Not very impressed. McElhinney surely deserved a start after last week? Hugh McFadden ain't the answer!

To be honest, I'm a bit meh about the whole thing. Looks like a very talented and capable team to be sending out, but I'm expecting the same auld negative sh!te tactics to be imposed on them.

Nice jersey though!

Hate the New Jersey's home and away. The green band is horrible. Liked the last one. Was Brazilesque

Through Michael Murphy Sports page?

Stream on Michael Murphy Sport's Facebook, if you want to turn off comments from all the idiots, watch it on landscape and swipe right.

Think I'm going to stop watching Donegal games. Watching them hand pass the ball 50 times and then taking a pot shot not very enjoyable. It's not really football either

squareball1988

That's exactly how I thought Hugh's first championship goal would unfold.

Stoner

Is Facebook the only option

ArnoldJRimmer

I've Facebook and Highland almost synched up for that half. Should be well ahead, very questionable square ball and ref gifted them a chance to level it at the end. As the half wore on, the attacking got a little more inventive, these lads are there for the taking

You could head to Navan.

I've given up looking for this poxy Facebook link. The Michael Murphy sport page is something else.

Far better second half to watch anyhow....

Great result, big players came to the fore.

No point going through that about bag of shíte that is the way that clown has us set up. Useless.

Frank McGlynn seemed to be having some serious words with said bag of ****e before the start of the 2nd. half.

Fair due to the old hands. Dug it out.

Sounds like quite the score from Paddy to win it or does it read better than it actually was?

Actually delighted we have another game as I have missed the last two. Will be tight going to make the next one depending on venue but I will be there!

Triboro

So who else is in the bowl with Donegal for mon mornings draw?

Donegal will play either Cork or the Losers of Galway/Roscommon.

If Galway lose, although I cannot see it happening, then we will have them as faik, as Galway cannot meet Mayo again after beating them in the Connacht Semi Final.
Could be wrong. But that`s how I understand it.

No, it was top drawer. Even the build up, creation of space, he pulled the trigger without even looking at the posts, was nice now.

doc_17

Is it neutral venue next day out?

What happened with that disallowed Hugh McFadden goal?

I'm reading a lot of commentary describing the decision as questionable.

I dont know the permutations, but last year, Kerry ended up bizarrely playing Clare in the quarter finals having already played them in the munster semi finals. I dont fully understand the logic of all of this.

I think that if Ross and Cork are the runners up then it is a straight draw between them and Mayo and Donegal for round 4

Quarter finals are then open drawn again (if Cork and Ross win, they avoid the provincial team that beat them).

The best way of avoiding a situation where a team that cant meet another team because of previous fixture meeting would be to take the team out of the bowl at the very start of the draw and have the winning provincial team in question alone in the other bowl. When the successful pairing happens, then put all the balls back in and proceed. The difficulty here is that it is too logical.
