Hard to know mes what Morgan was at.I watched last ten minutes of 2012 loss to Mayo yesterday and Dublin were awarded a free from about 40 yards out in dying minutes.We were 3 points down.Cluxton came up and delivered a dangerous ball into the square,in which we were quite unluckly not to score a goal.Think O Gara got a fist to it but it was saved on the line.If Morgan was trying the same,it was a poor effort.If he was trying for a point,it was equally poor.He had a woeful day at the office.

McAliskey should have fisted to McCurry in first half of game on Sunday - would have been a certain goal.

This is my take on it: Morgan was called up to take the free, but seemed to realise himself that time was quickly running out (there was a short conversation before he took the ball). He was told to go for a point and this is what he did, but never set himself properly nor took his time over it as he normally would, and instead rushed a kick. I'd strongly suspect that this was because running through his mind was the realisation that shooting was the wrong option. What resulted was a rushed, half-hearted kick for a point that tailed short and wide.

After 70 minutes of exhausting football, players don't always make the right decision, particularly when it relates to clock management, so I wouldn't be too hard on Morgan or the senior players. Personally, I think our sideline team should have taken control of the situation (it unfolded beside them and the stoppage gave ample time for a message to be sent in), or even on Maurice Deegan, as he prevented Bradley from taking a quick free in the first place.

Whatever derry keeper is playing is usually selfish. spends the whole game picking the ball out of the net and kick outs
