Comer and Finnerty both had good games for Galway and Walsh made a telling impact from the bench.Galway to me have better forwards and that helped them get  over the line.Could they be getting players back at the right time?

Bit of a joke near the end. Galway got the charity frees that helped them cross the line. Gough made so many bad calls earlier, that he did not know his arse from his elbow in how to even it up. A complete meltdown, Joyce got into his head from the sideline and he succumbed. Can happen to the best of us.

Embarrassing post. Mayo got absolutely ridiculous decisions from minute 20 to minute 70. Even the Mayo clowns around us were saying it

You honestly believe a couple of soft frees at the end made up for complete ridiculous one-sidedness for most of a game? Take your beating pal

To be fair I only seen the game from the 58th minute on. And during that short stint - Galway got a ridiculous call against them. After that there was a procession of soft frees to Galway who were chasing the game. I take my beating - Galway won. And I cyberly shake your hand in congratulations. But I can still say Gough really lost the run of himself at a very important juncture.

Did you watch the full game?
Are you seriously suggesting we came out the better of Gough's "refereeing" over the course of the game?
Take your beating like a good lad

From a neutral perspective I just thought he had a strange game but I did say about the 63rd minute that whoever loses wont be happy with his performance.  That didnt change in the last 12/13 minutes

[joemamas]

Just went back and rewatched the last 5 mins.
Firstly Gough, did favor Mayo with a lot of decisions in regular time, However he totally lost the plot in the last five minutes.

70 mins Mayo 0-15 Galway 0-13
72 .30 Phantom free against  Tommy Conroy as he pulled on loose ball. 
just watched it back four times, no way was it a free. That was the game right there as O donohue had the ball and was breaking away down the field
Result Galway point.
Mayo 0-15 Galway 0-14
73.13 fairly easy on Coyne Galway free Galway point 0-15 Galway 0-15
74.25 Dodgy overcarry free on Loftus, easily could have been a free to Mayo (you could blame Reape or Mchugh the latter punched passed it to Loftus, who had two galway men in close proximity) he could have blasted it down the field.
Anyway just thought i would point that out.
Gough did not cost Mayo the game but has a shit last five minutes.

Watch the full game back!
This myth of Gough being the best referee around I just don't get.
He was terrible

[Main Street]

Gough was fortunate that Galway won, If they hadn't won, he would've been melted on the spot by the extent of Joyce's ire post game. Considering the 2 shocking decisions when Galway were trying to claw back the 3 point deficit, the two soft frees they did get just balanced things out.
But that's not how a game should be reffed.
Overall I thought Galway were well worth the margin of victory.

Gough is the best of a bad lot. He was poor for both teams today especially the last 15 minutes.

Cillian O'Choker does it again!

That's your take on a man who has the balls to take the shot on with the rest of the Mayo team playing the ball laterally a minute over added time

You're some clown

And just in case there's some posters who don't know: "SouthDublinBr" is a Cavan man. Why he chooses to abandon his normal moniker when slagging off Monaghan, Tyrone, and now Mayo, I do not know, and it's not a surface I want to scratch, people should just put him on ignore as he never posts genuine posts under this handle.

[Hound]

Very much enjoyed the game. Both teams had great attitude and tried to do it the right way. Best team on the day won, imo. Galway keeper is a disaster waiting to happen when soloing up the field, but in fairness, he did cop on to that, eventually. And the ball he won in midfield followed by the massive free winner was great,so fair play to him.

As a Dub, I have to say I really fear Comer!  Monster player, really hope he stays fit for the business end.

I think most of the criticism of football refs is biased nonsense, often in ignorance of the rules. But Gough was terrible today.

[Itchy]

I didn't see the game but I see Mayo yet again lost to the referee. When will the GAA do something about this? If its wasn't for bad referees Mayo would be unbeaten since 1884.

Galway are just a different team with comer in. They go from about 10th in the country to the top half dozen.
