What's the difference in what McElhinney did and what McManus did to McGlynn in terms of black v yellow card? Both took a man out off the ball.

Here is the rule for reference:
Deliberately body collide with an opponent after he has played the ball away or for the purpose of taking him out of a movement of play.

I agree about the black card interpenetration. Sometimes a team will pick one up while the opposition will get away with a similar or almost identical offence. It is a joke of a rule and the enforcement of it is even more disagreeable.

A good ref will be required for the next day.

McManus's challenge was a late tackle, yellow card, same as Thompson's tackle late on.

McElhinney took out an opponent who was not in possession of the ball, black card

Agree with Muckross the rule stated above was to prevent the "body check" which was creeping into the game. Mc Manus was late tackle and was yellow, would have been a harsh red, but seen them given

Nerve wrecking, draw fair in end.

If Croke Pk was available Sat evening, an Ulster double-header would go a long way towards filling it !... Clones would not cope with the demands for a double header!

I didn't mention age profile of the team at all actually They are young enough overall however a lot of them have been playing since the mcguinness era and you can see Imo a weariness setting it n . So when a donegal player has an off day dip in form etc he continues to hold his place compare this to Dublin MDMA drop in form management trust Fenton a rookie to come n and replace him ... Your mgt don't seem to have the same trust in the young fellas u mention and for they type of game donegal play they need a bigger pick and if the lads r there they need to be transitioned in over the next 1-2 years that's my point . Would also wonder if there are replacements for lacey he surely doesn't have the legs for it . Gallagher is a big miss in midfield the replacement there appears to be kavsmagh @ 33 years of age so that needs looking at too .
I like donegal appreciate exactly what they have done since 2011 the in laws r from donegal so go to alot of the gsmes as a supporter too. But i do think they are starting to look a bit weary the donegal team of 11 .... 12... 13..... proba ly wouldnt have coughed up 2 late injury tine points either i have a feeling the replay might just come a bit quick but we will see ..

A lot of the current Dublin players have been in the Dublin panel since the Pat Gilroy era, and I don't think they trained less than Donegal. I think it comes down to perception, we've been hearing repeatedly on tv about "A lot of miles on the Donegal legs", which in part was down to the static line-up in many position between 2011 and 2014/5, where older players of the likes of Colm McFadden, Neil Gallagher, Rory Kavanagh, Eamon McGee, Christy Toye have featured prominently.

However since 2013/2014, they have Consistently Introduced the likes of Ryan McHugh, Odhran MacNiallais, Marty O'Reilly, Hugh McFadden, Darrach O'Connor (Out with cruciate last year), and 2015/2016 Eoghain Ban Gallagher, Eoin McHugh, Ciaran Thompson, Stephen McBrearty, Ciaran Gillespie, Michael Carroll, Stephen McMenamen and MA McGinley. All of these players along with Paddy McBrearty, are aged 23 or under.

I have watched all Donegal Championship games since 2011, and I think this current Donegal side has more pace than the 2011-2013 side. They also create more shooting chances per game, but badly need to work on the shooting accuracy. Had this current Donegal side the shooting accuracy of 2012, I think they would be coasting through games at present.

Enjoyable game to watch as it was intense but wasn't a great game. Thought it was Donegal to lose as the amount of frees they missed where crucial. If Donegal can control their discipline they will take it next week. Antics of Rory and the goalkeeper were a disgrace though. Seem to recall a nation wide witch hunt against Tyrone for diving but doesn't seem to be the case here.
