Mayo v Fermanagh, Saturday July 09, 2016 McHale Park

[muppet]

There is not a ref alive who has the balls to give Aidan O'Shea a black card, especially not in Castlebar.

He got a red against you in Castlebar a few years ago.

Who do you mean by "you" ?

Your county.

Which would be? 

You are a Jackeen.

Nope.

Of course you are.

Think running on to pitch is a tradition in mayo .Same as joe mc quillan and his umpires seen one of them, a failed inter county referee telling the ballinagh man that o shea had been pulled back.

Doubt if it was a penalty unless ankle was clipped.
Having said that, he is fouled every time he has the ball and because of his size he will not get the initial call

[Il Bomber Destro]

O'Se dived, no question about it.

The complete outrage from Tyrone posters is hysterically funny though.

Outrage at the inevitable downplaying of the incident, it's nothing new with O'Shea, he does it the whole time but the reputation hasn't stuck, if he had played for Tyrone.......

[square_ball]

There you are lads it's wasn't a dive it was opportunist according to dessie!

[GalwayBayBoy]

The old post match analysis is a bit mealy mouthed here. Kinda move along nothing to see here variety.

Tired of hearing this.
He puts his head down and charges most times he gets the ball, which should be a free out.

[blewuporstuffed]

wouldn't blame the referee there, thats AOS fault all day, referee conned

He gave a penalty for fcuk all. That's his fault.

i blame the player more than the referee, dived, something we need to stamp out

I agree,  that's where you need bans for diving like that.

[SouthDublinBro]

It might do Mayo a bit of good to embrace this side of the game more often. I'm sure they are sick of being the plucky losers every year. 

[The Bearded One]

Joe McQuillan clearly indicated a pull on jersey and ticked Cullen accordingly. Forgetting the blatant dive,what the hell did McQuillan 'see' to give the penalty for a jersey pull???

[saffronandblue]

Posting on the outcome of a Mayo game from outsiders seems to have reached an all time high.  I thought we were finished, but a lot on here seem to be getting their knickers in a twist, so maybe we might still have a say come September😃😃😃

Exactly.
Impossible to tackle a player like that fairly.  He should be blown for charging almost every time he gets the ball.
Not to mention the black card he escaped at the start of the second half.

Not a fan of Burns at all....pussyfooting around the issue.  It was a dive...end of.  Still think Mayo would have won by 1 or 2, but just call it for what it fcuken is.

[NetNitrate]

What does he have to do to get a free? He got two frees in front of goal for dives too. Mannequins from Dunnes Store window would offer better analysis than these two GAA Bots.

[Emmett]

Absolutely deflated after that. We deserved so much more than that. Aidan O'Shea hang your head in shame and McQuillan also.
We may not have won the game without the penalty decision but who knows. It was there for taking when O'Shea threw himself to the ground. The constant patronising of Fermanagh is really annoying also but I suppose that's to be expected from RTE.

Fair point, but the initial tackle is often a jersey tug or a pullback, at which stage heirs crowded out and frequently does end up over carrying
