If Donegal players focused on playing the game instead of crying to the ref every single time they would be in a far better position

Seems like I spoke too soon, we're starting the second half here like we have the first half in every other game, incredibly wasteful. Donegal growing into the game now and those wides will probably come back to haunt us.

Don't think I've ever seen Ryan McHugh have as little impact on a game before.

He's barely touched the ball.

Wind is obviously very tricky down that river end.

Murphy tripped himself there

Ryan mchugh off.. never seen someone so good and usually have major impact on games have absolutely none this season.. Donegal have looked very ordinary this year

Jamie Brennan looks injured as well

Christ, another big save by Patton. That would have been a serious goal after the kickpasses by Beggan and Walshe.

would someone tell the commentator that Darren Hughes has gone of and that #14 is Kieron

Wildweasel74 · March 13, 2022, 03:16:43 PM

Monaghan should be out of sight.

Fair play to Monaghan, they got the show on the road after a bad day against Kerry and should have been out of sight.
Donegal are probably less than the sum of their parts, Monaghan probably are more.

Was just looking at the table. Bit of a way to go still but both Leinster teams might go down

Well deserved win for Monaghan.

Very poor from Donegal. Even second half when we improved, the forward play just looked slow and laboured with little incisiveness.

The lack of the long range option hurts us with Langan injured, Ryan McHugh and Ciaran Thompson not getting into shooting positions or the game in general, and the weather (but every team has that).

Could be a short season.

Big, big win for us there. Badly needed, especially after being destroyed by Kerry. I think it's fair to say we should have been on more than 2 pts after our first 3 games, where we just didn't put away our chances and were punished for it.

Much improved on that front today, a bit more wasteful at the start of the second half and we probably should have gotten another goal, but we were able to up the gears towards the end and secure the win. There was a long extended period of play there where we were looking very ragged and were waiting to make some changes, but there was no break in play and Donegal were coming on strong, but luckily once we made the subs the injection of fresh legs showed. Big plays from the likes of Duffy, Woods and Mohan, who I think has been the find of the league for us. Made an immediate impact in big games.
