What did McCarthy get booked for?
Looked like a form of eye gouging to me, Glove in the face and pressing in on the eye with the fingers.

Mayoffs

Marty Duffy bugging me, reffing in his usual manner from the sideline. Must be killing him not being on the field destroying the game
we're on the verge of insanity (the verge just got narrower)

We can write Donegal off now. Absolute putrid shite to watch.

They can't even play puke well anymore.

Where they are going using that structure is beyond me. Haven't the athletic power to play it anymore

I never would've thought that Gallagher's gameplan would be even worse to watch than McGuinness, but it is. Leo McLoone as a lone forward is a new low in terms of negativity.

Mayoffs

Dublin are a machine, a relentless fu*kin terminator. There's no one out there to stop them this year again.

I thought you had already seen the 2016 Donegal in Tralee?

That looked about as relentless as a sleeping cat. Two teams playing up the jumper football.

I did, but this was comfortably worse . IMO of course.

It isn't that they can't really play it anymore but tat the tactic has been found out and will rarely beat the best teams anymore. Why Donegal, with some of the best forwards in the country, play that muck is beyond me. They won't win an All Ireland playing that way for sure. Everyone knows how to play against the blanket now so surely teams would prefer die with their boots on than get beaten showing no ambition or belief in themselves.

Nonsense, only one team were to blame for that.

Machine like Syferus. Give us a shout if you get that standard any day.

We'll probably give you the 2 points in Hyde Park for free as a charitable donation since Donegal weren't benevolent enough to accept them tonight.

I think we can get a tax break on them

Two of the best inside forwards around. It's simply bizarre now. Thompson, Lacey etc don't have the legs anymore to make that system work.
