Replying To Tadhg2020:  "2 very entertaining games of football yesterday. The Division 4 game was arguably the better game

It was great to see Carlow celebrate the win. It showed it really mattered. Down, by contrast, were very muted and almost arrogant in how they behaved considering Wexford had more than enough chances to beat them in normal time. They probably butchered 1-3 or 1-4 in 3rd quarter. Down did butcher the winning shot on the buzzer though. Still i like to see a team celebrate when they win something in Croke Park."
They won't be as arrogant in a couple of weeks time when Donegal give them a footballing lesson. Laverty has them playing the Kilkoo brand of football which is unwatchable.

You were chatting to the Down players afterwards on the pitch to ascertain their arrogance levels? Any other gems to share?

The Meath blackcard at the end should have been punished with 20 M free.
FRC got this totally wrong.

Murphy should have got a red, no doubt about it - but these things happen, Donegal could raise plenty of gripes from the past too. I wouldn't let that take away from a dominant Donegal performance though. For me winning at Croke Park is just as important as who they were playing, imo that has exorcised any ghosts from last year.
