Interesting to see most posters on here are real supportive and knowledgeable of the rules.I dont care what the rule says,there is no way what Keegan did merited a red card.It was pathetic.The rule has to change,whereby a silly,feeble,petulent throw of the leg,or slap of a hand,merits a yellow as opposed to a red.It was,perhaps,the softest red card i have ever seen.As everyone seems to be an expert on the rule book,i say the law,in this case,is an ass,supported by a few stubborn donkeys.

Yeah I thought CO'C done well but I was surprised to see him get man of the match. My 3 nominations would have been O'Shea, Boyle and O'Donoghue and I'd have given it to O'Donoghue. There's no doubt if he kicked that last chance ensuring a Kerry victory, he'd have been a shoe-in for man of the match.

Great game. Mayo are a better unit.They have the back up in management to ensure proper recovery. Kerry have shown their full hand and they will ultimately come up short in the replay. Mayo will win it for Lee who has been driving them on for the last few seasons. The group are not allowing anything or anybody to impinge on them from the outside.Mayo by two or three points probably after extra time.

Keegan has been the best half-back in the country for the past 2 years. Mayo will win it in normal time by 3-4 points.

That was an excellent contest, makes you proud of the sport and realise how lucky we are to be entertained like this each summer. I thought AOS was entitled to motm when watching the game but having watched the 2nd half again today it is hard to argue with COC, he kicked some vital scores when Mayo badly needed them. Other than 4 great runs at the Kerry defence AOS didn't do a whole lot in the 2nd half, but that is judging everything from TV pictures. Colm Boyle was outstanding as well but his one handling mistake could have cost Mayo the game. As a neutral I was delighted with the result because it will be excellent to see these 2 go at it again.

Well done to each and every Mayo supporter there yesterday, we really did make a difference! It was brilliant to see so much green and red flying. The volume of cheering on the lads has noticeably increased too, the lads on the pitch notice it too!

You are correct Former_Poster, but that just underlines how ad hoc and unreliable the selection of MOTM is - just like the all stars actually. I wouldnt have given it to O'Connor either. But I dont think o'donoghue was deserving of it. He was tied up for most of the game, he kicked some massive chances wide and the goal was a tap in. Id have given it to o'shea personally. Re kerry, I though david moran and johnny buckley deserved more praise than O'Donoghue.

We would urge as many Mayo supporters as possible to get tickets for the replay in Limerick. We need as much support as yesterday, if not more! We need to turn the Gaelic Grounds into a #seaofgreenandred

Well now that was interesting!! Only back home today and all the talk on here and other places is about Mayo and their heroic comeback and how they will now have the confidence to go on and beat a 'poor' Kerry side etc etc etc

My own viewpoint is this, Mayo played probably the best 30 minutes of football they have ever produced under Horan and it still wasn't enough to sink us. Kerry were pretty poor yesterday for long spells, especially our forwards who were guilty of a lot of unforced errors.

Despite this we were in a position a minute into the second half from which we should have sown up the game and won it handy, this is a young side and their naivety allowed Mayo to come back. Once we started to play with our heads up in last 5 minutes Mayo were on the ropes and I think we should have snatched it. I'm confident about the replay, we have the stronger bench, we have the momentum, and we are the team that can play to a far better standard than what we saw yesterday and crucially we won't have a ref who decided to throw on a Mayo jersey one he sent a player off!! I reiterate Mayo have shown all their cards and Kerry's still standing. I'd except us to out number Mayo fans in Limerick and for us to drive on and get the job done. Coming through a massive test like yesterday will do more for development of our young lads than two summer of training. Its Kerry's to lose...

P.S. Massive congrats to Jack and Minors for getting us back into final for first time since 2006. They are a great young side once they get going, and will be hard to beat in the final. An Riocht Abu!!!

Our semi-final last year was also hailed a great game. Shame for us that we lost out. Hats off to the capital for winning on the day. We had a poor 3rd quarter that day as well but we did recover. We missed a crucial point opportunity with a minute to go and the capital duly punished that with two late goals. Again yesterday we had a poor 3rd quarter. We regrouped like last year but to better affect in the end. Our changes had minimal impact last year. Our changes had more of an impact yesterday. In both semi-finals, the poor 3rd quarter, while giving full credit to our respective opposition, we were naive both games and made silly mistakes which contributed to it. I hope for our sake we'll have learned something from it.
