I could have the totally wrong incident lads but in that one O'Shea clearly pushed Davy Byrne in the back before the ball came in. It was extremely blatant. I presume it was the incident where O'Shea then played the ball around Cluxton (who had stopped playing) on the ground and rolled in? There was no talk of that incident in anyways because it was so blatantly obviously a free out. No Mayo fans even cheered the goal as it was so obviously a free. It was a bad mistake from O'Shea as he had the advantage over Byrne and could have won the ball cleanly but just had a rush of blood to the head.

Its that the replay was a poor one. It was clear push in the back but the replay only shows from him catching but you can see the guy about 2 feet ahead of him that AOS pushed. Correct decision.

It was a push in the back of Philly McMahon. Fairly blatant from what I remember and all the players stopped playing. AOS didn't even object.

A couple of weeks ago it was Dublin who handed Kerry two goals and the Dub posters here couldn't admit they came from tactics and pressure. This week Mayo 'hardly handed Dublin two goals' Dublin under serious pressure to win this otherwise it's a tarnished legacy. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 20/09/2016 09:36:37 1916753 Link 0 |

I saw the incident. You are right. There was a push in the back.

Dublin were poor except for a few standout performers but I dont agree that Mayo were much better and "wont be as good again". unclegerry (Mayo) - Posts: 1222 - 20/09/2016 09:46:30 1916766 Link 0 |

well done to both teams on serving up an exciting game in awful conditions, on balance neither did enough to win, and neither deserved to lose. jim Gavin can rightly feel aggrieved with the black card on james mc carthy( b/s rule) and the application of the rules thereafter by the referee. the suits in croke park have increased the prices for the replay (in comparison to the last 2 replayed hurling finals) and are content to draw paralells with the recent pricing for celtic/barcelona at the Aviva, even though that was a professional event!!! yet another example of how the paid suits in croke park have contempt for the ordinary GAA public and the amateur players of Dublin and Mayo. best of luck to both teams in the replay and i'm expecting another tense affair. totalrecall (Leitrim) - Posts: 916 - 20/09/2016 09:51:16 1916771 Link 1 |

So you are now admitting that you are an expert on blinkers and I am not surprised as quite a few of your fellow supporters only see the fouls being made by the opposition.

On the two own goals, it's not like it was the Mayo keeper under no pressure and he dropped/kicked the ball into his own net. MesAmis (Dublin) - Posts: 13710 - 20/09/2016 10:27:01 1916786 Link 1 |

Dublin under serious pressure to win this otherwise it's a tarnished legacy If Dublin lose the next day it because Mayo were the better team. I don't understand how a team that won 3 All Irelands in 5 years legacy can be tarnished because they lost a final? Same with Kerry team of noughties just because they didn't beat a Tyrone, Armagh in a final their legacy was never tarnished. Gael85 (Dublin) - Posts: 1433 - 20/09/2016 10:43:16 1916795 Link 0 |

Agree,3 All-Irelands in 5 years tarnished? I think Dublin won 2 in 25 years before that. ziggy32001 (Meath) - Posts: 8354 - 20/09/2016 11:01:03 1916804 Link 0 |

I can't speak for other posters but I didn't suggest Kerry didn't force Dublin into any error. The first goal was clearly a result of Kerry forcing Dublin to make an error with the kickout and they still had to go and put the ball in the net so was by no means handed to them. Was a bad mistake from dublins perspective but a forced one by Kerry. Second goal wasn't even an error it was a shot that dropped short and the Kerry forward followed it in and the ball went over the line. Had he not followed it in cluxton would have caught it. So I can't make out why anyone would say them goals were handed to Kerry. I certainly didn't say it

3 of the last 5 All Ireland titles, in 2 finals in a row, remind me again how many games they've gone unbeaten? How many league titles in recent years? Their legacy would be 'tarnished'?! Tell us another joke will ya, in need of a good laugh.

Ye are going for the title of 'greatest dublin team of all time' and back to back all irelands. Lose and ye are a very good team that didn't take the final step to greatness. Lose to Mayo and years Dublin supporters of sneering and calling them chokers will tarnish their achievements. In fairness, getting to back to back finals is a great achievement and that can't be taken away. Superglue (Kerry) - Posts: 1283 - 20/09/2016 12:18:01 1916854 Link 0 |

Losing one final is not going to tarnish this team. 3 All Irelands in 5 years, 6 Leinsters in a row and 4 league titles in a row. Heffo army will be the greatest Dublin team. This Dublin team is a great regardless what happens the next day. Mayo are far from bottlers, keep coming back for more every year. 3 finals in 5 years is good going
