I 2nd that. Absolutely hate the man's tactics but for the love of god I can't help feeling like he's going the whole way with these pack of lunatics. GameOfTyrones (Tyrone) - Posts: 469 - 27/08/2017 00:47:28 2038408 Link 1 |

Got to hold my hands up and say I got that wrong. Rochford deserves huge credit, the early switch of AOS into the forwards had Kerry quite confused. His mere presence in there seemed to upset Kerry. Mayo won the kick out battle hands down, they put huge pressure on every kickout. They got their match-ups right, Keegan played further forward, Boyle paced himself better in this game and hung back a bit more than last week, much to Mayo's advantage with some great blocks and tackles made. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 27/08/2017 09:25:04 2038471 Link 0 |
Very few mentioned the fact that lady year was SR first year with the Mayo team. And I think bringing in J mcEntee has helped out and all I think S R has done very well with Mayo leaving out last year's call of dropping Clarke. But fair play to Clarke he came back and got his place back. No throwing out the toys from the pram here. I can tell ye S R will be a hero in Castlebar in three weeks time. I can't see Mayo loosing this one. They have paid their dues and it will be great to see Clarke , a Moran and all the rest get their Celtic cross Well done again Mayo SamOnErrigal (Donegal) - Posts: 1427 - 27/08/2017 10:36:13 2038496 Link 0 |
Not bad to get a team to an All Ireland for a crowd of Donkeys as that idiot Eamonn Sweeney said. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11219 - 27/08/2017 11:58:57 2038520 Link 1 |
Fair play to Rochford and Mayo. GetOverTheBar (Tyrone) - Posts: 1388 - 27/08/2017 12:51:37 2038551 Link 0 |
I think it's only fair for me to eat a bit of humble pie on this. I thought Rochford got his tactics spot on. I know some have been critical on the substitutions made late on but I thought overall he got it right. Mayo completely nullified Dublin's long kickouts, they were able to handle the late inclusion of O'Gara and kept Dublins forwards scoreless from play in the first half. Aidan O'Shea put in a solid first half and his movement on Cian O'Sullivan kept him on the back foot. Mayo worked a lot of openings and should have been further ahead at half time. Although Dublin came out well second half, I thought Mayo competed really well, they left it all out on the pitch. keithlemon (Australia) - Posts: 920 - 20/09/2017 13:39:56 2048559 Link 0 |

One of the highlights of gthe day for me was the way Rochford held his dignity while clearly devastated, He seems like a class act. And that's more important in the long run. A wonderful exemplar of sportsmanship. avonali (Dublin) - Posts: 1974 - 20/09/2017 15:03:09 2048592 Link 1 |
Can I ask all Dublin posters why do ex Dublin players continuously attack Mayo players you don't see ex county players from any other counties doing this - Charlie Redmond again ! We all remember 1995 and Charlie's behaviour never seen in a final before or since

Very much this, i was actually a little annoyed that people were sticking a camera in his face and of the Mayo players. I can only say i have the height of respect for how Rochford and the Mayo team in general have held there dignity. Many a county can learn from them.

Hopefully he stays on for next year I think he can find a way to take this Mayo team to the next level Spoddgy (Mayo) - Posts: 660 - 20/09/2017 17:29:27 2048669 Link 0 |
No bother. Don't necessarily disagree with the overall sentiment of your post. Although I do think that the narrative of just how bad Dublin played in the first half is a little exaggerated. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13693 - 20/09/2017 17:41:54 2048676 Link 0 |
