Do Kerry Get Frees A Bit Too Easy?

Replying To WanPintWin:  "No, with the apostrophe it wouldn't make any sense. Frees in this case isn't the present tense 3rd person singular of free, but the plural of the noun free, in this case a free-kick."
You are correct, of course, WanPintWin.

But there's another error: 'easy' is an adjective, whereas the adverb, 'easily' should have been used.
And there's yet another: 'When Mayo done same....' should be 'When Mayo did same....'

The grammar police are watching you.

Replying To Aibrean:  "You need to produce some evidence and, like McStay, not make wild statements.
The game is on TG4 Player; have a look and come back with specific incidents where Kerry got frees they did not deserve and where Mayo did not get frees that they deserved.
I do remember:
Reape hitting Clifford and not being penalised, Aiden O Shea being penalised 3 times in about 5 minutes just after half time and not getting a card (one of which was nasty enough on Jason Foley) and Paul Geaney having to go off after a blow to the head.

I'll have a look at the game and come back with some evidence."
Reape got a yellow card for the shoulder on Dave Clifford after Coldrick consulted the linesmen. Seemingly Gucci, Versace and DKNY were referenced in that conversation. Dave had a lovely relaxing lie down for himself trying to influence the colour, then made a Lazarus-like recovery to rejoin the action. Surprised some milking machine ad didn't appear on TG4 for the duration of his recuperation from such a horrendous challenge! Every county are at it to varying levels. Used to be the falling over holding the face so the ref would stop play to kill the opponents momentum. But we shouldn't be surprised.

"should be 'When Mayo did same" It should be 'When Mayo did the same.

It's laughable that some Mayo posters are butthurt about some Clifford cuteness after lauding Cillian O'Connor for similar for years. Indeed COC did it to a level probably unseen before or since in the game and it was the main thing that turned him from an average footballer to an effective footballer
