It's not often you come away after digging out a victory, in such a manner, absolutely seething with the match officials. They were shocking today. The black card was, to put it mildly, dubious. Mayo were awarded a point in the first half that was clearly wide. They had two clear breaches of the three up rule while we were pulled on our own kick out because, apparently, we had two men in the Mayo half. The game was stopped for an injury to Jason. He restarted the game with two medics still treating him. We were denied a penalty for a foot block and we couldn't buy a free in the Mayo half. Rant over.

There were a lot of positives today despite the tight scoreline. We created plenty of chances but weren't as clinical in front of goal as usual. We had some excellent individual performances. McColgan, Langan and Shane O'Donnell were excellent and Murphy was his usual self. McCole is now the best full back in the country and Roarty is a freak of nature. Having Patton back was also a big bonus.

Defensively we played well bar the spawny goal they scored. We looked really sharp in transition. However some of the forward line didn't quite fire. We spurned at least three goal chances, something we cannot afford to do again.

Yes, I also felt Donegal played a little better than Mayo, but in some ways were fierce lucky to win the game. Mayo must be feeling terrible at not playing in the last section of the AI deciders. In any case, they're out. However, there's a lot of noise doing the rounds on social media, and other outlets, have even had a chat with a Donegal based teacher on an issue about the actual Football that's played with by both teams in a game. Is there a rule that one football only has to be used in a game, unless it has a slow puncture and then the ref only can get a replacement. When Mayo scored that last point to draw level the Donegal goalie picked up a loose ball and kicked out double quick. It was not the matchday football that was kicked over the bar. Some are saying this is illegal and shouldn't happen. I know it does in games many times, but this is really being spoken about as a totally illegal act and should be investigated. Is there a rule, does anyone know. It's an interesting one.
