I'd rather he didn't go running in like a hero in the first place.
He always ends up on his arse.
I don't condone what Brennan did, but he did it to the right man. Vanghan finally had something he could have a genuine cry about!

;D ;D ;D ;D That's the biggest oxymoron I've ever heard!

I remember laughing at him when I was looking at the replay. If you are going to run in & act like a hard man, don't go down like a baby moments later.

There was also an instance in the first half where he took a shoulder on the sideline & I thought he was going to land in the stands.
Vaughan does play the hard man at times but in his defense, he was shouldered by Flynn when kicking the ball off balance and took a fair old contact with the ground. Flynn should of seen yellow for that.
No matter how you run up to someone if they hit you with the elbows you are in for some pain. Ger Brennan tackled Conroy high, kicked at him afterwards as he lay on the ground and then elbowed Vaughan. Yet you are laughing at Vaughan !! The Dublin supporters around me were disgusted with Brennan.
Good fast paced game of football with Mayo allowing Dublin plenty of time to hit long passes into the full forward line.  Things will need to tighten up dramatically during the business end of the year or else we will be watching the big boys on TV again all summer.

Brennan needs to cop the hell on. Playing on the edge is great and what not, but he goes beyond the edge for me. His discipline needs to improve hugely.

Vaughan however spends an inordinate amount of time rolling on the ground holding his face.

C'mon heffo...it wouldn't be a Mayo team without a player who gets the other crowd going....Liam Mac, DB, Mac, Conoreen....
