Not the Kerry way!

Down put manners on you in the 60s and Dubs in the 70s and Tyrone on the 2000s.

I like Kerry but don't pretend you are not as ruthless as anyone when push comes to shove.

There's a sporting and unsporting context. Galvin and O'Mahony in fairness brought in some toughness required. Things like a poke in the eye though in fairness is over the top. I suppose to win an All-Ireland there has to be a certain nasty streak. Mayo have that in their current game. The capital, while not roaring into the faces of their opponents as some of the Dubs said they did in the past after scoring, still have a certain nasty streak there as well. Possibly something which has influenced Mayo? Anyways it is a man's game. Any team needs to be prepared for a certain nasty streak.
