Replying To Belclare98:  "Lost second half 2 11 to 0 7 today, a better forward team , like Kerry, Donegal, Roscommon, Tyrone, Galway score 5 15 in that second half.."
For the record the 2nd half it was Roscommon 1-17 Mayo 0-7 was similar and I'm sure the point tommy132 was making. Monaghan will look back at the 2nd half for losing. They had 18 shots on goal compared to Mayos 17 yet shooting efficiency was poor as was standing off the two point shooters. Kept going for goals 11/12 created instead of popping the odd one over the bar all added up in a one point loss.

I hope it's Galway v Mayo match next would be a real spicy affair. Mayo will likely get Louth or Westmeath I bet.

So called Gaels making fun and mocking his achievements. Most of these people I bet have never played the game and would t be able find the front gate to their local clubs."
Social media is toxic and is only going to get worse a lot of it driven by jealousy. Aidan O'Shea has been a great servant to Mayo football and has had a brilliant career, to hell with the begrudgers.

It's pointless looking at half a match. We were 11 points up at halftime yesterday and the wind was a bigger factor yesterday

Oh its not pointless and both Andy Moran and Ryan O'Donoghue remarked about their 2nd half display against Roscommon yesterday I have no doubt the rest of management and players weren't pleased that a 12 point lead became 1 point and hanging on for the win. All will know a similar 2nd half display can't be repeated if hopes of reaching Croke Park is to happen.

Journalist Cahair O'Kane made a good point recently on wind advantage. Most think it's what you do when playing with it that matters most when what you can score and concede against the wind can be a telling factor. 1st half yesterday Monaghan with just 0-9 from 18 shots while conceded 1-17 from 17 shots and they'll know they should have defended a lot better on the 6 two pointers conceded especially the last one on the hooter.
