Dick Clerk in is a terrible pundit. Acting like a monaghan cheerleader and offers nothing but bland comments

Yeah - an neutral would be far better.

Down goal! Down 1-9 Monaghan 1-8

foot block there
should be a yellow card

[twohands!!!]

Zero pressure at all in the build-up to that goal before the ball was dropped in around the square -

Marking on both sides is poor.

+1

Clerkin is dire.

HT Down 1-9 Monaghan 1-9. High scoring game but neither side can be happy with their lack of defending in this game.

Monaghan have finally tightened up a bit but there marking at the start was shocking. Drew wylie would do alright on harrison if they would have a sweeper and stop the ball coming in so easily.

Credit to Monaghan for going in level while adopting a no marking and wild shot policy. I thought they were better but only for some great free taking they'd be in trouble.

I'd agree with James Horan on Sky, Down have been the better team and should be ahead.

[Hound]

I enjoyed that half very much. Fair play to Down, looked the better team to me, but Monaghan frees keeping them in it. Exciting half to come, completely 50/50.

As an aside, if I was a Down supporter I'd be disappointed with the keeper (who's done well otherwise) for the goal. Easy save if the keeper hadn't dived out of the way. Ball hit straight at him

Blame the Down defenders for being absolutely daft - there should have figured out way quicker he wasn't going to let anything go, but they still continued with the little jersey tugs - handed Monaghan at least 3 points by my reckoning.
