What was your view on the Donegal back squirting the contents of his water bottle at Paul Geaney just before he took the penalty?

Absolutely spot on Hermit. I have no time for this nit picking about things that were missed & what about this & what about that. As you said swings & roundabouts. MuckrossHead (Donegal) - Posts: 5028 - 30/01/2018 10:05:08 2072292 Link 2 |
It gave him the energy and motivation he needed to score a point. ps it was no penalty. Forward collapsed on the ground with men around him. He knew he had no chance other than to try the ref for a peno. Donegalman (None) - Posts: 3830 - 30/01/2018 11:02:54 2072315 Link 1 |
Sneaking in extra steps here and there occurs constantly in all games, the double hop doesn't. Pretty poor for no officials to pick up on it.

Much more than a few steps if you want to check back on the tv coverage, but as I said there's innumerable instances of decisions like this in every game. The ref did not cost Donegal the game, I think a relatively poor first half performance did that with only McBreaty keeping them in the contest up to that point.

Correct analysis, Donegal played better against the wind with 14 men and Mullins was foolish to kick out. The referee probably did cost them a deserved point awarding a dubious penalty and allowing a blatant double bounce ( two points scored). With respect to the 3rd Donegal goal their midfielder Hugh McFadden was still being dragged, pulled and obstructed after the free was awarded .. when the offending players weren't retreating the referee allowed him (almost encouraged him) to advance from the ruck and get his kick away... its something you see happening usually when a player is fouled in his own half and seldom results in a score.

Good man 'Tomsmith here' .. a proper curved ball but well answered by Donegal lads on here. Work and life has a habit of moving people around .. great Rossies like Early to Kildare , Newton and O'Connor to Inishowen in Donegal. Even in your own county: Last Ulster winning team was coached by a DONEGAL man, Current team is coached by a TYRONE man, The great John Wilson lived, taught and played for a while in LETTERKENNY, Centre half forward on your famous Polo Grounds team was a DONEGAL man which reminds me that the legendary Mick Higgins was born in NEW YORK. Not forgetting of course that the great Seanie lived and played for a while in KILDARE. Well done on your draw on Sunday, it would be great to see the Breffni Blues being competitive again in the top flight. A lot of tradition and passion for football in Cavan. Was wondering if your connected to Tom Smith a GAA broadcaster on New York radio and International soccer games involving Ireland on ESPN USA?

Tomsmith Co Cavan Lockjaw here from Donegal. I note that the Cavan senior county football team have seen fit to start recruiting players from over the border in the Royal county. If memory serves me it was also a on outsider who led your team to their last Ulster championship success. What would your take be on that?
