Agreed Donegal were excellent in the second half last night. Played some great open expansive football and gave us a rattle. Im personally pleased the game was tight in stages and tough, a 15 point victory teaches us very little, Donegals performance in the second half last night is great for us. The problems and vulnerabilities Donegal created will be worked on and eliminated. Every day is a school day. Was great to see Donegal play open and expansive stuff, cant see them going down on last night performance. TheUsername (Dublin) - Posts: 4445 - 11/02/2018 14:50:40 2075795 Link 0 |
Agree with earlier comments about McBrearty. He is playing some unreal stuff at the moment. Monagael (Monaghan) - Posts: 99 - 11/02/2018 14:59:44 2075799 Link 0 |
John Small did what I would be shouting at any Donegal man to do. Stop the man. Donegal were on a roll a that stage and Ryan was having a major influence. He ceased doing so afterwards. DLlegends (Donegal) - Posts: 503 - 11/02/2018 15:25:04 2075804 Link 2 |
That comment is disgraceful & I am embarrased that a Donegal man would make it. It was a cheap shot against a player who couldn't defend himself against it & has no place in the game. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 11/02/2018 15:54:53 2075818 Link 3 |
Disgracefully comment!!! Get down of your high horse. If Donegal were 2 up in an Ulster final and hit a man hard who was having a major influence on the game I would most certainly think right thing to do. If they didn't I would be disappointed.

Genuinely surprised by the quality that Donegal showed honestly thought we would have an easier night, that said that's the sort of outing we need , donegal may lose more games than they win in the short term playing as they are however they will become a better team in the long run , it takes courage to attack and even more to continue to do it if losing Damothedub (Dublin) - Posts: 5193 - 11/02/2018 16:42:19 2075855 Link 0 |
There's a world of difference between stopping a man and a cheap shot. No place for it. westkerry (Kerry) - Posts: 1250 - 11/02/2018 17:00:40 2075860 Link 0 |
A couple of points. 1. It wasn't a provincial final. 2. He didn't "hit him hard" he deliberately hit him on the jaw with a leading forearm. If you can't see the problem with that then ther isn't much I or anyone else can say to you. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 11/02/2018 17:03:52 2075862 Link 4 |
I love the way supporters complain about a cheap shot. DLlegends (Donegal) - Posts: 503 - 11/02/2018 17:26:15 2075882 Link 3 |
Thought this game was very similar to the quarter final in 2016. Dubs in 3rd gear and could sense they could lift it but like that game Donegal caused huge problems by taking it up the middle at pace. I think Ban should be out at half back or around the middle as he's like a Lee Keegan. He had 4/5 great carries last night. Great to see them recognizing the lack of penetration against Galway and improving on it massively last night. I think we should campaign to go back to the Old Jersey too looks class

As I already said, if you can't see a problem with any of this then I can't help you.

Really strange comment

On its own merits, the tackle last night was reckless. We don't know for sure if he was malicious or not in his intent,, but his judgement was not good. I don't think that we should concern ourselves much more about that incident, luckily Ryan McHugh was ok and he got on with things. The ref possibly made a call based on what he saw, which was very little in real time. What can you do about these incidents once the ref makes a judgement? A player is not going to ask a referee to be sent off if the ref misses the action in real time. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 11/02/2018 20:07:31 2075979 Link 0 |
John Small is a fine player. He actually made his debut against Donegal in Croker during a bitterly cold league match a few years back. I remember thinking that Dublin had nothing to worry about replacing Ger Brennan. I rate Small very highly and glad he's playing for his County despite not being as high profile as many of the other Dublin half backs - profiles well deserved I might add. Small however is a player who over steps the mark from time to time and being honest I'd say he knew exactly what he was doing last night. He seems a quiet, modest guy but he takes his hard edge a step too far a few times every year.
