Even if Mayo had have been awarded the penalty and scored it, the Dubs still would have found a way to win it. 2setsofrules (Down) - Posts: 99 - 17/09/2017 17:55:03 2046819 Link
Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Two dubs run into eachother and get a free and when its brought to the ref brings it in 13 meters. # football is dead." It's funny what fools like you see. He didn't give the free for the two Dublin players colliding. He gave the free after that when two mayo players had their arms around the Dublin player. Watch it back.

Dublin deserving victors. Didn't like their antics at the end - similar to Kerry in 2014 - but this Dublin team still won despite not playing to their full potential. Mayo bottled it at the end once again when Cillian O'Connor had the chance to win it. Well done Dublin. 3 in a row is a huge feat though will there be questions over this 3 in a row when we look back in future years in that 2 of those victories were over Mayo?

Stupid post, yes it could have been a penalty, but to say dublin didnt deserve it is just sour grapes, dublin played well in the second half and well done them. As for Mayo, how many more chances do ye need to win the all ireland PyatPree (Cork) - Posts: 376 - 17/09/2017 18:04:20 2046830 Link

Replying To HurlingSnob: "Watch it back and then apologise to me." I agree the two mayo players fouled the dublin player ,definate free. Very sorry for Mayo, a superb team but they had it in the bag and threw it away. Clarkes last kickout to midfield was pure madness, The foul for the last free was madness. Too many panicked substitutions by Mayo. The Dublin bench won it. Congratulations to Dublin. Mayo will be back next yr no doubt. Gaaisbest (Cork) - Posts: 1 - 17/09/2017 18:28:08 2046862 Link

He gave the free after that when two mayo players had their arms around the Dublin player. Watch it back." Kilkenny had took all his steps before being floored. Got up and took more before the tackle. Over carried all day long and it's debatable if it's a foul. Dublin still deserved to win. Can't blame ref. Mayo needed to show more composure. One on one and hit it straight at Cluxton. Vaughan brainfart moment and kick out at end. Cillian O Connor should have looked for give and go on free to get a bettee chance. doratheexplorer (Cavan) - Posts: 1467 - 17/09/2017 18:30:41 2046868 Link

Surprised the RTE commentators didnt pick up on that at the time. gotmilk (Fermanagh) - Posts: 4971 - 17/09/2017 18:33:20 2046869 Link
I can see why Mayo fans might be unhappy with the ref but 1) the free at the end of the first half was for a tackle after the Kilkenny/Andrews collision - it may still have been soft but that's another argument 2) there was contact outside the square and then heavy contact in the square - if he blew for the first contact it was a free 3) the CoC free chance came from a incorrect line Ball and a fairly soft free 4) he correctly gave Mayo 2 mins to equalise due to time wasting -,this is not always the case ( 2011) 5) it was a red card All in all Mayo probably were unlucky on the big calls but don't think any of them were 100 pc wrong They lost the game -from 3/4 easy wides - not being able to sustain the effort on ckuxtons kick outs ab ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 17/09/2017 18:36:49 2046874 Link
Well done Dublin but the circumstances around your wins must bother you as fans cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 17/09/2017 18:43:03 2046879 Link
The steps for the Dublin goal is unreal. 9 or so steps taken. NaomhNaille (Donegal) - Posts: 124 - 17/09/2017 18:46:06 2046881 Link
.2/2, Donal Vaughan giving up a one man advantage before it even happened CoC missing an easy free in first half and a chance to win it at the end - Surely a narrow angle free for a right footed kicker should be taken off the ground Aidan o shea kicking a Hail Mary wide when he had options ( ditto Andy Moran) Allowing Janes McCarthy win a few key kick outs In second half ruanua (Donegal) - Posts: 4966 - 17/09/2017 18:47:37 2046883 Link

Replying To KingdomBoy1: "Will you go away and take your head outta your arse." Actually hes right. Ref get free for a pull by Keegan who gave away 5 frees while on a yellow. reffingmad (Roscommon) - Posts: 371 - 17/09/2017 18:57:18 2046893 Link
Replying To NaomhNaille: "The steps for the Dublin goal is unreal. 9 or so steps taken." Just listened to Pat Mceananey on the radio who was asked about the referee's performance. He said he reviewed all the decisions made and he found that the referee got them all 100% correct. Specifically he mentioned the sending off of Vaughan, the Dublin free at the end of the first half where initially two Dublin players ran into each other (he said vaughan came in and gave the ref no choice) and finally on the penalty he said the ref definitely got it right as the foul began outside the box. In fact he went on to say that the referee was "Brilliant" on the day, and the only mistake he could find was one made by the linesman near the end where Mayo got the sideline ball and it should have went to Dublin. So thats that, the referee cannot be blamed so surely we now have to look at the inability of Mayo to win a match they could have won?

Mayo were better side but Dublin were more composed when it mattered and that is what won it. seanie08 (Monaghan) - Posts: 1799 - 17/09/2017 19:02:04 2046895 Link
