Bad call, but had Dublin controlled it in the middle that is over.

Dublin clearly working towards at least some level of quality.

Need to see that call again still not quite sure what happened!

Did he not move it up because dublin stopped the quick free? I didnt s
Think was bad call in real time

I'd need another look at that, felt harsh on first look. Donegal out of jail big time they've been shocking. Was it moved up for Dublin delaying?

Whether you think the ball should be brought up or not - just awful game management by Dublin to even allow this to be a possibility. Comerford way too quick with the final kickout, be a bit cuter and take your time FFS. And then not getting away from the Donegal player when a free is given on the halfway line with 12 seconds left... I mean Jesus lads are you not aware of the rules nowadays, get back in position and make Donegal try a potshot from nowhere

Crazy stuff to see from a team who were almost too disciplined over the past 15 odd years. The team under Gavin would never be that dumb

Kilkenny has never struck me as a dirty player so you'd wonder what happened that set Murphy off? Or maybe he was just looking for a scrap?

What was the issue with the moving it up call? Dublin didn't return ball from what I saw? Need to watch again tho.

About the only thing I want to see is what led the the ref to make that call.

Murphy being Murphy as usual.

Some baller but a bigger p***k

This is just great news for the 4 teams waiting in the quarters. Whoever came out of this game, all those teams probably fancied their chances given the poor quality of what we've seen today. Now the winners will not only have to play 3 weeks in a row, but with ET added in. I don't see a huge uplift in quality next weekend from whoever prevails here

Was it not a free for lying over ball?

Awful game management.  The handing the ball nonsense needs to be scrapped. Leaving it on the ground is enough.  Dublin will be kicking themselves if they lose in extra time. On Donegal could see today how and why they lost to Cork and Down at home.

Seems to be touch on ground.

Return the ball to who? He didn't foul anyone. He placed the ball back exactly at the spot where he was adjudged to touch the ball on the ground.
