking ability but Cluxton has done it over a 20 year period and repeatedly on the biggest occasions under the greatest pressure. His all round game was the best and his temperament was his biggest asset. Morgan has been very good for a decade but his decision making can be suspect at times. Still a top keeper on his day.

Cluxton was absolutely flawless in the AI final last year. Still when it comes down to it think he's the best. When the "high press" goes on he was able to find a way. (I guess who your team is helps too mind you but still)

It would obviously be more important but the reality is there is no way this will ever happen while the provincial councils have such a massive chunk of votes.

I think making is so that the provincial losers weren't the 2nd seeds would improve things some small bit.

I think the high press is called a cupboard in England

I see Mal McMullan tweeting the Galway Derry game has been moved to Salthill. Same throw in time.

Any idea why the change of venue?

Likely because the new Tuam stand is behind schedule.

They must be expecting a big crowd. Tuam stadium is undergoing some re-development and the capacity is a little less than 7k
