Sam Maguire Group 4 - Derry, Clare, Monaghan, Donegal

[J70]

What a season turnaround for Donegal. The common knowledge was that you couldn't shake off poor league form in the condensed championship.

Fair fucks to the lads. Never saw them getting two wins in that group with all the missing players and the general atmosphere around the county set up.

Will be tough to make a quarter final, but a good draw at home and we can make it a half decent season. McBrearty got another 15 minutes in the legs too.

Top of the group job done and a well deserved weeks rest for the lads. Great... and the goat is back!!!

Monaghan were very poor compared to their performance against Derry and the Tyrone 2nd half. Gave Donegal far too much room.

Can't believe how poor Monaghan were there.

Soft Beggan free or not, they didn't deserve anything on that performance.

Jaysus these poor subs are getting a dogging behind the 2 lads!

Do Monaghan have a thinner panel than average or did the matches catch up with them?

I thought it was a foul by Beggan. Caught him at side of head.

Fair play to Donegal and Aidan O'Rourke who was given a near impossible task.  Could draw the likes of Cork,Kildare next and reach the All Ireland Quarter final.  As for Monaghan they didn't build on that draw against Derry, so inconsistent and could reach the last eight yet, would fancy another crack at Tyrone?

Credit indeed to O'Rourke. Himself and Bradley stayed on with little thanks or appreciation at a rough moment for the Donegal team. He'd be entitled to feel he's earned a proper shot at it if he gets them through next week.

Could the Armagh job be available?

Colm Collins not seeking reappointment. What a job he has done with Clare - fantastic.

Outstanding job he's done.  Took on Clare team that finished midtable in Div 4.  Brought them up to Div 2 and kept them there for 7 years.  Twice reached All Ireland Quarter finals in his time with Clare.

Fantastic servant to Clare GAA.

He's probably reading this really honest and heartfelt post now and, being an emotional chap, will have noticed the large lump in his ..:

When Donegal cleared of line Monaghan got a placed ball. Why? Awful call. Got a score too.

Was there not a double hop for Monaghan's 15th point?
