Fair dues to Carlow. Awful to watch from a neutral perspective but they've given themselves something to play for in the second half.

SteveCW I'm sure you'll be enjoying this.

Just hope Carlow don't drop the heads if the Dubs get a goal as we did when Donegal got a goal before half time the other week.

Great to see good players from other counties on TV. And great that Marty Morrisey isn't commentating and saying "he kicked a point!!!!" In a patronising voice as if a Carlow/Antrim/Wick low man isn't able to swing a f**king leg.

Sean Murphy is lightening and a warrior. Needs to keep it up

See you in Carlow or Belfast next year

Excellent half of football from Carlow. Goes to show that even a division 4 team can defend well if they have a good management team that can organized them right.

It was intriguing first half. Many neutrals also enjoy the art of defending and competitive half of football.

Yeah I'm enjoying it. When Carlow attack Dublin have plenty back. Murphy is a Rolls Royce of a player.

A goal for Carlow would be great now

Getting 15 players back isn't the art of defending, it's the opposite in fact. If you're enjoying the spectacle then fair enough but I think it's brutal. I don't blame Carlow or anything, they are doing what they have to do to stay in touch but it isn't a good spectacle. I can understand why a Carlow man would be ecstatic but you can't even say it's competitive as it's floating along to an inevitable Dublin win. In saying all that Sean Murphy has delivered an heroic performance and I hope Carlow keep going to the end.

First yellow on Brendan Murphy was a joke.

And a stupid sending off for Murphy now has probably ruin this contest FFS.

Connolly should be gone too. Hands on official. Ref giving handy frees to Dublin.

If  Connelly was from Antrim he'd be banned for a year

Ref is an absolute joke. Underdogs getting no decisions here

Connolly might get a ban for that. Evan Comerford got 12 weeks.

GaillimhIarthair

He's a feckin clown.  Understand he is having a poor game and is very frustrated but you would expect a player of his experience to show much more restraint in that situation.  He's a very skilful and talented footballer but just doesn't have the temperament to be lauded as much as he is at times.

12 weeks for verbal so use of hands should be that and more. Soft linesman not to call referee.
