Ulster SFC: Derry v Donegal 27th June 2015

[dublin7]

2 Black cards given in error there and Donegal making a meal out of them... They've killed the game the last 5 minutes which is what the better teams do.

Strange you should say that Indiana when these are 2 teams you've struggled to beat the last year!!

Shocking game of football/basketball.  Derry left that behind them. Donegal cyncially killed game in last 5 min. Thought Ryan McHugh hurt himself the way he through himself to the ground for 2nd derry black card

What a load of bollocks. McFaul clearly took him out, kneeing him in the thigh. Clearly you haven't played much of anything if you don't know how painful that can be.

[Rossfan]

Awful sh1te.
Must be Donegal's poorest performance for 2 years.

His first sentence was on the money I thought

[Throw ball]

Honestly feel Derry threw away a great chance today. By their own standards Donegal were poor today. Armagh let them play football but Derry got in their faces and it was effective until Derry themselves lost their cool. It is unlikely that Donegal will be as careless again but Derry and Tyrone both showed if you get in at them Donegal are not as effective.

[J70]

Poor, poor performance from Donegal. Shades of the Down game in 2013, when they did barely enough to get over the line. Two monster points from Murphy at vital times the difference, in addition to the goal. Maybe that will dampen the ridiculous, knee-jerk hype a bit now. And it will take a huge improvement to get past Monaghan in the final. Well played Derry.

Yes, but that is not exactly a profound insight.

[tyroneman]

Ref was awful today. Wrong decision on most of the cards. 9 or 10 steps taken for the goal and also by McFadden a number of times. Blatant folks not called. Really poor.

He definitlely fouled him,  but he didn't put him into outer space in the way McHugh through himself into the air.  Strangely he recovered straight away from such a terrible hit.  Should send the Donegal physio/doctor down to Dublin.  With their miracle cures for seriously injured Donegal players, they could solve the hospital overcrowding in no time at all

While sky's analysis is far ahead of RTE, their constant insistence on seeing everything in a postive light gets fairly grating after a while

You've never heard of adrenaline? You've never played soccer or gaelic and taken or seen a player take a nasty knock, get up after a couple of minutes and play on, only to have it kill you/them the next day?

And BTW, in case you hadn't noticed, Ryan McHugh is a pretty small, light fella.

To be fair Donegal are good at making the most of things but in this case I feel McHugh was genuinely hurt. The Derry man was lucky not to see red.

[SouthDublinBro]

I genuinely feel embarassed that this game was showcased to our British cousins.

[twohands!!!]

Only 4 Donegal subs again - that's the 3rd game in a row

Mark McHugh for Colm McFadden 57
Anthony Thompson for Christy Toye 61
David Walsh for Patrick McBrearty in injury time
Hugh McFadden for MartinMcElhinney in injury time

Also Donegal had no-one missing with any injuries

Overall Donegal's squad depth is paper thin and it's very hard not to see it catching them down the road.

Donegal - the new Tyrone.  Flying through the air.  What about the tackle on Johnston?  Was it not a foot block?

As soon as Murphy takes a knock, their championship is over.
