One of the lads I play a bit of football with is a referee and we had a discussion on it a good while back, his interpretation was that if the blocker's foot made contact with with ball while it was still in contact with the kickers foot it was a stonewall free. However if the ball had left the kickers foot and the blockers foot then made contact with the ball he generally wouldn't whistle it up. Didn't see the incident myself so can't give an opinion on it but just thought I'd mention one ref's interpretation.

The incident you're describing isn't a foot block AFAIK

Aye but if the kick away/block comes within the follow thru of the kicker foot i would regard it as a foul as the danger of I jury is still there.

TG4  have scheduled deferred coverage of the Monaghan Mayo game, sometime after the Galway Tyrone game.
Usually Mayo supporters can't stop nattering about all things Mayo, perhaps cowed into silent apprehension about Sunday's encounter?

It's a massive game for Mayo. Lose and I think we'll be in Division 2 next year. I'm not expecting a Mayo win given the Donegal and Meath performances. You can make an allowance for the Dublin game, but I think Dublin would have upped the tempo anyway in the second half if we had the fifteen for the whole game. The younger forwards badly need to step up to the plate this weekend for us to have any chance of getting anything out of this one.
Inaugural Football Championship Prediction Winner.

Donegal look more likely to join Meath in division two next year regardless of the result in Clones this weekend.

Just can't see how we can win it on present form, very disjointed , terrible gameplan , I can't even see a pattern to it at all , it's very free for all stuff, Aido taking that sideline in Navan summed it up for me .  Monaghan are extremely tough and very fit for this time of year , could possibly open us up for a right thrashing but knowing our bucks and their desire to be so mercurial, we will probably win with a headed goal from Robbie Hennelly in the tenth min of injury time .
Walk-in down mchale rd , sun out, summers day , game day . That's all .

Very potent forward line especially when have Ian Burke and Martin Farragher to come back in.

Ian Burke's 2019 form in a Galway jersey was terrible, if he plays at a 2018 level then he'll be a massive addition but he has it all to do to get back to that standard.
Farragher has done absolutely nothing yet at inter county and was piss poor against Mayo last July but in fairness he hasn't got too many opportunities outside of that either.

John Daly must be injured, big loss for Sunday as he's been outstanding so far this year.

Monaghan's season ended early in 2019, so to be back in training in November wasn't a big stretch, they are a bit ahead of the pack on the fitness levels.
It should be a very  good game unless the weather intervenes and after Dublin stealing a point at the death, I'd expect Monaghan to be chomping at the bit.
Intensity was never an issue with Banty, but it is a strange sight to have tactical brains in the mix as well.

I'm not too sure Ian Burke is even on the panel tbh.
We shall see.
On his 2019 form he would not get on the team - 2018 form he walks onto it.

Daly picked up a knock (ankle I think) against Donegal so out for this weekend it seems.  His direct replacement needs to start showing some form at IC level as his last outing in a Galway jersey was very poor indeed.

For sure Farragher was poor but he also needs to have a much better attitude - what he displayed last July below in Limerick is just not acceptable at this level.  His issue was probably with KW, but nonetheless he was like a spoilt brat!

Weather not forecast to improve much between now and Sunday so will be very much a slog for both teams in Tuam.

I didn't see this particular incident myself during that game, only heard about it afterwards but that type of behaviour when substituted isn't really acceptable, it's not like he was getting wrongly subbed after having lit up the Mayo FB line either.
