The last 5 minutes was the most exciting football seen so far this season!

To be fair to both teams they were without their county players. The report I read said the blanket defences were only half the story as both sides kicked loads of wides. There was only 1 point scored in the second half. Club football in Donegal is really defensive but we do still get some cracking games.

I wonder has there ever been a scoreless draw in a senior club or county game.

Was more down to poor shooting than defence
Nearly 30 wides

Seriously embarassing for both teams.

I was a fairly ****e footballer myself but I've never played in a game as low scoring as that.

These aren't even Junior B team this is the highest level in Donegal.

Now' Now Lads...I think you should have withheld Judgement until youse got the full story.!

It's been lashing down here all day in the "Hills" and the game was called off so to decide the outcome..Both teams retired to the changing Rooms and partook in Games of "CHESS" best out of 5 being declared the winners.

It was a war of Attrition but the Glenswilly mens defensive strategy Won the Day for them.

The atomosphere in the changing rooms was very similar to that of this years Ulster Final.

Is it not a bit insulting to the ordinary club player to be saying "they had no county players on the field, so it's logical they only scored 2 points". It makes it sound like the club player is a space filler for the county players to do the real playing

Just call a spade a spade and admit it was an unusually terrible game.

Wonder why were there no county players playing in Donegal today? Tyrone players are all out with their clubs today. This type of game is destroying Gaelic Football as a spectacle. In all honesty who would pay in to see these two teams in action again apart from family.

People commenting on the quality of a game they didn't see. Makes sense I suppose

Lifetime of involvement & going to games & football is sh#te at all levels now. I saw a similar game last year, I went home at half time. Who would want to play or watch nowadays. How long were club players in Donegal without games while the county team were in C'ship. I would love to know if any of those teams have one of the problems in Gaa, the outside manager ?
