It doesn't matter who the ref is Mayo will always complain. Sure they are still going on about 1996 and 2014. If there were All Irelands given out for crying... But I don't think Kerry or Clifford get frees any handier than others. In fact I'd say Clifford usually has to work harder for them as there are usually 3 or 4 players hanging out or him.

Yes, he is. No one gets free more easily than Kerry.

I'm a great admirer of David Clifford but recently he seems to be competing with his older brother when it comes to whingeing to referees. I didn't like him putting up two fingers to the referee early in yesterday's match, apparently to signify that it was the second foul by the Mayo defender. That's akin to soccer players giving the yellow card signal to the ref, for which they are supposed to be booked, and maybe this should apply to Gaelic football too.

If you top the league you should win the league, simple as that.

Mcstay was 100% correct . Kerry and clifford get frees way to easily . The treatment Aido gets and gets nothing from the ref where as Clifford gets everything. He's no angle either

He's talking rubbish. If, by some mad twist of fate, we won yesterday this would never have been mentioned. Buying frees and influencing refs is part of the game. Cillian was very good at it. Maybe we should get Cillian into the backroom team for the championship to improve our street smarts and dark arts. We were well beat yesterday and Kevin's comments make us look like sore losers, a week away from the championship.

Replying To GreenandRed:  "I think Kerry were well 12 points better. They turned down plenty of goal chances for fisted points but were ruthlessly efficient taking them. They also got a good tune from their attack besides the Cliffords."
To be fair Mayo turned down many scoring opportunities as well and gifted the ball back to Kerry so that Kerry could go down the field and score those points.

McStays dislike for Kerry or Curry as he say, is nothing new. He was a great man to talk the talk on the Sunday Game but has yet to back it up in management. I'll give him credit however for actually putting his money where his mouth is and actually go into management.

Near the start of every new season, some club in Kerry always invites down a referee or two, and they usually target newly appointed ones or the less established ones, to explain the rules or new rules, mar yeah, to the club players. The refs are put up in fine accommodation, and afterwards are wined and dined, given tours of the Kingdom and invariably end up in Paidi O'Se's pub for the evening, where they rub shoulders with the likes of influential former Kerry players like Ogie Moran, Bomber Liston, John O'Keeffe or Jimmy Deenihan. This has been going on for donkeys' years. The Kerry Co. Board or current players are never implicated in it, as it is clubs that issue the invites, ex-players who earwig these refs, and independent Kerry business that pay for it. Kerry Group used to be highly involved before they started sponsoring the county team. So, in the white heat of a championship match who does Bilbo Baggins whistle down in favor of, Mayo where he got a big fat sweet f-all, or the Kingdom where he was welcomed and treated like royalty?

Well done to Kerry, awful game, no urgency, I presume they're thinking of bigger fish. Let's hope the championship looks nothing like this.

and Clifford really disrespected the ref and got away with it, the yellow card was nothing. Free should have been overturned and 50 M added

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "Listen ye struggled to beat our B team playing at home and we weren't even trying that hard, that's the facts, Mayo are going well though, impressed with big O'Shea these days, as I said before though it will take a good team to deny Kerry Sam this year. O'Connor's record of winning the league and All Ireland in same year is ominous."
B team lol. 10-11 starters played.

It was an accidental final. The powers that be are to blame for that due to their ridiculous scheduling. Tough out on Mayo, Roscommon, Limerick and Wexford to have to play championship a week after league finals and for what is the fourth weekend in a row between Round 6, 7, finals and the start of the provincial championships.

Celebrating on a final day for staying in div 1 for years is not the stuff of a championship team we need to be more ruthless when it comes to championship and stop petting at teams we need hunger desire and more of a meaner streak to get where we need to go

To quote what you said. " Mayo will win handy. End of story" That doesn't leave any room for a discussion. Is there no one in Mayo that you can gloat to, about how great thou art ?
