Comiserations to Armagh. Jemar Hall is a classy footballer, kicked some lovely points. We continue to make life difficult for ourselves, giving away ball. The kickouts need to be sorted. Aidan O'Shea has to be a very tired man doing the usual work and dropping deep for our kickouts. The old stubborn keep plugging away until the end streak kept us in it. Early days for Darren Coen but he's looking a great prospect. David Clarke was a bit shaky on some kickouts but coming off his line to concede a point and not a goal won us the game.

The referee's performance tonight clearly wasn't good enough he --------and that's not good enough.

Armagh had their moments this yr,
They aren't world beaters but to travel 4 hrs down, for the players to train that hard,
The referee was that shocking
I've been on this forum for years and I can't get over the refereeing!!!
Best of luck Mayo in the next round

Deegan ---if ever a game decided by a ref that was it.
Very unfair on armagh who trained hard and played well but had no chance from start.

How did Armagh not score a goal when one of their players (not sure who) was through on goal with Clarke off his line. He got the point but all he had to do was keep it down and it's a different game. Also the free at the end where they could have levelled, why on earth did they not work it in. He was never going to score from there. The biggest negative for me is that we won't get to see anymore of Jarlath Og Burns. An absolute class player and one of my favourites to watch. Anyway hard luck to Armagh they are an entertaining side.

I couldn't get to the game, so had to rely on watching it on Sky. I haven't seen the frees stats, so don't know if one side ended up getting the lion's share, but each ended up getting roughly the same number of scoreable chances from placed balls and scoring and missing roughly the same (4 points each from frees). Whatever about Mo Deegan's performance, the Mayo lads did their best to balance things up when they should have ruthlessly shut the door on Armagh after going 5 up. I think there will be worse teams in the Super 8s than Armagh and Mayo will need to find some kind of form to avoid failing to make it there two years running. Looks like Tyrone have re-found their mojo and we'll need to find ours next weekend or we'll be gone.

From polls on twitter mayo hope to draw Meath
Revenge for 96
Could be a feisty encounter
Wouldn't fancy Meath on their dire last appearance

Deegan made a serious error in the game that many posters would not be aware of. With approx 10 mins left Cillian O 'Connor had a free on the sideline approx 45 metres out. Before he took it Deegan blew and gave Mayo a free on the 13m line and booked Mark Sheils. Wrong on the free. A ref can't blow for a free when the ball is not in play. Makes sense. Otherwise frees could be given 95 metres away before kick outs. It was not an error of judgement but of fact which is inexcusable.

I had money on Mayo lads but I have to say that Deegan was C-A-T.
Refs are a massive problem in both codes.

I was at the game and watched it back this morning. Deegan didn't seem over controversial and watching it back there certainly isn't a case for saying he cost Armagh the game. Armagh seemed annoyed by almost every decision. They were constantly getting penalised for 2 man tackles then complaining about it. The incidents where Deegan gave a free or moved the ball forward for off the ball stuff were proven to be the right decisions when looking at the replays. Please point out these clear mistakes Deegan made costing Armagh the game.

Belclare and a couple of Rossies of course saying Mayo were handed the game by the ref. The same lads who sneer at Mayo posters for any mention of a ref in defeat. Fantastic double standards!

You can blame refs all you like. Geezer's tactics in letting Mayo have the short kickout against the wind were just stupid. The shot selection in the 2nd half was very poor. The off the ball foul on McLoughlin to hand Mayo a score when they couldn't buy one was idiotic and although Clarke did make a brilliant save from Jamie Clarke, at that distance out, he shouldn't have smelt it. Not saying Deegan was good because he wasn't but Mayo were missing Dermot O'Connor, had Lee Keegan taken off injured and were forced to put on a half fit Cillian O'Connor. Mayo were there for the taking. Malachy O'Rourke is available, if I were Geezer I'd be as worried as Cian O'Neill and the Meath manager if they lose next weekend because O'Rourke will be getting phone calls from all those county boards but Armagh is easiest commute.
