Bloody hell - hard luck lads and lassies. Terrible way to go out and ye deserved to draw that game. A real sickener. Heads up and go again next year. Wow ;o( Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4304 - 15/06/2025 19:24:22 2617819 Link
Shooting fir the equaliser with 10 seconds left on the clock was criminal. Had to play down the hooter and make sure the last chance was Mayo's. BaldyBadger (Cork) - Posts: 317 - 15/06/2025 19:43:01 2617840 Link
Really sorry for the players and managers but it has to be said the game was lost in the first half, played with a strong enough wind, had an extra man foe 10 minutes and just did not go for it. The ref in fairness did us no harm either. Aidan was a lion today and did heroics to make the leveling score for Boland. Hard to see him going at it again. One point from play from Ryan was not enough. The new manager will have to transition the team away from the running game to more of a traditional kicking game which may not be easy. martinjoe (Mayo) - Posts: 558 - 15/06/2025 20:02:48 2617857 Link
Replying To BaldyBadger: "Shooting fir the equaliser with 10 seconds left on the clock was criminal. Had to play down the hooter and make sure the last chance was Mayo's." That's nonsense. Boland was their best option, he was in position with 8-9 seconds left, scored. Claretandblue (Westmeath) - Posts: 2206 - 15/06/2025 20:13:41 2617864 Link
Emotion beats Mayo again. Players fist pumping and jumping around after getting the leveller. Did they not realise the hooter hadn't sounded? Should have set themselves up not to concede or at least turn over the kickout and keep the draw. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1228 - 15/06/2025 20:28:28 2617872 Link

Replying To MayoDan: "Don't see how you can play out a draw in Gaelic football.. one misplaced hand pass in the middle third and it's almost certainly a score. Also, Mayo have no safety net if Tyrone beat Cavan. A defeat means end of season. Say it's level, we let Donegal play keep ball for the last few minutes.. then the hooter goes. What's to stop langan, mcbrearty etc having a pop at the posts with the last kick of the game? Mayo can't bet their season on Donegal doing the gentlemanly thing.."

Holding off til the hooter probably a better option but no guarantee we'd as good an opening. Any well done to Donegal, deserved to win today.

But game management at the end, cost them dearly... Fionn (Dublin) - Posts: 4304 - 15/06/2025 21:09:20 2617893 Link

Replying To D.Hyde: "As it did last year." Not a new thing. But continuously ignored and treated as sure we were 'unlucky', we 'deserved' to win, sure we were the 'better' team. So year after year after year, amongst other things to find out what went wrong before we can fix it, is an inability to close out big games. 2001 Connacht Final, in The Hyde. And some say the chaos game suits us, until we lose. We need to control games better at certain points. We lost because the opposition scored more than us. That makes them the better team 100% of the time. We need to learn from defeats, not ignore them. GreenandRed (Mayo) - Posts: 8085 - 15/06/2025 21:46:37 2617911 Link

Anyone saying that ye should have held on for the hooter hasn't played football at any level. It was a serious kick by Boland. Donegal marginally deserved to win it. It could be worse. Ye could be us at the moment. Ros2013 (Roscommon) - Posts: 540 - 15/06/2025 21:54:18 2617917 Link
We deserved to lose based on the fact we lost to Cavan. Jim McGuinness moaning about the venue after though after the game was cheap..grow up. Donegal won't be winning any all Ireland based on today's display against the worst Mayo team in 20 years. Our neighbours Galway would eat them alive in my opinion. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11645 - 15/06/2025 21:54:20 2617918 Link

Holding off til the hooter probably a better option but no guarantee we'd as good an opening. Any well done to Donegal, deserved to win today." Fergal Boland, who had just kicked the equaliser from in front of the goals ended up being the one trying to contest the kickouts a few seconds later 50 or 60 meters away. How did that happen!

They switched off and our full back managed to get a bit of space, it was knocked on and the rest is history now. Rinse and repeat from the Dublin that cost you a QF last year. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1228 - 15/06/2025 22:06:06 2617926 Link

I get you're sore but that's a poor enough comment. What Mayo team was miles better in the last 20 years than this current one? Because the brutal truth is there was no outstanding team at any point in that 20 years, no All Ireland winner to compare with. All Mayo teams in that time have battled hard and shown excellent displays but this team have come up short the same as many a team that went before them. Galway won't eat us alive, if we lose to anyone it'll be narrowly. Donegal_abroad (Donegal) - Posts: 1442 - 15/06/2025 22:23:53 2617936 Link
Replying To BaldyBadger: "Shooting fir the equaliser with 10 seconds left on the clock was criminal. Had to play down the hooter and make sure the last chance was Mayo's." If they held on for 10 seconds, Boland doesn't find himself in that space. In my opinion there was only 2 or 3 players Mayo wanted on the end of it to take the shot..Boland, ROD..Mayo's biggest problem the last few years has been a lack of scorers, too many not willing or wanting to back themselves to score D.Hyde (Roscommon) - Posts: 294 - 15/06/2025 22:29:53 2617941 Link
