Looked over the post on tv.

Is that over the bar?

Monaghan didn't deserve a result based on this performance, but they got absolutely screwed with the decisions down the stretch there

What a season turnaround for Donegal. The common knowledge was that you couldn't shake off poor league form in the condensed championship.

No that's a wide. Good call.

Terrible. Clear point not given and a phantom free against Beggan. Either of those means they only need a point for a draw. Robbed blind

The Beggan free was very soft.

That was about it from what I could see.

What was the free from the 21 with about ten minutes left after the goalmouth scramble given for?

It wasn't a clear point from the tv pictures.

Were you at the game?

Perfect call but if the ref/officials are having a 'mare' then it's a bad call!

Some clampits will just see what they want

Top of the group job done and a well deserved weeks rest for the lads. Great... and the goat is back!!!

Monaghan were very poor compared to their performance against Derry and the Tyrone 2nd half. Gave Donegal far too much room.

Not to mention the minute of injury time eaten up by the free being given and then taken, valuable time lost when you're chasing a team. Wasn't even close to a free, the fact a booking was given is hilarious

i dont know what a clampit is?
it looked over to me.
The beggan free was more significant. The ref can't give that. It was the pivotal decision

"Brian McEniff, manager of the county's first All-Ireland winners in 1992, is hopeful things can get back on track but concedes that the blow to development is a major concern.

"There is an advantage that some of the counties on the western seaboard have. We have a population of nearly 170,000, which gives us a distinct advantage over, say, the Monaghans.
