Replying To Northsidegaels:  "Ususually such a balanced poster you have let yourself down here badly, the gaoth dobhair goal never should have stood and corofin were just a better all round team. Take off the green and gold glasses and watch again!"

Replying To JDF:  "panamasam is making a fool of himself. 6/7 steps? Can you not count, its 10 steps and very very obvious. Deegan was shocking for both teams, Gweedore were on the receiving end of several soft frees too.

Corofin can play a lot better than that and Croke Park will suit their style of football, it should be a great game between the 2 best club sides in the country."

Replying To panamasam:  "Post a link of the footage where 10 steps is very very obvious please thank u. I have been using twitter highlights to watch back. But what difference does it make? I don't think I disputed that too many steps were taken whether it is 5, 6, 7 or 10 as u say. What I did say it is that it was not so obvious at the game and there was no feeling of discontent among the Corofin supporters I was close to. The steps only came to my attention here and there has been little about it apart. There is a loose implementation of the rule which is getting exploited. I was watching Sigerson highlights from yesterday and noted the NUIG goal to come as a result of too many steps.

I think in my various posts here I have given fair examples of where Deegan was at time impartial. Alot of which stemmed from frees not given when obvious and resulting lip in his direction which result in a few frees been moved forward. Rightly so too for acts of descent though when a player goes to take a quick free and the ball gets kicked away would this not constitute descent also? I am not the only one to highlight this as it has come up in some of the Donegal media too. But nobody myself included are using this as an excuse as AGAIN THE BEST TEAM WON.

For the record yes I can be sometimes biased towards Donegal but like to think also measured and realistic. My club connection would historically see Gweedore as not so friendly rivals. However I like going to club games and I have enjoyed watching them play much like Kilcar last year. As a result I put club rivalry aside to support Donegal clubs outside of Donegal especially if they play an endearing style of football. But when not directly connected to the club I don't think my views have been delusional or foolish like suggested. To be a fool it would be to suggest that Deegan was at fault for Gweedore's loss. Or not recognise that too many steps were taken. Or not give credit to what is a great Corofin team none of which I am guilty of despite the labels. Also I would be a fool to engage with someone to any great degree who labels in such fashion without really giving much insight themselves. Reading ur reply it comes across as a little dismissive, arrogant and classless.

I would like to wish Corofin all the best in the final but very difficult to really invest when u read the likes of above. Which is a shame given the admiration I would have for the likes of the Farraghers, Ian Burke and the excellent Kieran Burke and Gary Sice."

Replying To Soma:  "To be fair the commentator spotted the number of steps taken straight away. Fair play to Corofin for not protesting at the time but that is the sign of champions, they know there is no point complaining about things they can't control.

Replying To panamasam:  "Thank u. Counted 8 there myself. Of course being at the game not I did not have the benefits of commentary. Maybe like most in the crowd at the game the steps were not as noticeable to the Corofin players either. Kieran Molloy pick up off the ground for the first goal? Looks marginal but again something I only noticed with the benefits of replay."
