People at games haven't a notion of what a black card is either. Tired of explaining to people sitting beside me going bananas why the ref gave a yellow. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7902 - 23/07/2019 13:17:55 2215237 Link
Replying To Wally: "No its not" Yes it is. The worst team in semis. By some distance. royaldunne (Meath) - Posts: 19449 - 23/07/2019 17:13:52 2215354 Link
Replying To MayoDan: "What Boyle and Keegan did were not black card offences! Amazing how people still don't know the rules on that. Oisin McConville called them right on commentary." I think the Boyle one should have been red. Cowardly act. opa01 (Cavan) - Posts: 503 - 23/07/2019 17:25:42 2215360 Link
Replying To opa01: "I think the Boyle one should have been red. Cowardly act." For what? He actually got his hands on the ball. A bit reckless but no more than a yellow. A Meath player got away with a very late hit on Boyle in the 1st half. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 420 - 23/07/2019 17:41:20 2215368 Link
No neither Keegan or Boyle's fouls were cynical at all more fool me...... panamasam (Australia) - Posts: 2782 - 23/07/2019 17:51:40 2215372 Link
Boyle - much like O'Connor - gets away with a lot. Agree with previous comment... dublin5 (Dublin) - Posts: 30 - 23/07/2019 18:36:53 2215392 Link
Replying To panamasam: "No neither Keegan or Boyle's fouls were cynical at all more fool me......" It's not a question of being cynical. Neither were black cards and that's the reality. MayoDan (Mayo) - Posts: 420 - 23/07/2019 19:35:45 2215410 Link
Was fortunate to attend this with friends from Meath. Meath were no way 9 points worse on the day. Id argue Meath have one of the best FB lines in the country. Meaths problem is a lack of quality forwards and a lack of strength in depth and id fear for them in division 1. Mayo are a busted flush, Donegal are a far superior team and will put the final nail in their season in Castlebar. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 23/07/2019 19:44:12 2215415 Link

Replying To Borderroyal: "Keegan got blaCk cardv dublin on connolly for very same foul" That wasn't a black card either. Refs were under far more pressure back then to hand them out. A bit of common sense is prevailing, not every foul is a black card. TheFlaker (Mayo) - Posts: 7902 - 24/07/2019 12:24:38 2215694 Link
Replying To MayoDan: "For what? He actually got his hands on the ball. A bit reckless but no more than a yellow. A Meath player got away with a very late hit on Boyle in the 1st half." Well. That would be a lie. I'd say the ball was over the bar by the time Boyle reached him. Very reckless tackle. Added to his second indiscretion later on he was lucky to be on the pitch at the end.

Replying To MayoDan: "For what? He actually got his hands on the ball. A bit reckless but no more than a yellow. A Meath player got away with a very late hit on Boyle in the 1st half." For late hit on Conlon after he put the ball over the bar. Cut across the back of his legs with no intent to get anywhere near the ball. Then lay down as if he was injured. Conlon gave him a mouthful. opa01 (Cavan) - Posts: 503 - 24/07/2019 13:42:59 2215741 Link

Replying To dublin5: "Boyle - much like O'Connor - gets away with a lot. Agree with previous comment..." I think this is the reason so many neutrals have no sympathy for Mayo over the years, the antics of Boyle,Keegan, O'Connnor O'Shea etc just turned so many neutrals away from them, that 'tackle' by Boyle the last day, Keegan throwing the GPS etc just shows what they are about really.

Replying To Wally: "What do you classify as successful?" hes saying Tyrone lack a kicking game . The others who remain in the competition , do. BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 25/07/2019 18:06:08 2216448 Link

Mayo were too soft for years and being the loveable losers has done F all for us down the years. That said I travel a lot and people generally have great things to say to me about Mayo football....unless they are just too polite to tell me what they really think...;) yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11232 - 25/07/2019 18:41:20 2216460 Link

Boyle's timing was off as is your's. neverright (Roscommon) - Posts: 1648 - 25/07/2019 19:34:24 2216473 Link
Replying To BeJasus: "hes saying Tyrone lack a kicking game . The others who remain in the competition , do." I don't think that is true nor do I think that is what he means I actually don't think he knows how to articulate what he is saying. He has stated that Tyrone are the worst team in the semi finals but that doesn't mean they are not successful. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 913 - 25/07/2019 19:35:59 2216474 Link
