Monaghan v Dublin 2/4/17 Clones

I'd assumed Brogan wasn't playing.
That's the first time I've seen him touch the ball.
Can Monaghan keep up the intensity?

[Main Street]

The ref was right there and he thought the trip was deliberate.
Though it was pretty low on the scale of things.
Monaghan with some classy defending.

By the letter of the law, that's a black card. But I think it's the consistency that annoys some people, you see similar fouls get away with it.

Good stuff so far, I suppose the main question is if Monaghan can keep up that work rate and intensity for another half, especially when Dublin empty the bench. It hasn't been made any easier with Hughes and Walshe gone.

Come on as a sub just before half  time

[Jinxy]

Any time someone gets a black card the default reaction for many is, "That's a joke!", because they've already decided they don't like the rule.
I've reached the conclusion that whenever it is implemented for anything other than the blatant Sean Cavanagh rugby tackle, you'll get a roughly 50:50 split in opinion on the rights and wrongs of the decision.
Then you get people giving out about a correctly awarded black card because a similar offense before that wasn't punished the same way.
In short, people are idiots.

[Main Street]

That's a cowardly way to call Schkite an idiot.
Meath men can't man up these days.

[Jinxy]

I didn't even see his post.
It took me 10 minutes to type mine.

Get in!
Great goal, savage work by McManus out by the sideline.

[Main Street]

Class goal from Jack, Clucks beaten on the near post.
Can the Dubs handle the pressure?

[Jinxy]

McCarron is a great bit of stuff.
First time getting a good look at him.
Big, physical & accurate.

[J70]

Some player McCarron.

Monaghan for Ulster?

[Jinxy]

Very enjoyable game.

[J70]

Fair fucks to the Dubs. They're never beaten.

[Minder]

Jesus that looked well wide

[Jinxy]

A Monaghan team with the two Hughes boys around midfield/centre-forward and McCarron and McManus in the inside line will give anyone their fill of it in the championship.
