I dunno I was at a Rathmore game at the end of last year and Paul Murphy played centre forward for the whole game.

Apparently he played there all of last year for Rathmore but I assumed as a sweeper, but clearly not.

I know he scored 1-3 from there after getting off a helicopter in one game!

Murphy looks exciting at numer 11 the don hada great game in the middle but its worrying to see to see that all these ould lads comming back and steadying the ship and turning a perfect good back into a forward I tought the county had loads of forwards where is the all these promising young lads that are supposed to be coming through

DDC1990

Down were awful. Nice to see 22 points

Donaghy was brilliant.

Cooper kicked one brilliant point.

Defence was solid.

But I can't express how awful and uninterested Down were.

Good to win. Hopefully we get a win over Donegal in Tralee to give us a bit of breathing space before Mayo in Castlebar.

I'm a soccer man. Follow the Kerry footballers but have only ever watched two hurling games. Kilkenny twice on telly. And with division 1 hurling on your doorstep it would be a shame to miss it.

Really looking forward to tomorrow,I hope the hurlers do themselves justice,really hope they give Wexford a right good game of it,give them a good rattle

DDC1990

Shocking attitude from minute 1 from Donegal IMO. Filthy stuff. Baffling to see Alan Fitz walking on his own after the first 5 minutes, I believed for 10minutes that McGee had been sent off for his punch as well! Several punches thrown by both sides. Mahoney in his attempt to get Murphy sent off managed to goad McLoone into punching him square in the jaw. Stupidity all sides, not what we wanted to see with a televised game.

Some lovely football from us in the end. Great goal. Donegal aimed to kill the first half due to the big wind, but if they had played to win instead they may have won the game in the end.

wonga77

Our attitude wasnt much better tbf. One or two just love to goad and act the hard man, Donaghy got things off the mark when he dragged Murphy to the ground a few moments before Fitz's red. Trampish behavious from Mcgee but it was probably next to impossible for the ref to spot what happened, they zoomed in on it at ht on TG4 and he could be in trouble yet. Mcloone didnt really even connect with Mahony but it was daft from him as he had been yellow carded a few minutes earlier and the ref was obviously going to even things up if he got a chance. Cant have any complaints about Enrights black card but I couldnt see what Denis Daly got his black for and it showed no replay on tv.

Once again Sheehans kicking was magic, bad mistake from the Gooch in the leadup to Murphys goal but overall some very positive displays from a few guys

Agree we were absolutely filthy as well, but Donegal tried bullyboy tactics from the throw in.

That laid down the marker for the rest of the game.

Hope McGee sees a long ban for nearly breaking Fitzgeralds fingers. Fitzgerald threw punches so he deserves whatever ban he receives.

The sucker punches on Marc and Donncha were disgraceful.

Mahoney tried several times to get Murphy a second yellow screaming in his face. McLoone was stupid to react to Mahoney and deserved the line. I missed Daly's black card, but I agree that Enright's was fair enough.

dobman88

This is pretty filthy from McGee. Will surely get a ban for this.

Poor advertisement from both teams. I'm sure that if there were 30 player cams there would be a long list of bans handed out. Camera behind the goal will be costly for McGee. Reds were deserved. Donaghey very lucky to stay on the field. Generally speaking any one who grabs a player by the throat or in a headlock should get a red. Crazy stuff.

I especially liked McGees choice of player to go after- one of the smaller and more inexperienced members of the Kerry team.
He will have had several opportunities to do the same to someone like Donaghy over the years- never has materialised though.
The minute he gets a dig back- he runs whinging to the umpire- a true hardman

Poor on both sides. Both teams full
of big boys, well able to handle it like men and move on.

That was his intention though. He'd be delighted the Kerry player lashed out and gave him a bloody nose. It meant Kerry were down to 14.

Its a pity the GAA doesn't really condemn ****ers engaging in this behaviour.

homerjay2005

Am I the only person who thought Donegal were down to 14 and then 13 in the first half?

Seemed to be two red cards in the first incident as both went off and McGee not coming back on just added to the confusion. I think also the stadium announcer never realised it was a blood sub as nothing was announced or no board went up either.

Anyway, savage game, great win and we did well to win that.

Am, how about no? There is a line, and it was certainly crossed today.

Donaghy would just want to play football instead of getting in arguements. O'Mahoney is due a belt just for his tough boy behaviour

Donaghy is perhaps the most targetted footballer in Ireland alongside Michael Murphy and Aidan O'Shea. Big lads aleays draw attention.

Murphy and O'Shea handle it a lot better though. Donaghy lets it get to him.

Mahoney's behaviour cannot be condoned. Screaming in a guys face to get him to hit you has no place in sport.

Having watched the first few minutes back, McLoone was extremely lucky to be on the field after the first skirmish. He threw a punch at a Kerry player with his back turned. I thought it was Donnacha Walsh, but I think Walsh was the one who saw it and lost the head altogether. McLoone backpeddled and Walsh went after him. Takes a lot to make Walsh lose the rag.

I think both counties should face a big fine a lads who threw punches should be suspended. If it means losing Sheehan, O'Mahoney and Fitzgerald, but an example is made then so be it.

We cannot be hypocritical and moan about Connolly getting off if we get away with this muck ourselves.

wonga77

Sometimes the actions of some of our players is cringeworthy(not just yesterday either), i hate this goading to get a player to hit you nonsense.
Dont think I ever saw D Walsh lose his temper before

homerjay2005

when teams had a go at us in the past, Kerry were "soft", and "couldnt hack the rough stuff".

now when the team is able to stand up for itself and fights fire with fire, we are thugs. it really is amazing how gullible people are to northern football.

the hypocrisy is halarious.

and the "performance" of the Donegal sideline yesterday was a disgrace to the game, they acted like a bunch of animals.

I think it was Marc - Cheap shot and as you said very rare to see Donnacha so annoyed.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gallagher and the Donegal sideline get into bother as well if there is further fallout given their were constantly in the linesman's ear and on the pitch.
