Donegal v Tyrone Sun 17 May

[screenexile]

I thought Donegal would blown them out of it after the first15 mins but a relative sucker punch goal got their tails up and they got back into the game well.

I still think Donegal are by far the better team and if they come out in the same vein in the second half as they did they'll blow Tyrone away especially with the breeze.

PS. A decent game

Looks like Joe McMahon mouthing at Murphy, G Tyrone must be really afraid of him. Mickey Harte got no discipline of this team?

[Walter Cronc]

What was McMahon at? He started that nonsense after Harte had most of the players called back.

Looked like the Horse was heavily involved as well!!

[Chimley]

A nasty streak running through this game. It's close to getting out of control. A red card or two needed early if this carries on.

Things not quite going to script here for Donegal.

They were never going to.

Need to up the performance after losing the midfield for the last ten minutes. Short kickouts getting us in bother too from the Tyrone pressure. 

Happy to be 2 points up after playing against the wind and being pinned in our own half for 10 minutes, but need a big improvement and need to start pushing out a bit and speeding things up.

Mc Quillan and his team have failed Murphy, fouled persistently off the ball, physically and verbally, not a jot done.

Rewinded 'er back, all came from Cavanagh  & McGee

[BennyHarp]

Trash talking, trying to get opponents sent off, cynical play, dark arts, topped off by the scenes at half time, just typical Tyrone really

No doubt only Tyrone  - Donegals manager is pretty good at the old trash talking and dark arts himself! All a bit of hand bags - sets up the second half nicely. I'm happy with how Tyrone have played so far.

Cracking half of football, I'd say there's very few watching this one from behind the sofa. Donegal's handling and movement superior to Tyrones but our tacking and pressure is a lot better in the opposing half. Petey Harte is brilliant out there.

McQuillan had an opportunity to wave a black twice or three times (would have been a bit harsh, but would have been arguable) - in a game like this in these conditions he should have absolutely jumped on this.

Also his reffing of the throw ball has been a car crash - all players bar the 2 contesting should be 13m back instead he's letting them stand right there - this has directly led to further incidents.

Joe McMahon a sub , shouldn't be anywhere near it, and what Devlin was thinking, he def pick up a suspension.

[Sonny Joe]

O Neill wasn't to happy with Mattie Donnelly with the goal, Donnellys man scored it

[naka]

Multiple suspensions and a five grand fine each to be expected after those HT scenes. That was the standard set after the Athletic Grounds last summer. You can trust the GAA to be consistent about these sorts of things, can't you?

Hope so

But there wasn't a punch thrown?
