Monaghan v Dublin AI Semi Final 15 July 2023

[bennydorano]

I agree about some serious soft freesfor the Dubs. Don't see why an Ulster ref is allowed near today's or tomorrow's game tbh, surely we're not that short of top inter county refs?

Monaghan have to he happy enough with that, Dubs have done bugger all tbh yet still lead, championship quarter coming up, Monaghan have to keep it very tight.

If monaghan can survive the oncoming surge they have a chance.

The worry is that 10/15min surge could happen at any stage during the 2nd half. Huge ask for Monaghan to keep it so tight from here on in... Hope they do!

[Blowitupref]

Dublin 0-8 from 12 shots
Monaghan 0-7 from 15 shots

Best to watch it on rewind, + fast-forward through the endless recycling.
Time for a shot-clock?

What Dublin scored from play?

[armaghniac]

The first half has been on Monaghan's terms. They may not be able to keep it so tight in the second half, but if they do then they'll be hoping to do the business in the last 5 minutes.

[JoG2]

What Dublin scored from play?

3 (Costello 2 and Small 1)

Plus 3 frees and 2 marks

[red hander]

Brilliant McAnespie

[Blowitupref]

Monaghan with the first score of the 2nd half level game 0-8 each.  39 mins played.

[imtommygunn]

Monaghan could be doing with a few more frees from this ref.

[imtommygunn]

Why didn't lavelle get the free initially? Poor.

[Blowitupref]

two in a row for Dublin they lead 0-10 to 0-8 45 mins played.

[clarshack]

Hurson giving soft frees to both sides.

[Rudi]

Monaghan have just got a free there, thought only Dublin could get those.

[Wildweasel74]

Can't understand why Monaghan don't try a couple in on top of McManus, or bring on McCarron and try it, Fitzsimmons not great under the high ball.
