    Donegal's defence are all over the place. Monaghan could have had another 2 goals but for poor finishing.

    What on earth is he complaining about that card for. Steps into the path of the Donegal man to block him and throws his arm across his neck for good measure. Pure stupidity.

    Great game so far

    Having been given a black card already, that was a silly challenge to get a red for.

    Beggan seems to be playing mostly outfield since the red card.

    Does it regularly, even when they've 15 on the pitch. A team will rarely pick up a keeper and he plays a good role as the out ball and has a great delivery to runners.

    Yes Monaghan could easily have scored 6 goals in that half. A long tíme since Donegal was so poor in defence.

    I'm loving the open/poor defending anyway. Makes the game far more exciting.

    Ffs. An absolute deluge there now. That's gonna put the end to the good game we had and turn it scrappy.

    Enjoyable match. Draw probably a fair result. Donegal did well to come back and stick at it.

    I must say I love this new tactic in football of the keeper being an extra outfield player.

    It will be more entertaining when they lose possession, to see what happens next.

    The aul fly keeper has happened often enough in recent years, would like to see it utilised a bit more tbh.

    I do remember the Wicklow keeper being slated a few years ago, cos as mentioned above, he wasnt able to get back after losing possession.

    See it often enough in the club game also where teams dont know what to do when a keeper comes out and he just remains free. Adds an interesting dimension.

    The penalty miss for Armagh is proving costly. Would have put them 4 points ahead as it stands with about 11 minutes to play they are now 3 points behind

    Really sums up the sad state of affairs of football these days.

    Keeper can basically solo out as far as they like because defenders are instructed to stay on their man no matter what.

    You'd really miss the unpredictabilty/gung ho aspect of football.

    Now it's a game of chess.

    Both codes have gone down that road.

    All teams playing a very rigid tight possesion game.

    1-01 v 0-06 Kerry lead at the water break.
    About a dozen wides is truly awful with less than 20 gone.
    Kerry playing well but the Dublin goal really showed up the Kerry defender, great patience in the lead up by the Dublin forwards.

    Same problems in the Kerry defence shown up by the second Dublin goal.

    The 2 goals have badly rattled Kerry. They were very comfortable.
    All at sea now.

    Poor by the ref, advantage should have lead to a Kerry goal.

    Kerry full back line in the horrors.
    High ball into the square 10 minutes ago, easily won by Dublin, keeper saves well.
    Repeat the high ball 10 minutes later, easily won again, 3rd Dublin goal.
