What wasn't the sideline not kicked?

Don't think Donegal wanted to win that game. Never pushed it when they were 2 men up.

How can the buzzer go when the ball is dead?

Poor show from Donegal today. Couldn't match Galways work rate and accuracy. Playing against 13 for long periods.

The buzzer goes at 70 mins regardless of where the ball is.

Donegal had no interest or intention of winning that game

Never a red, he caught him nearly all on the shoulder,  not sure why the Donegal man holding his face.

The impact was to his neck and head, not "nearly all shoulder". Whether it should have been a red or not is a different matter.

But it wasn't to the head or neck, square on shoulder.  Also, why was the Donegal man holding his face, on the opposite side of where he was shouldered?

It's a red now under new rules.

You did see what we seen? It was a foul that was it

Any contact to head or neck area is a red. Simple as.

If the ball goes for a free or sideline it can be played but must go dead

That score from Maher should see them over the line, Donegal's work rate in the first half their major undoing and not inclined to go for 2 pointers when that's what's needed.


Re the case for postponing - if a keeper like Patton is barely getting  the ball out beyond the 50, then there's a problem. How would this work for underage with a wind like that. Every kickout would result in a hop ball.

Did a game today, wind pretty strong, he only has to hit it 20 metres, it's not a hop ball either

That's me told 🙈

Not so sure about that, simply weren't allowed. Controlling performance by the tribesmen who already look in the mood to challenge strongly for Sam once more.

I think you're right. I was hoping they'd save that until the Derry game 😀

On a side note, I can see the 50m dissent rule being a shitshow come championship. Already, half of the referees are not implementing it, half of the time.

There were a few things in my game that I'm still second guessing.

Too much too soon

I've said this many times, what's dissent for you may not be for me, let the ref decide how dissent over frustration is implemented, I'm long enough in the game to know who's being a p***k

[galwayman]

The look Joyce gave the Galway sub who got black card 😃

O Laoi hasn't exactly taken the opportunities he's been given in this league!
Nothing against the lad but he wasnt  able to make much impact off the bench three years ago and he hasn't improved much if any in the meantime.
Honest player but not really up to this level of ball

Totally agree. I refereed for 10 plus years myself, and would have been pretty lenient with dissent (mainly because I did a lot of slabbering as a player ).

It's the inconsistency I'm concerned about because it's a pretty harsh penalty. It's going to be difficult for referees to be consistent in the heat of a championship game.
