Surely that was a tap over free from a breach by Tyrone. Why was it a free only on the half way line?

Thought the penalty was really soft but apart from that I agree. Monaghan wouldn't have been flattered with a 12 to 15 point win today. They really were that much better.

To be fair to Louth they had a major result 2 weeks ago and you couldn't begrudge them being a bit off it today. They will need to up their game against Down though
The penalty was soft, there wasn't enough pressure in that hand on the shoulder to crack an egg also the Louth free before that was cotton soft. The ref had a decent game though and noticably didn't call a player for overcarrying, hopefully that's a sign that the fanatic prosecution of the 4 and a half steps is a thing of the past.

Can't work that one out. There's absolutely no grounds for awarding that free without the associated card.

Tyrone playing more like their 2000s team here. They're  more confident in their ability to compete than they were against Armagh.

Why would you go for the 2 pointer in weather like that. Take your easy points when you can

Mc Kernan is a wild slabber of a lad.

Murphy can kick a ball.

Level game with a another Murphy two pointer free.
Is the ref going to finally blow his whistle?... No, he's going to blow his nose

Would murphy not just f***ing retire and leave us alone

Donegal looking poor enough(or been made to look poor enough)at times. Game could go either way.

A two free pointer and one pointer from play give Tyrone a 3 point lead.  Donegal closes out the half with a point.  Tyrone two lead at half time.

Why did Donegal get the ball after the two players went down after colliding  ?

Still trying to figure that out. Evenly enough matched teams at the minute

Rule was amended half way through league. If a player collects, intercepts or carries ball over the line then it's a free from the point of the infraction. Otherwise it's still the 21 yard tap over.

Tyrone definitely started with the higher intensity and the wet ball has not helped us.

Murphy has dragged us back into it, but there's plenty of room for improvement in the second half.

As you say, impossible to call at this point.

How did Murphy kick them frees against that breeze

Whilst completely unintentional, Hampsey is the one who causes the collison as McFadden is in the air and actually got 2 hands on the ball. Hampsey is still on the ground and running into McFadden in the air and gets none of the ball. Good call for me.
