NFL Kerry V Donegal

one cold day today i nearly froze at the match, the game was over after 10 min when kerry got the second goal with a stiff enough breeze behind them. thought david moran was excellent and bossed his way around midfield and with tadhg coming back the watching dara (dara and mike frank weren't too far away from us in the terrace) must have feared for his job  galvin was very busy as was tommy walsh but aiden o mahony ain't a full back. aiden o shea (son of jacko) played well too. i thought gouch was very good but some kerry fans near us seemed to think he was useless (f8c8in animals) all in all kerry looked good and had donegal not conceded 2 sloppy goals they might have done better

Though JJ was a bit slow to react int hee first half. As he said himself the game was over after 15min and how long did it take him to make an adjustment

Maybe, but the biggest problem was in midfield, where we got completely cleaned out in the first 20 minutes - we're not exactly overburdened with talent in that area. Kerry were winning a ton of ball around the middle and releasing it quickly into their forwards, so there wasn't a whole lot the backs could do with the waves of attacks coming at them. That said, the first goal was a mess, between Gooch winning it and Durkan getting caught in no-man's land as he watched it dribble past him. Durkan also gifted them a point with an awful short kick-out, while he hit one or two more balls over the sideline. But then again, there probably wasn't too much showing for him.

We got cleaned in MF all right but why not drop Bonner back their straight away and try to stop the rot.
