Oh wow, only took you 24 hours to come back with that one.

What's your own county or are you too embarrassed to say?

Re-watch it again and have a read up of the definition, then come back to me and tell me it didn't fall under 'Time wasting; delaying play' or 'Failing to retreat'. In fact Eamon Fitzmaurice in his Piece for the Examiner on Monday stated that it should have been awarded.
However, I'm not saying this lost us the game. That 15 minute period with the 8 point swing was the losing of the game for us. Best of luck for the rest of the season.

As a Donegal man and speaking to other Donegal people no one is saying Murphy didn't deserve a red.

But the reaction of the media has been completely over the top you'd think he was the first GAA player ever to strike to get away with it. I don't remember Jack O'connor complaining that Tadgh Kenneally didn't get sent off after a clear strike in the opening minute of 2009 final against Corks Nicholas Murphy which later Kenneally later admitted in his book that it had been pre meditated.
