Back down to reality for this team. Murphy and Langan only reason we had a chance. Will be difficult to make a quarter final now. eddieSize5Balls (Donegal) - Posts: 139 - 24/05/2025 21:01:06 2612186 Link 0 |

Apparently so. Hope Patton is back soon.

Mulreany had a bit of a disaster in the first and last 10 minutes, did ok for the rest on kickouts. But he wasn't the only problem. We were poor. Only for a magnificent Langan performance we didn't offer much of a threat. The looping runs is a bit too one dimensional and on an evening like that against a solid defense its just not enough. A bit more guile, dropping of a shoulder and direct running is needed. Langan was the only one doing it. In saying that we were still in a position to win that after McBrearty's 2 pointer but the man himself coughed the ball up cheaply on the next play and Tyrone got a point on the counter. That moment was the turning of the game because Tyrone won all the kickouts after that. benjyyy (Donegal) - Posts: 1429 - 24/05/2025 21:18:00 2612199 Link 0 |

4 games for harps in 2022. Struggled badly, looked nervous and ended up just lumping the ball in top of murphy. In defence of Mulreany, it was his first start for a long time. Plenty other regular starters with big reputations didnt turn up tonight so it's not all on the keeper.. Also... This nonsense of trying to manage 2 point leads needs to stop. We were 2 up in the 64th minute and won the next kick out and Tyrone looked rattled. Instead of going for another score, we slowed it down and eventually got turned over. Never touched the ball after that.

A couple of more experienced key men looking very leggy for you this evening and with 2 gruelling games coming fast it's hard to know if they'll stick it out. Will be a good test for your squad. I think all provincial finalists will look forward to the 2 week break after next weekend. sam2024 (Armagh) - Posts: 55 - 24/05/2025 21:50:10 2612211 Link 0 |

I'm not surprised by that. If winning and Ireland is your goal then putting so much emphasis on Ulster doesn't make logical. The rules screw the ulster championship winners. Monaghan and Tyrone were much better served getting knocked out. In saying that it doesn't excuse some the sloppy unforced errors. And although the one near the end when 2 points up was the losing of the game there were far too many errors overall. The kick out fell apart near the end and it's not all on the keeper. Who bar Murphy was looking for the kickouts. Ulsterchamps_32 (Donegal) - Posts: 828 - 24/05/2025 22:00:13 2612216 Link 0 |

And then a potential loser goes him game against Mayo. We haven't beaten them in championship since 2012. That's if we get through a tough Cavan! Oh how the tables have turned tonight!
