Quote from: Blowitupref on February 24, 2024, 08:43:20 PMKerry a lot more tuned in 2nd half which makes me wonder what they were at 1st half especially defensively.  52 mins played Dublin 2-13 Kerry 1-13
Another off day for Clifford. Kerry were  hammered. 
The GAA have created a monster


Oscar Wilde once wrote :- "There are two kinds of tragedy. One is not getting what you want. The other is getting it."

yellowcard

You dare not say anything bad about David but he does get preferential treatment from referees. You only have to look back to last years AI semi final. That was just frustration at him mis firing against the Dubs again, Kerry much too dependant on him and they have no plan B.

Kerry won't be as bad as that come business time surely.

Unlikely. In the All Ireland final back in July Dublin won via injury time points and Con O'Callaghan didn't score at all.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Clifford can't do it himself all the time. Take the Cliffords and O'Shea out and not many of the remaining 12 start for Derry, Dublin or a full strength Galway. Kerry are relying on Clifford to get 8+ points in these big games or they get beat.

Captain Obvious

Will be plenty of soul searching in the Kerry camp after losing with a near full strength team by ten points and conceded 3-18 against a Dublin team without Stephen Cluxton; David Byrne, Michael Fitzsimons,James McCarthy, Paul Mannion, Cormac Costello, Colm Basquel and Jack McCaffrey

Dublin used to target Mayo games back in the day when we were a threat. We took some wallopings in the League. We never beat them in that period in the League. Between the League and Championship it was a procession of beatings. They would have targeted this game. Not giving your main rivals an inch sets the tone for the rest of the year.

I expect that means that Dublin did not rate Monaghan then.

Quote from: Blowitupref on February 24, 2024, 05:43:47 PMAnother poor call by Cawley the ref. Black yes but it wasn't a goal scoring opportunity. Mayo 1-4 to 0-3 ahead.
.

There were defenders back covering. Should have been a free in.
So what, it's not soccer

GAA Rule states a clear goal scoring opportunity has to be denied to give a penalty.

I always thought a foul in the square was a penalty, goal scoring opportunity or not.
For me the black and the penalty were the right decision.

Tyrone were woeful in the first half and Mayo were only marginally better.
Dooher must have dished out some harsh words at the interval as Tyrone were by far the hungrier side in the second half and fully deserved to win. Mayo were awful. One man attacks...never going to work.
Some excellent point scoring from Mayo, but it was individual efforts from distance as no-one was running off the shoulder or looking the pass inside. On that form, Mayo are going nowhere.
Tyrone have hope now in Div 1.
McGeary back is a plus for them.
Harte was immense.
Is there life in them yet?

Unfortunately that is the correct assumption.

Night and day performance from Tyrone.

When they stopped being passive and started pushing up, running at people, firing quick ball into Canavan (an unreal display of ball winning tonight) they were immense.

Still a long way to go, but def a tonic after the turgid rubbish of the first 3 games.

Obviously its a penalty if the foul happens in the square. The foul happened outside the square today and ref gave it as a penalty as he deemed to a black card offence and goal scoring opportunity.

When it comes down to it, Dublin know they will beat Monaghan 95 times out of a 100 in the big games.

Don't like complaining about refs and a neutral in this one but how does Brendan Cawley keep getting games? Every time I watch him ref a game it's farcical and tonight was no different. Is there no judging panel?

Some absolutely bizarre decisions throughout, for both sides although Tyrone got the worst of it

I was at the game a d whilst I agree he was poor, I thought in the 2nd half in particular he was very good to tyrone.
Should have sent off Conn Kilpatrick near the end for attempting to strike, I stead he got away with a yellow. Numerous bad decisions on both sides but I think tyrone got the better of it.
