Replying To tiobraid: "What are people on about with the John Small tackle? If a man on your team hit a lad as clean as that you'd be delighted. I've watched it 20 times and see it equally as good as the Paudie maher tackle on John canning a few years ago. If it was any other player or county apart from Small there'd be nothing about it" Watch it once more. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2320 - 15/08/2021 22:43:08 2371757 Link
I'm delighted for Lee Keegan that he has another chance to win an AI medal.He has been such a wonderful player for Mayo over the years,a real skilful wing back,tenacious in tackling and defending and so often joining the attack and scoring and yesterday from full back he went forward and scored a point showing he has not lost his attacking flair.

Replying To Tirchonaill1: "Just seen it again on the SG, looks worse in slow motion as all bad tackles do, I'd like to think Small had no intent but it does look very bad in slow motion, Lane should have stopped the game immediately, if Dublin score that goal chance there'd a been some row about it, hope the lad makes a speedy recovery anyway." Lane lost control. I'm biased but my opinion is he was taken out. He has a double fracture and will be eating through a straw for the next few weeks. His jaw is now is literally hanging off his face. A disgraceful hit. If Cillian O Connor done that the dubs would be calling for him to be strung up. Diarmuid O Connor was hit off the ball after the equalizer. But back to the MacLoughlain hit....I thought we got a few soft frees after it so it worked in our favour. The ref lost control of the game...a joke he done both teams. But at the end did the day Mayo drove on and ran over Dublin in extra time. Just like they did to Galway in the 2nd half of the Connacht final. It's only another step though. We simply have to win the final and I believe we will. yew_tree (Mayo) - Posts: 11636 - 15/08/2021 22:46:10 2371759 Link
Replying To Rebel2020: "4 clear straight red incidents highlighted by the Sunday Game. Zero given. Hard to believe really." Ref done nothing so I'm guessing Small will miss a game next season when powers that be look at incident. Saynothing (Tyrone) - Posts: 2320 - 15/08/2021 22:47:14 2371761 Link

You're ok with that? baire (Galway) - Posts: 1849 - 15/08/2021 22:49:01 2371763 Link
Replying To Setanta11: "How do we encourage our kids to play football, when 'tackles' such as Small's go unpunished...and worse, play is not stopped for a prone, stricken, clearly very injured player. Lane should not get a game again, not because he shirked 5 big calls in relation to cards...he should not get a game because he failed in his duty of care to a player." I agree,a ref making bad refereeing calls is bad but so blatantly failing in his duty of care to an injured player is unforgivable,surely anyone that saw the "tackle" and the way the player was felled would know that he risked very serious injury.

Replying To Galway9801: "Agreed, it looked fine to me, the mayo player simply wasn't able for the hit, small shouldn't have been criticised for that." Mayo player seen the tackle coming and left himself wide open for the hit, he won't do that again. Never a red card, not even a free. shoulder tackle is part of the game, Mayo man wasn't fit to take it, simple as. Tirchonaill1 (Donegal) - Posts: 3236 - 15/08/2021 22:50:39 2371765 Link
Replying To bulmccabe: "mayo will bottle it again on the big day against kerry even though id like to see tyrone take them on, it's just a bit early for an unsettled team that are still recovering and will be from covid" Just make sure ye keep any John Small like shoulders away from David Clifford.

you can tell the McLoughlin 'tackle' was bad by the length of time it took rte to show it again, they were bricking it. They hate showing their cash cow in a bad light. A montage of their glory years too apparently on the Sunday Game tonight and barely a mention of Offaly winning u20. kick-it (Leitrim) - Posts: 33 - 15/08/2021 23:13:43 2371773 Link
Replying To expe: "It's the other way around, Kerry won their last meeting by 10 points: 2014 Semi - 1-16 - 1-16 2014 Semi Replay - 3-16 - 3-13 Kerry 2017 Semi - 2-14 - 2-14 2017 Semi Replay - 2-16 - 0-17 Mayo 2019 Super 8 - 1-22 - 0-15 Kerry" National league final Id put it on par, even ahead of the super 8s game given both counties were more or less certs to qualify from that group anyways. Either way there's no getting away that kerry /Mayo isn't a 1 horse race. Said i before, there's too many posters on here still stuck in the 90s and 00s BeJasus (UK) - Posts: 383 - 15/08/2021 23:22:48 2371776 Link
Refreshing to see Dublin's antics called out tonight compared to the cop out we saw on the same programming yesterday. bostonredsox (Wexford) - Posts: 4368 - 15/08/2021 23:27:07 2371778 Link
John Small committed another red card offense in extra time.And in most of his games. Dublin players know they will get away with it and that nobody can retaliate in case their sent off. The issue is with whoever appoints referees. Conor Lane saved Dublin in Meath game and Maurice deegan has consistently not sent off Dublin players in obvious sending off situations. Both were beside the incident and actually let play go on. No free and let Dublin play on leaving injured man on field, not to mention no card.

Replying To midlands: "I disagree Tiobraid. He may not have meant it but Small hit McLoughlin on the head with his shoulder and that amounts to very dangerous play, which is confirmed by the severity of the injury. It was much worse than the Richie Hogan hit on Cathal Barrett in 2019 and he got a red, correctly in my opinion even though I believe he didn't intend connecting with Barrett's head. And I disagree that there are similarities with the Paudie Maher tackle on Joe Canning. There was no contact to the head in that collision." I'm sorry but there's no comparison with the richie hogan one. His was completely mistimed and also both Paudie and joe went off and blood subs came on after that tackle so yes there was head today head contact. I had not realised the severity or mcloughlins injury until this evening and it's hugely tough and unfortunate on him. Hopefully he makes a quick recover. Small should not be slated. He actually should have been sent off later as should his two starting ballymun team mates - so maybe he should but def not for an incident like that. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 15/08/2021 23:56:25 2371784 Link

So Small's was the opposite of a clean hit . Westfester (Limerick) - Posts: 980 - 16/08/2021 00:48:11 2371790 Link
Replying To Jackeen: "*Even if he had been trying to do a fair shoulder, that is entirely irrelevant You can't "accidentally" smash a man's head in and be excused on the basis that you intended to hit his shoulder. Morgan on Andrews. Thoughts?" Clearly should have been a red. Shoulders to the head = red card. Why on earth is this even debatable? jonjon (Mayo)** - Posts: 99 - 16/08/2021 01:41:51 2371802 Link

I've watched it 20 times and see it equally as good as the Paudie maher tackle on John canning a few years ago. If it was any other player or county apart from Small there'd be nothing about it" Are you actually serious? His shoulder connected with his face and he requires surgery to fix a jaw broken in two places. How on earth is that a clean hit? If a lad on my team that did that I would be disgusted. Why would you put someone's health at risk so unnecessarily. I've had 4 concussions and they're no joke. A hit to the head can be very serious. I can't believe people on here think that shoulders to the head are fair game. Seriously bad attitude. Sickens me to think I would be coming up against opponents who think like that. jonjon (Mayo) - Posts: 99 - 16/08/2021 01:47:02 2371803 Link
Replying To BeJasus: "Mullen loss has killed off any hope of an upset. More excuses in route at FT by supporters , when they question should be asking is how on earth did allow an injury like that happen days before a final. Always a caveat with Mayo." We could still easily go and lose final but it's hilarious when lads talk in complete absolute terms like this and make a show of themselves. Would you have a caveat to your previous comment? the_walls (Mayo) - Posts: 497 - 16/08/2021 02:09:31 2371804 Link
Replying To Breezy: ""if it was a Wicklow player" what a load of absolute crap. Also the GAA have made a strike to the head a red card" Truth hurts. CC2020 (Kilkenny) - Posts: 173 - 16/08/2021 02:52:28 2371806 Link
Replying To bennybunny: "Mayo are in no position to be whinging about Conor Lane . You should be hoping ye get him for the final again. Dublin couldn't buy a free in the second half and Basquel black card was very wrong and a key bearing on the outcome of the match. Well done on the win. People say it was deserved. Maybe they want that to be true as people are sick of Dublin winning. I am not so sure though. You need luck I suppose but for that Mayo team to stay within 20 points of Kerry in the final they are going to have to get to another level." So your argument against conor lane being a bad ref for mayo is that he gave wrong decisions against Dublin aswell?.......... so did he get any decisions right? richardcrowe (Mayo) - Posts: 61 - 16/08/2021 03:04:15 2371808 Link
