Think this is the year Monaghan finally go down. They've hit the post 3 times, conceded 2 unlucky goals and had a very very harsh black card. Galway aren't great either but they're getting the breaks

Get Rogers and his cronnies in the board out the gate.

An embarrassment today...again.

A great chance to seize the iniatitive in the league but showed no drive at all.

He called Beaton on VAR out. That was long overdue. The red card was bad enough but the Hearts penalty was worse. Yes there are a few empty jerseys but sometimes, in scotland in particular, you simply aren't allowed to win

Derry last goal probably a square ball, but the Umpire raised his flag super quick.

He was clearly in the square. Thought it strange that no one questioned it

Speaking of dodgy goals surely Roscommon's shouldn't have stood. Keeper had the ball in his hands and the forward pushed him over the line ? Didnt matter to the result but it was a free out all day

He definitely wasn't!

Looks pretty clear that he's outside the square when the ball leaves the other player's hands.

It wasn't a set play, so he's allowed to enter the square before the ball does.

And up steps Glass!

dont think he meant it but they all count

This is an absolutely brutal watch.

Try being at it. Can't believe there weren't at least 5 mins added time given Morgan's antics.

That's a 7/8 point breeze Tyrone should win handy from here. Derry far too passive with Tyrone's attacks trying to let the wind do the work rather than engaging pay the 45.

Ref has let a lot of nailed on frees go for both sides so can't complain much about that.

It's brutal but it would be hard to play decent football in these conditions.

This isn't aging well.... and if the umpire wasn't blind it would be worse for tyrone

Kilkenny needs to learn to kick scores again. Con needs to be inside also

that was a bad miss there

No red for O'se punching the Dub there. What does our professor of Refs say about that that.

sneaky blow. lucky it wasnt seen

This is pretty pathetic from Roscommon so far. Extra man and offering absolutely nothing.

They've been terrible. Early favorites for relegation on this showing

For as seriously as Monaghan seem to take this league, it's incredible that they have only ever won it once before back in the 80s. No Sams in that county either.

That ride you didn't get in Monaghan is still haunting you I see

Glen didn't deserve that but that Conor Glass goal worthy of winning any game.

You'd nearly feel sorry for the Rossies.... Nearly.

dont know about that. They had a lot of ball but kept butchering the chances. Bridgets were super efficient but just didnt have enough

Ref misses giving Glen 2 scorable frees here

just made up for it

Holy Jaysus, what in the f**k was the keeper doing there

nuts

10 wides to none. Hard to overcome that

Might be used as a punter and kick offs, but he too slow to be the goalkicker, I watched Nfl for 30+yrs and your kick time is literally 2 secs.

Apparently he is seen as a potential FG kicker and kick off kicker and not a punter (read that somewhwere). I get what you're saying about him being slow but its all about timing. If they get all the timing stuff worked out properly there's no reason why he can't kick the ball a split second after it is set by the holder

If one of these lads make it to the NFL they're earning a minimum of $660,000 a year under the league rules. Best of luck to them.

The starters on the top teams are getting $4 to $5 million a year so its a fantastic opportunity for these lads.

in NFL you have 1 job - kick the ball over the bar. A snapper will throw the ball backwards to the holder who positions the ball and then the kicker kicks it over the bar. This all has to happen really quickly as there's 11 250lb monsters charging toward the kicker trying to kill him. You'd have to think Beggan's leg is strong enough. I'll follow whoever he signs for.

A combine is basically an open training audition where all the prospects go through their plays while scouts from all 32 NFL teams are watching.
