Kildare off to a good start by the sound of it.

Brilliant finish for the Galway goal.

Thankfully it's how you finish that matters.....

I'm sick of supporting football at this stage, just pure frustration watching games these days.

[trileacman]

That ref is a clim of the of the highest order.

Diarmuid O' has some sorta cast on his leg after the match

Its on his head he should have a cast.

Thought McBrearty was absolutely superb for Donegal. Ryan McHugh not far behind. Neither deserved to be on the losing side. Murphy's four misses very costly. The one that Cluxton caught was a decent enough effort, but the 3 wides were very poor.
Jonny Cooper picked off some amount of interceptions for us.

Galway - Mayo was great gas! Not sure about the calls for red cards for the pushing/shoving nonsense when nobody does anything that warrants a red card. Someone said previously that in the AFL, play would just continue and the lads involved then usually arent long in stopping the jostling and joining in at the football again.

Hard luck for Kildare. Being awarded a free inside your own 45 right at the death when the jinky 11 had the ball in loads of space well inside the tyrone 45 can only be called pathetic reffing.

Heard he had his arm in a  cast after Galway lad head butted it....

Tyrone closed out that game with the points that made the difference, that's where they deservedly nailed this close encounter.
Tough on Kildare though but so many good chances wasted were their undoing, not just a ref who should have allowed them the  advantage at the death.
  On the ref, it annoyed me that twice he penalised the player bending over to gather the loose ball up, rather than the player who clearly bumped him to the ground from behind.
A memorable moment of the game was the ball from a Tyrone player in 2nd half last quarter which hit the top of the post.

Though my gaelic is well rustified but why was the TG4  commentator saying Kee all Daire and not Cill Dara?

Don't think we can blame the ref, Tyrone were given a free in at one stage for a foul by O'Grady that clearly happened inside the square.

This is one foul that seems to happen all the time! Especially to ''smaller'' players! And never seems to be penalised!

[Dinny Breen]

Can't blame the referee. We need to learn to win tight games, when we win we well. Frustrating but we are competitive, the feeling was promotion came a year early as team are still very young only 3 players older than 25. Tough league and that inability to win tight games will probably see us not pick up a point. Very harsh lesson but they need to learn from it to make Super 8.

Donegal game the proverbial 4 pointer.

Ye might beat us after the Dubs give us our annual spring run around.
