Football Championship 2026 (Mod Note in OP)

He was clearly fired up.

As I said,don't give a ref a decision to make by you being a hard man. The ref only sees these incident once,usually out of the corner of their eye as they are concentrating on something else (like the football ),and you're asking them to make a split second decision based on incomplete information (a glance out of the corner of their eye.) . They are going to get it wrong some of the time. What's in your control as a player is not to be an asshole and 'laying one ' on the opponent.

As I said,I'm no mayo fan and I won't defend the mayo player and how he reacted,but this is 100 percent avoidable and 100 percent the meath man's fault

Expecting a big one from Dubs today. Donegal should have too much, but I think the Dubs will make them work.

8 day turnaround crucial for Donegal as opposed to the 6 for Armagh.

I fancy Dublin by 2 points

Dublin sloppy in possession. That was poor by Basquel, easily dispossessed by Langan. Redeems himself with a point...1st score in 13 mins.

That's unfortunate for Doran, he's been decent this year...Dublin unlucky with injuries this year with a squad in transition.

Donegal with a goal in the last minute of the first half.

Pure stupidity from Dublin and Basquel with another wild effort that's not on.

90 seocnds left, keep the ball and get the shot away and if it goes wide time is up so you go in 1 up instead of 2 down. Absolutely daft stuff.

Dublin doing well, Basquel and Con have stood up and took shots on, but a couple of bad wides from Basquel especially last one when the clock could have been ran down and Donegal get the goal from the often seen before Murphy flicked on kick out. Dublin are game but they need to be scoring everything to win

Donegal with the wind should get a few in the second half.
