All-Ireland Series Sam Maguire 2026

[Armagh18]

Enjoyable game, Mayo did very well after going so far behind and it's there for them.

Ref letting it go rightly, would need to be cuter for the Kerry men grabbing the tacklers arm and falling to the ground though.

Keepers allowed to put head down and charge at a player? Whats the rule on it if its inside the small rectangle does anyone know

Charging by defender/keeper in small square = penalty.

Can't remember any keeper ever being done for that though.

[Schkite]

Have to give Mayo serious credit, thought they were really up against it after the goal, but they responded very well. Both sides missed some scoreable points but Mayo would have to be very happy with that given they'll be kicking into Canal End 2nd half

Is it not a myth that keeper can't be tackled in small square?

Was he not out of the square then?

[bennydorano]

Dylan Casey boxed in the face there with a closed fist/forearm. But he's not Michael Murphy so lads here won't care.

Only time DC has been seen or mentioned.

[tyroneman]

Terrific response from Mayo. Set up for a cracking 2nd half.

[Silkyskillssunshinee]

Mayo will surely get tired from their work rate eventually and Kerry will pick them off down the home strait.

Cheers. Thought it would be and like you say never saw it given. Just another rule ignored by refs

[OakLeaf]

The keeper is like any other player with respect to the tackle. The only exception is that you can't shoulder charge the keeper inside the small square. They tend to get an easy run from referees though.

Charging by defender/keeper in either the big or small square is a penalty tbf

[SouthOfThe Bann]

Mayo better team after first 15. Kerry cant deal with their high press.

Expect Mayo to win by 3 or 4.

[Wildweasel74]

Another rule, u just after asking earlier if u can tackle the Keeper in the small square.

[Captain Obvious]

Mayo's All-Ireland final to lose now that they will be playing into canal scoring end.

Yeah thats maybe the worry. Been fantastic so far

[mrdeeds]

Why does David Clifford always get away with a push in the face on opponent when he has the ball. Equivalent of Murphy and his closed fist tackle.
