Donegal V Tyrone Ulster Final 17th July

[twohands!!!]

9 of the Donegal players who featured today were in the over 30 category.

I thought they looked a very tired team in the second half.

Can't outrun time.

[Captain Obvious]

Some summer for Peter Harte a sure all-star already. Mickey Harte is building another All Ireland winning team but not sure will it happen this summer. Donegal have uphill task to reach All Ireland quarter final and will likely go no further.

After seeing the Donnelly black card there for the first time from the television pictures?

A disgraceful decision, McHugh ran in a straight line into Donnelly after he released the ball when he had no need to. Donnelly did not change his direction or go out of his way to get him.

Also thought Rory Kavanagh committed the most blatant black card offence on half time and Anthony Thompson should have been off for a second yellow. Haven't seen these incidents again but they certainly looked the case from the stands. We were very badly hit by poor refereeing decisions once again today but the team showed huge character after a poor first half display and some really poor decisions against them.

Subs made a huge difference when they came in - Brennan, McGeary, McCurry with points, Monroe with a super shoulder. A log of questions answered again, three wins from here on in. I've thought we could do it from the start of the year and I still believe that way.

100% a black card.
Coldrick is the best ref in the country and he doesn't give them out lightly.
I'm feeling kind of well disposed towards Tyrone for once, so don't spoil it for me.

It was a shocking decision, McHugh jumped into Donnelly which is evident in the replay? Please explain to me how Donnelly should be black carded when the Donegal man jumped into him?

Donegal have some great minors to come through so they build up ahead of steam in the next 5 years or so, problem is, so do Kerry

Just watched it again.....don't think Donnelly could do much more other than dive out of the way.

Rory Gallagher mustn't have faith in the youngsters if he is still carting out Kavanagh, McFadden and Toye and throwing Thompson back in the mix after being substituted. Donegal were in the minor final today and also in 2014. I think they got to 3 U21 Ulster finals in a row. Where are all these fella's?

[rrhf]

I didn't see either black card, but I felt coldrick let the hits go in and kept the game running. He may have missed the Donegal bc I believe but as for o Neills suggestion that Donnelly should have dived out of the road.  He might have got a bc for that anyway. Michael Murphy has played a lot for a 26 year old. Needs a break...

Donnelly looked for the contact, definitely a black card. Thompson should have seen red but overall Tyrone got most of the 50/50 calls.

Really? Another 'fact' then Lenny?

[tyroneman]

Rory Kavanagh gave a text book example of a back card foul and got a yellow.

Coldrick also let a clear kick go without taking action even though it was less than a few feet from him.

Terrible, terrible inconsistency.

[Zulu]

Coldrick got Kavanagh's correct from what I saw. I'm not sure lads understand what a black card is.

Minors coming through you simply can't predict. U-21 a much better guide, e.g. Donegal v Dublin in Breffni 2010.

[tyroneman]

How can this Tyrone team,after conceding five goals in two games against Cavan be considered to be in contention against Donegal? They have not met a first division team since last year and showed they have no bottle during the latter stages of the first game against Cavan,conceding easy goals and missing easy frees at the death.

Donegal by at least three, or more if they throw of the shackles and let big Murphy into the square where he should have a field day

Bottle of water....€1
Ticket for match....€30
Tony Fearon being completely wrong (again).....priceless

I'd agree I'm one of them.
