McKenna Cup 2024

Interesting at end Beggan wasted a full minute taking the free yet ref made no allowance. Is he not allowed to account for time wasted like that?

How long was the ball in play for during the three minutes of injury time? Surely the ref had to add a bit of time on.

Between Monaghan's final free, as well as the checking of Donegal's forward mark, up ball, and subsequent free from Murphy, there was precious little football played in those injury time minutes.

Genuine question - when is the last time mcbrearty delivered a big performance for Donegal.. and yes doesn't look good for the future when Murphy retires

[imtommygunn]

I don't think he has been the same player since the knee injury. Lost a bit of pace.

That ref isn't fit for purpose, perhaps his stature is an impediment, though he's only one in a long line of refs who falls for the McHugh simulation, as blatant as the 3 card trick.

Unless the ref deems it to be deliberate time wasting, the clock keeps ticking.

Another great way to wind down the clock is to get booked. Clock doesn't stop while the ref is asking for your name and issuing the card.
Anyone who watches ladies football regularly will have seen these and noted the clock counting down.

Up to the ref to enforce, sadly it rarely is enforced. If there is 4 minutes of extra time how can anyone justify taking 25%of that time up for 1 free kick. Adding on the wasted time would soon stop it

But as I said, you're entitled to take time over a free kick and the clock keeps ticking.
Don't foul if you're behind and time is near up, is the way to stop it.

I'll stop the watch and tell them it won't start until he's fit to take the free, if they want to fanny about looking for balls or acting the maggot then expect the clock to stop. Refs call to add time he see's fit, and if in injury time they are taking the piss add some more, but explain and show the watch to the players
