Yeah in semi final. Happens too much that they get the calls for it to be a coincidence.

Oh give over ffs.

Penalty was a penalty.

Square ball was badly missed.

Ball not conclusively shown to be over the line.

Judging by this weekend, Kerry will  win Sam  with the winning point  being deflected off a seagull, and England.... No, I can't  even  say it

Unbelievable the luck  both had though.

befair

Dublin unlucky, but that's football; blame their shooting, not the officials

I wouldnt be worried about Clifford, its the lads round him need pick it up.They not change the keepers but i preferred the other boy. Tom O'Sullivan still must be way off it when they not risk him as a sub. Kerry in the final playing poor enough last 3 games. Due a big game. Mayo got a good chance but luck always went against them in big games.

I think it was a penalty and I'm not convinced it was over the line so really the only one that was wrong was the square ball

Officials are part of the game. Of course they can shoulder blame.

Penalty is definitely one that could have went either way. Are you looking for goal line technology or what? It was a goal

Showing goalline clearance again, looks over but the camera on the bck stanchion and not in line. so is the rule partially over or all over?

Quote from: JollyGreenGiant on July 12, 2026, 12:05:56 PMReally in bonus territory for Dublin today. Never expected a semi final. Would be great to see a solid performance that causes Kerry problems. But I still think Kerry will make light work here.

If your mindset is bonus territory then a trimming is likely as what happened to Louth yesterday and Meath last year.

I doubt Ger Brennan and his team that are filled with inter county or club All-Ireland winners has that mindset. 

Thats for me as supporter. But I have watched Dublin across this season, and my expectation after Louth was that Donegal was the end of the road. That would not have been the team's mindset, and they played accordingly. But expectations were at all all time low.

While not entirely four square with 2010, I think there has been enough development to hopefully see promotion, a Leinster Title, and another tilt at at least another AI Semi Final in 2027. McMorrow, Doran, Clancy, Guiden, POC all had good seasons. Scully really looked like a leader, and will hopefully continue on. I think the Goalkeeper position is yet to be properly finalised.

I'm pleased that we put it up to Kerry in many ways, although I felt the game wasnt in doubt with 10 mins to go.

Jesus some people here must have a few tinfoil hats lying about. As someone else said I wouldn't feel too sorry for a team or fanbase that has seen 9 All Irelands

Mayo will fancy their chances big time in the final going off that kerry display

I fear Mayo will  do what Mayo usually do in  AI finals
