It does stop a man catching a long ball in and getting swamped by 3 defenders and getting turned over.

Is this what people want to stop?

The mark has been rarely used for this in recent times.

Going to take a guess and say Itchy was a forward in his playing days?

Both marks should have been went for, both men have the distance, so hitting it hard enough to go dead,  instead of a Donegal counter attack.

Disagree tbh, Jarly Og probably hasn't kicked 10 shots with his feet his whole Armagh career, Soupys was the wrong side.

Then why did they call the mark?

Burns slid in to catch the ball with a Donegal player about to come in and tackle him. I think he called the mark to give himself a few seconds to look at his options.

Also I don't think Burns would have had that kick in his locker.

Deserved to lose having refused to win. Jarly get out and practice the shooting add a string to ye bow for next day

Agree, probably both mens biggest strength is running at players, will forgive Soupy as he had played the full game but Jarly was fairly fresh, obviously easy to criticise from the stand but felt he should have played on and went at his man.

They were shots to nothing, You could get a shot away and kill the ball and be set up behind. Its very odd that they called marks and then kicked backwards. Maybe a sign the pressure was getting to them?

Yeah, obviously easy to say in hindsight, but as far as I remember we got a couple of turnovers from pushing up on kickouts, take the shot and worst case it goes wide but you've a chance to get set and turn a kickout over.

Great angle for Dohertys score. He had no intention of calling a mark.
But something went wrong with the Armagh match ups there. Looked like Hall(?) left Doherty free to cover a man in the middle.

Defo something went wrong and i'm sure that will be well investigated.

On Hall, I just dont get his introduction but maybe that's just me. I think we had better options.

You would not be on your own, I think he would be one of the players who gets minutes that would be questioned among supporters. Conor o'Neill/Ross McQuillan for me would have brought more to the table on Sunday that Jemar.

I wonder did they ever manage to drag McBrearty off the stand, wittering on for a long time.
Cringey stuff from Niblock too chuckling every time McGuinness did a fist pump.

It wouldn't surprise me if Tyrone beat Donegal in 2 weeks. No great shakes.

Also that is a very posh voice of Thomas Kane for a South Derry person.

Didn't look like they needed to be any great shakes to beat Tyrone the first time around to be honest
