Doire v Mhuineacháin 24/5/09

[Overthebar!]

Is it still "out of character" for Doherty to act like a sc**bag?

Mullan will be suspended.

Chrissy McKaigue - Pathetic.

Did he do something doorty? Or was it just a poor performance?

he played well enough, think he playacted when there was nothing wrong with him. never good to see

as for doc he prob did deserve to go. he was dirty enough but so are monaghan and as captain he doesnt was to show any weakness.
happy enough with the performance. knew it was gonna be scrappy anyway. celtic park is some job also
all of the defence had a great game....roll on the next round

[Stalin]

The Monaghan keeper was rolling around the ground after 5mins as if he was dying. Few others in the Monaghan side guilty of it too. Shame that McKaigue was a it too, although I didnt see it.

Need to stamp that shite out ASAP. That and the soccer chanting and disgusting tactics from Monaghan. Or just ban Monaghan.

[ExiledGael]

Or just ban Monaghan.

I'll vote for that.
Seen McKaigue at that, pretty pathetic alright. Right in front of me and similar to McQuaid I thought. It's a disease.

[SuperHans]

now i know why mceaneny didnt like the experimental rules.

monaghan are so negative, had d freeman and d hughes filtering back in front of our full forwards. if they let d freeman attack a bit more they may have got something out of todays game

dessie mone also gets a special mention for his ' tight' marking

[clarshack]

Brolly and Spillane is better viewing than the match.

Tell me about it. It was all it took for me not to switch over.

Watched a bit on the BBC and put it straight back to RTE. Did catch Martin McHugh say Dooher is a fantastic player

it used to be the case where even a bad gaelic football match was still a hundred times better than watching a game of soccer. not any more - if the last 2 weekends are anything to go by.

That was never true in the first place. I've seen plenty of absolutely godawful games of football that would rank up with any Bolton v Stoke 0-0 draw on a wet Monday evening in January.

[pintsofguinness]

Why do we always need to bring soccer in to it 

[INDIANA]

A lot of bad manners in that game alright. CCCC might suspend the one Derryman for ball kneeing, as attacks on the swingers seem to be the only offence punishable by video evidence. If they don't look at some of the other stuff it will be a cop out though, with the one player as the scapegoat.

That said, must the RTE commentators sound like they are a combination of 60 year-old spinster school-mistresses talking about naughty children and Kate Adie reporting from a Congolese convent where 20 nuns have just been slaughtered?

So kicking someone in the nuts is acceptable? Their analysis was fair enough on the derry v monaghan game- it was a brutal match like last weeks. I don't like them as analysts but they were spot on today.

[thejuice]

shockin bad game, Monaghan should have won it but their shooting was terrible. Derry will want to improve drastically if they really want to win Ulster, they looked poor today.

[Maguire01]

Dick Clerkin is one dirty dirty *******.

How did you manage to single out Clerkin out of all that went on today?

[Oakleafer1993]

Monaghan are a dirty shower - they spoiled the game today with their cyncial play - Clerkin was absolute disgrace - gesturing to the crowd with his little TV box - he was at doherty the whole game - fergal was a saint putting up with it for so long. Thought McGuckian did a great job on that little bullock Freeman. Its the winning that counts today - the football will come later. Referee was rubbish.

A couple of years ago we played in a 'great game' (for the neutral) against Longford in the qualifiers and got beat by a point. I have to say I'm alot happier today whether it was ugly or not.

[ExiledGael]

Seen Clerkin making the TV sign, what exactly was that about?

[Maguire01]

Very poor performance today - kicked ourselves out of the game. Monaghan should have been at least 3 up at half time, but the waste was terrible. Derry pushed on at the end with some impressive points.

The referee had no control of the game whatsoever - made some baffling decisions and should have been flashing yellow and red cards a lot sooner than he did.
One question - on more than one occassion, the ref blew for a Derry free, then a Derry player commits a foul and is booked, yet Derry still retain the free... should that not be a throw ball?

[Schkite]

Having the blinkers one doensn't describe what's coming out of some here!

Clerkin was absolute disgrace - gesturing to the crowd with his little TV box - he was at doherty the whole game - fergal was a saint putting up with it for so long.

Yeah he was a real credit to your county today! 

Both teams were at it FFS, if you can't see that there's no saving you.

Referee was rubbish.

I agree, how he didn't send off Mullen for kneeing McManus in the balls I'll never know.
