Dublin vs Laois

Jaysus. Split Meath in two.

Cork players caught sledging then Hurley touches the referee about as much as Rory Brennan did and there won't be a peep about it.

Sure it's awful ye can't rub the mans nose in it when he makes a mistake.

Ref is brutal

Mayo very impressive today. Durcan is a class act. Keegan seemed to make a lot of interceptions as well. 7 and 11 for Mayo were very good too.

Divsion 4 winners in the top tier championship? Hmm. Although will leave division 1 highly entertaining.

TV?

The GAA should have been clear on what the policy is for this from the start so that everyone knows where they stand. Whatever rule applies to sligo in this instance should apply to all other counties where it will inevitably happen also

Can't see any county with a shout of winning something getting lads tested and taking the risk.

Agree with this if they abandon the provincial championships. The days of Dublin n Kerry sauntering through their provincial championships have to come to an end

+1

You can't keep the provincial championships and have the championship on a knock out basis. No incentive for players from Munster/Leinster outside of Kerry, Cork & Dublin to sacrifice 6 months training just to get hammered and knocked out after maybe one game

I see what you're saying but look at the 3 games in Ulster over the weekend. Absolutely  unreal and went down to the wire. Maybe throw Dublin and Kerry into their own competition out of the road.

Isn't it an awful f**king shame that Rory Gallagher still gets work?

What do you mean 'work'? Are you implying he's being paid?

Doing it out of the goodness of his heart same as the rest of the managers

Soft frees keeping Derry in it.

Few observations following the match

Winter football is a horrendous idea.
Mcquillan is (still) a horrible ref.
Tyrone are exactly where I thought they are.
Donegal played well but not as far on as I thought.
Tierarn McCann and Conor Meyler need to go.
Michael Murphy is always beside the ref following an incident.

Conditions had a huge effect, Donegal were impressive enough I thought. Meyler done rightly I thought, didn't see much of McHugh

McKernan just slapped Murphy on the head... Red Card.

Murphy has too much self respect to even acknowledge that tap

Seen that. Wonder what mental gymnastics the Tyrone ones will come up with to justify it.

Always good to see them Tyrone ones gone. 
In all seriousness, fair play to both sides, very enjoyable game in that weather. Donegal very impressive and all their forwards will take some stopping.

Nice to know a strike to the side of the head is a yellow and not a red.

Red for the diver would have been more appropriate.

McQuillan giving all the soft ones to Donegal now. Was just was just biding his time.

McKiernan channeling his inner Tiernan McCann earlier. Should get a ban for that.
