Should win the appeal

Can't lift your hand in any shape or form. Can't see it being lifted, liability when it comes to handbags always does something stupid. Another poor performance from donaghy. More space in a club game to shine. Bottled up to easy and often shoots from stupid angles which proves costly at this level. Major positive is how good mc curry is shaping up.

I agree donaghy is finding out the hard way the difference between club and county football although it's only his first handful of games. He would have benefit from mckenna Cup games and a few more league games had this been a normal year.

I did have a chuckle when Jim mcguinness got stuck in talking about tyrone players considering some of the antics his Donegal team got up to.

Dazzler and Conn Kilpatrick the big pluses today as well as return of McShane. Mckernan, sludden and mccann deserve praise also, lads that's form hasn't been great previously.

I'd throw big Kennedy's second half performance into that mix too. If we can get a tune out of two big lads like him and Kilpatrick at midfield it would be a huge bonus. Maybe enable us to get Matty Donnelly in closer to goal. Himself, McShane and McCurry on that form would be a handful for anyone

Very comfortable today. Professional job. Have more hope coming into a potential Donegal clash than I would have been three weeks ago. Well done all involved.

Watching the game again there. Mccurry got taken out just before the tyrone goal on the 41st min after he got rid of the ball. How anyone can say a push in the face is more dangerous than an off the ball shoulder from behind is beyond me

It was slightly soft red card, but stupid by McNamee. Can 100% see why they gave a red card. And wouldn't have too many complaints tbh.

Thought hampsey looked more like him old self in there and Michael O'Neill worth a mention. Tougher tests ahead but good win

Raise it with Congress. As the rules stand today, McNamees is a red card.

Much improved performance from Tyrone. No goals conceded, midfield much better, MC Shane back. Plenty of positives but will be a huge step up next day if it Donegal. Wonder would Derry do us a favour?

skeog · July 11, 2021, 02:05:39 PM

No Red Card imo.Be overturned surely it was a mild clip.

LeoMc · July 11, 2021, 03:23:13 PM

To strike or attempt to strike unless it is a mild clip!

Interesting weekend of sport lads.
Derry really impressive and almost pulled off a shock. Were Donegal poor or do we see chunks on their defence. Derry seem to open them up loads for goal chances and had they taken one they could have won.
Best half time Entertainment I've ever seen as McConville's, McHugh and Harte really have a go at each other. Sidebottom letting them at it. 😂

Anyway, Tyrone came good v Cavan or were they just piss poor? For 25 mins Cavan gave as good as they got and I for one was a tad worried. Again our kickout strategy seemed totally random and I was just waiting for a short one to go wrong like so often before. In fairness Morgan played well but I really hate the way we are still making it so easy for other teams to restart and gain possession so easily. We rarely push up and man mark everyone. Saying that our midfield did well for large parts of the game with Kilpatrick showing well in the first half and Kennedy well in the second. It would be amazing if both could kick on and nail down their places for the future, whether for one more week or the summer.
McCurry was on fire 🔥 and was even winning dirty ball and scoring for fun. Almost Canavanesque at times with dummy bounces and jinxes. 😂
Sludden played well and looks to be getting back to his old self a bit. Donaghy found it tough going and often trying to do too much but it was his USFC debut so we'll cut him some slack.
McGeary, after a good NFL few games he went and undid all his good work with one crazy rugby style tackle and was walking a tight rope.
The defence played well for the most part with McKiernan impressing me quite a lot as I have often slated him in the past for losing his man and giving up goal chances.
McNamee played well until his macho ego caused him to react to some handbags from Cavan no 9.
How the umpire so far away could see what happened will hopefully cause it to be rescinded but he did raise his hands and push his face quite hard so we'll see. Hopefully the CCCC previous dislike for how we appeal a lot of suspensions won't affect their decision. 😉

All in all a good day at the office against the reigning champions and very potential banana skin. With Derry showing us Donegal aren't that far ahead of us all after all, so I approach this week with a lot of hope and optimism.
McShane looked a little slow I thought but suppose that's to be expected. I wonder will he and Murphy be held in reserve. I'd like to see Mattie up top with Dazza next week.

Would it be hard to get tickets?

Difficult to come to any conclusions on the Cavan game - they certainly didn't manage to raise the intensity to anywhere near where they were last year - and they fell away as the game went on - probably would have been more only for the sending off. I thought it was a harsh red but it possibly looks worse than it was from the view of the umpires or linesmen. Daft reaction but I did wonder what was going on or said to cause the reaction - Mc Namee is a very experienced player and should be able to laugh off a lot of nonsense.

Shame for Derry - they played great but you always sensed Donegal had a little bit extra to win.

I feel next week is still too early for Mc Shane and it's going to take big performances from the rest of the team and a few extra answers from management.
