The Schemozzle: Jackie Tyrrell eating his words, Down scoring goals for fun and Mayo making a habit of beating Galway
“Especially in the first half when Galway needed scores, he was tormenting everyone. Cathal Barrett got moved off him, there isn’t too many players he gets moved off. That just shows the effect he was having on the full-back line.”In the 2012 All-Ireland final, “as favourites, they froze against Donegal”, he wrote. In actual fact, Donegal were favourites for that game.
“In the 2014 semi-final replay, strong favourites against a mediocre Kerry team, they collapsed altogether,” he blasts. Of course, mediocre Kerry went on to win the final!When Danny Magill hit the net in Croke Park yesterday after 17 minutes, it made for an unusual scoreline: Down 4-2 Laois 0-1. Down’s goalscoring prowess shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone who has been watching Conor Laverty’s side closely, however.
