Ulster Championship 2020

[Main Street]

I hope somebody has told Mickey about the change in the rules, re the absence of the back door.

[Milltown Row2]

That was a great game the reason for intensity and hype was cause its knockout time for gaa to back to knockout and for those  that moan knockout aint fair and too harsh well have two all  ireland series per year a spring all ireland an an autumn all ireland.

Should have been on Friday night though, would have made it a better game!

Murphy spent the entire second half shouting at McQuillan telling him what to do and McQuillan rode Tyrone. He got soft free after soft free after soft free. Murphy shouting at him all game yet he pulls in two frees for Donegal into the scoring range. It was madness, a pathetic refereeing performance.

Umpire has to call that penalty as well when McMenamin handles it on the ground, he's looking right at it.

Umpire can't call penalty, so stop talking about it. Would have been a very harsh one to give, wasn't deliberate and conditions attributed to the touch.

Can you back that up? They can notify the referee of what they have seen.

Can people please read the rules before commenting. It doesn't have to be deliberate to be called. Any touch in the ground is an offence. Also the umpire can call it to the refs attention for him to award the penalty. Its literally their job.

Apparently today we learnt than undeliberate handle of the ball on the ground isn't a free and slaps to the head are a yellow card.

Odd that some Derrymen are more interested in this game than one involving their own county.

I can back it up yes, umpire can be questioned on a personal foul. That's it. The ref would need to blow his whistle for something then speak to his umpires. It didn't happen and thats that!

Some armchair refs about 

[Lamh Dhearg Alba]

Donegal the better team it would have been comfortable only for the freak goal fair play to them they'll be a handful for anyone!

Not sure if this is a wind up or are you entirely blinded by bias but neither side was ever comfortable in that game and to suggest such isn't credible.

Anyway, it was a great battle in terrible conditions and both teams deserve a lot of credit. Very small margins in the end and ultimately Donegal's decision taking and discipline was that bit better and that got them across the line. Their leaders were to the fore and the rest of the team followed their example. The score to put them 2 up at the end was a great example, a player standing up and taking responsibility.

For Tyrone the likes of Donnelly and Harte were too peripheral, two hugely talented players that Mickey has generally struggled to deploy effectively over the years. And similarly, other players too often took the wrong option in promising positions. Time for a change in Tyrone.

Donegal deserved it, just, and all the best to them in the weeks ahead.

You can excuse Donnelly today as he was tasked with doing a number on Murphy which he did well so it was naturally going to take away from his game but Peter Harte was so disappointing. He scored a point in the second half when they goal was really on and I'd forgotten he was on the pitch until that point.

Look, conditions today were appalling so you've got to give some leeway but it was yet another very disappointing big day from Harte. When you take McCurry off when he was playing so well.......questions have to be asked. I don't think it's to do with favouritism for Peter Harte, he has the ability so that's why you leave him on but he really needs to give more in big games. McKenna was very poor and was also left on. But McCurry and Kennedy really should not have been taken off today.

I know that but I also know your form, not an unusual occurrence for you chaps to be stalking the Tyrone forums.

It's an unusual obsession.

Stupid comment. The beating has already been give. The whole point of these forums is to discuss incidents and highlight areas after the match has happened. Otherwise after the match their would be no discussions at all or suggestions in how to improve for the future.

If you don't want to discuss it then I suggest you leave the forum. As an antrim man I expect you are well used to beatings.

I wasn't having a go at Donnelly, I was questioning the decision to deploy him there. We lost his talent and influence in the area of the field where he is at his most effective. And Murphy still had big impact on the game. It was a poor decision by the management.
