Another 3 points in the bag. Great to see James Forrest firing on all cylinders again.

It's the proverbial 50/50 match but I think Armagh have a bit more scoring power up front. But it's now or never for this Armagh side whereas with Donegal you feel as though they could be around for a few years.

Armagh and Donegal have played 140+ minutes of football this season with a single point separating them.

Yes, it's clear that it's Donegal's to lose.

I've been going to Down matches since the 80s and yesterday was nothing short of dreadful.

We were 2 points up with approx 15 mins to go v Armagh in an Ulster semi final and my main concern was, I hope this doesn't go to extra time.

If playing like that is what it takes to be competitive, it's not a price worth paying as far as I'm concerned, and judging by the size of the crowd, I'm not alone. Would there have been 2000 Down supporters in Clones yesterday?

I recognise that plenty will take positives from yesterday's performance and to a degree, I can see where they are coming from. Laverty done nothing wrong yesterday, he broke no rules as such but mother of God, the powers that be must take action sooner rather than later because as a spectacle that game yesterday is unacceptable.

And I don't think I'm looking through rose tinted glasses about games from previous era's, plenty of them were poor too. I know Jarlath Burns has put together an impressive looking task force to deal with the predicament football finds itself in, and I'm sure they can use yesterday's game as an indicator of what drastic measures are needed to cure our game.

Down are not alone either, a lot of counties employ similar tactics, at times we have played excellently under Laverty, Cavan away last year in the Tailtain cup was a great performance. But  I really do hope there are rule changes made to avoid what happened yesterday repeated. And even if we won yesterday, I'm sure I would be saying the same thing.

Do Down have the players to go toe to toe with Armagh? Should the ball be kicked aimlessly up the pitch to come straight back at you?  Down needed to sort out their defence and it looks like they are getting there. The forwards will hopefully improve

Donegal's Ulster final to lose.

Would you ever f**k off with that crap. It wasn't entertaining the first time you did it and it hasn't aged well with the 100th.

As funny as a kick in the boll!x.

Awful injury for Peter Casey for Limerick. You know it's bad when the camera cuts away straight away and no replay of the goal scored

Think Tyrone will take a fair bit out of that despite the defeat, far better performance and didn't disappear out of the game as it went on as they have been. Great experience for the younger lads and plenty to build on for the weeks ahead.

Congratulations to Donegal. I'd expect them to win Ulster.

Taylor from Manchester cheated by stopping open play when there was no obvious injury.

Audio from ref would be interesting but it won't be released.

Taylor from Manchester also missed a clear yellow for a stamp by Paqueta on MacAllister. VAR either didn't want to make his mate look silly or didn't think it merited a review by the ref.

There was a buckling of a the angle which was the reason Jones got sent off against spurs earlier in the year.

Is that Top 4 secure for Liverpool now after Spurs losing?

It looks like it. Unless Spurs win their 5 remaining games by a 20 goal difference and Liverpool lose their 3 remaining games
