Donegal V Dublin

[Canalman]

From what i saw on Tg4 I would have given Barry Cahill MotM, with Kevin Cassidy a close second.....he is some man for getting on the ball.
Seemed to me that both Conal Keaney and Whelo fouled alot during the game, nothing malicious mind, but just bad technique and both could have been in trouble with another ref.
Thought McConnell was quiet in open play but still scored 3 pts........ a full forward maybe???
Agree about Ballyshannon, was there c10 years ago for a NFL game and near took me a day to thaw out afterwards.

Truth be told, 2 poor teams in comparison with the fare served in Omagh the previous night.

Fair play to Andrews in playing the 2 games at the weekend.

Finally, the TG4 ladds seemed to see (but not catch on camera ) the Jayo "incident", acc to them it would seem both he and a Donegal lad tangled and Jayo slipped the foot back or something to that effect. Donegal players didn't seem to make an issue of it at the time and match continued in a sporting manner. Don't think we will hear any more of it from them. Not the Donegal way to whinge imo.

Yes 2 very average teams and Dublin did deserve to win. My mates all backed Dublin with 1 lad having 300 on them at 11/10. I will never back against Donegal again after the Kerry Own goal in last year opening NFL game in Ballybofey. When Donegal got level i thought they might go on and win it but the Dubs controlled the last 10 minutes with Ger Brennan in particular having a Great last 10 minutes kicking a score ,being fouled for another and charging forward. Think i was right about Ray Sweeney and Eoghan Waide, although not horrendous they offered nothing at all, they never broke the tackle once or stopped a dub in possession or won a 50/50 ball. I still think a full Donegal Team with Gallagher, Lacey, Dunnion, Mc Glynn, and Mc Fadden involved they can still make an Ulster Final this year and on the day you never know. I also think Michael Boyle had a solid game in goal and i hope he stays there because Durkin is a liability.On The issue of Ballyshannon don't get me started i could go on all day. Ballyshannon is a hole and thats it.
