NFL Division 1 - 2020

Murphy should have seen red for his elbow early on.

The time keeping in Croke Park in question again. The double sending off took near three minutes before play restarted and only 1 extra minute was added?

Agreed. There was also a few subs during the extra time as well. Should have been at least 4 minutes added onto the 7min but sure would expect nothing less from Maurice as he's the worst ref about

Deggan was very good out there this evening, upwith the play and always ready to play advantage.

In the 1st half Patton was picking out Donegal players with ease and Donegal built up a nice lead. 2nd half Dublin turned the squeeze and apart from Michael Murphy Donegal players disappeared. Same happened last year against Mayo. Donegal fans can moan all they want about the ref, but need to look closer to home for reasons they lost tonight

[Angelo]

Dublin's attack lacks punch without O'Callaghan. The key players for Dublin are McCaffrey, Fenton, Howard, Kilkenny and O'Callaghan. McCarthy has probably been their most consistent player in the past decade but I don't think he has hit his previous heights in the last two seasons.

[SouthDublinBro]

The big difference between the sides was the quality of Fenton and Kilkenny. Felt like more of a proper game of football after that pathetic Aussie Rules match Monaghan gave us last time.

Donegal better team in the first half. If I was a Donegal fan I'd be worried about their players obsession with their hair. The amount of times a donegal player gets tackled and goes down grabbing his head/hair

Johnny Small seems to be developing a bit of a habit also for holding his hair. The clash with Ryan McHugh  should have been a black card for Small who clearly blocked the follow on run by McHugh. But Small cleverly deceived Deegan by falling down holding his head. The medical team were of course required to complete the deception

Take off your anti dublin blinkers. Donegal players were going down consistently in the 1st half grabbing their head even though they hadn't been touched anywhere near their head.  Donegal players disappeared in 2nd half when they needed scores.

No blinkers on here. As you only appeared to be aware of the ref being conned by the Donegal players, I thought it only fair to point out that a similar act was carried out by a Dublin player. You may not have seen it. This would not be the first time Small has pulled this stunt. Anywayó Goodnight to all in Dublin 7

Small and cooper two boys who are far from angels really.

Agreed although Donegal didn't cover themselves in glory  with constant faking of head injuries. Still waiting on the media outrage over the murphy sending off or the ref time keeping

Deggan was very good out there this evening, upwith the play and always ready to play advantage.

He gave 2 yellow cards to 2 Dublin players for text book black card offence. He allowed for at least 4 of the 7 mins of extra time to be wasted and didn't add it on. Hardly a good day at the office

Agreed on those points, no ref is 100%. Personally I like the way he manages the advantage, he allowed an excellent game to flow as best he could, he was in control, generally did not fall for the outbreak of face clutching antics and got most decisions right.

Deegan is an absolute clown of a referee.

He can spot a foul 70 yards away but can't referee what is happening a couple of yards in front. He also should not be allowed referee matches involving Kerry.

I had a look at the added time
The addded time notice  of 7 minutes went up on 71 minutes, after play was resumed.   20 seconds for the subs,
Altogether 2 minutes were used for the melee and the red cards, Deegan spent most of the time waiting for it to settle down, beats me why Donegal players were messing about wasting time when there was a point to play for.

Galway playing some great football. Hope they keep playing like this in c'ship too. McCurry is playing some stuff from Tyrone too. Some very clever passing from him.
