NFL Division 1

[J70]

Brutal match, even without all the handbags.

Looks an extremely strong wind, so Donegal SHOULD get back into it in the second half, but there's too much messing around with the short handpasses. Kerry breaking much faster and winning plenty of scoreable frees as a result.

Pretty conclusive in that footage just shown in my opinion.

Close up of what McGee down there at half time, no suprise he got buried, it was abit like Paddy Campbell hitting Muldoon in the balls years back and getting levelled for it

[Redhand Santa]

Definitely looked like McGee tried to damage his fingers. Not sure if it's coincidental but Gallagher tried to do the same to Sean cavanagh in ballybofey last year.

Pity someone wouldn't throw a few digs donaghys way.

Just saw the Kerry red card incident. Some really unsavoury behaviour by Donegal to provoke it.....hopefully gets nailed on review

[square_ball]

And 14 obviously totally deserved his red card too despite that provocation.

Did you not see what preceded it? You're probably right he shouldn't have retaliated to someone trying to break his fingers.

Course I seen it, any man that lands 2 blatant punches on a mans face 5 yards from the umpire to bust open an opponent gets no sympathy from me, irrespective of what preceded it. However since you claim that McGee tried to break a mans fingers, please tell us more......Kerry....upholders of all that is pure in the game!!!!

Well??? Did you see that footage?

Grabbing his arm = trying to break his fingers?

Yeah absolutely. Any defence for that carry on? Just because it's your county doesn't mean you just condone it.

No, I saw it again. Doubt if he was trying to break fingers (you'd grab one if that was your intent), but definitely out of order by McGee.

Am I the only one that finds it strange that McGee is getting the bulk of the flak on here, when the Kerry no.14 was the main culprit. Maybe it's because of McGees reputation but anyone asserting that he tried to break his fingers is simply looking for sensationalism and also trying to justify the Kerry mans 2 punches. McGee is no angel but let's not try and incriminate him when he was more sinned against than sinner.

[fearsiuil]

McGee got what he deserved there.

Normally don't like these comments but in this case I agree, McGee at that bending back fingers craic for as long as I've seen him?

[Wildweasel74]

The TV replays showed exactly what he tried do, take the blinkers off

[tyroneman]

Hope the Sunday game crew and Brolly are studying this game....it's a masterclass in Dark Arts.......

[yellowcard]

Tried to 'break his fingers' adds a good bit of sensationalism to it. They were both wearing gloves and McGee clearly was trying to provoke but it doesn't suit the media agenda to portray Kerry as anything but purists. The Kerry crowd today are more animated than I've heard them for most championship games, they are totally hyped for this match.

What a free by Sheehan from the wrong side and into the wind!!!
