Replying To Malonemagic: "Waynol i think you missed my point. Either mcquillan was trying to screw fermanagh which i dont believe , or he guessed . And if youre going to make a guess at least do it in a goal scoring situation. Dont be proactively awarding penalties." My bad. waynoI (Dublin) - Posts: 13650 - 09/07/2016 18:48:27 1879192 Link
Replying To TheMaster: "So a penalty shouldn't be a penalty if the player is facing away from goal? Where is that rule in the gaa? Listen he went to ground easy but quigley fouled keane for the fermanagh goal too. In the end, mayo won by 5 so it disnt make as much difference as people are making out. One thing i didnt like was the way rte played a replay to pete mcgrath to get a reaction out of him. It was a bit tacky and he deserves beter" Quigley stood his ground. Keane dived. Correct decision. O'Shea dived. Fermanagh got screwed. All that aside, it is not up to Mayo players to referee matches. That is the referee's job. Mayo players mandate is to win matches. This topic and the one about Aidan O'Shea is unwarranted. People's gripe is with referee's and the Gaa for allowing it. The same goes with the nonsense that surrounded Tiernan McCann and Tyrone 12 months ago. bennybunny (Cork) - Posts: 3917 - 09/07/2016 18:49:39 1879197 Link
roundball (Tipperary)- We are talking about the match today not what happened last year as it is of no relevance. That was a dive like a few others where he got handy frees and there should have been no penalty- not good for the game. Will our pundits get another rule change for this type of behaviour -maybe a blue card! browncows (Meath) - Posts: 2342 - 09/07/2016 18:49:44 1879198 Link
Replying To roundball: "I have a lot of sympathy for Fermanagh but I don't begrudge Mayo. They've been on the end of their fair share of rough calls over the years. Shame they caught this break against Fermanagh and not Kerry or Dublin. As for O Shea. Ye all need to lay of the melodramatic statements deriding him. First off ike most GAA players at this level he's an amateur that trains professionally so labelling him scum as he has been on social media is disgraceful. And yes of course the Fermanagh lads put in the same and deserve better but that's an issue for PAID administrators to sort out. He takes more physical abuse without reward than any player in the country barring maybe Michael Murphy. If he went down a bit easy so what? How frustrating must it be for him being hauled all over the place with often no reward. How many penalties has he won in championship? I'd guess 1." AOS not exactly your typical amateur player, he makes a lot of money from being a football player. You can't open a paper or turn on the TV without seeing him. He gets a free audi every year for being the face of the brand. Not exactly your typical amateur player.And he dosen't come across well in interviews, after the galway game last year he basically laughed at galway after the game and had he been interviewed today he would've done the same to fermanagh if his grin going off the pitch was anything to go by. For a lad who never won an all Ireland he sure he has no humility galwayfball (Galway) - Posts: 1678 - 09/07/2016 18:51:39 1879203 Link

Would you mind explaining to me what his amateur status has to do with anything? He is amateur so hes allowed to cheat. is that it? Gimme a break. The fella gets plenty of praise when he does good things on the pitch so let him take the flak thats coming his way now. He deserves it. joncarter (Galway) - Posts: 2692 - 09/07/2016 19:12:50 1879230 Link
Replying To Dubh_linn: "Evidence , not that it will make a jot of difference that the other officials need to have more say and be given responsibility to make call to ref on this sort of carry on. Those suggesting it didn't make the difference are missing the point." They all have the ability to make a decision and in this case it looked the linesman called it Maurice deegan. officials need to be punished for poor performances I have said this time and again it happens every second week they mess up big calls in a game and nothing ever done. Lapis for punished and o Shea will get all the attention but if officials did there mins these scenarios wouldn't be happening hill16no1man (Dublin) - Posts: 12665 - 09/07/2016 19:20:57 1879242 Link
Seems like a lot of people are just desperate to get a few things off their chest about O'Shea and have now found the perfect chance to do it. It wasn't a penalty, but Fermanagh were not "cheated out of the championship", as some people are suggesting. They were not going to win that match in any case. Barry Moran practically single-handedly cleaned them out at midfield and they were struggling to even get the ball past their half-back line for most of the second half. Mayo upped the ante in the second half and Fermanagh couldn't keep up the intensity they showed in the first. That was a bigger factor in them losing than the penalty.

Replying To yew_tree: "No it's not right to even it up...but that's what they do. Look Aidan was totally wrong in what he done. I hate diving and I don't want to see him or any Mayo player do it. The fact he has been hard done by in the past should not come into it but maybe in a players mind it does? Wayno would agree cillian should have had a penalty? I thought we were very hard done by. Fermanagh only scored 2 points in second and were time wasting until Mayo hit the front...it was all Mayo in the second half. That said there a serious problems in our play and I can't see us winning any all Ireland this year. We live to fight another day I suppose. Positives were colm Boyle, Keith, big Barry when he came on and old realisble Dillon...worrying however that we need to keep going back to the older guys. PS. Great Fermanagh people near me and I just saw Pete McGraths interview after and he is an absolute gentleman. I wish him and Fermanagh well in the future. We know how it feels to feel let down and hard done by after a defeat." Ah yew tree, you cannot have it everyway, on the mayo blog you are saying F&k everybody in the country about the O'Shea incident. You come on here speaking out of both sides of your mouth. I see you say you watched the game back at home you might review the Colm Boyle incident near the end and condone him kneeing young Corrigan in the head whilst he was on his back. Way worse than what Connolly encountered against Meath a few weeks back. I hope the sunday game panel review and highlight this. EDH (Galway)* - Posts: 367 - 09/07/2016 20:13:13 1879322 Link
The hysteria from some of the "wee girls" on here today is bordering on pathetic. OK, I understand ye wanted Fermanagh to win but at least try to be a little bit balanced. The big decision according to ye all was the penalty. Soft or not the hand went in and AOS went down. Soft yes but still a penalty. Some of ye claiming he was diving all day. A load of bull*t. He was dragged and pulled all afternoon and got less than half the frees he should have got. The COC penalty claim was valid but ye choose to ignore that and an obvious push on Boyle for the Fermanagh goal is totally disregarded. I thought Fermanagh were terrific today but in all honesty there should have been a bigger winning margin. I decided not to reply to any of the nonsense I've seen on here until I got home from the game and watched it again with time to review things several times. Having done so I admit that my first impressions of some of the incidents were wrong but on the whole Mayo were more sinned against than sinners. Some of the posters on this thread should really take a long hard look in the mirror and be as objective when viewing their own team. ponga (Mayo)** - Posts: 651 - 09/07/2016 20:40:33 1879365 Link

Play the sport. Stop being a baby. They both ran for the ball and Keane did the same thing as every single Mayo players did for the game... DIVED.. I am not anti Mayo.. The ref allowed you to get away with that nonsense as they do with a whole host of other savvy teams.

Typical blinkered reply, the evidence is so clear that it was a dive & people across the country are calling it as it is. It's not all anti Mayo as you are portraying, Aidan O Shea is a player admired by many of us for his skill but it doesn't matter whether your from Galway or Mayo or Tyrone or wherever, diving is cheating & not an aspect we want to watch in Gaa. Take off the blinkers man. moc.dna (Galway)** - Posts: 1212 - 09/07/2016 20:57:07 1879404 Link

As a Mayo poster I wouldn't be Aidan's biggest cheerleader, but there's no denying he gets a fair amount of roughhousing. Because he's a big strong lad he's supposed to just take it? If he uses his strength he's accused of charging. What he did today none of us want to see, but balance that up with him getting Philly McMahon off a black or yellow last year when the replay was in the melting pot, a player who was giving him plenty. I think some balance is needed here as in every rush to judgement. Pericles (Mayo) - Posts: 2521 - 09/07/2016 21:02:27 1879426 Link
Replying To gotmilk: "Quit with the BS. It was a dive, there is nothing else to say about it." I never said it wasnt a dive and i never claimed it was a penalty either. Im simply putting it into context. There isnt a county team out there who havent had someone go to ground easy to win a foul. Your own full forward blatantly fouled the mayo full back for your goal when he was beaten in the chase for the ball - I havent noticed you pointing that out though. You cant have it every way. The reality is there were two dodgey goal in the game, one for each team. They cancelled each other out. People claim the mayo goal changed the game but so did the fermanagh goal as mayo were just getting up a head of steam when it happened.
