Cavan v Donegal Ulster Final

Captain Obvious · June 23, 2019, 02:40:18 PM

Cavan caught like a rabbit in the headlights. Donegal living up to the billing as the main contenders to Dublin this summer.

Dirty act by Murphy. Made worse by the fact that he knew ball was going long, eyed up Galligan and rose the knee intentionally into him.

Did Hugh McFadden make contact with Faulkner's face just before halftime there?

McFadden acknowledged the hit with ref as Cavan counter attacked.

Dangerous in the air. I thought it was a yellow. But if the ref showed red he could had little complaint. That said, game over. The Donegal very fit with a very good forward line. They be the only team who might turn over Dublin

+1, and as previously mentioned Dessie says it looked worse than it was.

Cavan are so bad today, that you really cannot use this game as a metric

Needless by Murphy, and while I think yellow was correct, he probably couldn't have complained had it been red.

Going well in all areas, although that 60 second spell were Cavan missed the goal and we racked on two quick points could have made a difference.

As neutral watching this a disappointing non competitive provincial final. Cavan unable to respond to the quick Donegal start, the better Cavan players are not showing any leadership, they had two goal chances but both would have been totally against the run of play. I doubt Donegal going into this final thought they would have as much time and space to create and score for fun and they really should have scored a lot more than 0-13 in that 1st half.

Cavan backs playing like under 12's. Two or three following the ball and donegal always have a free man for the off load.

At least Gearoid McKiernan is showing a bit of leadership in this 2nd half. A cavan goal would make the last quarter interesting.

Cavan not lying down anyhow

FFS another 9 stepper for goal , game over. Another shit ref, Cavan turned over the ball earlier fair and square and he gives donegal a free out.

Awful time to concede a goal for Cavan when they were having their best spell.

What nine steps?

Brennan lost hold of the ball.

Timely goal for us. We had a very sloppy five minutes before it.

Any ref who puts his finger to his lips in an attempt to embarrass a senior player shouldn't referee again this season. Respect is a two way street.
