Rules state ,blah blah blah!

I have seen much worse in games and no red card,so I am sorry,but that is a silly thing to say on your part..

No it isn't.

As much as I'd love you to regale me with your titanic battles and games you've seen where men killed each other, I don't think they hold relevance to the game actually taking place.

The rule says red but I suppose the ref could have used discretion given it had no real malice, missed and its not a dirty game. However, if the ref is playing the rules to the letter then why did Mayo not get a penalty for a pull back which would also have been black for the keeper. Consistency again is the key failure.

Red card no doubt. How anyone on here can say it was otherwise need to brush up on the rules.

Anyone agree that Tom Carr is a decent co-commentator?

Kerry would wasn't to be careful this ref is itching to even the teams up, some shocking cards for nothing. I think both teams will lynch this guy.

Whoever wins between Donegal and Dublin will coast past these two.

Wasnt much of a kick to be fair.More a soft tap.No malice.Wheres the rule for common sense?Yellow would have sufficed.One of the harshest red cards ive ever seen.

Well Mayo playing going for broke, fair play to them, Kerry in real trouble with those kickouts.

Kicking or striking a player is an automatic sending off offence. Whether or not there was malicious intent or it was out of character or somebody was hurt is absolutely irrelevant. If these other factors should be considered then it just becomes a subjective, arbitrary decision by the ref. The many people who slam refs all the time for inconsistency should be applauding this clear, unambiguous application of the rules.

Should have been a black card. If the refs don't use it get rid of it!

Great peno, hats off to Mayo, great heart!

Kerry boys been beaten by Mayo men its no contest.

Mayo showing how to combat cynical fouling. Run at them. Moran has fouled o'shea at least 6 or 7 times if not more.

What a second half!!!

Some game. I was right, a draw. Not the best result for either team, an extra 7o minutes will really take it out of either side.

Everyoe va-va-vooming over Mayo in the second half, They where 4 points down at half time fair enough, But they where 4 points up with 3 minutes to go ? They threw it away in the last few minutes there!!
