Great first half. Mayo bringing real intensity and fight to the game. Doing great defending getting turnovers etc. Dubs not their usual self....yet! seanie_boy (Tyrone) - Posts: 4235 - 10/08/2019 17:51:33 2223433 Link
As usual Dublin playing 15 men behind the ball...what happened to the open expansive game and playing football the traditional way...yes we knew Gavin was talking tripe all along mayotyroneman (Tyrone) - Posts: 1821 - 10/08/2019 17:52:43 2223434 Link
A great first half. Am sure the 'special one' will be brought on now. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 10/08/2019 17:56:30 2223437 Link
How is McCauley still on the pitch? Constant elbow and trips , he had six fouls before he got a yellow. gallarus14 (Kerry) - Posts: 127 - 10/08/2019 17:57:05 2223438 Link
Game over folks, it was fun while it lasted though. Htaem (Meath) - Posts: 8657 - 10/08/2019 18:02:22 2223440 Link
Keegan conceded one goal and should be 2. Liability in full back line as I predicted tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 10/08/2019 18:03:28 2223441 Link

Jesus but Joe Brolly is going to tear mayo apart after this match. Wally (Tyrone) - Posts: 912 - 10/08/2019 18:14:04 2223449 Link
Pros vs semi pros. The gap is going to get bigger over the next 5 year's. Jack_Goff (Meath) - Posts: 2920 - 10/08/2019 18:14:06 2223450 Link

Some second half from Dublin. Incredible. greysoil (Monaghan) - Posts: 965 - 10/08/2019 18:23:37 2223455 Link
Replying To festinog: "Very intense first half; if Dublin go on and lose this their tactics will definitely be part of the conversation. One thing to die with your boots on, but when you've got your entire team in your own half against a team as aggressive as Mayo, you're asking for trouble. Something new needed from Dublin in the second half, while at the same time we'll need to see if Mayo can maintain this pace. For all their possession they're only two points up." Gavin's tactical nous has always been questionable. See 2014 semi final and team selection for 2017 final. The big names have upped it in the 2nd half and papered over those cracks in style. cavanman47 (Cavan) - Posts: 5012 - 10/08/2019 18:23:48 2223456 Link

Replying To Wally: "Game over" It's over for all of us wally. It's pros against ametures , and there is no sport in that. gallarus14 (Kerry) - Posts: 127 - 10/08/2019 18:26:06 2223458 Link
Replying To Ronan1989: "Dublin should win this fairly comfortably in the end. Mayo were quite impressive against an underperforming Donegal team with a few players still affected by their previous knocks and in front of their home fans. But they let Donegal back into it and only win in the end because their kicking accuracy was slightly less poor than Donegal and it was still like 30%. A full strength Dublin team in Croke Park wont be so complacent. I predict Dublin winning by 8 plus points." i think i was fairly accurate:p Fair play to Tom Parsons though Ronan1989 (Donegal) - Posts: 81 - 10/08/2019 18:27:20 2223459 Link

The big names have upped it in the 2nd half and papered over those cracks in style." I'm not sure. I'm wondering if he ceded the first half counting on Mayo playing their hearts out, and their legs giving up in the second. He's not leading Dublin to their fifth by accident and it's possible he just played Horan like a fiddle. festinog (Galway) - Posts: 3097 - 10/08/2019 18:29:57 2223460 Link
