Ulsterman, what are you raving about? You could do us all a favour by taking the two bags of spuds down off your shoulders. You never contribute to any post only instigate bs. Grow up and act your age ffs. Keyboard warrior..........

Ulsterman, " Mayo are a bad side"?? Doesn't really make a lot of sense to say such a thing, Mayo are top of division one along with Cork, after beating Kerry on their patch, hammered Galway and went up to Derry and won fairly handy.
I am not suggesting we are the best in the country but to say we are a bad team is just rubbish.

To be honest it's just ridiculous trying to reason with some of you on here. If mayo go on to beat Cork in a league final, you and your gang will say " ah well Mayo wont do that when it counts" if we get hammered by Cork in a final it will be" typical Mayo bottlers, cant hack hard teams at all".

Nonsense, nonsense is all it is. Mayo are playing well, with a few bucks trying to hold off peaking till later on, we will find out more in the summer but my prediction at this moment would be we are the nearest to the big 3 and a bit ahead of the pack.

Hogo, when the dust settles you'll find that head to head only applies where TWO teams are level on points and not three or more teams as described by you.

I absolute hate having to repeat this to those out there who just cannot grasp what is a very simple concept for others to understand .

Mayo are a good side but many of the top teams would have put them away in the first half. They did a lot of fumbling and mis-passing and on several occasions they fielded high ball only to come down and hand it to an opponent. I would like to see certain forwards not taking on shots from impossible positions and cut out some of the wayward shooting. Some of the old failings are still very obvious but Mayo certainly have the players and if they can cut out some of the above who knows what they can achieve. They have good men at the helm in O'Mahony and Tommy Lyons !!

Cavan Slasher, a lot of what you say is true. I always felt today we had another gear though and it was put into action in last 15 min. The two Morts were not on song, Aiden o Shea was not really in it till last 20 min( i honestly believe he will be mighty come the hard ground), Parsons and Seamus were only in on patches.
All above will not perform like today in the summer. The potential is more evident this year imo than any year since 96. We still have a major problem though dealing with big robust playmakers, clerkin could push through at ease, like Joe Sheridan last year we simply couldnt deal with it.

Cork, next week will tell us more about Mayos progress. Nobody from Mayo will be getting carried away even if we happened to win the league. Sligo are in the long grass and that will be a big test in Macerzivic , i'm sure we went to Sligo last time in championship and lost after winning the league.

The only complaint I have about that game was the four and a half minutes extra time played in the first half where Mayo scored 1-1 but to be fair to them they came from 6 points down to win by three in the second half so well done on their victory they are a good outfit who could achieve a lot if they played for 70 minutes. As for ourselves we desperately need a full back to mark the big full forwards about these days, the goals totally killed us but hey we are a resilent lot and wont give up until the fat lady sings. Bring on the Kingdom we have nothing to lose and the Monaghan boys will be well up for this one given the bit of history between the sides.

Crrection, we lost in Sligo year before we won the league and lost to the Ross the year we won it, in the championship.

seanie the reason why additional time was played in the first half was due to two monaghan players going down injured to try and take the steam out of the game..after a minute each lieing on the deck, they got up and jogged away...this tactic backfired big time in that last 2 minutes...fair dues to the ref for adding on the time...and my belief is that monaghan are by no means safe from relegation...a defeat next week and they are gone if tyrone beat the dubs..however i have a feeling they can go to kerry and do a job

Exactly right mayotyrone, there were delays in the injury time. I cant understand why a fella from antrim is the most concerned person on the forum...?

I will continue to highlight unfairness, inconsistency and double standards wherever I see them.

Ulsterman, the ref played extra time because of Monaghan players going down pretending to need attention and you say Mayo got away with unfair dragging??? take a look over the game again and you will see that every time mayo started running with the ball, a Monaghan player would pull him back to slow him down. Also every time Mayo got a free kick a monaghan man would kick the ball 10 yards (or more) away. You also say Mayo are a bad football team who will never win an all-Ireland............................. just take a look at yourself.

Really Ulsterman? Funny I seem to recall ur views on the mayo meath game last year had more to say about mayo bottlers than the 6 point handicap mayo were lumbered with from poor officiating... What was that about double standards?

On the topic of Mayo, is anyone else noticing how they are blatantly trying to play the tyrone/ulster style of play?

Under the new rules which Banty is supporting, the Referee is not allowed to blow for half or full time until the ball goes dead after the alloted time has elapsed. He also has the right to add time at his own discretion on to the alloted time. That is probably reflected in the MC at all these games announcing that there will be AT LEAST ? minutes of injury time. Get over it, Mayo have the points in the bag.

No not at all. I do however find it quite Ironic given some of the critism that has been on here regarding it over the past few years. Mayo fans in particular with their brand of "pure football".

So if you admit you are doing it, what is your opinion on it?

whyyousosad - I don't see anyone from Monaghan complaining too much about this - A couple of people referred to it but they also said fair play to Mayo. I think in the main Monaghan supporters are more annoyed that we threw it away.

So kindly keep your inflammatory "Get over it" type comments to yourself
