Ulster Championship 2025

Farcical

[thebigfullforward]

Referees still struggling with the rules then even with all the support they have?

[David McKeown]

Seems to and it's potentially a 4 point swing

[J70]

Impressed with Monaghan so far. Really pressuring Donegal up the field. Think we'll need a good lead going into the second half.

Is there another team field sport where 20 percent of the team are restricted from one half of the field, asking for a friend.

[trileacman]

With all due respect there hasn't really been any real football played in this half with the exception of Thompson's points. It's all overlaps and wrap-around plays. There's very little of players actually taking on their defenders. It's a very very dull spectacle.

Half time Monaghan 0-8 Donegal 0-14

Really?

Christ the GAA+ coverage is horrible.

McNamee has a bit of work to do as a pundit.

Donegal cruising.

Let's see.

In soccer, attackers aren't allowed to be ahead of defenders, meaning up to 50% of the field.

In rugby, neither attackers nor defenders can be ahead of the ball, meaning up to 99.9 of the field.

In NFL, the offensive line are unable to receive the ball until it has passed the line of scrimmage. Which is up to 99.9% of field.

Basketball's back court rule means 50% of the court is out of action for everyone once the ball crosses that line.

So while I can see you're trying to make a point here, the point you're trying to make is not one that supports your general argument.

First 15 minutes when I made the comment, yes. We've been well on top since, although they've knocked over enough to keep them in touch with the breeze to come.

Is this McNamee's first time out?

It could be yeah but he's struggling.

He seems very nervous doesn't he.
